Sam Abati signed an NLI in November with The University of Texas thus achieving his long-term goal of becoming a Division I student-athlete! Next year, Sam will compete in Track & Field with the Longhorns as they debut in the SEC.
Abati is a 4-year Varsity Letterman for the Rattlers and owns the last four Pole Vault records in the Reagan books (15’7.25″, 16′, 16’4.75″ and 17’1″). Abati has enjoyed the upward trajectory of the Reagan Boys’ Track & Field program under the leadership of Coach Remmers. Both Sam and the team celebrated District, Area and Regional championships last spring and Sam was the 6A State runner-up in Pole Vault. He currently has the highest outdoor performance of the 2024 high school season in the nation as reported by MileSplit USA.
Abati also trains year-round and competes with Lonestar Pole Vault. Athletic.net listed his runner-up 17′ indoor performance at UCS Spirit National Pole Vault Summit 2024 as top five in the nation. Congratulations Sam!
Strike ’em and Texas Fight!
