Dallas, Texas – Nebraska sophomore Gable Baldwin was named the Big 12 Conference Men’s Track and Field Athlete of the Week Tuesday for his efforts during last weekend’s Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Baldwin won his first Drake Relays pole vault title with a career-best vault of 18-2 1/2.

The Grand Island, Neb., native tied teammate Ray Scotten for the NCAA’s top 2005 outdoor performance with the clearance, which was more than a foot better than Baldwin's previous outdoor best (17-0 1/2). The Huskers’ marks currently lead the nation by two inches over the nearest competitor, while their lead in the Big 12 is six inches.

Marshevet Hooker from Texas won the women’s weekly award for winning the women’s 100-meter dash competition at last weekend’s Penn Relays.

The Nebraska men’s and women’s track teams host their only home meet of the outdoor season this Saturday at Ed Weir Stadium. The Nebraska Invitational begins at 2:30 p.m. with the men’s hammer throw and long jump, as well as the women’s pole vault and javelin, while action on the track starts at 4 p.m. with the women’s 4x100-meter relay.
