Texas A&M wins fourth Big 12 Indoor title

Texas A&M wins fourth Big 12 Indoor title
Aggie men place third for second consecutive year
Feb. 27, 2010


Ames, Iowa - A fourth consecutive Big 12 Indoor championship was claimed by the No. 2 Texas A&M women on Saturday when a surplus of sprinting and hurdling points rolled into a 117-point second day effort at the Lied Recreation-Athletic Facility on the Iowa State campus.

"Since I've been here we've started a trend winning the conference title and I hope it continues," Porscha Lucas stated. "I knew we had the ability to be a great team when I was in my freshman year, but I didn't expect to have this many titles under our belt by the time I was a senior."

Including the outdoor conference meet, the Aggie women have now won seven consecutive titles since earning their first ever league title in this same building during the 2007 indoor season.

The No. 1 Aggie men placed third in team scoring for the second consecutive year, scoring 99.5 points this year compared to the 84 they attained last season. Oklahoma won the men's title with 114 points ahead of Nebraska's 110.

In addition Texas A&M earned a couple of points in the State Farm Lone Star Showdown with Texas, who placed sixth (71 points) in the men's competition and seventh (58 points) in the women's field.

"Across the board if you look at everything the team did, they really got after it today," Aggie head coach Pat Henry said. "It's a tough meet for us to win.

"You can have a really good team and come in here and be third or fourth, but still have a good track team at the next meet. I'm extremely pleased with the overall effort of our team."

Gabby Mayo scored 25 points in the meet for the Aggies and claimed high point honors for the second consecutive year. She won the 60 hurdles in a school record 8.05 seconds and 20 minutes later edged out a win in the 60 meters with a 7.30 clocking. A fourth-place effort in the 200 added five more points to her tally.

"I'm happy to have come out on top," Mayo said. "I'm very pleased to have repeated that double and to be high point scorer again. Hopefully, I'll get even faster by nationals. I'm glad to have this type of competition on my team, it makes us all faster."

Porscha Lucas and Jessica Beard each won their respective event for the third consecutive year. Then the women's 4 x 400 relay finished off the meet by winning for a fourth consecutive year.

"We did a lot of things today that don't happen very often," Henry noted. "Jessica is an amazing human being right now. Gabby is a tremendous talent and anybody who can double and then come back and contribute in another event is a huge performance."

For the men victories in the 200 by Curtis Mitchell and 400 by Tabarie Henry was topped off by a 4 x 400 relay win, the first ever for A&M at a Big 12 indoor meet.

For the weekend the Aggies totaled six individual victories and two relay wins. Six runner-up efforts followed along with five third-place finishes.

Texas Tech led the women's meet by eight points over Texas A&M following the 800. With three event finals remaining the Aggies reclaimed the lead and built a 19-point cushion with a dominating display of speed in the 200.

Lucas led an A&M 1-2-3-4 sweep for 29 points in the 200, winning in a time of 23.12 seconds. The time broke the Lied Center record of 23.16 set in 1998 by Nanceen Perry of Texas. Beard finished second in a NCAA automatic time of 23.18 while Jeneba Tarmoh (Mt. Pleasant HS, San Jose) (23.25) placed third and Mayo (23.43) was fourth.

Tech finished with 115 points while Nebraska placed third with 96 and Oklahoma totaled 65 for fourth.

"I'm excited that I was able to win the 200 again," Lucas said. "We had a plan with Jessica in the 200 and it worked. I told her she could run well in the 200. After the prelims I knew we had the capability to sweep the final."

Beard put on quite the show in the 400 with a winning time of 51.15, the fastest time ever by an American on an oversized track and seventh best in the world. It bettered the conference meet record of 52.23 set in 2004 by Raasin McIntosh of Texas. It also bettered the Lied Center record of 52.11 set by Shauna Smith of Wyoming.

"I really feel blessed to have that type of performance," Beard noted. "I knew I was capable of doing something great, but I didn't know the plan God had for me. I found out today.

"When I saw the time for my 200 I thought, `wow, I hit the auto mark in the 200.' I had a talk with Porscha before the race and told her I'm going to get out fast if I'm in the same section as you. She said we could go 1-4. I'm glad our strategy worked and we came out on top."

