Tough competition at nationals
to give track talents tough run
By Tony West
Staff Reporter
Nebraska track and field coach
Gary Pepin said he hoped both the
men’s and women’s teams would
place in the top 15 at the national
meet in Indianapolis this week
end.
But the Husker men suffered a
drawback when they found out that
high jumper Sheldon Carpenter, a
junior, would not be able to jump
due to a knee injury.
Carpenter was tied for the sec
ond-highest jump in the nation this
season at 7 feet, 4 1/2 inches.
Nebraska’s Petar Malesev, who is
the favorite at nationals, recorded
the highest jump in the nation at 7
feet, 5 3/4 inches.
“It’s very disappointing,” Car
penter said. “This is probably the
most frustrating thing I’ve ever
had to deal with in my life.”
The Comhusker men have nine
athletes competing, while the
women have seven.
And both teams, after winning
the Big Eight title on Feb. 24-25 in
Manhattan, Kan., are expected to
place 12th at the meet, according
to polls.
“The meet is very competitive,”
Pepin said. “But we think that both
of these teams can finish in the top
15.”
Other Husker men competing
this weekend are Robert Thomas
in the long jump; Riley Washing
ton and Byron Topps in the 55
meter dash; Willie Hibler in the
55-meter hurdles; BalaszTolgyesi
in the mile; Marlon Jones in the
800-meter run; and distance med
ley relay team (Renier Henning,
Jones, Chad Jansen, Tolgyesi).
Jansen said he felt the distance
medley team had a good shot at
being in the top five. The relay
team set an all-time Big Eight
record last weekend in Ann Arbor,
Mich., pith its time of 9:39.
“I’m really excited,” he said. “I
think we have a good chance at
being All-Americans.”
On the women’s side, two-time
NCAA All-American Nicola Mar
tial will attempt to become the
Huskers’ first two-time NCAA
triple-jump champion.
Last season, Martial finished
second in the indoor event with the
second farthest jump in school his
tory of 43 feet, 1 inch.
Other Husker women compet
ing are Annette Hall in the 55
meter dash; Julie Mazzitelli in the
3,000-meter run; Angec Henry and
Tashika Lewis in the long jump;
and Paulette Mitchell and Tressa
Thompson in the shot put.
Nebraska women’s gymnastics coach
emphasizes routines, not end results
By Trevor Parks
Staff Reporter
Nebraska women’s gymnastics
coach Dan Kendig said all he wanted
was for his team to hit its routines.
And if that happens, he would be
satisfied no matter what the result in
a battle at No. 1 Georgia this week
end.
The 15th-ranked Cornhuskers
compete in a six-team meet Sunday
at 2 pjn. in Athens, Ga.
Participating in the Bulldog Invi
tational are the host Bulldogs, No. 9
Penn State, California, Massachu
setts and No. 8 UCLA.
The Huskers defeated the Bruins
earlier this year in Lincoln at the
Masters Classic.
Kendig said his team should be
fired up to hit its routines this week
end.
“If we went 24 for 24 on routines,
I would be happy if we finished sixth,”
Kendig said. “We’ve made it a point
to just hit our routines.”
Kendig said it would be a learning

experience to compete in front of an
crowd of approximately 7,000.
“They are going to have a huge
vocal home crowd,” Kendig said.
“It’s going to be intimidating, but I
hope they are a gymnastics-loving
crowd and not a hostile one.”
The biggest crowd Nebraska has
performed in front of all year was
1,360 at Ohio State March 4.
The Huskers are coming off that
meet flying high after scoring a sea
son-high 192.325 at Ohio State.
In that meet, the Huskers set a
school record in the vault with a 48.9.
One area new to the Huskers this
weekend will be having a rest in
between two rotations.
Kendig said he didn’t know if his
team would stay and watch other
routines or leave the arena when it
came time to sit out a rotation.
“It depends on how things are
going,” Kendig said.
