When Merlene Frazer came to Texas to join the Women's Track and Field team as a sophomore in 1993, she knew she'd be facing elite, seasoned athletes. She was a transfer student from San Jacinto Junior College in Pasadena, Texas, and expected the jump from junior college to Division I competition to be big.
But as soon as Frazer took the jump, she soared far past the rest, establishing herself as one of the most dominant short sprinters in Texas Track & Field history.
