Men's 4x400-Meter Relay
Nebraska’s young 4x400-meter relay provided the team with an addition point to push it into a tie for 25th place in the final team standings. Senior Nate Probasco and freshmen Scott Wims, Daniel Christensen and Lukas Hulett each garnered All-America honors after clocking in with a time of 3:08.68 to place second in their heat, as well as eighth overall. The foresome became the first Husker men’s relay to earn an NCAA placing since the team won the 1996 national title in the distance medley relay. The last NU 4x400 to place was in 1994.
Men's 200-Meter Dash Prelims
Neither senior Nate Probasco nor freshman Scott Wims advanced to the finals of the men's 200-meter dash. Probasco was only two spots short after clocking the 10th-best time of 21.02, which marked a season-best performance. Wims' time of 21.37 earned him 16th place.
Both Huskers will have one more opportunity to earn an NCAA scoring position, as they will join Hulett and redshirt freshman Daniel Christensen Saturday for the 4x400-meter relay.
