Tarleton State University Athletics

McNamara is one of the top student-athletes from Texan Track and Field’s all-time history. McNamara competed in Stephenville from 1975-78, cementing his Tarleton career by making the finals in the NAIA Nationals Decathlon. He also ran in the NAIA National Track and Field Meet in Mile Relays three separate times, in 1975, 1976 and 1977. The Plano, Texas, native, was named Tarleton's most valuable in field events by head coach Joe Gillespie in 1978 as he helped the Texans become TIAA champions in both 1977 and 1978.
