AUSTIN, Texas – To celebrate the men's and women's team championships at the Big 12 Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, the UT Tower will be lit in burnt orange this evening (March 18).

The Longhorns swept the men's and women's titles for the first time since 2006. The women edged out Kansas State by just 6.5 points with a total of 139 while the men dominated the meet with 140 points and a 45-point victory.

Per UT tradition, the UT Tower is bathed in burnt orange lighting from top-to-bottom when a University of Texas athletics team wins a conference championship.

After each team finished sixth at last weekend's NCAA Indoor Championships, the track and field team begins its outdoor campaign this weekend at the UTSA Invitational.
