come in the first three places in
that order and the 120 yard high
hurdles produced Huskers in the

He won the distinct honor at that

Anyone that has a chance should
go out to the Nebraska courts

at the All-College Invitational meet

horizontal bar, seconds in the flying

also chosen by the Daily Nebras
kan sports staff as Star of the
Week because of that outstanding
showing and, his consistency throu
out the year.
Strickler started on his Gym
nastic road to fame as a junior
at Lincoln high. That year, he re
ceived the AU-Around Gymnasts
award in the Novice division of
the Nebraska High State meet. His
next year, 1953, again saw him
win the Ail-Around award, this
time in the optional division which
meant tht he was the top Gymnast
in the State.
He took his ability to the college
level and in his Sophomore year,
he piled, up 125 individual points
even though he had to play second
fiddle to all-time great, Tom Kidd.
Last year while performing be
hind Bruce Riley, he notched up
167 points. This was an incredible
record in total points with 396. A
good share of Riley's success has
to go the Wayne according to Coach
jake Geier. It was Wayne who
kept Riley on his toes in eveiy
meet beating him every time
he let up.
This was the year that Wayne
really came into his own and es
tablished himself among the best
of all time.
He entered a total of 60 events
winning 32 of them. He finished
second, 19 times, third, 6 times,
fourth times and seventh once.
His sc-venth came at the All-College
invitational in an event which
had 25 entrants. The seventh was
good for a first, second and a
fourth against the three teams NU
oualed against that day.

His total points for the year add
up to 315'2 and his three year
total to 608. No man other than
Riley ever totaled as many for
the Cornhuskers.
At one time or another, th
"Wee one" as he is called by hia
thing but tumbling. He entered, at
irast four events and most of tht
time five in every meet this year.
His specialties were the horizontal
bar which he won 12 out of 13
times, the parallel bars which he
won 10 times and the flying rings
vhich produced 8 victories.
He also performed well on th
side horse taking 9 seconds, all of
them coming behind teammate
Kenny Kohler, and four thirds. In
the free exercise, he managed 2
wins, 3 seconds, 1 third,2 fourths
and the seventh.
Wayne attributes a major sh.T
of his success to his coach, Jake
Ceier. He made Strickler- work
every day on the side horse and
finally molded Wayne into one
of the top men in the mid-west in
that event.
After Wayne picked, up his sec
ond placa medal for the sidehorse
at the All-College, he went over
to Jake and presented him with it
saying, "you earned this more than
I did."
Much of Wayne's skill can be
attributed to the respect he had for
his coach and, his teammates. At
their recent dinner, the team
awarded Wayne with outstanding
Gymnast of the year trophy.
Wayne has certainly- earned his
nomination for Nebraskan Athlete
of the year with his spirit and ability.