“If we can’t get excited, we’re a
dead squad,” Kendig said. “It should
be a great preview for the upcoming
Big Eight and national champion
ships.”
Tennis coach hoping for
get-well Drake victory
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
Nebraska men’s tennis coach
Kerry McDermott is hoping his team
provides him with a get-well gift in
the form of a victory over Drake
Saturday in a 10 a.m. match at the
Bob Devaney Sports Center.
McDermott underwent surgery
Monday for a hernia and did not
return to his office until Thursday.
He will be welcomed back Saturday
by one of the top teams in the region.
“They’re ranked fourth or fifth in
the region and we ’re ninth, so it would
be an upset if we would win,”
McDermott said. “They’re pretty
strong. They beat Colorado 4-3, and
Colorado thumped us out in Las Ve
gas. Considering what they did to
Colorado, it seems unrealistic to think
we can win, but I really believe this is
a winnable dual.”
For Nebraska to pull off the upset,
McDermott said his team must win
the No. 1 and No. 2 singles.
Nebraska’s Andy Davis and
Fredrik Riesbeck will take on the
Bulldogs’ top two single players,
brothers Robert and Rene Novotony.
“Robert Novotony is No. 1 in the
region, and he’s awful tough,”
McDermott said. “Rene plays just
like his brother. But I think we can
win those two spots. I really don’t
think if we don’t win at one and two
that we have a chance.
“But I feel pretty good about our
lower spots. If we could get one and
two, some of Drake’s lower spots
will see that, be somewhat intimi
dated and not play very well.”
First-year assistant coach Dave
Moyer took over this week while
McDermott was gone.
“Dave told me the guys have been
practicing real hard this week,”
McDermott said. “I’m glad that just
because I haven’t been around, they
didn’t slack off or anything. Dave did
a good job getting them ready for
Drake, and now we just have to go
and hopefully play well.”

Husker center Mikki Moore away
from Reeves, who has scored 44 points
in two games against Nebraska this
year. When Nebraska is playing man
to-man, Nee said, Moore will be de
fending a forward, and Melvin Brooks
will challenge Reeves.
Nebraska’s leading scorer, Jaron
Boone, who was named second-team
All-Big Eight earlier this week, said
he was convinced the Huskers would
be prepared this time.
“The coaches came up with a great
game plan,” Boone said, “that I think
can help contain their key players.
We know that we can explode at any
time.
In a do-or-die situation, such as a
tournament, Nee said, he will look to
his experienced players to carry the
load. Don’t be surprised, he said, if
Boone and guard Erick Strickland
play a full 40 minutes — or close to it
— against the Cowboys.
Boone said he was ready to play as
much as necessary.
Preview
Continued from Page 7
“We have joked that maybe
we could bow out of the Big
Eight tourney so we could be
rested,” he said. “Let’s say we
play three games in K.C., which
I hope we do. We have to bus
back to Stillwater and let’s say
we get an (NCAA) assignment
to play on Thursday. We might
have to leave on Tuesday. That
is hard, plus you have the fact
that you have just exhausted so
much energy.”
Roy Williams, the coach of
22-4 and No. 2 Kansas, said the
Big Eight Tournament was an
important part of the Jayhawks’
season. With a good showing
this weekend, he said, Kansas
would likely put itself in a posi
tion to be the No. 1 seed in die
Midwest Regional.
But Williams said he had
always placed more stock in the
regular season than in the Big
Eight Tournament.
“The regular season is over
two to three months and 14
games,” he said. “It’s a more
valid test. And the winner of the
regular-season title is the one
who gets the trophy that says
Big Eight champions.”
For some teams, Sutton said,
the Big Eight Tournament is
beneficial. For instance, he said,
if Nebraska hopes to make the
NCAA Tournament, the Husk
ers probably have to win three
games in Kansas City this week
end.
“The tournament is great for
Nebraska,” Sutton said. “It gives
them an opportunity to win some
more games that they need.”
