The meet is named after Texas State Hall of Honor member and Olympic gold medalist Charles Austin. The three-time Olympian, who won a gold medal at the 1996 Olympics, is the current Olympic and American high jump record holder and has won two gold medals at the world championships. He was inducted into the United States Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2012 and the Texas State Hall of Honor in 2002. Austin still holds the Texas State school record in the men's high jump in both indoor (2.40m/7-6.5) and outdoor (2.35m/7-8.5) – marks that have stood since 1990.
The Bobcats will also recognize its seniors with a special ceremony on Saturday at 2:30 pm.
