Eight Aggies punch tickets to Tokyo Olympics

The Tokyo Olympic Games are now less than a month away, and several Aggies will be representing the USA as well as other countries when the games get under way on July 23.

Deadmon is a graduate student on the A&M track team, and while he failed to qualify for the individual 400 meters, but did enough to be a part of the USA’s 4x400 meter relay team.

Gittens is a junior at A&M and was named the United States Track & Field Cross Country Association (USTFCCCA) Women’s National Field Athlete of the Year earlier this summer.
