Current Projects - Anderson Track and Field Renovation

When Byrne lured Pat Henry from the tradition-rich LSU track program-where Henry won 27 team NCAA national titles in 17 years-Texas A&M made a major commitment to competing on a national level in track and field. Now, the commitment must continue in terms of renovating the Anderson Track & Field Complex, which has undergone very few enhancements and upgrades since it was first opened in 1986. The master plan for the track and field facility also includes the construction of a new weight room and training facility. Elite track and field programs often attract many world-class, dual-sport athletes to a college campus, meaning that a financial gift to track and field could not only draw sprinters, hurdlers, distance runners and throwers to A&M, but could also benefit the Aggies' football, basketball and other sports teams.
