NU gets in shape for Hoosiers
By Chuck Green
Senior Reporter
Tim Neumann is getting tired of
hearing about injuries to his seventh
ranked Comhusker wrestling team.
After Wednesday night’s dual loss
to Minnesota, Neumann is sure to be
even more exhausted.
Against the Gophers, All-Ameri
can Corey Olson wrestled for the first
time in two months and aggravated a
torn ligament in his knee. He lost by
injury default.
Olson’s status will be in question
Saturday, when Nebraska takes on
Indiana at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center indoor track in the second-to
last dual of the season. The dual is
scheduled for 5 p.m.
“We still don’t have our best lineup
yet,” Neumann said. ‘‘But I’m look
ing forward to the Indiana dual, be
cause I think that will be as close to a
full lineup as we’ve had since the
Iowa State dual (Dec. 15). Some of
the guys have been coming around
real well, and it’s just a matter of
getting them into wrestling shape.
“But we still have a couple of guys
who still need the time, which is
something that we’re running out of
this late in the season.”
Neumann said he expects Dave
Droegemueller, Nebraska’s starter at
the 134-pound weight class, to return
soon. Chris Nelson, the 190-pound
starter, returned against Minnesota
and won a 17-5 major decision.
Scott Chenoweth, Nebraska’s regu
lar at 167, is out for the season, Neu
mann said. Chenoweth, a senior, de
tached a chest muscle from the bone
during practice last week.
Nebraska and Indiana have split
10 previous meetings, but have met
only once during Neumann’s reign as
coach. The Huskers won that one, 21 -
12, at the 1989 Virginia Duals.
Last season, the Hoosiers finished
eighth at the NCAA championships
after posting a 14-0 record in their
dual season.
“They lost a lot of people to gradu
ation from last year,” Neumann said,
“but they’re still pretty good. They
beat Illinois and Northwestern recently,
so they’ll be running at full speed.”
Nebraska's probable starters:
118 — Jason Buxton (3-1)
126 — John Buxton (18-4-2, ranked No. 7 in
the nation)
134 — Jason Kelber (25-2, No 2)
142 — OPEN
150 — Layne Billings (6-5)
158 —Todd Enger (19-11-1)
167 — Tommy Bobbins (10-10-4)
177 — Corey Olson (20-5, No. 2)
190 — Chris Nelson (14-3)
Hwt. — Sonny Manley (15-8-1)
Hall broadens her sports horizon
By John Gardner
Staff Reporter
Cris Hall has joined the ranks of
Bo Jackson and Jim Thorpe.
Hall, a Nebraska volleyball stand
out for three years, has joined the
Comhusker track and Held team as a
high jumper.
A state high school champion in
the high jump and long jump from
Chanute, Kan., Hall said she enjoyed
jumping so much in high school that
she wanted to try it again. But she said
it hasn’t been easy.
“It’s been sort of strange coming
back after three years,” Hall said,
“then practicing for two weeks for a
quality meet like the Husker Invite.”
At the Frank Sevigne Husker Invi
tational last week, Hall cleared 5 feet,
10 inches to give her a provisional
qualifying mark for the NCAA in
door track championships.
This comes in the midst of consid
erable volleyball success.
Hall is a starting outside hitter for
the Nebraska volleyball team that has
reached the Final Four the past two
seasons. Hall also has participated at
the 1990 U.S. Olympic Festival and
with the U.S. National “B” Team.
Hall also has battle injuries. At the
beginning of her sophomore year, she
NU track teams
travel to Kansas
The Nebraska men’s and
women’s track and field teams
will send a few athletes to the
Kansas State Invitational this
weekend. Other unattached
athletes will go to Kansas to
compete in the Kansas Open.
Many of the top Comhusker
performers are being saved for
next weekend’s Big Eight in
door championships in Colum
bia, Mo.

began to experience back problems.
Hall, who studies pre-physical
therapy, said she first found out that
she had a herniated disk. Later, she
discovered she had a muscle imbal
ance in her back.
The problem became more seri
ous, Hall said, and she visited a spe
cialist in San Diego. After this, Hall
began to do one hour of special exer
cises every day for her back. She said
the pain only comes on during vigor
ous exercise. If it wasn’t for athletics,
she said, the special exercises wouldn’t
be necessary.
“I do the exercises so I can com
pete at the Division I level,” Hall
said. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing
them. My back doesn’t bother me
when I’m just sitting around.”
The pain is worst, she said, when
she lands on the floor playing volley
ball. And it’s a problem that won’t
just go away.
“It’s going to be with me forever,”
she said.
Competing in the high jump,
however, has nocffecton Hall’s back.
She said this has given her a chance to
train hard every week.
With the indoor Big Eight Cham
pionships coming up in a week, Hall
said, she will go at it hard in hopes of
automatically qualifying for nation
als. But she doesn’t particularly like
competing inside.
“I tend to jump a lot better out
side,” she said, “just for the simple
fact that I’m more of an outdoor per
son.
“You’ll see a big difference in my
jumping (between) now and the out
door Big Eight championships.”
Next fall, Hall will return to the
Nebraska volleyball team. She has
two simple goals for next season:
national championships in volleyball
and in track and field.
“I might as well dream big.” she
said.

the Comhuskcrs.
Bui this time the Huskcrs* No. 1
doubles team of Nancy Tyggum and

weekend,” Nebraska coach Bob
Hampton said. “We’re very familiar
with both teams.”
The familiarity Hampton mentioned
comes from watching and playing
Drake and Wichita State last fall in
the Husker Invitational.
“I like to think of these, kind of
matches as tuners for next weekend
and the Big Eight,” Hampton said. “1
hope we don’t take these matches too
lightly though, otherwise we’ll get
beat like we did against Tulane.”
Next weekend’s match is Ne
