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.

The women are going
to have to get it rolling,
or we’re going to have
real problems in the
conference indoor
meets.

“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

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

“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.”
