Nebraska’s Travis Grant strains to the finish line of the 100-meter dash Saturday at the
Nebraska Invitational. Grant won the race with a tirre of 10.65.

of course, the coaching staff was great.
“Also, my high school coach was
bom and raised here, and he said it’s
a great place to get an education with
out a lot of distractions. I did get
tricked about the weather, however,
since I came to visit in the spring.”
Grant was just 16 when he came to
Nebraska. Because of that, he said, he
used to gel leased a lot.
“In my first coq^le months of school,
guys on the team would call me ‘Kid
Skid’ since my nickname is ‘Skid,”’
he said. “They would tell me I couldn’t
even gel into the bars on Kiddie Night.
Things like that.
“Tlie guys pretty much sheltered
me from everything. Mark (Jackson)
and Jerry (Marsee) were like big
brothers to me. I hung out with them
and trusted them.”
Gradually, Grant began to trust
everyone else on the team as well. He
said the team unity was incredible.
“Every individual event is like a
brother or sister to another event,” he
said. “For instance, the distance run
ners are like our brothers and vice
versa and your own event is your
immediate family.
“Also, college teams are composed
of high school superstars, so it’s not
like there’s one person so above cv- *
eryoneelse that they get special treat
ment. Everyone is good, so they re
spect each other’s abilities.”
Now that Grant is in his second
season, he said, everything is starting
to work out fine. There is one thing he
needs to work on, though — his start.
“In the races I’ve run so far, the
competitors in my heat have always
been very quick starters, especially
(Husker teammate) Stephen Golding,”
Grant said. “I’m not known as a great
starter. But if I can improve on it —
and get out even with these guys— I
can beat them, because I’m a much
better finisher.
“I’m gelling better now at just
sitting in the blocks and listening for
the gun and still get out quick. Stephen
has really helped me a lot with my
start.”
Right now, Grant said he was best
suited for the 200-meter dash, mainly
because of his strength in running the
curves and his strong finishes. In fact,
he wants to give the 1992 Olympic
Trials a shot.
“For one thing, there seems to be a
noticeable difference in my times every
year, even from meet to meet,” he
said. “I know it’s a long shot to make
the team in ’92, but I think '96 is
something really legitimate.
“In fact, I probably would be dis
appointed if I didn’t make the team in
’96 if I keep training the way it’s
going now.”
With these goals in mind, Grant
said, he would keep pushing himself
to do better.
“Right now I am pleased with my
accomplishments in the sense that
I’m ahead of where 1 was at this time
last year,” he said. “But after every
race, you always know there arc things
you could have done to make the lime
better.”
Camesecca calls it quits at St. John’s
NEW YORK (AP) — LouCar
nesecca retired as coach of St. John’s
on Monday, a month before his en
shrinement in the Basketball Hall of
Fame.
The 67-year-old Camesecca
stepped down after 24 seasons at St.
John’s, a school he look to postseason
play each of those years and the only
college at which he ever worked.
“It’s going to be very difficult to
put the ball down, but the time has
come,” he said at a packed news
conference. “There are two reasons,
really. I still have half of my marbles
and I still have a wonderful taste in
my mouth about basketball. It’s a
1
difficult decision, but it’s all mine.”
Camesecca jumped into the na
tional spotlight with the creation of
the Big East Conference.
His teams led by Chris Mullin and
Walter Berry may not have earned
him as much notice as did his pen
chant for sweaters and his ability to
run and jump on the sidelines like a
man 20 years his junior.
Camesecca retired with a career
record of 526-200. His teams pro
duced 20-win seasons 18 times. St.
John’s reached the Final Four in 1985
when three Big East teams advanced
to the national semifinals at Lexing
ton, Ky.
“I thought hard about it the last
couple of weeks. I had to give it
serious consideration,” he said. “Hey,
I'll still be here. I’m just going across
the street.”
Camesecca will stay on as an as
sistant to the President for commu
nity relations.
“We hope Lou will serve as our
ambassador to New York City,” said
Rev. Donald J. Harrington, the school
president.
“Things can’t last forever,” Car
nesecca said. “The league will go on
and prosper. Why? Because of the
players and the special relationship
the schools have with each other.”
