Colorado fell to No. 16 after losing its first game of the season. I Altitude hinders runners at meet By Tim Pearson Staff Reporter The Big Eight Conference Cross Country meet had Coach Jay Dirkscn and his Huskcr team gasping for air. The Husker women, picked to win the meet, could only salvage a third place finish, while the men, led by David Iteffa’s first-place finish, fin ished sixth. The meet was held in Boulder, Colo., and Dirkscn said the thin moun tain air affected both the men’s and women’s performances. “We were worried about the alti tude coming in,” he said. “We just tried to go out and run like we could.” Even with the high altitude, Iteffa took the Big Eight title for the men with a time of 24:49. Dirkscn said he was pleased with Itcffa’s performance on Saturday. “David ran a real smart race,” Dirkscn said. “This was the best race of his career, college orotherwise. “David works so hard, and he’s such a good person,” Dirksen said. “It’s nice to see him do well.” Although Itcffa finished first, Dirksen said the men’s team could have done belter. “We just couldn’t get everybody running well on the same day,” he said. “Third or fourth place was prob ably within our reach.” Fran ten Bcnscl.the defending Big Eight champion, was unable to re peat, taking second-place. Ten Bcnscl finished second be hind Colorado’s Brooke Baughman. “Fran ran a real strong race,” Dirksen said. She stayed with (Baughman) as long as she could. It would have been a different kind of race at a regular altitude.” Nebraska’s Theresa Stelling fin- • ished fourth in the race with a time of 18:27. “She had an outstanding perfor mance,” Dirksen said. The women finished behind Kan sas State and Colorado. Dirksen said that both the Wildcats and the Buffs ran well. “With the way those two teams ran, I don’t sec how our women could have beat them,” he said. Dirksen said the fact that the women were picked to win the race may give some a misleading impression of their ^performance. “It makes us look like we went down there and did bad,” he said. “We ran really well.” The Huskcrs will travel to Ames, Iowa, on Nov. 14 to compete in the NCAA District V Championships. * ON SCHOOLS Paid for by the YES ON SCHOOLS Committee • An independent group of private citizens concerned about Lincoln* future. ■ Charles Pallearn, Treasurer, 1900 FfrsTler Building Lincoln, NB 98506 • Co-Chairs: Jo Kinsey, Bob Kerns, Joe Hampton, Coieeo Seng —-----1 --- ' "1 Jobs...
