The Nebraska men's End women's gymnastics
teams will go on the road for two in-.portar.t
meets this weekend.
The women's team meets Illinois State tonight
and Pcnn State Saturday in a double dual with
Nebraska Coach Francis Allen's men's team. The
Lion's teams are ranked sixth and first
respectively.
Women's gymnastic coach Rick Walton said
this road trip will be crucial because his team
needs to get its total score up. Oklahoma and
Missouri have high scores in the 180 range.
Nebraska's best has been a 178. S3.
We have to start scoring better if we are to be
competitive at the Big Eight championship
meet," Walton said.
Walton said that for the last week and a half,
the team has worked hard on the uneven bars.
"In our last meet against Georgia and Okla
homa State, the one event that hurt us the most
was the uneven bars," Walton said. "What we
have been doing in practice is reconstructing all
the girls' routines."
Walton said the Penn State meet will be the
toughest meet all season because Penn State
scored consistently on the road and at home.
"When a team can score very well both at
home and on the road they must be pretty good,"
Walton said.
Walton said that for the team to win the meet,
they will have to average scores of 9.0 or better
on the individual events and 35.00 cr better in
the all-around.
Allen said his team is ready for their meet
ago! net No. 1 Per.n State.
"I think we can rclly give Per.n State a good
meet, the team is in the best shape it has been
all year," Allen said.
Allen said he will use six silaroundcrs
against Per.n State. Mike Powers is back at full
strength after redshirting last season. Junior
Wes Sster is ranked Oh in the nation with an
all-around score of 53.53.
"Our all-around lineup for thi3 meet is the
strongest we have put up all season," Allen said.
Allen said Penn State has six strong all
grounders, lead by Teri Cariott, who competed
for England's national team last year.

Pepin hopes
weekend meet
improves team
Nebraska's men's and women's
track teams are at a point in the
season where they will need to
improve, Coach Gary Pepin said.
Nebraska will get a chance to
show what they have accomplished
when they compete in a triangular
meet against Wyoming, Kansas and
Drake Saturday afternoon at the
Bob Devaney Sports Center.
The meet will be a homecoming
of sorts for Pepin. He will be coach
ing against Kansas Coach Bob Tim
mons, whom he coached under for
nine years.
"Bob was my boss for nine years
and I have great respect for him,"
Pepin said. "I have tremendous
respect for him as a person and am
thankful for the opportunity that he
gave me."
Kansas is strong in the field
events because of the jumping abili
ties cf Ann O'Connor and the throw
ing of Clint Johnson.
Kansas women's team also has a
very good shotputter in Stein Luh
rdahl from Norway, Pepin said.
Little is known about the Wyom
ing teams escept that Gothenherg
native Jay Novacek, whose brother
Bump recently has mads an crsl
commitment to play football for
Nebraska, will participate in ths
meet. Todd Loescher, cousin of
Nebraska high Jumper Jeff Loescher,
will be another participant in tha
meet with Nebraska ties.
Most of the meets prior to the
conference and national meets don't
concern Pepin.
"Our emphasis and goal3 are to
get ready for the conferenca cr.d
