Thanks for all the work you do Alum-Ni! Quite the spring for track and field in Nebraska. Do you happen to know which year the most records were set? If not, I'll do some research when I get a chance.

Great question. It's hard to know because I don't know of any list anywhere that keeps a record progression.

With that said....I gotta think this year has to be at or near the top.

I would think so as well. This was a tremendous year for track and field in the state!
