I am a huge track and field fan, concentrating on schools in the Southwest. I am also an official at numerous track meets around Texas and the Southwest - Texas Relays, Big 12 championships, LSC championships, SBC championships, SLC championships, etc. I dropped by your board to make certain that the Vaquero faithful were well of aware of the big-time hire that UT-RGV made in hiring Darren Flowers as your new track and field HC. Coach Flowers has done a fantastic job of building a premier D-II program in Canyon on a shoestring budget. And, UT-RGV will be fully funding his scholarships - a luxury fewer than 10 D-I schools in Texas have!
The WAC is a rather weak track conference that UT-RGV should dominate rather quickly. If some of the rumors are true of the SBC courting UT-RGV, the Vaqueros could potentially be a top-3 school in the SBC in short order.
Congrats to your AD on making a very informed decision in hiring Coach Flowers. I will follow your program more closely to see how well UT-RGV does in the next 5 years.
