Iowa kicks off the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships today in Bloomington, Indiana, looking for the first team title by either the men’s or women’s squads since 2011.
Fun fact: Until the Hawkeye baseball team’s Big Ten Tournament championship last season, the men’s track team title in ‘11 was the last time the school won any sort of conference title.
Anyways.
The Iowa track team comes into the Big Ten meet with 37 athletes and relays ranked in the top-10 of the conference, including eight at the No. 1 spot. Only two teams have more athletes in the top-10 than Iowa — Nebraska and Minnesota.
