Wrestler prefers heavyweight challenge
UNL varsity heavyweight wrestler Daryl Meyer is a
man who likes a big challenge.
Meyer, who wrestled at 190 pounds for the second half
of last year, said he prefers heavyweight to the lighter
classification.
The sophomore said he doesn't feel his relatively small
size is a disadvantage as a heavyweight, because of. his
quickness.

"I feel like I have enough strength and I think my
quickness is good;' Meyer said.
Quickness is a big part of Meyer's improvement since
a?.?1 at UNL Mid wrestling Coach Bob Fehrs.
His best thing is that he's very strong physically,"
Fehrs said. "But since he came here, he has developed
more movement. He's added on a lot more versatility."
Before Meyer came to UNL, he was a three-time state
champion Class B heavyweight-unbeaten his last two
years-at York High School. But his freshman year was
tough for him, he said. . '
"Everyone told me the freshman year was the tough
est," Meyer said. "It was pretty tough for me. I felt like I
let a lot of people down. It's quite a change overall from
high school, to college."
For part of last year, he said, "I was cutting 20 pounds
from my natural weight. I didn't feel right."
Meyer said he chose UNL instead .of other offers from
UNO, Colorado School of Mines, and Augustana, S.D. be
cause, "I heard good things about the coach." i
And they were true, he said.
"In practice, I think he's good because he makes a lot
of things clear."
Meyer, an electrical engineering major, said adjusting
his class schedule to avoid conflict with his wrestling acti
vities has been "no problem."
Meyer said he felt that he was a better wrestler on his
feet than down on the mat.
"I can use my quickness better when going for a take
down," he said. .
For example, in his last match against Iowa State, he
had to wrestle a 325-pounder, who he said was one of the
heaviest opponents he's faced.
In the first period, he said, he took his opponent down,
but lost the match in the next two periods.
"He got on top and I couldn't get out," Meyer said.
Meyer said he thoughwthe main prerequisite for success
in wrestling is "mental toughness." :
v 'Thinking you can do it, and then doing it, is the most
important thing," he said.
The next action for the UNL wrestlers will be Satur
day, when they travel to Indiana for a pair of dual meets
between Indiana Central and Indiana University.
Indiana University's heavyweight should present a
challenge for Meyer as he was the national junior college
runnerup last year, Fehrs said. v ..
