looks for grand finale
By Steve Taylor
When Roger Chadwick was a sophomore in high school, his
sport was wrestling. His 6 ft., 127 lbs. frame didn't intimidate
many opponents. Now, an inch taller and 30 pounds heavier,
track star Chadwick is giving Big 8 rivals plenty of reasons to
panic.
So far this season, he has not lost any event, including relays.
The middle distance runner was a late bloomer, which was one of
the reasons UN L was lucky enough to get him.
"Basically, I didn't have many other places to go," says the
Hudson Falls, N.Y., native. "I was worthless for three years in
high school and really didn't develop until my senior year."
Chadwick is in his last year of competition at UNL and would
like to end his career with a bang. Sis would like to start the
fireworks Friday and Saturday at the Big 8 indoor meet in Kansas
City, whre the Kuskers will seek their third straight title.
He " said the key to the Husker's chances will be the
performance of the sprinters and the field events participants.
Concerning the national track meet in two weeks, Chadwick
offers a few observations.
"Believe it or not, we have a chance to win it," he says. "We
wouldn't go if we didn't think we had a chance. You don't like to
go somewhere and make a fool of yourself."
Chadwick admits the scholastic casualties that eliminated
seven trackmen have injured UNL's chances this year. But he said
he can understand how an athlete could not meet the grade
requirement.
"You don't have enought time for classes sometimes. It is
demoralizing to coma to class knowing you are not prepared."
Chadwick says the courses he's taking now are particularly
time consuming, and he said he tries never to forget he is a
"student athlete." '
Chadwick is insistent that track could support itself financially
if given the chance. He says Oregon's successful track program
supports its football team.

in an international event, fewer boast
possessing world records. But UNL has
one such individual, freshman swimmer
Jack Alexander.
The 18-year-old from Wayzata, Minn.,
competed for Canada last September at
the World Modern Pentathlon
Championships in London, England.
Alexander holds the combined world
record in running and swimming. In a
dual meet this summer between the U.S.
and Canada, he was sixth overall with
more than 4,500 points out of a possible
5,000. Ke finished only 70 points below
the top spot.
The modern pentathlon consists of
equestrian events, pistol shooting,
fencing, a 4,000-meter cross country run
and a 300-nuter freestyle swim,

This year Alexander has established a
new Coliseum pool record for the
1,000-yard freestyle with a 10:22.0, and
set both a new varsity and Coliseum
record with a 4:50.4 clocking in the
500-ysrd freestyle.
"Certainly Alexander has fcsen one of
the bright spots for us this season. He has

Alexander eyes the conference
