Nebraska track and field's Alex Talley and Axelina Johansson were named Big Ten Men's Field Athlete of the Week and Women's Field Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced Wednesday.
"Alex and Axelina really had a tremendous start to their Husker careers with their strong performances last weekend," said associate head coach Justin St. Clair. "It was great to see them come right out of the gate and start the season by setting a high standard and getting the recognition from the conference is a great honor and accomplishment. We look forward to building off this momentum as we continue into our indoor season.
