Lincoln freshman to dive for NU
By Frank Hassler
For UNL freshman SUcy Porter, the opportunity to
work with teammates will be a new experience in wo
men's diving.
And it is one she is looking forward to, she said.
"All through high school (at Lincoln High) I was the
only girl diver on the team," Porter said. "I had
swimming teammates, but not diving ones."
Porter took second in the Nebraska High School
Girls' Swimming and Diving Championships her senior
year, but a lot of fans dldfl it know about her until this
month when, at the AAU Junior Olympics in Lincoln,
she took third in a nationwide field of one-meter diving
competitors.
After the preliminary round, the field was narrowed
to eight divers, who came back for three final tries.
& "1 was in second going into the last three (dives),
but 1 felt like I dropped about eight places," Porter
said with a giggle.
After the meet, she said, life went on as usual.
"Nothing much happened. I went out to eat, went
home and went to bed."
Stacy was also a swimmer at Lincoln High, but it's
a subject she prefers not to talk about.
"I swam, but some people wouldn't call it
swimming," she said, laughing. "I was terrible."
Porter said she had contact with Kansas and Iowa
State, but Nebraska was foremost in her mind.
"I knew I'd come here. It's coming up in swimming,
and I've heard it really has a good journalism school,"
she said.
Stacy plans to major in journalism.
, Her father is James Porter, UNL men's tennis coach,
but he didn't push her into coming to UNL, Miss
Porter said.
"He hasn't pushed me at all," she said. "He just told
me that if I went away, it'd be a big step."
Kansas, Stacy said, wanted her to participate in
gymnastics as well as diving. She was fifth in the state
high school all-around competition her junior and
senior years, and fourth as a sophomore.
She said she will not go out for gymnastics at UNL.
"Maybe 111 work out a little bit, but that's about
it."
Stacy said her first semester of classes is planned to
fit around her meet schedule.
"I think about all I'm going to miss is one Friday in
the middle of November," she said. "I might be missing
a lot more next semester, though. Ill find some way to
get by. I suppose 111 do a lot of studying on the trips."
Jeff Huber, Nebraska's diving coach for both men
and women, said he is "looking forward" to having
Stacy on the team.
"She's a hard worker," Huber said .
