LAST YEAR AT THE HUSKER INVITATIONAL
Last season, Baylor did not compete at the Husker Invitational and instead used the off weekend to prepare for the Tyson Invitational. The Bears did travel their complete squad to Seattle, Wash. on Jan. 26-27 for the University of Washington Indoor Invitational. Baylor recorded eight total provisional marks, four each for the men's and women's team. The women's distance medley relay won by nearly 14 seconds to set a provisional qualifying time. Lyndsy Bedell set a provisional mark in the 5,000 meters, while Erin Bedell and Nichole Jones provisionally qualified in the 3,000 meters. The men's 4x400-meter relay won in convincing fashion for the third straight week, while LeJerald Betters, J.T. Scheuerman and Reggie Witherspoon each recorded provisional qualifying times in the 400 meters. The Lady Bears had seven sectional winners, while the Baylor women's 4x400-meter relay also took first place. The men's team had five additional section winners in its third consecutive week of competition.
