Burning up the track, Frogs continue the tradition in speed events.
The fastest. TCU juniors Anthony Amantine and Roy Williams, two members of TCU’s 4×200 team, burned up the Texas Relays in April and graced the cover of the June issue of Track & Field News, the most widely read track & field magazine in the world.
Less than a month later, TCU virtually swept the Penn Relays, setting a new collegiate record in the 4×200 (set by the 1986 TCU team) of 19.67 seconds, even beating the meet time posted by the USA National team.
In addition, the Frogs, who boast seven All-Americans, finished fourth in the country for the season, earned national champ rights in the 4×400 relay and won the WAC indoor championship.
“I knew there was a great tradition in the speed events when I came to TCU,” said Coach Monte Stratton at the Penn Relays. “Tradition is a two-sided sword. It’s a monster that had been created long before I arrived and before these guys arrived. Some days you have to feed the monster. Today, we fed the monster.”
