Huskers compete
in three meets
By Vince D*Adamo
Staff Reporter
For the second time in as many
weeks, the Nebraska men’s and
women’s track and field teams will
compete in three different meets over
the weekend.
But two of those meets are the most
prestigious outdoor events of the sea
son.
NU will send 25 Comhuskers to
compete at the 88th annual Drake Re
lays today and Saturday in Des Moines,
Iowa.
The most notable NU athletes mak
ing the trip east to Drake Stadium are
long jumper Angee Henry, a two-time
NCAA long jump champion, and 1997
NCAA Indoor shot put champion
Tressa Thompson. Drake officials ex
pect more than 2,700 athletes from
more than 340 schools to compete.
Although the Drake Relays present
quality competition, NU Coach Gary
Pepin said the meet leaves a little to be
desired.
“It’s kind of disappointing,” Pepin
said. “For example you have Sherri
Macfee as a Big 12 Indoor champion
who’s been running well and she
couldn’t get in.”
Macfee is the, defending indoor
champion in the women’s 1,000-meter
run. Also, the Drake Relays do not
offer every event — such as the
women’s 200-meter dash.
Most NU sprinters and hurdlers will
travel to Franklin Field in Philadelphia
for the 103rd annual Penn Relays. Last
year, more than 86,000 fans attended
the prestigious meet.
The NU women’s 4 X 400-meter
relay team, which placed third at the
NCAA Indoor Championships, led the
way.
“They’re all healthy,” Pepin said.
“We haven’t put them all together.”
The Husker athletes who did not
meet entrance requirements for the
Drake and Penn Relays will compete
at the Missouri-Kansas City Invite on
Saturday at the UMKC Track, a meet
which offers every event.
For that reason, Pepin said, in
some cases athletes are better served
competing in this meet because it is
similar to a conference meet.
“It makes a lot of difference,”
Pepin said. “In the Midwest you only
have so many days of good weather.
You can’t just skirt around it and all
of the sudden say you’re going to run
your event.”
Defense seeks good end
GAME from page 10
if Terrell Farley catches on — to the
NFL, the defense appears ready to pick
up where it left off last season, when
NU ranked in the nation’s top seven in
all four major statistical categories*. -
Osborne mentioned linebackers
Jay Foreman, Brian Shaw and Eric
Johnson; defensive backs Jerome
Peterson, Eric Warfield and Mike
Brown and linemen Chad Kelsay,
Mike Rucker and Jason Wiltz among
those who have impressed coaches this
spring.
“A lot of guys who never really had
any game experience have come in and
played really well in spring ball,”
Wistrom said. “Their intensity has been
great. Everybody has come out with the
right attitude every day.”
And a successful showing Saturday,
he said, can cap the spring on a sensa
tional note.
“With this group, you don’t have
to show a lot of vocal leadership,”
Wistrom said. “You can lead by ex
ample. And it’s always more fun with
people in the stands. Hopefully, we can
put on a good show for them.”
