At Blinn College, Henry earned National JUCO Indoor and Outdoor Coach of the Year honors in 1986 and 1987. He won the He also swept the 1987 NJCAA men&#8217;s indoor and outdoor national championships. Henry established himself as a winner before ever touching the NCAA.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s part of the reason why Henry could jump straight from the JUCO level in 1987 to the SEC in 1988, taking over an LSU Tigers program that just swept the DI women&#8217;s indoor and outdoor national titles a year prior.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with a dynasty<\/p>\n<p>Henry didn&#8217;t miss a beat once taking over the helm in Baton Rouge. He led the LSU women to the 1988 outdoor national championship in his first year as a head coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was the first of many for Henry as he would lead the Tigers to 11 straight women&#8217;s outdoor titles from 1987-97,\u00a0the longest streak in the history of NCAA Division I women\u2019s athletics.<\/p>\n<p>During that same stretch, Henry would win seven indoor women&#8217;s titles, including five straight from 1993-97.<\/p>\n<p>\tNCAA track and field championship streaks of five or more years<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tLength of Streak<br \/>\n\t\t\tSchool<br \/>\n\t\t\tYears of Streak<br \/>\n\t\t\tType of Title<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t12 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tArkansas<br \/>\n\t\t\t1984-95<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s indoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t11 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tLSU<br \/>\n\t\t\t1987-97<br \/>\n\t\t\tWomen&#8217;s outdoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t9 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tSouthern California<br \/>\n\t\t\t1935-43<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s outdoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t8 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tArkansas<br \/>\n\t\t\t1992-99<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s outdoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t7 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tSouthern California<br \/>\n\t\t\t1949-55<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s outdoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t5 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tOregon<br \/>\n\t\t\t2010-14<br \/>\n\t\t\tWomen&#8217;s indoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t5 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tLSU<br \/>\n\t\t\t1993-97<br \/>\n\t\t\tWomen&#8217;s indoor<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t5 years<br \/>\n\t\t\tUTEP<br \/>\n\t\t\t1978-82<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s outdoor<\/p>\n<p>The 1989 season might be even more impressive than the championship streaks. In only his second year as LSU&#8217;s head coach, Pat Henry led to Tigers to win 3-of-4 NCAA track and field titles, only missing out on the 1989 men&#8217;s indoor championship crown. That&#8217;s a feat that wasn&#8217;t matched for 25 years and has only been done four times in the history of NCAA track and field.<\/p>\n<p>\tSchools to win three track titles in one year<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tYear<br \/>\n\t\t\tSchool<br \/>\n\t\t\tTItle Missed<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t1989<br \/>\n\t\t\tLSU<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s indoor title<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2014<br \/>\n\t\t\tOregon<br \/>\n\t\t\tWomen&#8217;s outdoor title<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2015<br \/>\n\t\t\tOregon<br \/>\n\t\t\tWomen&#8217;s indoor title<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2022<br \/>\n\t\t\tFlorida<br \/>\n\t\t\tMen&#8217;s indoor title<\/p>\n<p>LSU transformed into a powerhouse program under Pat Henry.

The latter outdoor title gave him his eighth single-season women&#8217;s championship sweep across the indoor and outdoor seasons, as 2003 joined 1989, 1991 and 1993-97.<\/p>\n<p>While at LSU, Henry only had three seasons without a title: 1998 and 1999. In 2001 he won his first men&#8217;s indoor title. He had a women&#8217;s three-peat indoors from 2002-2004, giving him an 18-year reign of dominance in Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n<p>In his final season with the Tigers, Henry became the first coach to lead a school to a sweep of the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s indoor track and field titles as 2004 LSU hoisted both trophies.<\/p>\n<p>\tTeams to sweep men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s indoor titles<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tYear<br \/>\n\t\t\tTeam<br \/>\n\t\t\tCoach<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2023<br \/>\n\t\t\tArkansas<br \/>\n\t\t\tChris Bucknam (men)<br \/>Lance Harter (women)<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2016<br \/>\n\t\t\tOregon<br \/>\n\t\t\tRobert Johnson<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2014<br \/>\n\t\t\tOregon<br \/>\n\t\t\tRobert Johnson<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2008<br \/>\n\t\t\tArizona State<br \/>\n\t\t\tGreg Kraft<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t2004<br \/>\n\t\t\tLSU<br \/>\n\t\t\tPat Henry<\/p>\n<p>A multi-generation winner<\/p>\n<p>Pat Henry&#8217;s coaching career spanned multiple generations where he competed against all-time coaching legends across eras.<\/p>\n<p>Henry went head-to-head with the John McDonnell dynasties at Arkansas during the 1990s and early 2000s, kicking off the decade with a men&#8217;s outdoor win over the Razorbacks in 1990 as LSU went back-to-back.<\/p>\n<p>He added another title in 2002 amidst Arkansas&#8217; reign as LSU won the men&#8217;s outdoor title on its home track.

Henry needed just one full recruiting class to develop before finding success with the Aggies, breaking through as a national champion in his fourth year in College Station.<\/p>\n<p>That would kickoff a run\u00a0at a historic level never seen in NCAA outdoor track and field history. Henry led Texas A&amp;M to an outdoor three-peat from 2009-11, not just on the men&#8217;s side, but also on the women&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>No program has ever dominated the outdoor seasons like Pat Henry-led teams in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
