Kentucky round out the field.
Nebraska coach Jay Dirksen said
sophomore Fran tenBensel and Lisa
Darley-Graham must carry the load
this weekend.
“TenBensel and junior Lisa Dar
ley-Graham are our top-two runners,
and they compare favorably with the
other four teams’ top runners,” Dirksen
said. “We want to get one of our First
runners as close to the first-place runner
as possible.’
The First-place runner is likely to
be Wisconsin’s Suzie Favor, the NCAA
champion in 800- and 1,500-meter
runs at last year’s track and field
championships.
“Wisconsin has one of the better
distance runners in senior Suzie Fa
vor, and they have one of the premier
programs in NCAA Division I cross
country,” Dirksen said.
But Nebraska can run with Wis
consin.
“We have a lot of depth, and our
fourth and fifth runners compare fa
vorably with the runners from the
other teams. But the question will be
how well our first runner can finish
and have everyone else fall in be
hind,” Dirksen said.
TenBensel, the Huskers’ front
runner, missed the team’s last big
meet in Montana to attend her sister’s
wedding.
“We’ll be facing better competi
tion, which will help us improve for
the Big Eight meet, tenBensel said.
After Saturday’s meet, the Big Eight
Championships is next for the Husk
ers. The meet will be Oct. 27 at Pio
neers Park.
“Throughout the season, I’ve seen
better improvement in our team, and
we’re looking for momentum head
ing into the conference champion
ships in two weeks,” Dirksen said.
The team finally has been nursed
back to health, he said. Captain Katie
Fletcher and Kelly O’Donnell have
healed and should compete Saturday.
“With Katie and Kelly returning,
that should help with our depth and
experience factors on Saturday,” he
said.
With everyone healthy, and the
entire team making the trip, this meet
will be used as part of the process of
selection for the conference team,
Dirksen said.
“This is the first time we’ve really
had a team together, so we will be
able to find out what we’ve got,” he
said.
Injured Walker
should be ready
to play Missouri
From Staff Reports _
Defensive tackle Kenny
Walker was held out of practice
Wednesday because of a groin
injury but should be ready for
Saturday’s matchup with Mis
souri, coach Tom Osborne said.
Offensive guard Erik Wieg
ertand tight end William Wash
ington also missed practice with
injuries. Wiegert is probable for
Saturday’s game despite a
jammed neck. Washington is
doubtful after suffering a sprained
ankle in the Kansas State game.
“If (Washington) can’t get
out and do some running (to
day), there’s no way he can play,”
Osborne said.
Back-ups Daryl Leise and
Johnny Mitchell would fill in
fine in Washington’s absence,
Osborne said.
