The Minnesota Gophers women’s indoor track and field team clinched their second consecutive Big Ten Championship on Saturday at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio. Minnesota needed to win the final event of the competition, the 4x400 relay to win the team title, and they did as Abigail Schaffe held off runners from Ohio State and Iowa to earn the title.
The Gophers had ground to make up after Day 1 of the two day Championships. They got their first individual title of the event when distance runner extraordinaire Bethany Hasz won the 3,000 meters for the second consecutive year.
