Women's Track Wins Big 12 Outdoor Championship

LINCOLN, Neb.- Scoring 129 points on the final day of the Big 12 Track & Field Championships enabled the Texas A&M women to claim a first-ever outdoor conference title to go along with its initial league championships indoors earlier this season.

Finishing with a total of 140 points the Aggies overtook host Nebraska at Ed Weir Stadium on a very windy afternoon. The Cornhuskers, who held a 63-point lead after two days, were second in team scoring with 117 points. Defending champion Texas placed third with 89 points.

“Overall, I was extremely pleased with the effort we had on the women’s side,” Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry said. “On the men’s side we had some good efforts as well, but just not enough efforts.

“For the ladies we can say we’re getting it together and we are the Big 12 Champions. That’s never been done before by the women’s program. We’re extremely pleased. We had some great up-front efforts today, but we also had a lot of efforts that help you win the championships. We had a lot of people step up and a lot of good things happened.”

On the men’s side A&M scored 50 points to place ninth. Oklahoma earned the team title with 110.5 points ahead of Texas Tech (100) and Texas (96).