The collegiate leader heading into the meet, Beard also broke her school record of 51.77 seconds she established as the NCAA runner-up last March. Beard also set the fastest time in the world this season on any sized track. During the Russian Championships held this weekend a world best time of 51.22 was set by Tatyana Firova.

In repeating her double victory from last season, Mayo defeated teammate Natasha Ruddock (8.11) in the 60 hurdles in a school record of 8.05 seconds and then 20 minutes later claimed the 60 meters in 7.30 over Oklahoma's Scottesha Miller, who also clocked 7.30. The difference between the two sprinters in the 60 - 7.295 to 7.297.

The Aggie women totaled 24 points in the hurdles and 19 more in the 60 meters. Behind Mayo and Ruddock in the 60 hurdles were Vashti Thomas (8.41) finishing fifth and Donique' Flemings (8.53) in seventh. Tarmoh (7.33) placed third in the 60 while Lucas (7.43) finished sixth.

For the women's relay victory the foursome of Tarmoh, Flemings, Andrea Sutherland and Beard won with a 3:33.20 clocking to break the Big 12 meet record of 3:34.29 established by Baylor in 2000.

The fourth consecutive victory in the women's 4 x 400 by Texas A&M matched a four-year cycle by Texas from 2002-2005.

"In the relay we almost hit the NCAA auto mark of 3:33, so we're not far from it," Beard said. "I'm pretty sure that will get us a good ranking for the NCAA Championships."

In the men's relay the Aggie foursome of Demetrius Pinder, Tran Howell, Bryan Miller and Henry won in 3:04.99 to end a 12-year winning streak by Baylor, who placed second in 3:05.57.

"In the relay, like always, we fight hard to the end," T. Henry said. "That's what it takes to be champions. It was great to win this. Those Baylor guys always want to win the relay. To stab those guys in the heart, it feels good."

Oklahoma, who led Nebraska by one point (108 to 107) heading into the relay, placed third in the 4 x 400 (3:08.01) to earn the deciding points for the men's team title. The Sooners totaled 114 points while Nebraska was second with 110.

Tabarie Henry paced a 1-2-4 effort by the Aggie men in the 400, winning A&M's first title in the event with a 46.28 while teammate Pinder placed second in 46.49. Miller finished fourth in 46.81.

"Today I tried some new things that the coaches wanted me to do in the 400," T. Henry said. "I tried it out and the outcome was ok. It's a learning process from here on out."

Curtis Mitchell won the 200 in 20.73, becoming the third A&M champ in the event at a Big 12 indoor meet, as he bettered two-time defending champion Trey Harts of Baylor (21.12) who placed fourth.

Gerald Phiri (21.05) finished third behind OU's Rakieem Salaam (20.80) while Howell (21.56) placed sixth. In the 60 Phiri (6.70) placed second and had a close finish with Salaam, who was awarded the win with a 6.69 clocking.

Sandy Wooten set a school record in the 600 yards attempting to defend her Big 12 title in the event. Wooten finished third in 1:20.88 while teammate Sutherland placed fourth in a career best of 1:21.37.

The men's 600 yards resulted in a 2-3 finish for Joey Roberts (1:09.52) and Michael Preble (1:09.93). Roberts set the third-fastest time ever at A&M.

Ashika Charan (Hometown:West Covina, California; High School:Claremont
produced her best triple jump of the season, reaching a distance of 42-9 (13.03), for second place. Thomas (41-9.75) placed eighth while Tiffany Peters (40-9.75) just missed scoring in ninth place.

The men's triple jump also had a runner-up finish for Zuheir Sharif (Franklin HS, Elk Grove), who led the event during the finals. Sharif, a two-time Big 12 champion, established a mark of 53-9 in the fifth round, but was passed by a 54-0.5 from Texas Tech's Bryce Lamb in the sixth stanza.

Tyron Stewart (52-3.5) placed fourth for A&M in the triple jump while Julian Reid (50-1.25) finished 10th.

