2026 Track and Field

Nobody has started a thread for the UH T&F 2026 season… so I will.
UH had their first indoor meet Jan 10.
UH is off to a good start with AA Michaela Mouton 200m and 400m sprinter back to health.
Last year she was injured. Fr HS AA signee Dominic Harper ran a 200m in 21.12 and AA Jamar Marshall ran the 60mh in 7.71.

Nobody replying about T&F?
The Big 12 Indoor Championship is this weekend. I am more concerned about the Men and Women qualifying for the Nationals than I am about Conference Big 12( I think the coaches would agree with me). The Men’s team should do well and the Women’s should do better than last year.

Huge news! Louie is back and will compete in this weekend’s Big 12 Indoor. Besides the insight to his return, another reason Carl is the greatest Cougar of all-time. Hope the link works

Drama in the men’s 4*400.

Texas Tech needs a single point to clinch the men’s Championship. Collision in the 4*400, Texas Tech runner goes down, but Tech finishes the race and finishes in 8th place, getting a single point. But…

The tech runner stepped off the track after the collision. Race is under review now…

45 minutes later the reviews are complete. Women’s 4*400 was also under review. Both reviews would determine the men and women’s Champions.

Texas Tech won both reviews and are M&W Champions of the Big 12.

UH Men tied for 5th place, and UH Women came in 12th.

I am surprised our track does as well as it does when you consider our NIL distribution to the lesser programs not called basketball or football

These dudes were cooking!

Y’all have to watch the women win this 4x400 at the Texas Relays. The anchor made up a huge deficit and dusted UT.

Wow, only a sophomore. Top football player as well. Has offers from just about everyone including the Coogs.

As of March 2026, C.E. King High School sophomore

Dillon Mitchell holds the fastest-ever 100-meter time for a Texas sophomore, running a wind-aided 9.88 seconds (+5.8 m/s) at the Texas A&M Bluebonnet Invitational. The 16-year-old’s performance is considered one of the fastest all-conditions times for his age group.

  • Top Performance: Dillon Mitchell (2026) – 9.88s (Wind-aided).
  • Significance: This performance surpassed previous sophomore marks and established him as a top national contender.
  • Key Fact: Mitchell is also a standout football talent and achieved this mark in March of his 10th-grade year.

Impressive!

Mr. Hicks won the 3A state championship in the long jump with a 24’4.75" and 3rd in the 100m with a 10.49 (winner was 10.02!).

Watching the conference championships. So many great athletes separated by tenths of a second or inches. It’s hard to discern which to recruit unless they are stellar. It seems to me you either recruit to win a conference or National Championship. To do both would take a huge NIL commitment. TT appears to be the only school willing to do so.

I wonder what happened with Nwoejeki? He was the favorite in the Shot but apparently didn’t compete/participate
