Indiana led from the gun to win its first women’s indoor dual meet championship. It is just the second such championship by a Big Ten women’s team (Minnesota turned the trick in ’17). Ron Helmer’s Hoosiers defeated #3 Tennessee a month ago for a big win. Three-time winner Texas A&M holds down the runner-up spot.
This is just a prelude to the big prize which is the season-long comprehensive indoor/outdoor duals championship. The first of those rankings will be released in late March.
