AMES, Iowa – The No. 4/12 Texas Track and Field program put in a strong shift on Friday during the first day of the 2020 Big 12 Indoor Championship, winning one individual conference title, one relay crown and qualifying 22 competitors (9 men/13 women) for Saturday's finals.
Senior O'Brien Wasome claimed the Longhorns' individual Big 12 title on Friday, as he won the men's long jump in dramatic fashion. Wasome, known best for his expertise in the triple jump, found himself sitting in third place entering the final round and needing to post a personal-best mark to win his first Big 12 indoor long jump title.
