ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The fifth-ranked Texas women came into the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships with the top-ranked 4x400-meter relay unit in the nation. It was probably going to take a tremendous performance to beat the Longhorns in that event and that's exactly what happened.

In one of the most exciting finishes in Division I track and field history, the second-ranked Oregon women set an NCAA record in the 4x400-meter, clocking a time of 3 minutes, 27.40 seconds, to edge not only the Longhorns 4x400 unit of Briana Nelson, Courtney Okolo, Kendall Baisden and Ashley Spencer (which also snapped the collegiate mark with a time of 3:27.42), but also Texas in the team standings.
