Women s trae
ma inosiis
By Jeff Korbelik
Senior Editor
Last year, 20 women qualified for the
NCAA indoor track championships dur
ing the Frank Sevigne Husker Invita
tional. This year Nebraska coach Gary Pepin
said he expect s to see just as many
qualifying marks as 500 athletes from
31 schools compete in this year's men's
and women's invitational at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center this weekend.
"There will be a lot of qualifying
times, I just hope some of our athletes
get those times," Pepin said.
Only three Nebraska women have
qualified for the national meet. All
three did it during last weekend's tri
angular meet in Wisconsin.
AlI American Angela Thacker quali
fied in the 60-yard dash, Tammy Thur
man in the high jump and Michelle
Milling in the 500 meters.
Despite finishing second behind
host Wisconsin, Pepin said he was
pleased with his team's performance.
Finishing second "didn't bother me
a lick," Pepin said. "Those meets
aren't important score-wise."
He said he, used the meet to run his
athletes in different races. He also
didn't take any of his distance runners
from the mile on up.
The Invitational features some of the
top talent from around the country,
meet director Mark Kostek said. He
said the Invitational, a unscored meet,

Tragedy-stricken KU
meets ranked Huskers
By Jeff Apel
Senior Reporter
The circumstances at Saturday's
Kansas-Nebraska women's swimming
dual will be different for the Jayhawks.
Kansas, ranked 19th in the latest
collegiate swimming poll, last faced
the Cornhuskers just after the death of
All-American Tammy Pease in an auto
accident.
The impact of that tragedy, Husker
coach Ray Huppert said, was obvious as
Nebraska defeated the Jayhawks by
170 points in the Husker Invitational.
'. . .Life resumes, so
we're sure they will be
more ready for us this
time...1
Huppert
"What happened at Kansas (death of
Pease) was a tragedy and unfortunately
nothing has changed," Huppert said.
"Everyone down there had to deal with
it both individually and as a team. But
life resumes, so we're sure they will be
more ready for us this time than they
were the last time we faced them
because they know they have the talent
to beat us."
Huppert said that although the 14th
ranked Huskers are favored to win the
meet, he is expecting a close battle
since this will be the third time this
season the two teams have faced one
another.
The meet, he said, is important in
terms of psychology.
"Whoever wins this meet will have a
psychological advantage when we face
one another in the Big Eight champion
ships," Huppert said. "There's no ques
tion that Kansas feels they have the
talent to beat us so we have to swim
well or else we will get beaten like a
drum."
Kansas coach Gary Kempf said that
revenge will not be on the minds of the
Jayhawks when they face Nebraska.
Kansas, Kempf said, treats every
meet separately.
"This is just a dual meet, which
serves as preparation for the Big Eight
Championships," Kempf said. "There's
no intense rivalry between the two
schools so we don't treat it as anything
special."
Kempf said that it is difficult to
point to any particular areas where
either the Jayhawks or the Cornhuskers
would have a decisive talent advantage
over one another.
Nebraska, he said, has some great
individual talent in Dana Powers, Emily
Ricketts and Erin Hurley, but Kansas
has some strength to match.
"Kansas is a damn good team and
Nebraska is also a damn good team,"
Kempf said. "Every race is going to be
close."
Kempf and Huppert said that it
won't be either an advantage or a dis
advantage for either team to have the
meet in Lawrence, Kan.
Every pool is 25 yards in length,
Kempf said, although Huppert said
that leaving the friendly confines of the
Bob Devaney Sports Center will be
tough in one respect.
"The Bob Devaney Sports Center is
the finest swimming facility for miles
around," Huppert said. "Kansas doesn't
have a bad pool, although their facility
isn't comparable to the Bob Devaney
Sports Center."
Huppert said the only Cornhuskers
who will be held out of the meet
because of injuries are sophomore Renee
Coffman and junior Kenya Kelly.
Both Coffman and Kelly, he said, are
sidelined with shoulder injuries.
"We're real pleased to get both
Shawn Liston and Lisa Ramus back
from injury," Huppert said. "Both of
them have come back and done a super
job for us so we're looking for contribu
tions from them."
