Coach Col Dcr.tz said Nebraska's
fifth consecutive men's Big Eiht swim
ming title is more important than the
others because "we won it as a team."
"It's the most satisfying win because
it reflects the most team effort " Bentz
said. "We didn't intimidate them, we
just beat them."
Nebraska's young team posted five
conference championship perform
ances which probably didn't intimi
date the other teams. However, the
team may have scared their oppon
ents with backup performances. Neb
raska's final 514.5 points resulted from
a lot of depth in most of the events.
The 1,650-yard freestyle exemplified
Nebraska's depth. Ernie Duran won
the race with a time of 15:47.01, .02
seconds ahead of Iowa State's Jens
Nielsen. Teammates Jon Under, Jim
Fellows and Per Ove Staveland placed
third, fifth and sixth respectively in
the event. All four of the swimmers are
freshmen.
Duran followed Nielsen most of the
race. He said he had planned to "hang"
with Nielsen for the first 1,000 and

then move ahead. At that point,
though, Duran said he was tired and
decided to hang with him until the last
100 yards. His victory was Nebraska's
first ever in the 1.G5Q free.
"I knew I could out-sprint him " he
said. Duran said he missed his last
turn and threw off his momentum, but
still managed to turn in hb beet time.
Tim Brinner's first-place finish in the
100-yard breaststroke with a time of
56.89 was also a high point for Neb
raska.' Bart Thomas from Iowa State
was second at 57.92.
Nebraska's SOO-yard freestyle relay
placed first and the 400 medley and
400 freestyle relays placed second this
year.
Kevin Weires, Keith Moore, David
Hecker and Chuck Rea turned in a

to better second-place Iowa State's
time of 6:44.05.

Kempf raised the white flag as early as
Thursday night. Iowa State Coach Bob
Groseth called it a meet Friday after
noon. But even as the other conference
coaches were conceding the Big Eight
Men's Swimming and Diving Champion
ship to Nebraska, they were able to
find some good in their teams' perform
ance. There's really nothing you can do,"
Groseth said. "They've got too much
depth and too many good people run
ning the program," Groseth said.
The only coach who didn't think
Nebraska was going to dominate the
meet was Husker Coach Cal Bentz,
who thought Missouri's dual success
and Kansas' home-pool advantage
would give those teams added mo
mentum. Kempf, Groseth, Goldfarb and Okla
homa Coach Mike Burt each said Neb
raska's superiority is, directly related
to money.
"Money helps," said Burt whose Soon
ers finished last. The state of Okla

While Bentz not only has a recruiting
budget larger than anyone else in the
conference, hu can leave good assist
ant coaches in control when he leaves
on recruiting trips, Groseth said.
Recruiting dollars at Missouri and
Kansas are also less than at Nebraska
Nebraska has" won so consistently be
cause Bentz is able to recruit in great
numbers, Goldfarb said.
"We've won more events than they
have," he said. That means we've got
better quality swimming. But we don't
have the third and fourth places like
Nebraska does."
To catch Nebraska in the near fu
ture, each coach said his program will
need more money. But, no one has it.
"With that football program, Neb
raska will always have that kind of
money," Groseth said.
The situation is the same in Col
umbia, but Goldfarb said he will not
give up hope.
"Just look, they've got better equip
ment, great warm-ups, and higher sal
aries," he said. "But you never resign
yourself to losing. If we cant be the
giant, well be the giant killer."
