UNL'f gymnastics tern continues to face one draw
back as they prepare for their Oct. 23 taasca opener
against Iowa State University, perennial 1 8 Conference
and national power. .
Eat the drawback-a lack of a' good hih school
gymnastics program in the state, according to head coach
Francis Alen-has net stopped Nebraska from becoming
a national power itself.
The team, composed primarily of Nebraska natives,
finished fifth and fourth in the last two national meets.
There was only ore non-Nebraskan on the squad last year.
"We've been lucky that the Nebraska boys that we've
gotten have developed into good gymnasts," Allen said.
However, this season the lluskers recruited only one
in-state gymnast, Kevin Dunkley from Oman Vestside.
"There was no one in Nebraska that graduated last
year who showed he had college potential except for
Dunkley Allen said. "We're working him hard on the
rings right now.
With UNL's recent success, out-of-state recruiting has
increased. Three of the squad's gymnasts this year are
from other states. .
However, AHra said1 he will not shun a Nebraska high
schooler who shows promise.
"If an out-of-state prospect and an in-state product
show similar potential, well take the in-stater," Allen

saiJ. If the out-of-state prospect is better than the in
state one, but the in-state product has a chance to be just
as good or better than ths other gay in a year, well
take the in-stater.
New UNL gymnastics distant coach Jcha Racier
left LfcccLi Southeast to work with ATea thii year.
"John was upset with the gymnastics situation in the
hl-h schools, -so he's working with rne and the Nebraska
School of Gymnastics,' ASen said. "He's been a type cf .
assistant for me ever since lie was graduated from
corpse.
Cbcker has been reunited with one of his star pupils,
Larry Gerard.
Gerard, a junior, is a graduate of Lincoln Southeast
and has been instrumental in leading Nebraska gymnastics
to national prominence.
T knew if I came to Nebraska I could help them
become a national power, Gerard said. The teani lacked
depth and I helped till a spot when I came here."
Gerard also almost fi2ed a spot on the 1976 US.
Olympic team. He failed to make the team when he
missed on a high bar routine in the semi-finals of the
Olympic trials.
"I was disappointed in not making the team," Gerard
said. "I was third in the nation in high bar last year.
"I have hopes that we can win the national title, and
I also hope that I can win a title myself."
