Last week, the Houston Invitational offered the track team a chance to rest some people and pad their times and marks against fairly lighter competition.
They will need everyone to perform to the best of their ability this Friday and Saturday as they travel to College Station for the Charlie Thomas Invitational. The No. 25 Cougars come into the meet with six athletes ranked in the top 16 of the NCAA charts, the mark needed to qualify for the national championships in March.
In their toughest meet to date, the Cougars will face teams from Baylor, Cincinnati, Clemson, Rice, Texas Christian, UCLA and the hosting Texas A&M.
