Gymnasts
score big
in two meets
By Gregg Madsen
Staff Reporter
Saturday night’s dual gymnastics
meet at the Bob Devaney Sports Cen
ter produced mixed results for the
Nebraska men’sand
women’s teams, but
similar reactions
from both Corn-j
husker coaches.
The men’s team,
ranked No. 5 in the
nation, scored its
highest team mark
of the season but
dropped a 231.075
229.075 decision to
No. 1 Ohio State.
At the same time, tfie eighth-ranked
Nebraska women’s team notched the
highest team score in school history
with a 195.75-192 win over Southern
Utah.
Both men’s coach Francis Allen
and women’s coach Dan Kendig were
pleased with the performances.
Kendig said the record-setting score
I didn’t surprise him.
| “I was confident we could shatter
■ the sch(X)l record tonight,” Kcndigsaid.
■ “This being our last home meet seemed
I to inspire everyone.”
| The Huskcrs set school records in
I the floor exercise (49.225) and the
IB uneven bars (49.3), and had a season
high mark in the balance beam
I (48.275).
| Junior Shelly Bartlett took the all
■ around title with a career-best 39.25.
| Senior Joy Taylor finished second at
■ 39.2, and freshman Misty Oxford was
third with a 38.85.
Nebraska gymnasts took first place
in every event. Junior Kim DcHaan
won the floor exercise with a school
record-tying 9.95 and the uneven bars
with a 9.925. Freshman Laurie
McLaughlin won the balance beam
(9.775), and Taylor won the vault with
a 9.850.
Although the Husker men weren’t
nearly as dominating as the women,
Allen said he was encouraged by
Nebraska’s performance against the
Buckeyes.
“I don’t like to lose, especially at
I home,” Allen said. “But I’m handling
this well. To me, this is the best meet of
the year.”
The cause for optimism was the
Huskcrs’ ability to hang with Ohio
State throughout the meet, Allen said.
Nebraska led 115.65-115.62 after three
I events.
“We were in it, no doubt about it,”
■ Allen said. “If we would have gone
| 1 OO.pcrcent on the horizontal bar, we
/could have won it.”
The Huskcrs posted season-high
I marks in the floor exercise (38.975),
pommel horse (38.975) and the still
rings (38.375).
Ohio State junior all-arounder and
Olympic hopeful Blaine Wilson won
theall-around with a 58.625. Nebraska
sophomores Jim Koziol (56.95) and
Bill Mulholland (56.05) finished sec
ond and third, respectively.
True freshmen Marshal l Nelson and
J.D. Reive provided a scoring boost
for the Huskcrs, Allen said. Nelson
scored career highs in the pommel
horse (9.775) and the parallel bars
(9.4).

“We were playing great defense,”
Fresno State coach Jerry Tarkanian
said. “We were executing our offense,
and we were doing some really good
things. Then everything went haywire
for us.”

with 7:41 remaining before Nebraska
rallied, going on a 14-0 run and even
tually taking a 35-34 lead with 4:05

At 126, Jeramie Welder lost two
matches on Thursday, both in the “pig

Thompson will work to regain his
status as the national champion next
year. He won the title in 1994, but lost
it in Minneapolis.
“He came back from something I
can’t describe,” Nebraska coach Tim
Neumann said of Thompson’s third
place performance on Saturday. “I’m
sure he was up soul searching all night
long.”
Thompson wasn ’t the only one soul
searching Friday night. Neumann said
he woke up feelingthe effects of losing
eight matches and four wrestlers from
the tournament on Friday.
“I’ve never known what an anxiety
attack was until Saturday morning,”
Neumann said.

“I felt like we took Fresno’s best
shot at the beginning of the game,”
Nee said. “We calmed down a little bit
and then just started playing basket
ball.”
Vcnson Hamilton scored 12 points,
Terrance Badgett contributed 11
points, and Tom Wald added 10 points
for Nebraska off the bench.
Erick Strickland scored a team-high
