lia.M-li.ii! nmyhave lust a s i li player,
hut track gained a record breaking
splinter,
Bih.lflk.s was playing hiehall when
his grade school coach suggested that
he run in a recreational track meet.
,Jelk" track career hegan then, but he
still managed to play baseball.
"1 love baseball. " Jelks said. "LaM
year was the first year that I didn't play
baseball. 1 still miss playing baseball,
but track is what I'm really good at.
"I miss playing baseball but only
during baseball season, since 1 played
it from grade school until last year," he
said.
While running for his high-school
track team, Jelks broke the Illinois
state record, previously held by Greg
Foster, in the 200 -motor dash. Foster is
a world-class hurdler and an Olympic
medalist.
Breaking Foster's record was a prim
ary reason that Nebraska recruited
him.
"When he beat lireg Foster's record
in the 20i meter dash in Illinois, we
knew he had a lot of potential," Ne
braska assistant track coach Bob Ccr
vcnkasaid. "And he hasn't disappointed
us."
Jelks was heaily recruited by Kan
sas, Indiana. Ohio State, Illinois. 1 SC,
('('LA. Nebraska and about 10 other
schools. He chose Nebraska because of
the emphasis placed on academics.
"All the other schools 1 went to
stressed mainly track, "Jelks said, "but
when I came here, they asked me what
I was interested in. They took me
around to hear people speak about
classes even though it might not have
been my major. I was impressed with
that.
"Also, the track team was an up-and-coming
team," he said. "It's one that
may t ako t hree year's t o get t o t he t op or
it's not one that's right on top. But it's
in the right spot to really become
something nationally."
Jelks said college track differs a lit
tle from high school, but he has adapted
well.
"My high-school coach gave us the
basic weight programs that they use in
college," Jelks said. "That part was
easy, but the workouts are a little dif
ferent. The workouts are longer, and
I've lifted more weights this year then I
ever have,"
Corvenka said the weight room is
still one place Jelks could visit more
often.

"He needs to lock himself in the
weight room," Corvenka said. "He needs
to get strong. All great sprinters are
powerful. Bobby needs to grow in size
and strength."
But Jelks said he thinks his size
doesn't matter.
"People have always talked about
my size," Jelks said, "but I just do what
the coach says. If that's what it's going
to take, then that's where it's at. I don't
get intimidated easily, so my size really
doesn't matter."
Jelks didn't qualify for the indoor
national meet, but that's not because
he can't, he said. He said his best event
is the 300-meter dash, which isn't run
at the NCAA Championships. But that
doesn't discourage him from compet
ing during the outdoor season.
"I maybe could have qualified this
year," Jelks said of the spring events. "I
was really coming on strong at the end
of the indoor season. When I get my
starting technique down, I should be
OK. I should qualify for the outdoor
season."
Sprinter wants Seoul
By David Mussman
Staff Reporter
Nebraska sprinter Michelle Mil
ling is taking a Big Eight conference
record with her to the NCAA Cham
pionships this weekend.
Milling, a junior consumer science
and advertising major, ran an NCAA
qualifying time of 1:1!):0() in the 000
yard run. At the NCAA Champion
ships she will compete in the "()()
meter run. Milling said she hopes to
complete some of her track goals
while competing in the national
championships.
"I want to at least get All
American," Milling said. "If I make
it to the finals (the top six) I auto
matically get All-American."
Milling said she is working to
meet more goals in the 400 meter
dash and the mile relay during the
outdoor season. She said she wants
to qualify for nationals and become
an Ail-American in both events.
To meet these goals, Milling said,
weight training is becoming more
important. She credits Nebraska's
weight program as an important
part of her success.
Milling was a member of the 1985
and 1980 Ail-American 1600-meter
indoor relay teams. She ran the
lead-off leg for the Cornhuskers in
the 3200-meter relay team that placed
No. 4 in the 1986 NCAA indoor. Mil
ling also placed second in the 600-
yard run at the lose, Big Ejjht
indoor with a national qualifying
time of l:20..':i.
Next year, Milling said, a lifetime
dream could come true when she
attempts to qualify for the l!)SS
Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea
"I'd love to go to Seoul," Milling
'- "-
--- r.. ,
Milling
said. "That's every athlete's ambi
tion, to make it to the Olympics. It's
just something I really need to work
on doing."
However, all of Milling's goals are
in track. She said that her first
priority at UNL is to get her degree.
Starting a career, possibly in an
advertising firm, is more important
to her than continuing in track, she
said.
Huskers advance in NIT
NEE from Page 13
Marquette led 44-3S at half'lme, but
the Huskers began the second half by
outscoring the Warriors 8-4 in the first
three minutes. Nebraska tied the game
48-48 on a layup by Carr with 17:04 left,
but Marquette again took the lead and
extended its advantage to as much as
six points in the second half.
Nebraska took a four-point lead, 64
60, with 9:23 remaining after Carr stole
the ball and fed it to Anthony Bailous
for the layup. The Warriors fought back,
however, regaining the lead with 6:00
left on a jumper by Smith. The teams
traded the lead after that until Smith

tied the game 76-76 with his three
point shot.
Bernard Day led Nebraska with 18
points while Bailous and Derrick Vick
added 14 points each. Carr added 12
points for the Huskers.
Marquette was led by Smith's 18
points and Kevin Johnson's 16. Copa
scored 14 for the Warriors and David
Boone added 12.
Nebraska shot 55.6 percent from the
field while Marquette hit 60.4 percent.
"So many things can happen at the
end of a game," Carr said. "Having a
chance to win a basketball game
that's all you shoot for. That's been our
goal all year. . .to find a way to win."
