AUBURN – The Texas A&M track & field team opens its outdoor postseason campaign with the SEC Championships held at the Hutsell-Rosen Track, May 14-16.

The Aggies set their sights on the conference championships and enter the meet in good from, as the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association ranks both groups in the top 10 nationally with the men holding fifth and women seventh.

Regular-Season Wrap Up
A&M closed out its nine-meet regular season slate with five new school records and 61 event wins throughout the campaign.

Setting the new standards at the top of the record book included Camryn Dickson in the 200m (22.15), Ja'Qualon Scott in the 400m hurdles (48.22), Michael Moiben in the 10,000m (28:28.90), Henry Zimmerman in the hammer throw (69.04m/226-6) and the men's 4x800m relay team (7:11.64).

Another standout performance this season came from Zaza Nnamdi, as the senior cemented himself among the all-time greats in the men's javelin. He recorded a mark of 84.68m/277-10 at the Tom Jones Memorial which broke his personal best, ranks second in the Aggie record books, fourth in NCAA history and seventh in African history.
