MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota track & field team is back in action competing at the Big Ten Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships this week.
About the 2021 Big Ten Indoor Championships
The 2021 Big Ten Indoor Track & Field Championships will be spread out over three days this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio. Each day is split into two sessions with men's competition in the morning and women's competition in the afternoon. Live results are available via Delta Timing, and live video is available online via BTN+ with championships coverage airing on the Big Ten Network at a later date. No fans will be permitted to attend the competition.
Last Time Out
The Gophers collected six event titles and recorded 10 all-time top-10 marks at the Hawkeye B1G Invitational. Bethany Hasz and Alec Basten swept the 3,000-meter titles to lead the Maroon & Gold. Ben Psicihulis won the 600 meters while Amira Young (60 meters), Erin Reidy (800 meters), and the 4x400-meter relay team of Jayla Campbell, Janielle Josephs, Val Larson, and Abigail Schaaffe joined Hasz in winning titles for the women.
2020 B1G Indoor Championships Rewind
A year ago, the Gophers earned a pair of top-three B1G team finishes as the Minnesota women finished as team runner-up and the Gopher men came in third overall at the 2020 Big Ten Indoor Track & Field Championships. The women recorded 99 points, trailing B1G champion Ohio State by just five points. On the men's side, Indiana took home the team title with 120.5 points, followed by runner-up Iowa (107 points) and Minnesota (88.5 points). In total, the Gophers finished the meet with eight All-Big Ten award recipients led by All-Big Ten First Team honoree and men's triple jump champion Sammie Houston.
2020-21 B1GXC Championships Rewind
Bethany Hasz won the 2020-21 Big Ten Women's Cross Country Championships individual crown to lead the Gopher women to a runner-up team finish at the B1G meet last weekend. Abby Kohut-Jackson joined B. Hasz in earning All-Big Ten accolades, landing on the All-B1GSecond Team with an eighth-place individual finish. The women's team scored 76 points behind B1G team champion Michigan State with 48 points. It marked the second time the Gopher women have finished as B1G runner-up in the past four seasons. On the men's side, the Gophers finished seventh in the team standings led by top-20 individual finishes from Alec Basten (17th) and Jordan MacIntosh (20th). In addition, Allison Gerads led the Gophers as pentathlon runner-up at the Illini B1G Multi-Meet on Saturday.
Weekly Awards
The Gophers have secured four weekly awards this season as Bethany Hasz and Alec Basten were honored for their performances at the season-opening Hawkeye Border Battle. Hasz was named both the USTFCCCA National Track Athlete of the Week and Big Ten Conference Track Athlete of the Week following her performance in the 3,000 meters while Basten was named B1G Co-Track Athlete of the Week after clocking a career-best 4:03.36 mile at the Hawkeye Border Battle to move into eighth in Gophers' history. Most recently, Amira Young was named B1G Co-Track Athlete of the Week after winning the 60m and the 200m at the Husker Quad and improving on her own Minnesota program record in the 200m.
Hasz Makes History
Bethany Hasz became just the second Gopher in program history to win a B1G women's cross country title, joining Eileen Donaghy, who won in 1987. B. Hasz's career-best time of 20:13.2 was the second fastest time ever by a Gopher at the Big Ten Championships, and her PR moved her up one place on Minnesota's all-time list where she now ranks third among all-time Gophers, behind only Stephanie Price (19:55.50) and Megan Duwell (20:06.90) for 6K.
