Eierman stays home;
Huskers move ahead
By Antone Oseka
Staff Reporter
As Nebraska coaches wait for a
decision on the eligibility of recently
reinstated Mike
Eierman, they
still have to pre
pare the team to
wrestle this
weekend.
Nebraska travels
to Bloomington,
Ind., Saturday to
wrestle No. 1011
linoisandNo. 12
Neumann Indiana in a
double-dual meet at 2 p.m.
“Mike and the team’s handling it
wellNebraska coach Tim Neumann
said.
Eierman, whose status came under
question after last weekend’s duals
with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State,
will sit out this weekend anxiously
awaiting a verdict, Neumann said. He
was dismissed from the team earlier
this year for disciplinary reasons and
reinstated before last weekend’s du
als.
The controversy stems from a hard
ship year Eierman was granted for the
1993-94 season when his brother’s
girlfriend and one of his best friends
were killed in a car accident. The
hardship was granted by Big Eight
officials.
On second look, the 142-pound
fifth-year senior may not have fit the
qualifications. Ifhe is ruled ineligible,
Nebraska will have to forfeit its win
last weekend over Oklahoma. The
Huskers lost to Oklahoma State.
Freshman Jake Roe will fill the
hole at 142 for Nebraska, while Jason
Kraft takes back his spot at 150 pounds,
where Eierman came away with two
pins last weekend in his first action of
the season.
“We’ll be able to win both duals,”
Neumann said. “Starting four fresh
men makes me nervous, but I’m ex
cited. That’s the future of this team.”
Tenth-rated Brad Canoyer will start
the Huskers out at 118, followed by
Darin Giese or freshman Matt Inffanca
at 126. Then fourth-rated Tony
DeAnda hits the mat for Nebraska at
134 pounds.
Nebraska’s lower weight classes
haven’t fared as well as the higher
weights this season.
“We’re banged up and had tough
competition,” DeAnda said. “Both
have hurt us this year.”
Chris Steele, a freshman, will see
his second week of action for Ne
braska, filling in for injured All-Ameri
can Temoer Terry at 158.
Freshman Kalin Makaiwi will get
his first start at 177 this weekend be
cause ninth-rated Erik Josephson will
be resting after finding a bulged disk
in his back. Josephson also won’t make
the trip.
Fourth-rated 190-pounder Ryan
Tobin and No. 2 heavyweight Tolly
Thompson round out the Husker
lineup.
Mitchell gets
Big 8 honor
for January
From Staff Reports
Nebraska senior shot put and
discus thrower Paulette Mitchell
has been named the Big Eight
track athlete of the month for
January.
The four-time NCAA All
American is continuing her as
sault on the record book. Earlier
this season, she set a Comhusker
and Big Eight record in the shot
put with a toss of 56-feet, 111/
2-inches. That moved her into
sixth place on the all-time colle
giate chart.
Mitchell ranks second nation
ally this season behind UCLA’s
Valeyta Althouse in the shot put.
Althouse recorded a throw of
58-1/2 at a meet earlier this sea
son.
Mitchell, Althouse and South
Carolina’s Dawn Ellerbe, who
is the all-time leader in the 20
pound throw, will battle this
weekend in the Husker Invite at
the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Also this season, Mitchell
broke her own record in the 20
pound weight throw with a heave
of 63-4 1/2, almost four feet
better than her previous personal
best.
She ranks second on the all
time collegiate chart behind
Ellerbe, who earlier this season
recorded a throw of 64-5 1/4.
Huskers
focus on
Wildcats
By Mike Kluck
Senior Reporter
The 12 members of the Ne
braska women’s basketball team
may say they don’t care about
the Big Eight race, but with two
conference games this weekend,
the Comhuskers have a chance
to dramatically improve their
league standing.
The Huskers, who are fourth
in the conference with a 5-4
record and 15-6 overall .mark,
face Kansas State (11-12 and 3
4) at 7 tonight at Bramlage Coli
seum in Manhattan, Kan.
On Sunday, Nebraska will
play Kansas (13-8 and 6-3) at 2
p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse in
Lawrence, Kan. The Jayhawks
are tied for first place in the
conference with Oklahoma State
and Colorado.
Nebraska coach Angela Beck
said it was more important that
the Huskers continued to im
prove their chemistry instead of
spending a great amount of time
focusing on their opponents.
“The unique thing about our
team right now is that really at
any time somebody’s capable of
scoring a lot of points,” Beck
said. “They had been focusing a
lot in the Big Eight on Anna
DeForge early on. Now they’re
going to have to focus their ef
>rts on Tina McClain.”
DeForge led the Huskers in
scoring the first five games of
the season, but has been the lead
ing scorer only once since Big
Eight competition started.
Over the past three games,
McClain has averaged 21 points
per game.
“Our number one focus is
Kansas State,” Beck said. “We
really want to concentrate on
playing well there. We’re going
to stay with the system we have.”
NU runner sprints
to recovery, victory
By Vince D’Adamo
Staff Reporter
Injuries are always a part of sports.
But the best athletes find a way to
overcome those setbacks. Comhusker
sprinter Kathy Travis Miiller is no
__exception.
Muller has re
bounded from
three surgeries on
her foot to achieve
All-American sta
tus in the 4 x 400
and 4 x 100-meter
relay four times.
Her bad foot
caused her to sit
Miiller out the 1993 sea
son, and at times,
Miiller said'she doubted if she could
ever come back.
“The thought crossed my mind
quite a few times,” Miiller said. “I
kept asking,' Is it really worth the pain
of rehabilitation and surgeries?”
The annual Frank Sevigne Husker
Invitational will be held Friday and
Saturday at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center, bringing to Lincoln some of
the world’s top collegiate talent.
Miiller said she welcomed the chal
lenge.
“Husker Invite is one of the high
lights of the indoor season,” Miiller
said. “We really gear up to run our
best performances of the year.”
In addition to winning NCAA and
Big Eight championships in relay
events, Miiller isa two-time Big Eight
55-meter dash champion. She has won
a Big Eight indoor championship in
the 200-meter dash and ran a 6.83
second 5 5-meter dash this year, tied
for the best mark in the nation.
Miiller was a member of the Junior
World Track and Field team in Seoul,
“She wants to he a great
athlete, and she’ll put in
the time to do it. ”
BILLY MAXWELL
Nebraska sprints coach
Korea, in 1992, achieving third place
in the 4 x 400-meter relay.
Husker sprints coach Billy Max
well is in his first year at Nebraska.
The former coach at Louisiana State
and Texas, who has coached more
than 100 All Americans, said he ad
mired Miiller’s character.
“A great athlete is very tenacious.
She has persevered,” Maxwell said.
“She has the attributes of a champion.
That’s the difference between an
NCAA champion and a talented ath
lete.”
Adjusting to coaching styles can
be difficult for any athlete. But Miiller
said she had welcomed Maxwell’s
philosophy.
“He’s a tough coach,” Miiller said.
“He’s brought some fresh ideas.”
Maxwell said it was a privilege to
coach Miiller.
“She definitely leads by example,”
he said. “She’s not a rah-rah type. She
wants to be a great athlete, and she’ll
put in the time to do it.”
Miiller said she believed this sea
son would be one of the most impor
tant seasons in her running career. She
said she hoped her success would earn
her a chance to compete in the Sum
mer Olympics.
“It’s not a thought in my mind right
now,” Miiller said. “But I want to give
it my best shot depending on if my
bones can stay in one piece.”