Another key fourth-place finish was turned in by Daphne Fitzpatrick as she cleared a personal best of 5-9.25, eighth best on the Aggie all-time list.

It was a three-man battle coming off the final turn between Manzano, 2008 Olympic Trials fourth-place finisher Will Leer and 2009 USA Indoor 3,000m champion David Torrence, but Manzano had too much in reserve in the end to be defeated. Leer finished as the runner-up in 3:49.31, with Torrence placing third in 3:50.08

2010 USA Indoor Track & Field Championships Quotes - Day 1

Jillian Camarena (Woodland HS, Stanford), women's shot put winner



I started with a miss on my hands. My third throw was the best and I tried to improve from there. My timing was off. Now I have to pull it all together for Doha. This win was special for me. It was for my grandmother who recently passed away.



Maria Michta, women's 3,000m race walk winner



It was awesome. I went out having pr'd three weeks ago. I knew the altitude would be a factor and it was. It hit me at 2,000m. I just finished strong. I felt like I was dreaming the last 100m. It was just so exciting.



Jeremy Hicks, men's long jump winner



Being called a national champion sounds pretty good. This was my third time here at this track and it was definitely my best performance. It was wonderful. I believed in myself and it finally paid off.



Nick Symmonds, men's 800m winner



I was pretty worried for a minute there. When I saw I was a couple of seconds behind at 600m, I was like that's a lot to make up. That last lap I was running scared.



That dead spot in the track is gone. It's a great track and it was a great race.



Leo Manzano, men's 1,500m winner



It was a good race. This is nationals and the best in the nation were here. I knew I had to give it a go and it worked out really well. I hadn't trained at altitude yet so I was at a disadvantage. I just had to go out and compete.



Anna (Willard) Pierce



I was planning to go hard from 250m. I wanted to run 1:59 but I'm happy with my race today. I'm quicker this year, its really exciting. I think I can medal at Doha. Entering the 1500 here was just an insurance plan.



Terrence Trammell, men's 60m hurdles winner



I think my start wasn't what it should have been, I was trying not to jump. I was trying to be aggressive through the first hurdles and I really focus on four and five. I still have time to improve before Doha. I'm not injured, coming off a head cold. I expect the best in Doha.



Ginnie Powell (Rainier Beach HS, Seattle, WA 2002; USC) , women's 60m hurdles winner


I was really focused and strong and confident. I put it all out there on the track. Bobby (Kersee) told me to really sprint off the last hurdle and I did.



Brittney Reese, women's long jump winner



I was trying for a win or at least a season's best and I came out with both. I am very pleased with today. And I expect good things in Doha.



Lacy Janson, women's pole vault winner



I have no complaints. I had two good attempts at 4.84m (American Record height). I couldn't be more confident going into World Indoors.



Morgan Uceny, women's 1,500m winner



It's great. I just wanted to get out there. Running from the back and relaxing isn't my style.



Ivory Williams, men's 60m winner



I just came out here ready to run, stay relaxed and come out with the victory. And that's what happened.



Carmelita Jeter (Cal State Dominguez Hills), women's 60m winner



I had to be patient because of the false starts. My confidence is up but there is still someone out there running faster than me.

AMES, Iowa -- Texas A&M's Gabby Mayo was the high-point performer at the Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Championships for a second straight year to lead the Aggie women to their fourth straight title Saturday.

Mayo defended her titles in the 60-meter hurdles (8.05 seconds, a school record) and 60-meter dash (7.30) in helping the Aggies to 130 1/2 points. Texas Tech was second with 115.

"I'm happy to have come out on top," said Mayo, who also was fourth in the 200-meter dash. "I'm very pleased to have repeated that double and to be high-point scorer again. Hopefully, I'll get even faster by nationals. I'm glad to have this type of competition on my team, it makes us all faster."

On the men's side, Oklahoma won the last event to win its first indoor crown with 114 points, four more than Nebraska. A&M was third (99 1/2).

A&M's Jessica Beard won her third consecutive 400-meter dash (51.15), which was a Big 12 meet record. Porscha Lucas won her third straight 200 meters (23.12). The Aggies ended by winning the 4x400 meter relay, setting a meet in 3:33.20.

