But the Comhuskers battled back and salvaged a 2-2 tie against the Huskies, who finished second to North Carolina during the 1997 NCAA Championships. This never-say-die attitude has Coach John Walker pleased with the progress of his underclass players this spring. “In the last month, the team has really grown up,” Walker said. “We have played the top three teams in the country, and given a couple odd breaks we easily could have won two of the games.” After falling behind 2-0 in Sunday’s game, Walker said, the Huskers played in Connecticut’s end of the field nearly the entire second half. “It took us awhile to finally even up the game, but we were putting a lot of pressure on them,” Walker said. Jenny Benson scored NU’s first goal on a cross from Lindsay Eddleman. Then Sandy Smith scored the game-tying goal. Walker said Eddleman and Becky Hogan did a good job of com pensating for Engesser’s loss. He also said Julie Greco and Lauren Tatum stepped up and contributed offensively. Although it was only a spring game, Walker said it felt like a fall game. “It had fast-paced, end-to-end action,” Walker said. “It was exhaust ing.” After playing the top three teams in the country the last three weeks, the Huskers return to action Saturday against Creighton at the Abbott Sports Complex. Despite losing his first senior class, Walker said this spring has been the best he’s seen for progress and improvement. “In the past we had to react to top teams,” Walker said. “This spring we’ve just played and competed at a high level.” I Huskers find success in California By Darren Ivy Assignment Reporter Competing against some of the best athletes in the nation helped members of the Nebraska track and field teams perform at new levels Friday through Saturday at three separate California meets. Of the 16 athletes who competed at the Mt. Sac Relays, Long Beach Invitational and Pomona-Pitzer Invitational, 15 posted personal-best marks in at least one event, said Matt Martin, Nebraska’s recruiting coor dinator. “For Nebraska track, it was a sign of what we should be able to do against Big 12 and national competi tion,” Martin said. Cornhusker athletes posted two automatic national qualifying marks and seven provisional qualifying marks. Senior distance runner Cleophas Boor rewrote the school record book in the 10,000 meters with an auto matic national qualifying time of 28 minutes, 50 seconds. He shattered Wally Duffy’s 1984 school-record time of 29:22.6 en route to finishing seventh in the special invitational race. He was the third collegian in the race. “I wasn’t sure how fast I was going to run,” Boor said. “I was hop ing I would run 29:10 or better.” Boor came through the 5,000 meter mark at 14:09, which is a pro visional qualifying mark in that race. “I didn’t know how fast I came through,” Boor said. “I was just try ing to concentrate on my race.” ■ Tressa Thompson, NU’s senior All-American thrower, finished sec ond in the special invitational shot put with an automatic-qualifying throw of 58-3 and won the discus with a 172-3 toss. Erin Wibbels and Doreen Heldt qualified provisionally in the ham mer throw with 186-10 and 181 heaves, respectively. Freshman Amy Wiseman and senior Christina Blackmer gave Nebraska a one-two finish in the col legiate 5,000-meter run. Wiseman won in 16:31.2, and Blackmer was second with 16:31.85. NU junior Shane Lavy finished second place in the high jump (7 4>/2) after losing in a jump off. Joe Erdkamp, a junior from Papillion, threw 194-2 in the discus at the Pomona meet. “It was a great meet for us,” Martin said. “It gives us a measuring stick of how we stack up.” EXTRA MONEY ■ ’ ‘ ' % -TVi , ! as.- -.45 . : vrti »■! jl -.1 PI 1^1 I'-'1 V i | f '1 PI ? ■ -.i r 4 ASSIST MBMCAL RESEARCH Before any consumer product or pharmaceutical can be marketed, it must be thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness. We’ve been conducting clinical testing at MDS Hanrif since 1969. In that time, we’ve become M _ one of the largest and most respected independent testing laboratories in the world. ^R^B^E JARP HARMS TESTING PAYS RAMIlfl Participating in a research study at MDS Harris is an easy way to earn extra money—up to $100 a day!
