Cross-country
team loses
top runners
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter_
For fifth-year women’s cross
country coach Jay Dirksen, the
upcoming season looks familiar.
“Four years ago we started out
with a group of freshmen and we
have gotten better since,’’ he
said. “We’re just kind of starting
over this year.’’
Graduation took four of the
top seven runners from last sea
son’s team, which finished No. 12
in the countiy, Dirksen said Ne
braska could possibly have fin
ished higher.
“Last year we rose as high as
No. 3 in the country before Mary
Amen went out with mono (mono
nucleosis) and Jill Noel sprained
an ankle which never really
healed,” Dirksen said. “What we
accomplished last year was with
out two of our top four runners.”
What Nebraska accomplishes
this season will be without all
four of those runners, he said.
“We lost four really outstand
ing seniors,” Dirksen said. “Mary
Amen, who has graduated and
gone on to pharmacy school, was
an excellent runner. Karlene
Erickson was a tremendous^ high
school runner and a good colle
giate runner. Laura Wight was
good track and cross-country run
ner, and Jill Noel was a good
runner.”
But all is not hopeless, Dirksen
said.
‘ We have three real solid peo
ple coming back,” he said. "Sam
mie Resh, who holds the school
record in the 1500 and the 3000,
could become one of the best
distance runners ever at Ne
braska.”
Resh, a junior from Shelton
who finished 13th at the Big
Eight Championships last sea
son, will be the team’s captain
this year.
Dirksen also said that sopho
mores Michele Marthaler, who
finished 15th at the Big Eight
Championships and the District
5 Championships, and Juliet
Prowse, who came to Nebraska
from Vanderbyipark, South Africa,
will also contribute.
"Michele Marthaler was a
freshman last season, but she
didn’t run like a freshman,” Dirk
sen salt. "Juliet Prowse is really

Inexperience may hurt this
season's team, Dirksen said, but
in a year or two the team should
be strong. The only senior on the
team is Carol Nunnally.
“We are one or two runners
from being a strong contender in
the conference," Dirksen said.
“That’s not saying that a lot of
our runners are not good runners,
they jusMack a little experience
and will take time to develop."
Several new fices join this
year’s team. Although “we lost a
couple of recruits at the last
minute we thought we might
have," Dirksen said, Nebraska
has two incoming freshmen: Kelly
Loos, who was the state high
school cross-countiy runner-up
at Lincoln High School last year,
and Lisa Darley, the state cham
pion in South Dakota.
In addition, Nebraska signed
Susie Larson and Dawn Gale.
Gale, a transfer from New Mex
ico, had a bone tumor last spring
and a bone graft.
The cross-country season will
open Sept. 12 with the Nebraska
Invitational at Pioneers Park,
the Huskers’ only home meet of
the season. Meets at Minnesota
and Virginia, where the NCAA
Championships will be, are
scheduled, as is a meet at Illinois.
The Big Eight Championships
will be held Oct. 31. Diricsen said
the conference race should be
close.
The District 6 Championships,
which determine what teams will
compete at the NCAA Champion
ships, will be Nov. 6. The NCAA
Championships will be Nov. 13.
