NotiCe of NCAA ProbAtioN

From 2007 to 2010 the University of Nebraska unintentionally reimbursed student-athletes for recommended textbooks as well as required textbooks through a failure to properly administer and monitor book scholarships. Only reimbursement for required books is permissible under NCAA rules. As a result, the NCAA placed the University of Nebraska on two-year probation, beginning in January of 2012. The NCAA did not impose additional penalties such as loss of scholarships, forfeiture of games, or a ban on postseason play. Rather, as a condition of probation, Nebraska will continue to educate student-athletes and staff thoroughly on NCAA bylaws and will notify prospective student-athletes of its probationary status.

2013-14 Husker Rifle2

SmallboreCourse of Fire – In smallbore three-position rifle, athletes fire .22 caliber rifles from the kneeling, prone, and standing (also called off hand) positions at targets 50 feet away.

Rifle – Smallbore rifles may not exceed 17.6 pounds by NCAA regulations.

Time – Competitors have 105 minutes for 20 record shots in the kneeling position, 20 record shots in the prone position and 20 record shots in the standing position.

Perfect Match Score – A perfect match score of 600 is the maximum for smallbore.

Air rifle – A gun that uses a .177 caliber lead pellet propelled by compressed air instead of a gunpowder charge. The rifles can weigh up to 12.12 pounds.

Cleaned – A perfect target, in which the shooter hits a 10 on each of the 10 targets on the sheet for a score of 100. Can also be used to refer to a perfect match.

Front sight – The sight attached to the end of the barrel of the rifle, holding the front aperture.

Electronic Targets – A target system that uses microphones and sound waves from the bullet or pellet going through the paper to send to a monitor on each point.

Iron sights – S ights that employ no magnification.

Kneeling – Shooting from a kneeling position with a sling and kneeling roll to support the position.

Off hand – The unsupported standing position.

Perfect match score – In air rifle and smallbore, 600 is perfect.

Plug – A metal device used to score targets. Variations include the “inward plug” and “outward plug.” With the inward plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outside edge of the plug with the inside of the next highest scoring ring. With an outward plug, the score is determined by the contact point of the outer edge of the plug with the inside of the next lowest scoring ring.

Prone – Shooting from a lying position.

Record shots – Also known as “shots for record,” those shots that are counted toward the match score, with “sighters” not included.

Relay – One group of shooters firing the match at the same time.

Shooting glove – A padded glove, with or without fingers, used to ensure the comfort of the non-dominant hand (i.e., a right-handed shooter wears a glove on the left hand) as the shooter supports the rifle.

Shooting jacket – The jacket is made of leather or canvas and provides support and pads the shooter to minimize the effect of pulse and recoil. There are strict guidelines regarding the thickness.

Shooting boots – Boots designed for rifle shooting. They have the toe end of the sole and the heel cut flat for stability.

Air RifleCourse of Fire – Competitors stand and shoot lead pellets from .177 caliber rifles at targets 10 meters away.

Rifle – Air rifles can be either air or gas powered and weigh up to 12.12 pounds by NCAA regulations.

Time – Competitors have 75 minutes to fire 60 shots from the standing position.

Perfect Match Score – A perfect match score of 600 is the maximum for air rifle.

Shooting trousers – Snug canvas and/or leather pants usually worn over running tights or sweatpants. They often have padded reinforcements sewn on both knees and the seat to prevent the slipping of elbows and knees when firing from the kneeling position.

Sighting shots – Practice shots taken before going “for record.” Sighting shots are unlimited and may be fired before the beginning of each position. Once a position’s first record shot has been fired, no further sighting shots are permitted.

Sling – Adjustable strap with buckle adjustments and arm cuffs that provide stability. A sling is attached to the rifle and helps to support it in prone and kneeling positions.

Smallbore – A .22 caliber gun with an iron sight used in competition. It can be customized with special accessories and/or alterations (barrel length and style, stock, design, etc.) to fit the shooter’s needs and comforts.

open target with a clean piece of paper after every shot. Four microphones in the electronic targets sense the precision of the shot, transmitting the information to an online computer monitor.

“Our facility provides several advantages and the first is when you’re training. Our target scoring system gives you an immediate and extremely accurate visual feedback on your shot without the old time hassles of reeling in and inspecting targets. This feedback

also means our shooters can train more effectively and efficiently.

