NU cross country squads
place high in opening meet
By Tony West
Staff Reporter __
Nebraska’s cross country teams
are making strides of improvement,
Coach Jay Dirksen said.
The cross country runners opened
their season Saturday with the Woody
Greeno Invitational at Pioneers Park.
The women won their meet, which
included Kansas State, Drake, Wich
ita State and Creighton. The men were
edged out by Colorado State.
The men ran against teams from
the schools listed above, along with
North Texas.
Theresa S telling finished second
in the women’s 5,000-meter race with
a time of 17 minutes, 46.1 seconds.
Nine Nebraska women finished in the
top 25.
Along with the team's finishes,
Dirksen said he was especially pleased
with the group effort of his men’s
squad. I
Senior David Iteffa led the Husker
men, finishing fourth overall in the
8,000-meter race with a time of 25
minutes, 20.9 seconds. The top seven
Husker men all finished higher than
29th in the 200-runner race.
“The thing that impressed me about
the men is how they ran together,” he
said. “I was really excited. It was a
great meet.” +
Dirksen said the veterans on his
squad carried his team.
“Experience is starting to pay off,”
he said. “I know we re going to get a
lot of improvement as the year goes
along. But this was a good place to
start.
“The women had better times than
last year, and the men ran better than
we have in several years.”
A number of quality runners con
tributed Saturday, Dirksen said.
“I was really impressed with team
depth,” he said. “The women had nine
runners this year better than our fourth
runner last year ”
Dirksen said both teams could build
on this meet.
“(The runners) thought they had a
good team,” he said. “And this meet
just gets us toned for the rest of the
season.”

Muhammad, who grew up in nearby
Compton, said leaving town with a
victory was the Huskers* only con
cern.
“We just came into the game look
ing for a win, not looking to blow
them out,” Muhammad said.
UCLA coach Terry Donahue said
he wasn’t satisfied with just playing
Nebraska close.
“We had our chances,” Donahue
said. “It’s a shame the damn thing got
away. No one believes in moral victo
ries.”
UCLA was able to keep the game
close with its ability to run the ball.
The Bruins rushed for 192 yards, in
cluding 148 yards on 19 carries by the
freshman Hicks. Osborne said the
Bruins’ running game was difficult to
control.
“The thing that kept us on the ropes
was their running game — we just
couldn’t do a good job of slopping it
for a long period of time,” he said.
“Late in the third quarter and into
the fourth auartcr, we did a pretty
good job on tneir running game, which
really saved our bacon.”
Phillips provided Nebraska with
an outstanding freshman performance
of its own. The native of West Covina
became the third Husker in as many
games to rush for more than 100 yards.
Calvin Jones rushed for 124 yards in
Nebraska’s opener against North Tex
as, and Damon Benning had 127 yards
against Texas Tech.
The Huskers, who improved to 3
0 while UCLA dropped to 0-2, still
have room for improvement, Osborne
said.
“I’ve made some statements earli
er about this being a very good foot
ball team,” Osborne said. “I’m not
sure that right now we’re the same
football team that started the season.
"If anything is going to get their
attention it onoht to he this."
