Finishing last irt the fcig tight doesn't
bothef UNLi cross country teams And
winning isn't everything to therrt-if any
thing. k . .
"If we win a few meets that's a luxury
on the side," said Carol Frost, UNL wo
men'shead track coach.
Assistant men's track coach Dick Rails
back and Frost said both teams use cross
country to train for the Upcoming track
season.
"Most of the runners aren't distance
runners" Railsback said "But running
distance helps them to improve their
middle distance times."
THE WOMEN'S TEAM finished fifth in
the Big Eight last year and the men's team
finished last.
According to Railsback both teams
would do well if Winning meets was their
goal.
"If we really pushed for it and aimed at
peaking at the NCAA cross country
championships, I'm sure we'd do Well,
Railsback said.
Most cross country teams that do well
have light indoor track schedules, Rails
back said.
HE PREDICTED THAt t Colorado,
Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri again will
finish in the top four.
"Colorado has an advantage because
they train at a high altitude When they
come down to lower elevations, theyre in
better shape " Railsback explained.
But, UNL should not be ruled out, he
said.
Although the team is made up heavily
of middle distance runners who will move
up to the longer distance, it should be
stronger this year, he said.
Freshman Phil Shirley, a 1500 and 5000
meter runner from Hollywood, Calif ,
should be the fall's sensation, he said,
SHIRLEY WAS NAftlED a California
outstanding athlete ind i High School Ail
American last spring. t t r .
"He's really our only long distance
runner, and he has the ability to help us
out "he said.
Returning lettermart Brian punnlgan, a
junior who finished third irt the Big Eight
Outdoor meet in the 1500 meter, should
also be impressive this fall, Railsback said.
Middle distance runners, Scott Poehllng
Tim McCashland and PaUl Downes will
complete the men's five-man squad, he
said.
Poehling, three time Big Eight Individual
champion in the 800 meter race, said it
doesn't bother him that UNL does not do
well in cross country,
' ITS THE BASIS for our track season,
and we prove we have the best distance
runnners in the conference by our indoor
and outdoor seasons," he said,
UNL was close to winning the "grand
slam" of distance races last spring at the
Big Eight Indoor championship meet, he
said.
UNL placed first in the 400, 800, and
1000 meter race, second in the mile and
third in the 600 meter race,
Poehling said the cross country team is
young and inexperienced but added,
f'weve got guys who can run,"
Frost said she's not sure who the top
five women runners will be, but said re
turning lettermen Lisa Kramer, Cindy
Vickers and Taml Essington should be
strong.
She said she looks for Iowa .State to be
strong again followed by Kansas and
Kansas5tate,
' We just want each individual athlete to
improve her time, If we win-we win,'1 she
added.
The women begin their season Sept, IS
in Wichita, Ran., and the men are schedul
ed to begin Sept, 2i against Iowa State in
Arties, . ,.,'