“The second advantage is the range is located right on campus. Our shooters have lots of time demands from training, classes, studying, and competing - so closer saves time. “Finally, we also have the added benefit of a nicely equipped rifle athlete lounge next to the range. It’s a great spot for team members to relax, hang out, or study.”

The NU Rifle Range offers the best electronic targeting and state-of-the-art technology for Husker student-athletes to maximize their potential.

“Our target scoring system gives you an immediate and extremely accurate

visual feedback on your shot without the old time hassles of reeling in and inspecting targets. This feedback also

means our shooters can train more effectively and efficiently. They can make the minor adjustments to

their shot protocol without breaking down their

positions and immediately know the results of these

adjustments.” Coach Stacy Underwood

In April 2006, Nebraska became just the second university in the nation to add electronic targets to its rifle facilities. First seen only in international and Olympic competition, the electronic targets were added to the U.S. Air Force Academy’s facilities before the Huskers adopted the new technology.

Electronic targeting enables shooters to aim at only one target instead of 10 different targets. The machine contains a roll of black paper, which refills the

NU RIFLE RANGEINTRODUCTION


huskers AiM for ANother NCAA toP 10 fiNish After an impressive head coaching debut for Stacy Underwood in her first season at the helm for NU in 2012-13, the former two-time All-America shooter for the Huskers hopes for continued improvement in 2013-14. Nebraska notched a 24-5 overall record in Underwood’s first season, doubling the Huskers’ win total from 2011-12. Nebraska increased its season combined scoring average by nearly 30 points, while qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the first time in three seasons. The Huskers capped Underwood’s inaugural head coaching campaign with a seventh-place NCAA finish, while three NU shooters captured All-America honors. “Last year’s team laid a great foundation for the culture we wanted to create as a program. They fully committed to the process and our training philosophy which led us back to the NCAA Championships,” Underwood said. A trio of upperclass shooters led by seniors Sunny Russell and ReAnn Wilson along with junior Kelsey Hansen, will try to help the Huskers to even greater success in 2013-14. The three most experienced Huskers will be joined by four sophomores, including 2013 All-American Denise Martin, in welcoming a trio of freshmen to this year’s team. “I expect this year’s team to continue with [the] same commitment to success [as last year’s team]. We have changed some of our training philosophies to reflect some of the format and rule changes in our sport this year. However, we are still a prepared and disciplined team that will compete with fearlessness,“ Underwood said. Russell, one of Nebraska’s top shooters, is expected to lead by example on the range and in the classroom as a senior. The Texan earned Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2012 and 2013. Russell owns more collegiate experience than any other Husker and could contend for All-America honors as a senior.

“As soon as the NCAA Championships were over, Sunny was already discussing ideas for the upcoming season,” Underwood said. “Her passion to lead our program will help our team reach our goals.” Wilson, known for her outstanding work ethic, will be expected to help lead a young Nebraska team. “ReAnn truly puts the team before herself,” Underwood said. “She is continually looking for ways to help the team.” Hansen, a North Dakota native, is expected to be influential both on and off the range after qualifying for the NCAA Championships and capturing academic All-Big Ten honors as a sophomore in 2012-13. “Kelsey will be a key competitor in our lineup,” Underwood said. “Although Kelsey is a quiet individual, her performances speak loudly about the type of competitor she is.” Martin, a returning All-American after finishing fifth in smallbore as a freshman at the 2013 NCAA Championships, hopes to contend on the national level again in 2013-14. Martin, who also won a pair of individual air rifle titles

during the regular season, will look for even greater success as a sophomore. The Chewelah, Wash., native is joined in NU’s sophomore class by Magadalena Mical, Alexandrea Lorentz and Marissa Major. Mical captured one combined title for the regular season, before firing a smallbore season-best 579 to help lock in NU’s spot at the NCAA Championships at the NCAA Qualifier. The Florida native could continue to see significant improvement after coming to NU as a relatively inexperienced smallbore competitor. Lorentz, a sophomore from Anchorage, Alaska, was also relatively inexperienced as a freshman. Underwood said Lorentz continued to improve throughout her freshman season because of her competitiveness. “Alex had a great rookie season all the way around,” Underwood said. “Her competitive nature and strong work ethic will keep her pushing our team all the way to the NCAA Championships.” Major, an Arvada, Colo., native, made 10 appearances last year and earned academic honors. “I am excited to see her start to put all the pieces together this season,” Underwood said. “Her positive attitude is always appreciated on the range and later in the season, her hard work started to pay off.” Freshmen Lauren Phillips, Jaycee Carter and Rachel Martin will try to provide immediate contributions for the Huskers. Phillips brings a strong competitive spirit, according to Underwood. The freshman from Seabeck, Wash., was the 2013 Washington Junior Precision Air Rifle champion. Carter comes to Nebraska from California and brings extensive experience. She finished as the top J2 at the 2012 Junior Olympic National Shooting Air Gun Championships. Rachel Martin also has extensive experience. The New Mexico native competed internationally in the summer of 2013, and was

