Snow, golf Nyquist’s loves NYQUIST from page 10 graduating from high school in 1994, Nyquist spent two years deciding what she wanted to do with her life. Then, in 1996, she was referred to NU by men’s golfer Mikkel Haug. Nyquist visited Nebraska and liked what she saw. “If it hadn’t been for Mikkel, I would have never have come here,” Nyquist said. “It turned out to be a great place for me to play and study.” Unlike most college students, Nyquist enjoys the fact that Lincoln is not a hotbed for nighttime activity. “There aren’t a lot of distractions , here, which is good for me,” she said. Ineed time to study and to get every thing done in my classes.” And of course, she loves the miser able winters. “I really need a break from golfing because there are other things that I like to do,” Nyquist said. “I don’t think I would want to golf all year-round.” Despite this being her first year of collegiate golf, Nyquist is no stranger to tough competition. She has been a major part of the Norway National Golf « Hanne has as much potential as any player in the country right now. ” Robin Krapfl NU women’s golf coach Team since she was 14, and has com peted in tournaments all over Europe. That experience helped Nyquist at the Utah-Dixie Classic on April 9, she said. Nyquist made a 20-foot downhill putt on the tournament’s final hole to seal a two-stroke win. Krapfl said Nyquist’s mental tough ness loomed large in her performance. “She has so much mental strength for a freshman,” Krapfl said. “She doesn’t let one thing bother into the next hole. That’s the key for her.” Nyquist also said her length has helped to make other parts of her game easier. “I’ve been able to hit the ball a little farther than most people,” Nyquist said. “There’s a big difference between hitting a 7-iron into the green and hit ting 5-iron into the green.” Nyquist hopes to use that to her advantage as the Huskers enter their most important tournament of the year at the Big 12 Championships in Lawrence, Kan. Having won the team title at the Big 12 Fall Preview in No vember, Nyquist said she is confident NU can win again. “If you would have told me in the fall we’d win the Big 12 preview, I’m not sure I would have believed it,” Nyquist said. “Now, I know we can beat these teams. We’ve already beaten them once.” I NU wants in Super Six GYM from page 10 “I’ve never been to Florida so I have no idea what to expect,” Wilkinson said. “I know the crowd at regionals kind of prepared us for this.” Wilkinson stepped in for Dillman at Salt Lake City and fin ished third in the all-around behind Utah’s Angie Leonard and Nebraska’s Shelly Bartlett. Kendig said Wilkinson has a good chance to finish high in the all around championship, which are decided from Thursday’s team pre liminaries. The top four finishers in each event advance to the individual events finals Saturday. Wilkinson, a native of London, Ontario, said the Huskers can ad vance if they hit 100 percent of their routines. “I know that if we go out there and hit our routines, then we’ll be all right,” Wilkinson said. “That’s really all we can do.” Hitting routines is what Utah Coach Greg Marsden said he hopes his eighth-seeded Utes will do. “You just have to go and com pete and do a good job,” Marsden said. “I’ve finally just learned not to worry about anything else. If you hit your stuff, you’re fine. We try to focus on what we can control and that’s to just try and be sharp.” The Utes have qualified for the NCAA Tournament in all of Mardsen’s 22 years as head coach. During that time, Utah has won 10 National Titles and the gymnasts have earned 165 All-American awards. He said this is one of the most talented 12-team fields he’s seen in that time. “There’s a lot of improved teams in both sessions,” he said. “It’s go ing to be hard to get out of either one of them.” Marsden said each of the six teams in the afternoon session have the potential to advance. He said 1996 NCAA runner-up UCLA and third-place finisher Georgia have an inside track to the title. The Gym Dogs were ranked No. 1 all year and set a new NCAA record team score of 198.475 against No. 4 Michigan. EU<«»«c 1325 O St ;I: i a m THURSDAY NIGHT: | F*j $2.00 YOU CALL IT!! THAT'S RIGHT!
