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.
