TEMPE, Ariz. – The Nebraska men’s and women’s track and field teams swept the team titles at the Pac-12 vs. Big Ten Invitational late Saturday night at Arizona State’s Sun Angel Stadium.

The Husker men totaled 159.75 points, while the women collected 136.5 in the victory. The Huskers won 12 event titles on Saturday to go with two on Friday.
