Ask Tom Hoffman.
Hoffman crossed the
finish line Friday niht to
a standing ovation, but
the junior from Exccter
wound up fourth, not
first, in his first-ever
three-mile run.
"Tonight, I heard them
(crowd) really well," Hof
fman said. "I'm glad the
meet is at home."
The crowd was just as
enthusiastic when Nebra
ska pole vaulter Glen
Loontjer cleared 17-6-
to break the Nebraska
school record of 1 7-6 Sat
urday. His vault was good
enough to earn him sec
ond place behind Joe Dial
of Oklahoma State, who
cleared 18-1 for a Dig
Eight record.
The loudest ovation
took place when Marc
Adam, a senior from Can
ada, became the only event
winner for the Huskers
by winning the two mile.
Adam's time of 8:39.66
qualified him for nation
als and broke the school
record of 8:47.6. ;
Adam outdistanced
Iowa State's Joseph Kip
sang by four seconds, but
thought Kipsang was
much closer than he really
was. ,
"I thought there was
some guy behind me,"
Adam said referring to
his strong kick in the last
lap. "1 really thought there,
was somebody behind
me."
' Iowa State came into
the Sports Center favor
ed to win the Big Eight
meet by the coaches ear
lier this week. And they
did just that, winning
nine of the 17 events and
scoring 143 points. Mis
souri finished a distant
second with 03 and Ne
braska third with 81.
