Nebraska men's gymnastics coach
Francis Allen said he thinks he has the
best men's team in the country. But
there is one problem, he said: The
Cornhuskers have to prove it this week
end at the NCAA Gymnastics Cham
pionships in Los Angeles.
Nebraska will enter the meet seeded
third. 1987Big Eight Conference Cham
pion Oklahoma is seeded first.
Allen said he believes the Huskers
can win the national title if they per
form well.
"Man for man, I can't see another
team matching up with us," Allen said.
"We beat Oklahoma earlier in the sea
son by a good two points, and UCLA has
had a lot of problems late in the
season."
Nebraska's practices the last two
weeks have been the best all season,
Allen said. Everybody on the team is
"pumped up" and ready to go out and
give it their best shot, he said.
Allen said that after losing to Ariz
ona State last year, Nebraska is more
determined to win the championship
this year. The Huskers have won the
NCAA Championship five times under
Allen, most recently in 1983. In 1984,
the last time the NCAA Championships
were in'Los Angeles, Nebraska finished
fifth.
In 1985, the championships returned
to Lincoln and the Huskers finished
second behind Ohio State. In that
meet, the championship was decided
in the final rotation.
In 1986 the Huskers also finished
second, but this time the meet was not
decided on the floor. A judging deci
sion awarded Arizona State the cham
pionship. Allen questioned the judges on the
difficulty of his gymnasts' routines four
times. Because he was only allowed to
appeal three times, Nebraska was
penalized three-tenths of a point and
Arizona State won the title.
This year is a different story, Allen
said, because Nebraska has the two
best all-arounders in the nation: Tom
Schlesinger and Kevin Davis. Until the
Big Eight Championships April 3-4,
Schlesinger had won six consecutive
all-around titles. At the Big Eight meet,
Schlesinger scored a career-high 58.05
in the optional all-around.
Allen said Davis is a consistent 57
point all-arounder along with senior
Neil Palmer, who is quite capable of
scoring over 57. Palmer has gone over
the 57 mark twice this season.
"Davis has been playing catch-up to
Schlesigner all season, but he is prob
ably one of the best No. 2 all-arounders
in the nation. He's the quarterback of
the team," Allen said. "Neil has been in
a little bit of a slump because of a sore
ankle, but I know he will be up for the
championships."
Allen said the hardest part of the
meet is the qualifying round on Friday
night, when all 10 teams will compete
on the same floor.
But if the Huskers can overcome the
"three-ring circus atmosphere" Friday
night, Allen said, they'll reach the team
finals on Saturday afternoon. He said it
will be a whole new ball game.
Nebraska's women's team will make
its first trip to the NCAA Champion
ships in three years when it competes
in Salt Lake City this weekend.
The Huskers are seeded No. 1 1 in the
meet and are led by sophomores Crys
tal Savage and Jeaneane Smith. Ne
braska coach Rick Walton said he
hopes the team can finish in the top 10.
"I think it's great that we made it to
the NCAA's because at the beginning of
the season we weren't even ranked in
the top 20," Walton said. "We came
back and were ranked as high as No. 5,
plus we went undefeated in the Big
Eight Conference and won conference
championship.
"We've done everything we've wanted
to do this season."
The Huskers will have an advantage
Friday night because they will be com
peting in Olympic order, Walton said.
They will start on vault, then move on
to the uneven bars. In the next rota
tion, Nebraska will have a bye and then
will finish on balance beam and floor
exercise.
Walton said the Huskers are used to
the Olympic order and it will help them
to do the best they can. The top six
teams in Friday night's rotation will
compete Saturday afternoon in the
team finals. Utah, the No. 1-seeded
team, has won the NCAA Champion
ship six consecutive times.
Walton said that if Nebraska can
sneak into the top six Friday night,
anything can happen in the finals. He
said it will take 188 points to win.
Nebraska's highest score this season
was a 187.40, scored against Oklahoma
on Feb. 20 in Tulsa.
Walton said the scores will be tigh
ter and his team must have its best
meet of the season.
In other gymnastic news, two former
Nebraska gymnasts Scott Johnson
and Wes Suter will compete in
the McDonald's Gymnastics Challenge
meet between the U.S. and the Soviet
Union this Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in
Denver.
Johnson, a member of the Nebraska
gymnastics team from 1980 to 1983,
was a three-time NCAA Champion and
a gold medalist on the 1984 U.S. Olym
pic team.
Suter competed at Nebraska from
1983 to 1986 and is a five-time All
American. As a senior he won the high
est honor in men's gymnastics, the
Nassen Award. Suter also won the
NCAA all-around title in 1985.
