of Michelle Milling, Jill Noel, Heidi
Christiansen and Nicole Ali ran an
8:41.75 breaking the old mark of 8:46.45.
The next night, the foursome again
broke the record with a fourth-place
finish in the finals with an 8:39.37.
Wilson, a freshman from Altadena,
Calif., finished sixth in the 500-meter
run and Thacker, a senior AU-American,
finished sixth in the 55-meter dash.
Led by brilliant sophomore Roddie
Haley, the first runner to break one
minute in the 500-meter race, and dis
tance runner Paul Donovan, the Arkan
sas men captured a record-tying third
consecutive NCAA title.
The sensational 21-year-old Haley,
from Texarkana, Texas, broke the world
indoor best in the 500 for the second
consecutive night, clocking 59.82
seconds the first sub-one minute
time in history.
Friday night, Haley, the 1985 NCAA
outdoor 400-meter champion, had run
1:00.69 in the heats.
Saturday night, he led all the way
against a strong field, including Villan
ova's Edwin Modibedi, who also ran
under the old world indoor best, clock
ing 1:00.24.
It was the third time Haley has run
the 500 this year, and the third time he
had smashed the world indoor best.
Buoyed by Haley's remarkable per
formance, and victories by Donovan in
the 3,000-meter race and the 3,200
meter relay team, with a startling
comeback by Donovan on the final leg,
the Razorbacks amassed 49 points in
the two-day meet at the Myriad.
Arkansas is the second school to win
three straight NCAA indoor titles, join
ing Texas-El Paso, which did it twice,
from 1974-76 and 1980-82.
Villanova was second with 22 points,
and Georgetown and Boston University
tied for third with 20 each.
Alabama was the winner of the
women's championship, capturing its
first indoor crown with a total of 41
points.
Favored Texas finished second with
31, and Southern California and Ten
nessee tied for third with 26 each.
Donavan, a senior who won the
NCAA indoor 1,500-meter title last
year, took the 3,000 this year in 7:54.60,
after coming from third place around
the final turn to give the Razorbacks
the victory in the 3,200-meter relay in
7:20.72.
In that closing drive in the relay,
Donovan passed Georgetown's Miles
Irish and Notre Dame's Jim Tyler, with
a surprising kick for a long-distance
runner.
Donovan's victory in the 3,000 clinch
ed the title for Arkansas.

Big 8 Championship

Nebraska freshman Cathy Cassanos
took second in the all-around, scoring a
36.70. She scored a 9.25 on the vault; a
9.35 on the uneven bars; 8.75 on the
balance beam; and 9.35 on the floor
exercise.
The Huskers, now 10-5 on the year,
go into the Big Eight Championships
next weekend in Oklahoma City, Okla.,
tied for first in the conference with
Oklahoma. Nebraska and Oklahoma
are both undefeated in Big Eight
competition.
"The one thing we have going for us
heading into the Big Eight meet is our
consistency," Walton said. "If we get
everything together, we'll be capable of
scoring a 184."
"I think this meet helped build our
confidence for the Big Eight meet,"
Jeaneane Smith said.
The Huskers injury situation still
hasn't cleared up completely.
"Renee (Gould, the team captain)
got her cast off last week (Gould
sprained her right hand during compe
tition in Tempe, Ariz. February 21), but
we won't know about her situation
until Tuesday," Walton said. "Racine
Smith is still having problems with her
back, and Cathy Cassanos still has shin
splints."
The Huskers finished off their final
1986 home meet by doing a dance rou
tine to Eddie Murphy's song "Party All
The Time" while their scores were
being tabulated. The Huskers dedi
cated the routine to 1984 Olympic
alternate Jim Mikus.
