The Nebraska track and field team begins its 2015 season with the annual Nebraska Intrasquad meet on Saturday, Dec. 13 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Indoor Track at 2 p.m. Fans are invited and will enjoy free admission to watch the Huskers compete for the first time this year.
For youth (grades 8th and under), there will be a chance to show off their speed in the Little Huskers youth 60 and 100-meter dashes. Prior to the meet, there will be pizza and water for the first 150 youth participants.
Please pre-register your son or daughter for the youth races by sending your child’s name, age, elementary school and the race(s) he or she would like to run to hwetherbee@huskers.com. You may sign up at the event, but we strongly encourage your early registration to ensure your child’s participation. If you have any questions, please contact Heidi Wetherbee at (402) 472-4215 or hwetherbee@huskers.com.
The Huskers have compiled a successful history, including 78 individual NCAA Champions and 620 All-Americans.
The Nebraska men's 4x400 relay team earned All-America honors in both the indoor and outdoor seasons last year. Levi Gipson, Cody Rush and Drew Wiseman were members of both relay teams, while Ricco Hall ran on the indoor relay, and Jake Bender competed with the outdoor relay.
On the women's side, returning 2014 All-Americans include Ellie Ewere (fifth, outdoor triple jump) and Jazmin McCoy (sixth, outdoor long jump). The men's and women's teams both finished in the top three at both the Big Ten Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
