UNL junior Larry Gerard won the
aH-tround but Husker gymnasts lost their
opening meet to Iowa State University
OSU) 2105 to 210.15 Saturday night.
A crowd of 717 at the new UNL Sports
Complex watched UNL take the lead after
the firsi event, floor exercise. But the
Hoskcrs fell behind during the next three
events, although a strong finish on the
parallel bars and high bar left coach Francis
Allen's crew just short of victory.
The Huskers' biggest downfall was the
failure of their first performers in each of
the events to score high enough to take
the pressure off later performers, Allen
said.
We had three freshmen (Jody Raymond,
Mark YfiKiams and Kevin Dunkley)
competing in their first college meet ever,"
he said. "As soon as we get some miles on
these guys, experience won't matter."
Raymond, competing in the all-around,
was scratch in the floor exercise and vault
ing because of an ankle injury.
"It's nothing serious," Allen said. "We
just didnt want to aggravate it and possi
bly loss him, so we scratched him in the
events that would put the most strain on
the ankle."
Overall, Allen said he was pleased with
performances of his freshmen.
Allen said he was disapointed with the
Huskers' performance on the pomritsl
horse, noting it is hard to replace a person
like Steve Dickey, who was graduated and
was among the best in the country last
year.
"Day in and day out Steve was a good
performer," Allen said. "We were terrible
in the horse, (against ISU) but we should
be better in the future."
Gary Juerink performed well for the
Huskers, according to Allen. Competing in
four events, the senior had no scores lower
than 85 and had a high of 93 in the high
bar. .
Gerard survived a poor pommel horse
routine, falling off the horse and finishing
with a 7.45 score, to win the all-around
with 53.25 points for the six events.
He edged ISU's Tiger Taylor, who com
piled 52.40 points for second, and team
mate Duane West, who was third with a
5130 score.
Gerard wll be absent for the Huskers
next meet, the Big 8 Conference Invita
tional in Lincoln Nov. 5 and 6.
"Larry's going to China for some
meets," Allen said. "Hell be gone two
weeks. He was supposed to leave today but
I couldnt let him miss both home meets
because the people love to watch him."
Besides winning the all-around Gerard
also won the parallel bars and highbar.
West won the floor exercise and ftke Cos
grove tied with ISUs Lynn Norman for
top spot on the horse. Also, UNLs Richard
Brindisi tied ISU's Mark Trippel for first
in vaulting.
