The NU women placed 20th with 11 points at the NCAA Indoor Championships, producing two First-Team All-Americans as well as six total All-Americans.
Nebraska continued the success during the outdoor season with the women claiming fourth at the Big Ten championships and the men earning fifth. The women, powered by top-eight finishes from Maddie Harris and Jenna Rogers in their respective events, tied for 26th at the NCAA Championships. The men tied for 35th in the team standings, led by Keyshawn Strachan and Arthur Petersen finishing fifth and seventh, respectively and Tyus Wilson securing sixth. The men and women combined for 13 All-America honors throughout the outdoor season.