greAt AMeriCA rifle CoNfereNCeNebraska joined the Great America Rifle Conference in 2004-05 after seven years as an independent program. The conference, which enters its 17th year of operation,

includes Nebraska, Army, Kentucky, Memphis, Mississippi, West Virginia, Navy and North Carolina State. Before joining the organization, the Huskers faced nearly a month-long break between qualifiers and the NCAA Championships. As a member of the GARC, Nebraska now has the opportunity to compete for the conference championship in the interim, allowing it to gauge its performance before heading to nationals. In the eight seasons since joining the GARC, Nebraska has finished as high as a program-best second place at the ensuing NCAA Championships. For more information visit the conference web site at GARCRifle.com.

Nebraska earned GARC team champion-ships in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons.

COACH STACY UNDERWOOD

GettinG to Know CoaCh StaCy UnderwoodQ: What is your coaching philosophy?A: My philosophy stems from the unique rigors of the sport I love to coach. Rifle is the only NCAA sport where you compete against yourself without awareness of how your fellow competitors are doing, until you’re finished. Only then are scores compared. So my athletes have to be totally self-contained – in motivation, discipline and focus. Even more, my athletes have to be supremely calm. A minute waver of even hundredths of a millimeter at the rifle barrel end can throw a shot way off a center target that’s the size of a pin head at 10 meters away. Very slight differences in breathing, heart rate, pulse strength, and muscle twitch amplify that waver. Finally, rifle is a sport of slight differences. A perfect individual match score is 1200 points. A perfect team score is 4800 points. Perform at 96 percent of perfection and you’ll be marginally competitive. Perform at 98 percent of perfection and you’ll be setting NCAA records. It’s in that two percentage point spread that you find greatness in rifle. So, given these rigors I’ve organized my coaching philosophy around the idea of “just 1 percent more”. I’m asking each team member to give just 1 percent more in all areas- academics, personal development and performance. Sounds simple, but think about what’s involved. Every team member has to deliver. To deliver, they’ll have to organize all the areas of their lives so they’re always ready mentally and physically. Any issues that come up can be referenced by “what will get us just 1 percent more”. They can learn from each other what works. Their lives - mind and body - will be in sync and at peace. That will give them calm. So my efforts will focus on helping each one achieve their goal. I expect great individual surprises, and from that, a great team result.

Q: How did your experience as a competitor at Nebraska prepare you for coaching?A: First, I learned the power of a rich, successful athletic tradition. It’s everywhere you turn on campus and in town. I did not want to disappoint that tradition, and I hoped one day to return and continue that legacy as a coach. Second, I got my first glimpse of the importance of organizing my life, so I was ready to compete. I was helped enormously by the responsive staff and coaching resources available to me at will. I’m so thankful my team can count on the same.

Q: What did you take away from your time as an assistant at Kentucky that you hope to bring to the range at Nebraska? A: When you assist under a rifle sport legend like Coach Mullins you absorb much more than you realize. At Kentucky I saw again the power of a proud, successful tradition. I learned recruiting. Coach Mullins is a master at working connections. I work on that skill every day. I also learned the importance of listening to other viewpoints. Even with a 25-year history of success, Coach Mullins encouraged me to try new ideas. Finally, I learned that while tradition and potential are nice, lasting success comes from a constant commitment to hard work from all the influences that may affect team performance.

Q: What do you look for when recruiting a shooter?A: If a recruit is already shooting at 98 percent of perfection, they should want the superb individual support and team atmosphere we can deliver to keep them consistent. If a recruit is shooting at 95 percent plus of perfection, I want to see the indicators in their history and values that clearly show they will do what’s needed to add “just 1 percent more” each year.