"Since I've been here we've started a trend winning the conference title and I hope it continues," Lucas said. "I knew we had the ability to be a great team when I was in my freshman year, but I didn't expect to have this many titles under our belt by the time I was a senior."

The Aggie men won three events -- Tabarie Henry in the 400 meters (46.28), Curtis Mitchell in the 200 meters (20.73) and the 4x400 relay team (3:04.99).

"Across the board if you look at everything the team did, they really got after it today," A&M head coach Pat Henry said. "It's a tough meet for us to win. You can have a really good team and come in here and be third or fourth, but still have a good track team at the next meet. I'm extremely pleased with the overall effort of our team."

Texas Tech led the women's meet by eight points over A&M after the 800. With three event finals remaining the Aggies reclaimed the lead and built a 19-point cushion by dominating the 200.

Lucas led an A&M 1-2-3-4 sweep for 29 points. Her time broke the Lied Center record of 23.16 set in 1998 by Nanceen Perry of Texas. Beard finished second in a NCAA automatic time of 23.18 while Jeneba Tarmoh (Mt. Pleasant HS, San Jose) (23.25) placed third and Mayo (23.43) was fourth.

Feb. 27, 2010


ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Senior Karoline Koehler [Erfurt, Germany (Pierre-de-Coubertin Gymnasium)] won the triple jump and took second in the 60-meter dash to lead the San Diego State track and field team to a third-place finish at the 2010 Mountain West Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships Saturday in Albuquerque, N.M. The third-place finish was the Aztecs' best since 2004.

Koehler captured her first indoor triple jump title with a leap of 43 feet, 10.50 inches, her second NCAA automatically qualifying jump of the season. She also took second in the 60 meters in an NCAA provisional qualifying time of 7.39 seconds and fourth in the 200 in a personal-best clocking of 24.07 (fifth in school history).

Koehler, who also took first in the long jump on Friday, earned the MWC High Point Award after cumulating 33 points over the three-day event. It is the third time Koehler won the high point award (2009 outdoor and 2008 indoor).

"I was very happy with how we competed as a team," first-year head coach Shelia Burrell said. "The only thing on our mind was to compete and go after every point. We had (personal records) all across the board and Karoline (Koehler) had an amazing meet."

Junior Stephanie James [Granite Bay, Calif. (Granite Bay HS)]earned the Co-Outstanding Performance of the meet after winning the pole vault on Friday in a jump of 14-01.25, which set a school record, a MWC all-time record and a MWC championship meet record.

Also on Saturday, senior Nicole Stone [Ontario, Calif. (Rancho Cucamonga HS)]improved her NCAA provisional time in the 400, taking third in an indoor personal-best time of 53.69. She also finished ninth in the 200 (24.83).

Junior Briana Johnson [Orlando, Fla. (University HS) ] (8.592) and sophomore Annimari Korte [Kirkkonummi, Finland (Univ. of Georgia)] (8.595) finished second and third, respectively, in the 60-meter hurdles, while sophomore Josefine Koskinen [Stockholm, Sweden (Stockholm University)]was sixth in the 800 in a SDSU-best time of 2:12.41.

Freshman Alex Evans [Houston, Texas] finished fourth in the triple jump in 40-04.75, a collegiate best and fourth-best mark in school history, while sophomore Thoraya Maronsey [La Mesa, Calif. (Helix HS)]took eighth (37-05.00).

In relay action, the quartet of Jessika Hornsby [Moreno Valley, Calif. (Rancho Verde HS), Amber Waddell [San Diego, Calif. (Clairemont HS), Kierstan Kirkland and AnSherae Devine [Las Vegas, Nev. (Western HS)] finished fourth in 3:49.63.

The Aztecs will compete in the San Diego City Championships at UCSD and the Ben Brown Invitational in Fullerton, Calif., on Saturday.

Amber Kaufman Defends WAC High Jump Gold

; UH Track Takes Fifth

2/27/2010 1:56:06 PM
Final Results

NAMPA, Idaho – University of Hawai‘i high jumper Amber Kaufman (Branham High School, San Jose) captured the gold medal for the second consecutive year at the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Indoor Championships.

