The Big Ten Indoor Championships will feature a combined men's and women's meet for the first time in history this weekend, as the conference descends on Lincoln, Neb., where the Nebraska Cornhuskers will host their first Big Ten Championship in any sport. The meet kicks off the championship schedule for IU Track and Field. Big Ten Network will broadcast the meet via tape delay at Noon on Saturday, March 10.
The Indiana men are in pursuit of the first Big Ten Indoor title since 1992 and the 16th indoor title in school history. The Hoosiers finished second at the meet in 2011. Indiana comes into the meet with the second-highest national ranking amongst men's teams in the Big Ten at No. 11, but Minnesota is ranked highest at No. 8 and a total of five men's teams in the Big Ten are ranked among the nation's top 25.
The Indiana women will pursue the fourth Big Ten Indoor title in school history and the first since 2000. The Hoosiers took fifth at the meet in 2011.
