" Nebraska track and field team collected three more Big Ten titles on the final day of the Big Ten Outdoor Championships to give them a total of six for the weekend.
Maxwell Otterdahl, already crowned the shot put champion on Saturday, made it a double on Sunday by winning the discus title. The first-year Husker thrower set a new personal best of 190-11 (58.19m) to claim top honors.
Mayson Conner, the Big Ten indoor high jump champion, came up clutch on his final attempt at 7-2 1/2 (2.20m). Needing a clearance to avoid a runner-up finish, Conner hit his mark, and it was enough to give the McCool Junction native a fourth career Big Ten gold medal. With
Jenna Rogers also winning the indoor and outdoor high jump double, the Nebraska track and field program claimed all four Big Ten high jump gold medals in 2022.

"Otterdahl won the men's shot put title with a mark of 64-8 (19.71m) on his fifth attempt. His mark tied with Ohio State's Hayden Tobias for the best throw, but Otterdahl claimed the gold medal by having the better second throw between the two (63-6, 19.35m). It's the first career conference title for the sophomore.
Burger Lambrechts Jr., the Big Ten indoor shot put champion, finished third with a throw of 63-11 (19.48m) to collect the bronze medal. It was the fifth career Big Ten medal for Lambrechts Jr.
Kevin Shubert placed sixth in the event at 61-9 (18.82m), a new personal best.
Rogers won the women's high jump gold medal, giving her both the Big Ten indoor and outdoor crowns. She became the first Husker woman to sweep conference indoor and outdoor high jump titles since Na'Tassia Vice did so in the Big 12 in 2004. Rogers was the only high jumper to clear 5-11 1/2 (1.82m)."
"Three other Huskers scored team points for the NU women in the event.
Riley Masten (5-9 1/4, 1.76m) and
Madison Yerigan (5-9 1/4, 1.76m) tied for fifth place.
Brooklyn Miller cleared the same height but on her second attempt and placed seventh, giving the Husker women 19 points in the competition.
LaQwasia Stepeney picked up her first career Big Ten medal, finishing second in the long jump with a mark of 20-4 1/2 (6.21m). Stepney's jump was just half of an inch shy of the winner, Ohio State's Alexus Pyles.
Micaylon Moore picked up the bronze medal in the men's long jump with a new personal best of 25-0 3/4 (7.64m). In his fourth career Big Ten conference meet, Moore medaled for the first time and picked up six team points for the men.
