TCU started their year traveling throughout Texas, setting school records across the board. The Frogs kicked off the Indoor season on Jan. 13. 

The season’s first meet took the Frogs to Lubbock, Texas for the McFerrin 12 Degree Invitational in College Station, Texas. The team then traveled to Lubbock, Texas, for the Corky Classic.  

The women of TCU took College Station by storm, placing 2nd overall. With five teams participating, the Frogs exerted considerable effort to achieve top rankings in various categories. 

Senior Ryan Engels secured the first position in the 800m race with a time of 2:11.68. 

 The Frogs asserted their dominance in the women’s mile race, securing two of the top three positions. Gracie Morris claimed the first spot, with a time of 4:39.07, while Tabitha Kalunde Ngao followed in third place with a time of 4:52.38.  

Morris continued on to the Corky Classic in Lubbock, where she doubled down on the record-breaking, setting a new personal-best mile time of 4:39.07. Morris holds extensive titles at TCU, most notably the No. 1 Indoor Mile (4:40.81) on TCU’s All-Time Top 10 List.

Morris’s brother, Graydon, is a TCU men’s track star in his own right, placing first in the 3000m at the Corky Classic with his time of 8:16.89, good for the fourth-fastest time in program history. 

Junior sprinter Iyana Gray demonstrated her dedication in Lubbock by securing the second position in the Women’s 200m with a time of 23.02. Gray now holds the No. 2 spot on TCU’s Indoor 200m All-Time List. 

The Horned Frogs have 20 freshmen on the Indoor team roster, bringing a new energy to the 2024 season.  

Freshman Teanna Harlin made her debut in the 200-meter dash, with a time of 23.50 seconds. The time is the seventh-fastest in the NCAA this year. Harlin’s sister Breanna is also a sprinter for TCU Track and Field and is a pre-medicine major. 

The Big 12 Indoor Championship will take place in Lubbock, Texas on Feb. 13.
