It is obvious in the last month that Luke Wertz is NU's best pitcher. With the struggles of Watson, I wonder how long it will be before Wertz starts pitching on Friday nights, Dorn on Saturdays, and Watson, Foust, or Shirek on Sunday?

Randal Carter of Papillion was the highlight of this year's 2007 Nebraska Track meet. He cleared 7'4" and just missed the national record when he attempted 7'5 1/2". The Olympic qualifying heighth is 7'4 1/2".

Omaha Central won Class A over Kearney. Omaha Central freshman Stephon Washington beat Niles Paul in the 300 intermediate hurdles with times of 38.327 and 38.349.

The Loomis boy's team won their fourth championship in 11 years. Lance Thorell won both hurdle events, was fourth in the long jump and fifth in the 400.

Those present at the Class B shotput said that Luke Pinkleman pumped out a 66' throw and his first complete warmup. He won the all-class gold with a throw of over 63'.

Millard North's Kianna Elahl broke the 300 intermediate hurdle state record on Saturday.

Omaha Central's Jasmine Johnson broke the girl's 400 meter record with a time of 55.76.

Drew Anderson from Kearney is only batting .178 for Milwaukee's AAA club this year. Brandon Buckman, who is playing for the Cardinals's A club, has nine home runs, 13 doubles, 37 runs batted in, and a .333 batting average.

Wow! High jumping 7'4". I can barely touch that height with my hand. Amazing!