ADMINISTRATION

Shawn Eichorst was named the 14th Director of Athletics of the University of Nebraska by Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Oct. 4, 2012. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity athletic teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees. Eichorst succeeded legendary Nebraska football coach and Athletic Director Tom Osborne and officially assumed his duties on Jan. 3, 2013.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to join the University of Nebraska family,” Eichorst said. “Nebraska is an outstanding academic institution with one of the strongest athletic departments in all of college sports,” Eichorst said. “Most importantly, everyone here is committed to keeping the welfare of our student-athletes at the heart of everything we do. I am humbled by the responsibility and opportunities that lie ahead and will work diligently to carry on the rich tradition of Husker excellence set forth by Coach Osborne and so many others.”

Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman said it was Eichorst’s commitment to putting student-athletes first that made Eichorst stand out.

“When I asked him how I would be able to measure his success if he were here five years from now,” Perlman said, “his response was that if the coaches and student-athletes had been successful and nobody knows his name, it would be a success.”

Although his preference is to serve and lead diligently from the background, Eichorst has already canvassed the state promoting Husker Athletics and Nebraska’s tremendously talented student-athletes making more than 70 appearances across Nebraska and visiting eight other states in just his first seven months. Eichorst emphasizes academics first and is proud to acknowledge Nebraska’s nation-leading 307 Academic All-Americans, including five who earned the honor in 2012-13. In fact, he has invited all of the academic honor winners back to campus for a reunion in November. He has met with each college dean on campus and uses his monthly radio show and his Connecting on Campus column to promote campus, coach and student-athlete academic and community successes. More than 200 Husker student-athletes were honored at the academic recognition banquet this spring while 188 were named Academic All-Big Ten in 2012-13.

During Eichorst’s first semester at Nebraska in the spring of 2013, women’s bowling, coached by legend Bill Straub, won a national title and Rhonda Revelle’s

softball team advanced to the Women’s College World Series.

The women’s basketball team, coached by Connie Yori, completed a run to the Sweet 16 for the second time in program history and the women’s tennis team, coached by Scott Jacobson, made an appearance in the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history and earned a share of the Big Ten title. Tennis player Mary Weatherholt finished runner-up at the NCAA Singles Championship, the highest-ever finish for a Nebraska tennis player.

In addition to women’s tennis, two other Nebraska teams added Big Ten titles in the spring of 2013, as the women’s gymnastics team, coached by Dan Kendig, won its second-straight Big Ten title and third-straight conference title overall. The men’s track and field team, coached by Gary Pepin, claimed the outdoor team title.

This fall, three facility projects will be completed: Memorial Stadium, which expands to accommodate more than 90,000 football fans and will include the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) and the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3) research facilities; Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln, where the Husker men’s and women’s basketball teams will be permanent tenants; and the renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center, where volleyball, men’s and women’s gymnastics and the wrestling team will now compete. Construction for each of these three facilities began with Coach Osborne at the helm. Athletic Director Emeritus Osborne continues to provide Eichorst with counsel on a number of items including the East Stadium research initiatives. The collaborative research that will take place within an athletic facility shared by academics and athletics is believed to be the first of its kind and sets the tone for the leadership role Nebraska has taken in the Big Ten Conference and nationally.

Eichorst came to Nebraska after spending 18 months as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. He was named the 12th Director of Athletics at Miami on April 12, 2011 and served until Oct. 4, 2012 when he was hired by Nebraska as a Special Assistant to Chancellor Perlman.

In his first year as Director of Athletics at Miami, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation as well as the fan base. Under his watchful eye, the Hurricane Club grew by more than 500 members, surpassing 5,000 members nationwide. More than $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12 and an additional $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised toward the new Center for Athletic Excellence facility, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2013.

During his tenure, both the Hurricane men’s and women’s basketball programs advanced to the postseason, with the women posting the highest national ranking in school history at No. 5, advancing to the NCAA Second Round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the fourth straight season and the baseball program extended its NCAA postseason appearances streak to 40 consecutive seasons. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA postseason win in program history, while the volleyball team advanced to the NCAA postseason for the third straight year and

finished the season ranked 15th in the nation. Before his appointment at Miami, Eichorst served

from 2009 to 2011 as the Deputy Athletics Director at the University of Wisconsin, where his responsibilities under Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez included serving as the department’s Chief Operating Officer and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the highly successful athletics program. At Wisconsin, Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility completed in the fall of 2012, as well as with the Student-Athlete Performance Center in the north end zone of Camp Randall Stadium. He joined the Badgers’ staff in 2006 as a Senior Associate Athletics Director and was promoted to Executive Associate Athletics Director in 2007.

