Arkansas's 2nd place in the 4x400 is going to bump us to tied for 10th in the women's track meet.  I think USC finished ahead of aggy, so they'll be 2nd in the track meet.

We needed to finish 11th or better, and we finished tied for 10th. Skin of our teeth

Just about everything went wrong with DQs on both sides but it was going to take something really crazy because all the projections were assuming USC would win both titles. They were never beating Georgia on the womens side.

Going into final event, USC 2nd, Stanford 6th, UT tied for 9th.  Arkansas takes 2nd into 4x400 to knock UT to tie for 10th.  

 

If I've done my math right, UT wins DC at 1255.25, USC at 1253.75, Stanford at 1251.   Let's see what DC Updates says though.

If Texas had just 1 less point, they would have dropped to a tie with Tech for 11/12th and would have finished behind USC for DC.  Kenondra Davis came through in 200m in 6th for 3 pts and that was the ultimate difference.  Whew!

Congrats to every Longhorn who scored at least a point. We needed them all, as noted. And thanks to aggy for helping us secure another Cup. I know they're proud of that.

My way-too-early prediction is that we win it again next year. Might not win the title in softball, but I think men's sports as a group will score more points. Only a year, or very nearly so, until we find out.

Stanford was still in it right up to the W5000m.  They got 6 pts for one runner finishing 3rd, but they had a second runner in the race (finished 17th).  If they had gotten 3 more points from those 2 runners, they would have finished in 4th in the team race and would have won the DC.  Crazy close.

I would expect football to meet or exceed their score, MBB and baseball will score more. Softball and WBB may score a little less. Volleyball likely a little more.

Let’s increase our points from both basketball programs, baseball, and football next season.  And volleyball I guess. 

Football can’t improve that much, but men’s track, men’s baseball, and men’s basketball can certainly net us way more points next year.

And those bonus points in beach VB sure came in handy. 

How are golf and tennis looking? I trust we'll stay strong in rowing and swimming/diving.

Still too early to know. Mens tennis could be good next year if Timo stays and doesn't go pro yet. Womens tennis is going in the wrong direction, but one or two blue chips can change that in a hurry.

Feel the beat of your heart
Feel the wind in your face
It's more than a contest
It's more than a race
And when it's done
Win or lose
You always did your best
'Cause inside you knew
That one shining moment, you reached for the sky
One shining moment, you knew
One shining moment, you were willing to try
One shining moment, you knew
One shining moment

We play only 20 sports so winning for us is a big deal.  

Need to edit this to include beach volleyball.  We have 21 sports now.

Beach volleyball was the reason we won this year, right?  Without it we have to take cross country and don’t win I think.
