First of all, congratulations to Coach Ross and the team for an awesome, dominating performance! It's a Great time for Aggie Athletics! That being said, I would like to know from those close to Track and Field. Do we have the means of keeping Coach Ross in place over the foreseeable future? Coach Ross has reached the pinnacle of HBCU athletics and making a lot of noise Nationally. He has to be on the radar of PWCs.
