Thacker said she was
happy with her perfor
mance this weekend, be
cause she has been bo
thered since last summer
by tendonitis in her right
knee.
Despite the soreness,
Thacker jumped 20-1,
which is a national quali
fying mark. Though the
jump was considerably
short of her personal best
of 20-914, NU Coach Gary
Pepin said it was still a
pretty good jump for her
first meet.
"That CO was exception
al for me," Thacker said.
Thacker led a first through
fourth place finish for Ne
braska in the event with
a national qualifying time
of 6.77.
Three other Nebraska
.women qualified for the
NCAA indoor champion
ships. Rhonda Blanford
qualified in the 60-yard
hurdles with a winning
time of 7.85. She also quali
fied in the CO-yard dash
with a second-place time
of 6X3.

"We placed well with
our new people" Pepin
said. They should all be
real assets to the team."
One of those newcomers
was freshman Kcrlene
Erickson, who in her col
lege debut, won the two
mile run in 10:41.00.
Laura Wright, a new
comer from England, was
the 880-Vard victor with
a time of 2:13.43. Other

Nelson in the 1000-yard
run with a time of 2:38.37,
and Jennie Borham

The Cornhuskers mile
relay team, consisting of

Carol Nunnally and
Thacker, was victorious
with a time of 3:56.83.
Pepin said if he had to
pick somebody to open
the men's Indoor track
season cgain, it wouldn't
have been Southern Illi
nois. Souther Illinois, fielding
team, was upset
by the Cornhuskers 67
64 in a dual at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center Sa
turday. The Huskers won eight
of the 15 events. Three
wins were captured by
familiar faces: seniors

surprised by how well his
newer people did.
They had a good meet
and they did what they
had worked on," Pepin
said,
Loqntjer was the only
Husker to qualify for the
NCAA meet with hi3 vault

Softball teams defeat
snow, extreme cold
Cy Kevin LIcCcy '
Thirty-eiht teams braved cold temperatures and
icy fields in the first-ever intramural snow softball
tournament this weekend at the 19th and Vine
streets intramural fields.
Twenty-four men's, 12 Co-Rec and two women's
teams bundled up in nearly every article of winter
clothing imaginable to tackle below-freezing tem
peratures and winds up to 20mph.
"Quite a few more teams entered than I expected,"
Kenda Scheele, director ofintraraurals, said. "I only
expected 12 to 15 teams. I didnt think there would
be that much interest as cold as it has been."
"Friday niht wa3 so bitter cold that I couldnt
even feel my toes," said Mark Schmer of Alpha Tau
Omega. ,
ATO was an 8-1 victira'to the Snowballers in the
men's final The Gators triumphed 10-0 against
Sandoz Five in women's play, Sigma ChiPi Phi
defeated the Flyswatters 15-7 in the Co-Rec final.
Special modifications for the tournament included
optic yellow softballs and shorter basepaths. A
makeshift wood-filled garbage can was used to
warm up hands and other frozen body parts.
The reasons given by players for participating in
the tournament varied.
"We had a lot of fun with our fall team, the Swedes,
and we're just bizarre and crazy enough guys that
we thought we'd give it a shot," Jerry Bartek of the
Snowballers said.
Sandoz Five's Amy Gibbs said regular softball got
too boring for her team. They wanted a new challenge.
The snow-packed ground presented several unique
problems for Schmer.
"You see a lot cf people falling down and the ball
takes some weird bounces," he czl
Enowbillcr Jeff Draun said the weather was
for some cf the hih-scorisg cmcs.
The sr.c-.v helps the cllcr.ee because it's very C 'JTi-
cu; to p;;y counccs, r.e szid. it s Harder to h:t the
tall in the cold, but I'd EtiU say there's a slight advan
t"e to the cITence."
