Texas A&M’s women broke a 17-year 4x100m record at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, headlining an 18th-place finish and All-America haul.
Texas A&M women’s track and field didn’t leave Eugene with a team trophy, but the Aggies still walked out of Hayward Field with something louder in a school record, a national top-10 all-time relay mark and a reminder that the Maroon & White can still burn up the biggest stage in college track.
The headline came fast Saturday night at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, when Anya Jackson, Camryn Dickson, Aysha Shaheed and Jasmine Montgomery ripped through the 4x100m final in 42.34 seconds.

That time broke Texas A&M’s 17-year-old program record of 42.36 and pushed the Aggies to No. 9 in NCAA history.
That’s not just a good race. That’s smoke.
The relay team finished fourth nationally, grabbed First Team All-America honors and added five points to Texas A&M’s final team total.
The Aggies ended the meet 18th with 17 points, collecting five First Team All-America honors and eight Second Team honors across the championships.
Dickson didn’t stop with the relay. The senior came back later and delivered one of the best individual performances of her career, placing third in the 200m with a blazing 22.18.
That finish gave Texas A&M six more points and added another First Team All-America honor to Dickson’s résumé. It was her third All-America nod of the meet and the 15th of her career.
That’s superstar stuff, plain and simple.
Jaiya Covington also closed her Aggie career on the national stage with another scoring performance.
She finished sixth in the 100m hurdles at 12.96, earning First Team All-America status and scoring in the event for the second straight season. For a decorated veteran, it was a fitting final punch.
In the field, Abigail Martin gave Texas A&M an early boost in the discus.
The junior launched a third-round throw of 56.15 meters, or 184 feet, 2 inches, to climb into eighth place and secure a valuable point. It also gave Martin another First Team honor in the event.
Machaeda Linton wrapped up the Aggies’ field-event showing in the triple jump, placing 12th with a second-round leap of 13.24 meters, or 43 feet, 5.25 inches.
Texas A&M didn’t dominate the scoreboard, but it made history where it mattered. A school record, elite relay speed and a stacked All-America haul made sure the Aggies didn’t leave quietly.
