AMES, Iowa – Powered by six individual victories, including wins by senior Marielle Hall in the mile and 3,000 meters on Saturday, the fifth-ranked Texas women's team cruised to the 2014 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field title.

The Longhorn women, who won five events Saturday, posted 147 points to outdistance second-place Baylor which collected 102 over the two-day meet held at Iowa State.

The 17th-ranked men had individual victories Saturday from sophomores Ryan Crouser (shot put) and Zack Bilderback (400 meters), freshman Senoj-Jay Givans (60 meters) and the 4x400-meter relay unit, but were unable to defend their team title, finishing with 108.50 points. Oklahoma State won the men's crown with 112.50. Texas Tech was third with 95 points.

The women's team, which was edged by Kansas 150.5 to 148 in the 2013 Big 12 Indoor meet, also collected individual titles Saturday in the 60 meters (Morolake Akinosun), 400 meters (Ashley Spencer) and high jump (Shanay Briscoe).

For the women, it was their sixth Big 12 Indoor title and first in eight years.

"The goal coming in was to win on both sides and to come away with the women's first indoor conference championship since 2006 was exciting," first-year head coach Mario Sategna said. "We had some phenomenal performances. We were happy with the individual conference champions we had, but also about the number of people we had reach the top eight to score."
