NORTH ABACO, Bahamas – Former Texan A&M track standout Shavez Hart tragically died early Saturday morning in North Abaco, Bahamas.
“It’s so tragic. Shavez Hart was obviously one of our best athletes of all time, but he was one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and such a gentle man,” said the head coach Pat Henry said. “Words cannot describe the loss Aggie’s athletics family is feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.”
Hart competed for Texas A&M from 2013-15 and left his mark on the legendary program. He ended his aggie career as a 10-time All-American, including winning gold as a member of the 4x400m relay at the 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships.
In addition, he was a member of four relay teams that won the SEC championship. He won an individual gold in the 100m (10.12) at the 2015 SEC Outdoor Championships. His name is on the Texas A&M All-Time Top 12 Record List eight times in six different events.
Hart helped lead Texas A&M to third place in the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Hart, who is from the Bahamas, competed in the 100m and 200m at the 2016 Olympics. He won silver in the 4x400m relay at the 2016 World Indoor Championships.
