EUGENE – Texas A&M captured its eighth national championship over the past six years when the Aggie women won its fourth NCAA Outdoor track and field team title since 2009 at historic Hayward Field on Saturday.

Two victories, a runner-up effort and third place finish on the final day, in front of a crowd that numbered 11,344, earned A&M 34 points on the day. After winning the 4x100 relay in a collegiate leading 42.80 and producing a 1-3 finish in the 200 meters that was won by Kamaria Brown, the Aggies locked up the championship prior to running the 4x400.

“We did some things all the way through this meet that got us in a position to do what we did today,” noted Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry, who earned his 35th NCAA team championship and eighth with the Aggie program. “Today always looks like you sprint this, or hurdle that, but today was a big cap off day. The ladies did very well in the two relays and 200 meters to win the team title.
