UNL shot putter Staub aims for Olympic trials
By Kevin VVameke
One might think that since Nebraska shot putter Joe
Staub has achieved so much fame in the world of track,
his purpose in life would be geared toward track. But,
according to Staub, that is not the case.
"My goal for this year is to beat my shot put record
that I hold here at UNL," Staub said. "But more than that
my goal is glorify Jesus Christ. That's my goal in life
through what I do, in all things that I do."
As for his track career, Staub knows where he is going
in that area too.
"I'll probably be coaching at the university level as a
graduate assistant next year," he said. "I could see myself
competing in track meets for two more years."
"I would like to make it to the Olympic trials. To be
able to do so you have to meet the standard, which should
be around 64 feet," Staub said. "That's easily within
my capability."
said
Making the Olympic team will be another story, he
"To make the Olympic team, they take the top three
people and to make it you usually have to throw 70 feet,"
Staub said. "It's a possibility, but I just don't see myself
throwing 70 feet."
Both Staub and Assistant Men's Track Coach Dick
Railsback agree that weightmen don't reach their peak in
track until the age of 25 to 30.
"I could still be competing at 25 even until 30, but 1
don't think I will be," Staub said.
Another asset that Staub brings to the team besides his
leadership in the shot put circle, according to Railsback, is
his role as a team leader. Staub is a co-captain on the
squad.
"I try to be an example, that is the key thing," he said.
"I make sure I'm giving support to the other guys."
"Team unity does not come naturally and I try to be
out there encouraging the others, even when I don't feel
like it," he said. "I try to be a cheerleader and be out
there to pat them on the back."
Staub said track became a serious part of his life at the
age of 16 when he started throwing and realized he enjoy
ed it.
"I did well at it so I stuck at it," he said. "I didn't like
football because I was better at track and enjoyed it
more."
Staub said he regrets not throwing the. discus in high
school, since he enjoys it now.
"I never threw in high school, but now I've always
given a strong go at it," he said. "I just haven't done as
well. I can't explain why."
If there is anything holding him back in his track
career, Staub said it would be his lack of size. He is 6-0,
230 pounds.
"The thing that limits me is size. I'm quite small to be
an Olympic thrower," Staub said. "I would have to be
quite a bit stronger, but I have the potential to be strong
er through weight training."
