Track team wins at Clemson By Josh Camenzind Staff writer The Nebraska track and field team traveled to Clemson on Saturday with high hopes and returned with top hon ors on the men’s side and a runner-up for the women. The men edged Clemson for first by attaining three provisional qualify ing marks. Shane Lavy jumped 7 feet 3% inches to win the high jump, Joe Erdkamp finished second in the discus with a toss of 184-7, and Cory Lehman qualified for the second week in a row with a throw of 227-11 in the javelin for first-place honors. Other Cornhusker notables include Sheldon Hutchinson, who jumped 15-1 to win the triple jump, Tony Smith, who won the 5,000 meters with a time of 15 minutes, 26.95 seconds, Jim Vance, winner of the 3,000 meter steeplechase in a time of 9:28.92, and pole vaulter Scott Nachtigal, who notched first with a vault of 16-103/^ The Husker women finished sec ond to South Carolina as they gained one automatic NCAA qualification mark as well as a provisional mark. The automatic mark was met by sophomore Melissa Price, who won the hammer with a throw of 195-10. Not only was Price’s throw a personal best, but it also ranked her second on the school history list. Kim Stewart vaulted 12-114 to earn first place and a provisional mark. The high jump event saw the Husker women sweep the first three positions. Jessica Thompson cleared the bar at 5 914 to finish first, Carrie Braness jumped the same height to finish run ner-up, and third went to Marijana Buljovcic with a jump of 5-714. Dalhia Ingram continued her dom inance in the long jump with a first place finish on a jump of 20-1. Angie Prebyl won the triple jump with a jump of 39-5, and Stella Klassen took first in the 800 meters with a time of 2:08.26. Five members scored for the team on Thursday afternoon at the Emporia State Relays in Emporia, Kan. Lyon Avila was the top finisher for the team with a second-place finish in the pole vault after vaulting 15-1. The team will be in action again next weekend in El Paso, Texas, for the Sierra-Providence Invitational. Young confident that kicker will emerge By Josh Camenzind Staff writer They can be found playing catch, sitting on their helmets, or joking under the stands when it is raining. They are the kickers, often dis counted, but asked to step up and get the job done when it needs to be. The Husker kicking game is looking to be in good hands with the departure of Kris Brown, who is the school’s all-time leading scorer. The job as Brown’s replacement is still up in the air, as is the job of punter, which was vacated by the graduation of Bill Lafleur. Josh Brown, Dan Hadenfeldt and Chace Long are all competing this spring for the spots. Kicking Coach Dan Young is very high on Brown, who is a redshirt fresh man. “When we offered him a scholar ship out of football camp, we felt at the time that he had a stronger leg than Kris Brown,” said Young. “Josh will be here for four years, and he will have every opportunity to break Kris Brown’s scor ing record if he does the job for us.” Brown did the job in the team’s first scrimmage as he averaged 44.7 yards a punt and made his two field goal tries of 23 and 40 yards. Young is also very high on Hadenfeldt and Long. “We are very inexperienced up to this point,, but we have some excellent talent and quality people. Dan is a seasoned guy that has been around for four years and is anx ious to prove himself. Chace is more of a place-kicker with a very strong leg.” Hadenfeldt averaged 36.6 yards per punt in the scrimmage Saturday, but hooked his 40-yard field goal attempt to the right. Long missed his only field goal attempt of the scrimmage. The workout for the three consists of 20 kicks and punts, which are charted for hang time and distance. So far, they are charting Up there with Brown and Lafleur from a year ago. Young said it was the goal of the team to make 75 percent of all field goals and so far they were charting at 85 to 90 percent in practice. Game situations also will be a tran sition point for whoever wins the job. Young said the first couple of games will contain some butterflies, but refers to three kickers as “seasoned athletes who can handle the pressure.” The pressure will not be as great because the team returns its snapper in Dominic Raiola and its holder in Eric Crouch. Jeff Perino has also been get ting work at holder because the team would not like its starting quarterback holding for field goals and extra points. NU is also implementing a new punt formation that is taking the players a little getting used to this spring. “We are going through some bugs as the players try to operate the way you want them to,” said Head Coach Frank Solich. “In the long run I believe it will pay off well for us as we work on it a lot this spring.” --- -- Baha’i Faith Awareness Week 699 April 5-7 Monday: Breaking the Barrier: Women & Men Tuesday: Race Unity: A Baha’f Perspective Wednesday: The Baha'f Faith: A New World Religion 8:00 pm UNL Culture Center sponsored by the UNL Baha Y Association [free FURRY TOY!) p n n A free limited edition Paul Mitchell Seabie™ with purchase of any two 16oz. size of: • Shampoo One® 4^ • The Detanglei® • Super Sculpt Styling Glaze® • Freeze & Shine Spray® PFIUL MITCHELL John Paul Mitchell System w* donate 10% of net profits to Sea Shepherd Conservation to protect our ocean animals.