Eichorst has experience with three BCS conference institutions previously serving as University of South Carolina’s Senior Associate Athletics Director for Administration from 2004 to 2006. With the Gamecocks, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised the football and baseball programs. The football team was bowl-eligible each year during Eichorst’s tenure, and the baseball program competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a state-of-the-art football training facility.

Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at his alma mater, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater until 2003. Under his tenure, UW-Whitewater developed into one of the nation’s top Division III athletic programs, with four top 10 percent National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Directors Cup finishes; one NCAA team championship; two NCAA team runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 38 Academic All-America selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans.

A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, a three-time letterwinner and 1990 team captain for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater football team. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette University in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee before accepting the position at Wisconsin-Whitewater.

He is a past member of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee and State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He also previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette University Law School, where he taught classes in sports law. He currently serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors.

In 2006, he was awarded the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year by Marquette. He also is a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee.

Eichorst and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennett.

No. 7 NCAA fiNish CAPs uNderwood’s first seAsoN with huskers

SEASON REVIEW

The Nebraska rifle team entered a new era in 2012-13, when first-year head coach Stacy Underwood took the helm of the traditionally strong Husker program.

A former Husker standout on the rifle range, Underwood brought her philosophy of giving “just one percent more” to an NU squad that did not qualify for the NCAA Championships the previous two seasons.

The Huskers responded in a big way to Underwood’s leadership, finishing with a 24-15 overall record and a 20-6 regular-season mark. The team doubled its win total from the previous season (10-15-1) while increasing its season combined scoring average to 4,641 points per match - nearly 30 points higher than the 2011-12 season.

The Big Red opened the season with a pair of statement wins, defeating NC State and a top-five squad Alaska-Fairbanks squad at home for a 2-0 start in October. NU encountered an early battle with Alaska-Fairbanks in its second match of 2012. The squads tied with identical scores of 4,641 on the day, but the Huskers won the tiebreaker by a 255-249 margin to secure the victory. Freshman Denise Martin won a pair of individual air rifle titles in the two matches, while Katelyn Woltersdorf was the squad’s top smallbore shooter between both days.

NU returned to the range one week later for an early season test against Kentucky. The Huskers recorded a new season-high score of 4,643 but were unable to overcome the Wildcats, who earned a 4,666 on the day. Sunny Russell led NU with a career-best 581 in smallbore, while Janine Dutton became the first Husker of the season to equal the 590 mark on the air rifle range. The Huskers followed up the next weekend with their third win of the season, a 4,641-4,621 victory over Ole Miss. Dutton snagged top honors in air rifle and combined shooting.

The Huskers took two weeks off from competition before traveling to Columbus, Ohio for a pair of quad matches at Ohio State. NU notched a second-place performance on Nov. 10, earning a 4,642 to finish behind TCU (4,708) and ahead of Nevada and Ohio State. Dutton led Nebraska to a first-place showing the next day, topping the field in smallbore and combined shooting as the Huskers earned a 4,639.

Air Force came to Lincoln for Nebraska’s final match of the fall on Nov. 17. Although Dutton took home the smallbore title and freshman Magdalena Mical claimed the combined title, the Huskers fired their lowest output of the season in a 4,650-4,622 loss to the Falcons.

A midseason break and some extra training aided the Huskers when they returned to the range in January. Although NU fell in

consecutive matches against Air Force and West Virginia, the squad earned two of their highest scores of the season. Most notable was NU’s effort against West Virginia on Jan. 19, when the Big Red fired its best score of the 2012-13 season at 4,661. Dutton posted scores of 580 in smallbore and 591 in air rifle, while Woltersdorf added an identical 591 in air rifle to help lead the Huskers.

Nebraska followed up with a strong showing at the annual Roger Withrow Invitational, hosted by Murray State. The Huskers posted a 4,639 to lead both weekends of competition and earn a first-place finish in the eight team field. Senior Joyce Kim paced the Big Red with a meet-best 582 on the smallbore range, earning her an individual title. NU wrapped up its regular season two weeks later, falling to Army at home by a final margin of 4,645-4,631.

