As much as I’d like to congratulate Dan Kendig and the Nebraska team, it’s too early to put much stock into this ranking. But many are very excited about one new Cornhusker …
… Nebraska freshman Jessie DeZiel broke the freshman all-around record for a season-opening meet with a 39.575. DeZiel was just .250 off the Husker all-around record of 39.825 set by Richelle Simpson in 2003. DeZiel also won the floor exercise with a 9.925.
“She warmed up just OK, and kind of halfway did some things, but when the flag went up, she was all business,” Kendig said. “She is that talented, and I am sure hoping she can stay that way.”
DeZiel competed in the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, helping the American team to the gold medal. …
Recall that Richelle Simpson was an NCAA AA Champion.
One more bizarre stat. Nebraska right now has the TOP 4 AA gymnasts. That must be a first.
They competed only 7 gymnasts, a feat called by Balance Beam Situation both impressive and unsustainable.
