High-spin states in the odd-odd nucleus $^{168}$Ta have been populated in the$^{120}$Sn($^{51}$V,3n) reaction. Two multi-quasiparticle structures have beenextended significantly from spin $\sim{20\hbar}$ to above ${40\hbar}$. As aresult, the first rotational alignment has been fully delineated and a secondband crossing has been observed for the first time in this nucleus.Configurations for these strongly-coupled rotational bands are proposed basedon signature splitting, $B(M1)/B(E2)$ ratio information, and observedrotation-alignment behavior. Properties of the observed bands in $^{168}$Ta arecompared to related structures in the neighboring odd-$Z$, odd-$N$, and odd-oddnuclei and are discussed within the framework of the cranked shell model.
