 Congratulating the Texas A&M University Aggies for winning the men's 
   and women's NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championship.

Whereas, on June 12, 2010, the Texas A&M University Aggies won the men's and 
        women's NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championship in Eugene, 
        Oregon, at Hayward Field;
Whereas the Texas A&M women amassed 72 points, winning the meet by 15 points 
        over runner-up Oregon's 57;
Whereas the Aggie men scored 55, just 1 point ahead of the Florida Gators, who 
        had 54;
Whereas Texas A&M had a squad of 28 dedicated athletes in Eugene, Oregon, 
        including Texas A&M sprinters Jessica Beard and Curtis Mitchell who were 
        selected Track Athletes of the Year in the south-central region of the 
        United States;
Whereas the Aggies have won consecutive national championships under the 
        leadership of head coach Pat Henry;
Whereas head coach Pat Henry is the only coach to sweep the men's and women's 
        titles in the same year and he has now done it 4 times;
Whereas Aggie head coach Pat Henry earned men's and women's Head Coach of the 
        Year honors while Assistant Coach of the Year honors were awarded to A&M 
        assistant coaches Vince Anderson and Jim VanHootegem;
Whereas this season, both Aggie squads were first in national team rankings for 
        much of the season and won the Big 12 Indoor, the NCAA Indoor, Texas 
        Relays, and the Big 12 Outdoor; and
Whereas the Texas A&M University's men and women's track team have brought pride 
        and honor to the State of Texas: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the Texas A&M University track team and 
        the university's athletes, coaches, faculty, students, and 
        alumni on the winning of the 2010 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track 
        and Field Championship; and
            (2) recognizes Texas A&M University for its excellence as 
        an institution of higher education.
