Through three events at the
NCAA Championships in Los
Angeles Thursday night, Nebraska
women’s gymnast Heather Brink per
formed like she had all year.
She had herself positioned to be
an All-American in the all-around,
but she came up a little short on her
double layout on the floor exercise
and scored a 9.3 - dropping her to
ninth place in her session and 24th
overall.
“I really had worked hard, and
this was a disappointing way to fin
ish,” Brink said.
Competing individually, Brink
earned second-team All-America
honors in the vault, but she didn’t
meet her goal of earning All-America
status in the all-around.
Coach Dan Kendig said Brink
faced a tough situation not having her
teammates there to cheer her. The
team failed to qualify for the NCAA
Championships after a fifth-place
regional finish.
Brink said the Georgia team
cheered her on, but it wasn’t the same.

“It was really hard without the
team,” Brink said. “A lot harder than I
thought it would be.”
Brink placed 20th on the balance
beam with a 9.8, 14th on the vault
with a 9.85, 37th on the uneven bars
with a 9.825 and 77^ on the floor
exercise with a 9.3. Her all-around
score of38.775 put her in 24th place.
But Kendig said she easily could
have been an All-American.
“She was a step on her landing
away from being an All-American in
three events,” Kendig said.
Although Brink was disappointed
with her performance, Kendig said he
thought Brink would be back with a
vengeance next year.
“Hopefully she will feed on her
disappointment,” Kendig said.

NU signs point guard
A mix-up in the mail has cost one
player a spot on the Nebraska men’s
basketball team and provided an oppor
tunity for another.
Joe Holmes, a point guard from
Tyler (Texas) Junior College, is com
mitted to playing for the Comhuskers
and will sign sometime this week, Tyler
Coach Kyle Kellar said.
“He’s prepared to go to Nebraska,”
Kellar said. “They’re getting a very
good player.”
Holmes is a teammate of fellow NU
recruit Rodney Fields, who committed
to the team last fall. Holmes averaged
10.4 points and 7.9 assists, good for
second in the conference.
The spot for Holmes was left open
when Southwestern College’s Lamont
Perry was passed over by the
Comhuskers because he sent his letter
of intent via the wrong mail system.
