By Kevin Schnepf
Sports tdKor
The crowd of 2,387 witnessing the circus-like atmos
phere of the fourth annual Husker Invitational track meet
did not voice their interest until two UNL high jumpers
broke the school record.
Dean Herzog and Doug Phelps, both 7-feet
high jumpers in high school, cleared the 7-foot mark
for the first time" at UNL.
Herzog was the first to clear 7-feet, skimming the bar,
leaving it wiggling on its support. The applause erupted
after Herzog broke the UNL record of 6 feet 1 1 inches.
Five minutes later, Phelps, Nebraska's first t-foot
prep high jumper at Hastings, cleared the mark bringing
another roar from the crowd.
Although both Huskers broke the school record,
Iowa University's Bill Hansen won the event with 7
feet 1-inch leap. Herzog placed second and Phelps tied
for third place with Iowa State University's Tom Kieffer.
UNL field event coach John Korky said that the high
jumping was excellent.
"Both of those guys deserved what they got today,"
Korky said."They have both worked very hard and it's
very gratifying to see that hard work pay off."
About 45 minutes later the crowd was brought to its
feet again.
UNL's two-mile relay team, Ron Fischer, Mark Fluitt,
Paul McClain, and Scott Poehling, also won and qualified
for nationals. The relay team ended with a 7:31.5 time,
beating the national standard of 7:33.0
UNL'i national champion Jeff Lee clocked a time of
7.2 seconds in the 60-yard high hurdles, winning the
event. McKenzie also placed first with a 31.2 time in the
300-yard dash.
Overall, 11 Husker Invitational records and four Sports
Complex records were broken.
Poehling, who ran on the mile relay team that quali
fied for nationals, said they were running for time, since
no team scores were kept .
MI didn't really know what the competition was going
to be like, the 5-foot-l 0-inch, 176 pound sophomore said.
"We were more or less running for time. The watch was
something to shoot for, too."
The Husker's distance medley team failed to qualify for
nationals finishing fourth with a 9:58.7 time. The qualify
ing time is 9:53.0.
Big Eight schools Missouri and Iowa State were present
Saturday to show UNL their talent for the Big Eight
meet at the Sports Complex, Feb. 24-25.
"Iowa State looked really good," Poehling said. "I
think this is going to be the closest Big Eight meet in
history. Iul come down
Iowa State or Missouri."
