Huskers to chase Kansas
at conference swim meet
By Thomas Clouse
Senior Editor
Upset is on the mind of every
member of the Nebraska women’s
swimming and diving team.
The Comhuskers are the two
time reigning Big Eight champi
ons, but they are not favored this
year.
The meet ww
will take place
at the Bob |
Dcvancy Sports f
Center today „
through Satur
day. W ^BM
Nebraska JBBj
coach Ray
Huppert said
Kansas will be
the team to Huppert
beat, but added that the meet won ’ t
be a two-team competition.
“Kansas has the most talent, but
individuals from other teams will
be strong,” Huppert said. “Mis
souri and Iowa State have good
individual swimmers who will have
an effect on the total team scor
ing.”
The challenge the meet provides
is just what the Huskcr team wants,
Huppert said.
“Of the last five championships
we won, we were the favorite only
twice,” he said. “We have a great
respect for Kansas. They’ve per
formed well this year, and should
be ranked first.”
Nebraska, which has won five
Big Eight titles in the past seven
years, will have to “perform” to
win the meet, he said.
“We can’t have any false starts
or early relay exchanges,” he said.
“We can’t make any mistakes or
have any letdowns.”
Huppcrt said he is confident the
taper has helped the Huskers pre
pare for the competition. A taper
reduces the workout load so the
swimmers can swim their best times.
“When you have been working
as hard as our swimmers have, and
you change the training,” he said,
“the mind understands what you
are doing, but it takes time for the
body to adjust.
“If the individual continues to
have confidence, the good perform
ances arc naturally going to come,”
Huppert said.
T7ie Huskers’ 6-5 dual record
includes a 136-107 loss to Kansas
on Nov. 8, in Lawrence, Kan.
Kansas coach Gary Kempf.who
coaches both men’s and women’s
team, said regardless of the Jay
hawk win, Nebraska is still the
defending conference champion.
“I think it will be a good meet
with a lot of surprises and I hope
that it is the best of the year for all
four schools,” Kempf said.
Nebraska returns two confer
ence winners from last season,
including Michelle Butcher and Julie
Riegal.
Butcher won three events in last
season’s meet and was named the
Big Eight Meet Most Valuable
Performer the previous two years.
The junior from Alpine, Calif.,
also has the fastest Big Eight times
in the 500, 1,000 and 1,650-meter
freestyle events. She is listed sec
ond in the 400 individual medley.
Huppcrt said having the meet at
home should be a psychological
advantage for the Huskers.
“I think (having the meet at
home) plays a positive role be
cause our swimmers will be famil
iar with the turns and the lighting,”
Huppcrt said. “But it doesn’t play
that much more of an edge because
this is the fastest pool in the confer
ence.”
The meet will start today with
the women’s one-meter diving. The
swimming preliminary events begin
at 11 a.m., and the finals start at 6
p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday.
“It’s nice to be home because
this might stir up a little more inter
est in our home fans,” he said.
“I don’t think it’s unlikely or
unrealistic to think we have a shot
at the title,” Huppcrt said.

American at Southern Illinois.
But Billie already has earned a
long list of honors herself, including
being named the Most Valuable Player
of the 1991 USA National Junior Elite
team. The Junior Elite team is made
up of the top high school players in
the country, Begor said.
In addition to that, Winsett is a
three-time all-state selection in Indi
ana, carries a 4.0 grade-point average
and is expected to graduate as the
valedictorian of her class.
“She’s a kid who sets goals, and
she achieves those goals through hard
work and talent,” Begor said.
Begor said Nebraska still had one
scholarship to offer, and coaches were
trying to sign one more player.
Searching will be difficult, he said.
“We only found four or five play
ers at most that we thought could play
here right away,” Begor said. “We’re
at a point now where we can’t recruit
average players, we have to get ex
ceptional players.”

Nebraska’s Chris Nelson has been
named the Big Eight Wrestler of the

Nelson, Nebraska’s starter in the
190-pound weight class, posted a 5-0
record at the tournament, including a
7-2 decision over Iowa Slate’s Dan

country.
Nelson, who earned All-America

seventh by Amateur Wrestling News.
Nelson’s other wins at the meet
came by major decision, technical
fall or pin. The wins improved his
season dual record to 20-5-2.
Nebraska Coach Tim Neumann said
Nelson is back on track to contend for
more national honors this season.
“He wrestled as well as he has all
year last weekend,” Neumann said.
“He had been in a bit of a slump, but
he worked hard and improved his
conditioning, and he is right where he
should be in terms of challenging for
the national title.”
Nelson and the rest of the Com
huskers are now preparing to face
Oklahoma Saturday at the Bob Dcva
ney Sports Center. *
