    Top-ranked Oregon won its first Division I Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships team title Saturday, outpointing defending champion Tennessee, 61-36.

    The meet at Arkansas produced an American indoor record in the 400-meter dash, as Hampton's Francena McCorory shaved one-tenth of a second off Diane Dixon's 19-year-old record. McCorory's time of 50.54 seconds also beat the championship record of 50.80 set three years ago by South Carolina's Natasha Hastings. [More]
