No one was challenging LSU this year anyways. Looks like Texas will still have a top 10 or maybe top 5 finish

Sixth place.

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Women aren't doing much better than the men. Looks like they'll finish close to top 10, but USC is running away with the title.

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

Women finished 7th at the NCAA's. USC ran away with the title.

Literally like an hour after they announced Kyprianou was leaving, who walked away at the end of his contract because UGA would not commit to facility upgrades.   It wasn't a surprise he was leaving either - sounds like UGA was maybe holding back facility money to get him to go? 

He had been at UGA in some capacity for 14 seasons and won the Women's Indoor and Men's Outdoor in 2018.  

What a weird situation.

Tripp Piperi apparently has not fully recovered from his ankle injury and did not qualify for the Olympic team with a decent 11th place put of 65’+, about 6’ shy of his personal best last year.

However, former Longhorn Ryan Crouser came in first by breaking the 31 year old world record with a monster throw of 76’-8.25”.

This is a big get in track and field. Herron was the #1 recruit back in '19 and is transferring from USC.

Davis made the final 8 in the long jump. Currently sitting in 7th with 3 jumps to go.

Ended 6th.  Damn fine showing for an Olympics rookie.

I still say we can claim Gabby Thomas - enrolled at UT grad school and Valarie Allman, volunteer assistant on the track team.

Keni Harrison (100m hurdles silver) is also a volunteer assistant at Texas
