A — 14,326 Tennis teams split wins with rivals By Jeff Singer Staff Reporter It was a split weekend for the Nebraska tennis teams. The men easily defeated Creighton 9-0 in their annual sea son opener against the Blucjays at Woods Tennis Center, while the women fell victim to Drake for the second lime this month, losing 5-4 in Des Moines, Iowa. The men got straight-set singles victories from No. 1 Joseph Rahmc, No. 2 Karl Falkland, No. 4 Andy Davis and No. 5 Troy Bray, as well as sweeping all three doubles matches in two sets apiece. Nebraska coach Kerry McDer mott said the key to the dual for the Comhusker men was being men tally prepared against an inferior opponent. “We knew before the match we were going to win, but I was proud of them for staying focused and not making fun of their opponent,” McDermott said. On the other side of the net, the women managed just two singles victories against the Bulldogs, from No. 3 player Rachel Collins and No. 4 Ann Flannery, in their loss to Drake. The women did take two of the three doubles matches, but they were one short of leaving Iowa with a victory. The Huskcrs were unable to avenge an earlier loss to the Bull dogs three weeks ago at the Gopher Doubles Classic in Minneapolis, and Nebraska’s record dropped to 1-1. --—--1 YauVe Just Been Cleared BarTake Off You can get a lot more out of life when you set your sights a little higher.

Nebraska sent a select few athletes to the Kansas State Invitational. They competed to prepare themselves a little more for the conference meet. “This was kind of a ‘nccd-lo’ meet,” assistant coach Jay Dirkscn said. “Athletes only went if they needed to.” Of those athletes, shot putter Kevin Coleman and the 3,200-mclcr relay team shined the brightest. Coleman continued to dominate the shot put, winning the event with a toss of 62-2. “Kevin really looked good,” Dirkscn said. “He had a great series, • consistently throwing over 61 feet.” The men’s 3,200-mctcr relay team won in 7:33.51, which ranks as one of the top 10 times in Nebraska history. “They really didn’t have any competition in the race, so the lime could have been even better,” Dirkscn said. “All four guys ran very well.” Krista Madcr placed high in the women’s shot pul, throwing 48-2 3/4, good for third place. Dirkscn said the mark was a personal best for Madcr, improving her previous best by one centimeter. in the men s high jump, Petar Malcscv overcame a nagging ankjc injury to win at 6-11. Dirksen said Malcscv was getting plenty of height on his jumps but kept knocking the bar off with his foot. In other events, Jodcc Shulcll placed second in the mile with a time of 5:08.4. The women’s 3,200 relay team placed second at 9:22.33, and Kevin Clark placed third in the 3,000 (8:36.2). Coach Gary Pepin said his teams had some fine performances. ‘‘We did really well in the meet,” Pepin said. “The performances of Coleman, Malcscv and the relay were the highlights of all the results.” Gymnasts take tournament win From Staff Reports The Nebraska men’s gymnastics team scored more than 280 points for the fourth straight time Saturday to win the Southwest Cup at Tempo, Ariz. The Cornhuskers’ 281.50 poinLs lopped the seven-team field, which included Oklahoma (276.00), UCLA (275.95), Arizona State (272.30), New Mexico (271.20), California (270.25) and Cal-Santa Barbara (268.45).
