Comhusker wins all-around title pete in the all-around competition Decause oi injuries. Rubio has been slowed by a wrist injury, while Rodrigue/ has a sore shoulder. Houston Baptist coach Hutch Dvorak kept them from competing in the all-around to concentrate on Saturday night’s individual competition. “To be honest, I think that had a lot to do with me winning,” Kirksey said. All three previous Nebraska all-around winners captured the title during their junior seasons and then won the Nissen Award the following year. The Nissen is annually awarded to the nation’s top senior collegiate gymnast. Kirksey, though, isn’t concerned about that - at least not now. “Maybe it hasn’t hit me yet that I actually won,” he said. “I don’t feel that much differ ent.” Kirksey looked down at the floor and smiled.

Perry won the event in 21.48 seconds, while Ifeduba finished 3rd. Robinson surprises herself, sets two track records at Ed Weir By Darran Fowler Staff Reporter Without much effort, Nebraska All-Amer ica triple jumper Renita Robinson established two records at Saturday’s outdoor track meet at Ed Weir Stadium. Robinson bettered stadium and school rec ords in winning the triple jump with a distance of 42-feet, 9-inches on her final jump. The jump was also under the NCAA qualifying standard of 41-4 1/4. Robinson, who held the previous school record of 42-5 1/2 set in 1987, surpassed the stadium record of 40-1 1/2 set in 1985 by Wisconsin’s Sharon Dollins. Robinson said her performance was a sur prise because she was not as excited as she usually is when competing in the triple jump. “I’m real pleased considering I felt very lacksadaisical going in,’’ Robinson said. “I was real excited about my performance to day.’’ Robinson’s record-setting performance contributed to Nebraska’s winning in the four team women’s standings with 81 points. Big Eight Conference rivals Kansas State and Missouri finished in 2nd and 3rd place with 49 1/2 and 43 1/2 points respectively. Wyoming had 11 points. Nebraska won the men’s five-team compe tition by scoring 104 points. Kansas State was 2nd with 81 points and Minnesota 3rd with 55 1/2 points. Missouri was 4th scoring 30 points and Wyoming 5th with 14 1/2 points. Nebraska coach Gary Pepin said he was pleased because the Comhuskcrs were com petitive despite being without some key per formers in the meet. “We had a lot of people who didn’t com pete, so I was real pleased we did as well as we did,” Pepin said. After a back injury that slowed her training during the indoor season, Robinson said she is still trying to increase her speed. “Speed-wise I’m not quite there yet,” she said. “I really haven’t put speed and strength together and used them effectively yet.” Pepin said he was not surprised by Robin son’s jump. “That’s essentially where she was a year ago, so that’s not surprising that she jumped what she did,” he said. TheComhusker women also picked up wins from Michele Marthaler in the 10,000-meter run with a time of 35:45.15, Beth Webster in the 400 with a time of 56.00 and Sammie Resh in the 1,500 with a time of 4:25.62. Also winning for the Huskers were Toyia Barnes in discus with a toss of 163-5, Tanya Lidy in the long jump with a leap of 20-5 and Linetta Wilson in the400 hurdles with a NCAA qualifying time of 58.43. In addition, the Husker 1,600 relay team consisting of Ximena Restrepo, Webster, Lidy and Wilson were victorious with a clocking of 3:43.56. Webster’s win in the quarter was only the second time she had run the open 400 at the collegiate level, she said. Webster said she did not want to run the race, adding that her lack of experience in the event had her skeptical about her strategy going into the race. , “It f^lt pretty good,” Webster said. “I was kind of neared going into it.... should I go out fast or should I save it for the end? — I just ran my race.” Barnes said her win in the discus was pleas ing because she defeated Kansas State’s Angie Miller, who had registered the second-best throw in the conference coming into the meet. Miller placed second in the discus with a throw of 159.3. ‘‘It’s always an incentive to compete against someone in the conference who is lead ing,” Barnes said. Senior Dale Burrage was a three-time win ner for the Comhusker men winning the 110 and 400 hurdles in 14.13 and 52.42 respec tively. He also teamed with Mark Jackson, John Gerber and Dieudonne’ Kwiz
