LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Texas A&M women successfully defended their Big 12 Indoor Championships with another commanding sprint performance on the second day of the conference meet in the Bob Devaney Sports Center on the University of Nebraska campus.

With school record efforts from Porscha Lucas and Simone Facey, the Aggies racked up plenty of points to overcome the lead Nebraska established during day one action.

After Lucas won the 200 with a world-leading time of 22.86 seconds and Jessica Beard claimed the 400 in 52.61, they teamed up on the 1600 relay (3:36.45) for another victory. Texas ran a 3:36.60 to take second.

The result was a tally of 119.25 points to win the program's third conference title after taking both the indoor and outdoor Big 12 crowns in 2007.

Nebraska scored 95 points to take second, followed by Kansas (93), Texas (79) and Texas Tech (70.5).

Runner-up performances for the Aggie women on day two included Jennifer Williams in the 60 hurdles (8.31), Simone Facey in the 60 (7.23 school record) and 200 (22.96), and Ashika Charan in the triple jump (43-0.25).

On the men's side, the A&M squad pieced together solid performances and came away with 76 points to place fourth in team scoring. Highlighting the strong effort was freshman Julian Reid, who earned a share of the Big 12 Men's High Point Scorer of the meet with Missouri's Nate Englin.

Reid won the long jump on Day 1 and led an Aggie trio in the triple jump on Day 2. Reid placed fourth with a mark of 51 feet, 6.5 inches to finish ahead of teammates Zuheir Sharif (5th) and Tyron Stewart (6th).

Texas won the league title with 106 points to hold off Nebraska (104). Texas Tech (93) finished third while Missouri (67) rounded out the top five.

Runner-up performances on the men's side include Gerald Phiri in the 60 (6.65) and Justin Oliver in the 400 (47.33).

The 1600 relay team capped the evening with a second-place finish behind Baylor. The quartet of Oliver, Chris Dykes, Nick Robinson and A.C. Robinson ran 3:08.34.
