Coach, gymnasts
By Ed McClymont
Randy Raymond became a part of Nebraska track
history last weekend, capping a series of changes that has
led the free-flowing sophomore into the top portion on
the all-time Nebraska pole vaulting chart .
Raymond cleared the height of 17-Vi in a dual against
Iowa State to become the first Nebraska vaulter to clear
17 feet.
"I still can't believe I went 17 feet," Raymond said.
"Although I think Coach Railsback (assistant track coach)
was more excited than I was when I made it."
The Fremont native credits Railsback with improving
his style, which enabled him to reach the record. -
"Coach Railsback has helped a lot on my technique,"
Raymond said. "He's helped on my plant and penetration
into th'e box. I hadn't even heard of penetration until he
(Coach Railsback) came this year."
Along with the new style came a change in practice
schedule, including a work out with the gymnasts.
"They (the gymnasts) helped us learn how to maneuver
our weight around in the air which helps with the tech
nique," Raymond said. "It breaks the monotony and its
kind of fun." , .......
Along with the gymnastics workout is the daily routine
of lifting weights. This leaves only two days of the week
to actually practice pole vaulting, a contrast to his high
schooldays.
"We use to practice vaulting every day in high school,"
Raymorfd said. "It was hard getting use to the new way of
doing things."
Raymond's previous outdoor best was achieved last
year at the El Paso Relays where he cleared 16 feet. He
thought he should have done better, and was self
admittedly miffed at the way things were progressing for
him. ' -
"I was frustrated with the bad weather we were
having," Raymond said; "And so much of the outdoor
season depends on the weather. I learned, a lot in that
year." "
Raymond's 17 foot fault qualifies him for the national
outdoor meet to be held at Champaign, 111. He also qualifi
ed for the indoor meet last winter in Detroit.
The chief competition in the Big Eight appears to be
Jeff Buckingham of Kansas. Buckingham, a freshman, has
cleared 17-654 for the Jayhawks this season, Despite the
half foot disadvantage, Raymond thinks he has a shot at
overtaking Buckingham. "

"Before he probably thought he had it (the Big Eight
crown) to himself," Raymond said. "With the Big Eight
at home this year I might have a shot at it. I'm in his range
now, and if I pop one I could take it."
Raymond hasn't even considered any goals for his per
formances, this year, choosing instead to let thingsride
and see what happens. ' J
"I don't see my goals this year, because I really didirt
know what to expect with a new coach and. everything
else," Raymond said. "I'm kind of afraid to set any goals,
besides I still have a long way to improve." ' - .
This weekend Raymond and his teammates will travel
to El Paso for the UTEP Relays, an annual headliner 'on
the track circuit. The Huskers have not found the outdoor
success they enjoyed this winter during the indoor season,
due partly to injuries and sickness. Another factor that
Raymond considers to be a reason for the Huskers in
ability to win outdoors is the lack of a Big Eight indoor
championship.
"It hurts when you gear up for the indoor champion
ship and don't win," Raymond said.
Raymond is hoping for a little cooperation from the
weather this weekend in his attempt to further his record.
"If I get a good tailwind at El Paso 111 crank it up an
extra half foot on the pole and see if I can make 17-6."
Baseball, hot dogs,
swimsuits and ISU
.4. t
When UNL's baseball team played Buena Vista College
in a doubleheader last March, the weather was so cold that
Head Coach John Sanders designated the twin bill as
"Arctic Parka Day. '' ,; ,: . . .. .... ' '
Nowi a month later, and with weather conditions a
little better, the Huskers will offer the season's second
promotional day with Saturday's doubleheader against
Iowa State. - v. jc
In stark contrast to "Arctic Parka Day," Saturday has
been billed as "SwimsuiJ Day."
All female wearing swimsuits ' will' receive 'Tree admls-'
sion to both games. The sorority or dorm floor with the
highest - bathing suit-clad representation will win ' an
autographed Husker baseball.
For the record, Iowa State University's baseball team
has had a losing season so far this spring.
ISU's 13-14 record however, is belied by wins over
national powers Hawaii and Oral Roberts and Big Eight
contender Oklahoma State.
The Cyclones, while playing below JOO baseball, have
firmly established themselves as an upset-minded group.
NU, 31-6 on the year, will be looking to dash ISU's
hopes for another upset when the Huskers host the
Cyclones in a pair of doubleheaders this weekend at Buck
Beltzer Field. V - -
. Today's games are scheduled to begin at 1 :30 pjn. and
the teams will play tomorrow at 1 pm.
"Iowa State has, been playing good ball lately. It's im
portant for
John Sanders. (
Today's twin bill marks the. beginning of divisional play
for both teams.The Huskers compiled a 7-1 record against
Big Eight Western Division foes and lead &e,Eteni Di
vision. Iowa State is second in the East with a 6-2
conference mark, followed by.Missouri, 5-2, and Kansas,
which is 5-3. - - ;''. S
Besides keeping Iowa State at bay, a sweep of the Cy
clones "would really put Kansas and Missouri in the
hole," Sanders said. - '
