In order for Texas to stay competitive and make a run during the Big 12 Championships, the team will look for resilience as they prepare for a tough match up against Texas Tech as they play host this Sunday for Senior Day at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center.
In total, 13 Longhorns will compete in just six events over the two-day period. Friday will end with five Texas members racing in the 5,000-meters just hours before the Longhorn Invitational begins.
The rest of the Longhorns will stay at home in preparation for the Longhorn Invitational, a one day, non-scored meet, hosted by Texas that is scheduled for Saturday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
You couldn’t tell Augie Garrido was leading a team in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row by his demeanor after Texas’ 6-1 sleep-inducing win.
Head coach Augie Garrido knows that the Longhorns need to win their games against Big 12 opponents in mass in order to have a chance at returning to the postseason.
“Our goal was first and foremost to win the World Cup,” said Christopher Morris, finance senior and Texas Quidditch co-captain. “And to prove that we are a great team.”
Much like a closely followed celebrity, the Big 12 Conference basks in the sunlight of collegiate sports, marked by rumors of expansion and new additions.
