ISU choice in Big 8 gymnastics meet
Cornhuskers tackle unfavorable odds
by RANDY YORK
Mebraskan Sports Editor
Nebraska's gymnasts will tackle three of
the country's ten best teams this weekend
in the Big Eight Conference championships
at Kansas State in Manhattan.
THE CORNIIUSKERS will try to avoid a
cellar finish as they currently stand last
among the six league entries, according to
performance charts released by the Big 8
office in Kansas City.
The league champion, which likely will
be Iowa State, qualifies as the Big 8 represen
tative for the upcoming NCAA championships.
The Cyclones rate as the country's best
team with its 162-point average. Kansas
(156.60) and host Kansas State (155.0) are
expected to provide ISU's biggest challenges.
Oklahoma, with its 151.95 mark, may
surprise while Colorado (138.55) and Nebraska
(137.00) are not expected to finish high.
IOWA STATE is the defending champion
and is aiming at its fifth league crown in
the last six years.
The Cyclones own five of the seven in
dividual top spots in the conference Rick
Simmons in the floor exercise. Dave Butzman
in the parallel bars, Russ Hoffman in the
side horse, Brent Simmons in the all-around
and Mason Buck in the long horse.
Kansas' Kirk Gardner in the still rings
and Gerald Carley in the high bar are the
other individual leaders.
HOPPY BATTEN is the only Cornhusker
among the conference leaders, and he ranks
only seventh in the high bar and ninth in
the all-around events.
Otherwise, Nebraska coach Francis Allen's
crew is unable to place among the league's
top ten.
