Strong triple jumps help NU grab second at Big Eight meet By Tim Pearson Staff Reporter Aided by strong performances in the triple jump, the Nebraska men’s and women’s track teams both look second at the double quadrangular track meet Saturday at the Bob Dcvancy Sports Center. The Comhuskcr men finished be hind Arkansas, which has won the fast -••He indoor National Championsftfps^ The Huskcr women finished nine points behind Virginia. Nebraska coach Gary Pepin said that he was happy with the two meets. “Overall it was two good meets for us,” he said. Sophomore triple jumper Robert Thomas set a new Nebraska school record with a jump of 55 feet, 1 1/2 inches. Pepin said he was pleased with the men’s team, particularly Thomas. -44 The women are going to have to get it rolling, or we’re going to have real problems in the conference indoor meets. —Pepin NU track coach -ft - “Overall we had some pretty good performances,” he said. “We had a great performance in men’s triple jump. That was one of the top perfor mances in the United Stales this year and one of the belter performances for this lime in the world right now.” Freshman sprinter Riley Washing ton, a defensive back on the Husker football team, took first place in the 55-meter dash with an NCAA provi sional qualifying time of 6.22 sec onds. “Riley Washington ran really well for us again in the 55-meter dash,” Pepin said. Junior Paul Morrison beat his school record in the 35-pound weight throw with a throw of 18.77 meters. He also set a new Big Eight best in the event. Although the women placed sec ond, Pepin said that he needed to see improvement from the women to be successful in the Big Eight meets. “For the second week in a row, the women haven’t been able to win a meet,” he said. “The women are go ing to have to get it rolling, or we’re going to have real problems in the conference indoor meets.” Sophomores lead swimmers ’ win By Tim Walnofer Staff Reporter The Nebraska men’s swim team banked on two sophomores to blast past Kansas on Saturday. Powered by Alan Kelsey and Gary Albertyn, the Comhuskcrs won the dual 130-105 at the Bob Devancy Sports Center pool. On the women’s side, Nebraska lost to the No. 8 Jayhawks by a score of 143-100. Kelsey and Albertyn took two events apiece to power the Husker victory. Kelsey won the 50 and 100 meter freestyles, and Albertyn won both the 200 and 500 freestyles. Both were also members of the Nebraska’s winning 400 freestyle relay. Kelsey set a new Big Eight season best time in the 50 freestyle, winning with a time of 20:57. In men’s diving, Kevin McMahon was a double winner, taking firsts on both the one and three-meter spring boards. Melanie Dodd had a perfect day for the women, winning both the 100 and 200 frecstyles. In women’s diving, both Cheryl Harte and Jennifer Hamlcy were win ners. Hartc won the one-meter spring board and Hamley won the three meter springboard. Husker coach Cal Bentz said he was happy with his team’s perfor mances. “All in all we had pleasant im provements, we saw places we could i mprove, and had a good meet,” Bentz said. Nonetheless, Bentz said his team has not come close to reaching its potential. “We can definitely compete,” Bentz said. “This was not a good showing of what we can do.” The Huskers will resume action against Southern Illinois on Friday, the last home meet of the year for Nebraska. Huskers Continued from Page 7 and 18-3 overall, said the Jayhawks needed to play more consistently to win the game. “We took a big step backwards today in the second half," Williams said. “Our team played well in the first half; we were still up nine at the half, but we have to play 40 minutes of basketball.” Kansas’ loss dropped the Jayhawks’ all-time record at the Dcvaney Center to 4-13. Center Derrick Chandler led the Huskcrs in scoring for the second straight game with 19 points. Chandler, who also had 14 re bounds, said the victory over Kansas would serve as a motivational tool. “Itbuildsour confidence and shows the young guys that we can play with anybody when we play together as a team,” he said. Nebraska forwards Eric Piatkowski and Badgctt had 16 and 11 points, respectively. Woodberry led Kansas with 17 points. Nee said Sunday’s win was vital for the Huskers’ chances of returning to the NCAA Tournament fora third straight year. “It’s really a big, big, big win for us; I think itgives us national credibil ity in that we can earn a spot in the NCAAs,” he said. Husker forward Bruce Chubick, who had nine points and 10 rebounds, agreed. “Honestly, if we lost today, I think you kiss the NCAAs goodbye,” Chubick said. "We still don’t have a lock now, but we’re alive.” Badgett Continued from Page 7 “I feel great after this win,” he said. “It was a very big learning experience for me.” Badgett said he thought the victory was a learning experience for all his teammates, and it could be a turning point in the Huskers’ season. Beating the No. 3 team in the na tion would improve the Nebraska’s chances for an NCAA bid, he said. “I think (the victory) helped us come together and start rising,” he said. “Right now it’s time for us to play good basketball and aim for the NCAA." Badgett said th4 Huskers, who improved their record to 15-7 overall and 3-4 in the Big Eight, would need to keep improving and would need five or six more wins to get the bid. Improving defensively would be the key to reluming to the tourna ment, he said. » e P^yed hard defensively to day, ’he said. “Bull think we can play a lot better defensively.”
