MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota women's track & field team is in Geneva, Ohio, this weekend for the 2024 Big Ten Indoor Championships, held at the SPIRE Institute from Feb. 23-24.
ABOUT THE 2024 BIG TEN INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2024 Big Ten Indoor Track & Field Championships will be spread out over two days with both days being streamed on B1G+ with field events and track events both having their own dedicated stream.

The meet will conclude with the 4x400m relays on Saturday at 3:55 p.m. Live results will be available throughout the event via PT Timing.
LAST TIME OUT
The Minnesota Golden Gophers saw Annie Nabwe make a big splash in the women's weight throw to end the 2024 indoor regular season at the Snowshoe Open at the University Fieldhouse in Minneapolis, Minn., on Friday. Nabwe's weight throw performance was filled with three personal bests with the redshirt freshman's 23.02m (75-6 1/4) coming on her fourth attempt of the competition. Nabwe entered the meet with a lifetime best of 21.94m (71-11 3/4) and eclipsed that on her first attempt (22.01m | 72-2 1/2) and her second attempt (73-1 1/4) before her lifetime best, and winning mark, on the fourth attempt.
Additionally, the 'U' had a stellar day in the field with Nyalaam Jok, Lexy Berger and Autumn Glover all picking up victories. Nyalaam Jok cleared 1.78m (5-10) in the high jump while Berger posted a season-best vault of 4.17m (13-8 1/4) to win the pole vault. Berger edged out true freshman teammate Sofia Condon who posted a lifetime best mark of 4.02m (13-2 1/4). Glover was victorious in the long jump with a leap of 5.44m (17-10 1/4).
NABWE SETS NCAA RECORD
Last weekend at the Snowshoe Open redshirt freshman Annie Nabwe broke an NCAA freshman record in the weight throw with her winning toss of 23.02m (75-6 1/4). Nabwe's throw earned the Jamestown, N.D., native the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week honors for the first time in her career.
With Nabwe's honor, the Golden Gophers became the only Big Ten team this season with three different weekly honorees (Shelby Frank, Brooke Jaworski and Annie Nabwe).
IN THE RANKINGS
Minnesota currently stands at the No. 23 spot overall in the nation in the latest USTFCCCA women's rankings. The latest Event Squad rankings also dropped this week with the women's weight throw the top group at No. 3 overall with an average throw of 21.16m (69-5 1/4). Minnesota's 60m hurdles crew was the second highest at 13th while the high jump, pentathlon, 400m and 5000m groups all sit inside the top 20.
MINNESOTA AT THE BIG TEN INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Maroon and Gold have won six Big Ten indoor titles in program history with the last coming in 2022, in Geneva, Ohio. All six of Minnesota's indoor titles have come under the guidance of head coach Matt Bingle, with his first coming back in 2007, his first year as at the helm of the indoor track and field program.
Minnesota has won four 'Athlete of the Championships' awards with Amira Young being the only two-time winner while Shelby Frank (2023) and Heather Dorniden (2009) also receiving the honor for the Gophers.

Graduate student Amira Young and junior Shelby Frank were named the Big Ten Athlete of the Championships after Amira Young swept the 60m and 200m titles while Frank claimed her first Big Ten title in the weight throw with a toss of 24.14m. For Amira Young, the 60m winning time of 7.18 went down as a championship and conference record in the event.
