With the 2010 indoor season ending two weeks ago at the NCAA Indoor Championships, the Huskers are still making the transition to the outdoor season. Last weekend the Husker hurdlers traveled to the Baldy Castillo Invitational in Tempe, Ariz., and next weekend the entire NU track and field team will head southwest to Tucson, Ariz., for the Jim Click Shootout.