For Kaufman, it was her fourth gold medal at WAC meets during her career. The San Jose, Calif., native cleared 6-0 (1.83m) to easily capture the title over teammate Sarah Saddleton Auckland, New Zealand / ACG Strathallan(5-8/1.73m), who finished runner-up for the second straight year. Freshman Sam Balentine (Lodi, CA / Lodi HS), who placed fourth in the pentathlon two days earlier, was sixth at 5-5.75 (1.67m).

Most of UH’s 61.5 team points came from the high jump as the Rainbow Wahine scored 21 points in the event.

Louisiana Tech captured its fifth straight WAC Indoor title with 175 points followed by Utah State (104.5), Idaho (102), New Mexico State (63), UH (61.5), Nevada (55.5), Boise State (51), and Fresno State (49.5).

Newcomer Madara Apine, a Florida transfer, captured the silver medal in the triple jump at her first WAC meet. The Latvian jumped 39-11.25 (12.17m), to extend UH’s silver medal streak in the event to three straight years.

In the weight throw, Anika Borden and Emma MacCorquodale finished fourth and fifth, respectively, earning UH nine team points. Borden, a junior from Honolulu, threw 52-8.25 (16.06m) while MacCorquodale, a sophomore from Nanaimo, British Columbia, heaved 52-6.5 (16.01m) to finish close behind.

UH entered three competitors in the pole vault competition with top finisher Karen Guravska tying for eighth with a jump of 11-7.75 (3.55m). Senior Sam Whitehall picked up two team points for UH in the 800-meter final, placing seventh at 2:19.62.

The Rainbow Wahine capped the meet with a seventh place finish in the 4x400-meter relay. The team of Cecelia Durocher, Whitehall, Mariana Monasi (Oceanside, CA / San Diego), and Jamilee Jimenez completed the race in 4:08.07.

Kaufman will next compete in the high jump at the NCAA Indoor Championships, March 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark. The rest of the Rainbow Wahine will prepare for the outdoor track season which begins in mid-March.

2009 USA Indoor Track & Field Championships Quotes - Day 1

Anna Pierce, women's 800 meter heat winner

"I wanted a bank, I didn't even have to do anything so that was pretty nice. I feel good. I think all the altitude training is paying off. I spent most of my time training in Mammoth, I feel like I can deal with the altitude and not get too bogged down."

Nick Symmonds, men's 800 meter heat winner

"We all wanted to work together a little bit. I was supposed to take over the lead with 150 to go but it was too fast. I just found a way to work with him. I said last night I don't anyone is going to run under 1:48 on this track and I think we might have just done that."

Erica McLain, women's triple jump winner
Current Residence: Menlo Park, Calif.
High School: Plano (Tex.) East HS '04
College: Stanford '08


"I was cramping on my first jump a little bit. I felt it and knew I had to push through. My first jump ended up being 1cm over what I needed, I watched everyone's mark and tried to stay as together as I could and it all worked out. I didn't have much in me afterwards. In the finals I jumped on my first one and cramped, passed on the second and cramped again. I feel pretty good about how the day went. I like the runway, my training is going really well. I haven't had a US championship title since 2005 outdoor championships and that was my freshman year of college and actually then I was just 1 cm over the standard I needed. I wanted this so bad."

Allyson Felix, women's 400 meter heat winner
Los Angeles Baptist High School


"I felt a little sluggish, so we will just have to see how it goes. (On feeling the altitude) I felt something. Because of the altitude I'm definitely a little sluggish out there. (On the finals) I think I am going to be in the slower heat. We'll see I'm not feeling too great going into it, but lets see if my legs can get it together."

Kerron Clement, men's 400 meter heat winner

"It went well today. The altitude was a little bit of a factor. It was my first time running at this altitude. The track is a fast track, but it was good."

