Thank you all for your annual participation in the annual AState Invitational. Especially our friends at Texas State. Without them we'd win every tournament by 50 points.

Track school. It’s gotten comical how good we are.

stAte is always the team to beat (both teams). TXST women were hanging with stAte but when you don't have any finalists in 7 of the 12 track events, well, that isn't going to get you the title. TXST had 97 after 16 events and only got 10 points in the next 5.

Indoor (W) TXST has won 5 since joining so, not too shabby.
Men only won 1 indoor but UTA had 3 titles.
Competition has thinned out but....you guys are always the team to beat, no doubt.

Our program was in the dumps for awhile but they've built back better.

Perhaps you should teach them to catch a football.

Not too long ago we were comically good at football(5 Championships in 6 years) but for the last 3-4 years we've been just depressing. I hope we get back to the school we are instead of the before-Snickers team we've had recently.

Congrats stAte on the sweep

Looking up conference history/past champions is hard for some folks.

I know. Just ribbing you. It's good to be good at other things, but I'd trade it all for a playoff viable team in football or an FAU season in basketball.

thankful for our track program…it’s the best thing we have right now…with soccer and bowling coming close to Track’s success. Now if we could get the big 4 sports back on track…

I like how this Texas State newspaper said they asserted their dominance.

We need to pay our track coaches more.