"It got off to a shaky start with a couple of the lower heights and I was in fourth place when the bar changed to 7'7". I knew I had to at least make that height to get on the team. I went ahead and made 7'8". A couple of other guys made it and I knew if I didn't make 7'8" I still may have not made the team because I had a couple other early misses. I knew I had to make 7'8", I made it on the first attempt and I feel really good about it. It was a great competition. I think it was the best competition ever for the USA championships. It was an honor to be a part of and especially to win. I am excited and I really feel that I can get a medal. The Russians have won a lot of things for a long time. Hopefully we can take it to the Russians. I've been training very hard. I had an injury (strained tendon on my jumping foot, just below the ankle) and this is only my second meet of the year. I hope I didn't re-hurt my foot, it's kind of tender right now and it isn't feeling too goo d."

Tim Seaman, men's 5000 meter race-walk winner

"Today went different. Out of all the 12 championships this is definitely the most topsy turvy race I have ever done. With the altitude you can't just push, you have push and then rest. Once I've taken the lead I have never let it up. This is the first time that I let the lead up. I was frustrated that I took it out so slow. I told myself 'Ok, I'm going to take it,' and I pushed too hard and I had to slow down. It felt like my lungs were burning and I spent three weeks at altitude so I can only imagine how these other guys how bad they felt. This is my 43rd win overall, so it moves me into No. 2 all-time track and field national championship wins. This was my 12th win in indoor, which is the most by any athlete in any event in track and field history."

Amber Campbell, women's weight throw winner

"This hands down was one of the best series ever. It felt great, the crowd was amazing, the ball was just flying. It felt amazing. (how it felt to open with the her best throw) Fantastic. You can never complain about opening up with your best throw ever. I was trying to focus on the things we have been working on in practice. It was mechanical. I was trying to hit the things that I have been working on, it was very step one, step two, step three. I guess I should do it like that all the time. (on her homecoming) My god parents are here and my uncle, I haven't seen them in years. It really is like coming home."

Tim Mack, men's pole vault winner

"It means a lot. I am still fired up. This is the highest I have jumped in indoors in six years. I felt really good coming into the meet. (competition with the other gold medaler) We are actually really good friends, we helped each other out a lot. But a lot of time during competition I have too much to worry about than to think about other people. I was competing against the event really."

Chaunte Howard Lowe, women's high jump winner
High School: J.W. North (Riverside, Calif.) HS '02
College: Georgia Tech '06

"This hit my outdoor personal record (PR) but indoor yes that is the closest I have ever come to it. I knew I was over it, I felt it. Maybe I got lazy at the end but I didn't feel like I touched the bar or anything so when it came down it shocked me. But I was happy to be able to get that much height over it. This is the best I have ever jumped this early in the season. My indoor PR last year was 195, this is by far the best. It's really exciting because I haven't PRed since I had my daughter, and she is two and a half now. This is huge for me. When I saw the bar fall, I was excited because I got that high, but it felt like everything had slipped through my fingers. That would have been a good mark for the Visa Series."

Bernard Lagat, men's 3000 meter winner

"I didn't know how I was going to feel with the altitude. I actually didn't feel anything after about five laps. I just wanted to have fun. I was running on the inside. I wanted to be able to keep an eye on who was going to make a move. I just wanted to win and make the team. I wanted to maintain the lead. I wanted to make sure I was going to be number one. I wanted to win and make the team. That is what I came here for."

Renee Metivier Baillie, Women's 3000 meter winner

"Coach might be mad at me I was supposed to wait five laps and then take off. I could just tell that everyone was putting on the breaks and I thought screw it I'm going to go. I had a really good workout on Tuesday so I had the confidence to continue. In a race situation you don't always know what to do so I just went with my gut. I never quite knew how far the gap was, I was just focused on myself. I had to stay in the moment each lap by lap. I know I have a good kick and as soon as I hit the last lap I knew I was going to give it a run. I didn't know what was going to happen but you have to be confident in yourself whether you win or lose."

A.G. Kruger, men's weight throw winner

"I had a lot of fun this year. I trained to throw far. I knew I was capable so I just came out here and threw. The tenth best throw ever. It was great."

Lawrence Willis, men's triple jump winner

"The competition was great. Jumping against the regining champion, I knew I had to put up a good mark. It's...I don't even know what to say. After taking a year off, with all the support from my family and friends, this just feels great."