NCAA Qualifier action opened postseason competition for the rifle team on Feb. 17. Ranked eighth nationally entering the weekend, the Huskers needed a solid performance to secure a spot in the eight-team NCAA Championship field. The 2012-13 squad delivered, earning one of its top efforts of the season at 4,650 to finish second behind Jacksonville State. Just three days later, NU officially earned a berth in the national championship competition for the first time since 2010.

The Huskers followed up with a stellar outing at the GARC Championships on Feb. 22-24, capturing a 4,647 to finish third behind eventual national champion West Virginia (4,705) and runner-up Kentucky (4,690). Martin

and Woltersdorf shined on the smallbore range, earning identical scores of 580, while junior ReAnn Wilson posted a career-high 589 in air rifle.

NU closed the 2012-13 campaign at the NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio on March 8-9. The Huskers shot on par with their season average at 4,643 to notch a seventh-place finish overall. West Virginia took top honors at the meet with a mark of 4,679, while Kentucky finished second with a 4,670.

Martin shattered her career high on the smallbore range, firing her way to a 583 and a berth in the NCAA smallbore finals. The freshman posted a 680.9 to finish fifth overall, the highest for a Husker smallbore competitor since Kristina Fehlings in 2005.

Woltersdorf added a 590 in air rifle competition, locking her in a three-way tie for a spot in the discipline final. She earned a 52 to advance out of the shoot-off and participate in the finals, where she posted a score of 103.5 to finish sixth nationally in the event.

NU hauled home multiple honors in the postseason, including a pair of Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) awards for seniors Dutton and Woltersdorf. Dutton was a second-team All-GARC selection in air rifle and earned honorable-mention laurels in combined shooting, while Woltersdorf was an honorable-mention pick in smallbore. Underwood was also voted GARC Coach of the Year by fellow conference coaches after leading the resurgent Nebraska program throughout the season.

The Nebraska Rifle Range is located in the lower level of the Military and Naval Sciences building. One of the finest training facilities in the nation, the Nebraska Rifle Range features 10 firing points with caswell shooting stalls and electronic targets.

Moveable target carriers, which are controlled at the firing line, allow targets to be placed at any distance up to a maximum firing distance of 50 feet. Permanent stops for the targets are located at 10 meters and at 50 feet for NCAA air rifle and smallbore competition.

The Husker rifle team is also able to utilize some of the finest all-sport facilities in the nation at Nebraska, including the Charles and Romona Myers Performance Center. The Myers Performance Center includes massive athletic training facilities for NU student-athletes to maximize their potential.

NUTRITION

Nebraska’s Sports nutritionist and registered dietitian Lindsey Remmers and nutritionist Scott Trausch work with all 24 of Nebraska’s sports by educating athletes on topics such as increasing lean body mass, losing body fat, staying hydrated, nutritional strategies for competition, maximizing recovery following workouts and supplement use. Athletes are given individualized nutrition plans that can be applied in Nebraska’s Performance Buffet at the Lewis Training Table, which was remodeled and expanded in 2010. In addition to utilizing the Lewis Training Table each day for lunch and dinner, student-athletes have access to fueling stations called The Landing, located in North Stadium and the Oasis, located in the Hendricks Training Complex. Both provide chocolate milk, shakes, bars, fruit, nuts, bagels, vitamins and Gatorade at any time before and after training to maximize performance gains and recovery.

Top: Nebraska Student-Athletes of the Year Bjorn Barrefors (left) of the track and field team and Mary Weatherholt (right) from the Husker women’s tennis team

earned multiple All-America awards in competition while leading two of Nebraska’s strongest academic programs. Barrefors was an All-America multi-event competitor

who became NU’s first four-time CoSIDA Academic All-American. Weatherholt was the first Husker to earn All-America honors in both singles and doubles in 2013.

Bottom: Sheena Mahloch earned her bachelor’s degree from Nebraska in the spring of 2012. The criminal justice and criminology major was a CRCA All-Academic Team

member and an academic All-Big Ten selection in 2012.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSThe success of Nebraska student-athletes reaches far beyond athletic competition.

More Husker student-athletes have been selected to CoSIDA Academic All-America teams (307) than any other school in the nation, and Nebraska has produced more NCAA Top Ten Award winners (16) than any other school. As it enters its third season of Big Ten Conference competition in 2013-14, Nebraska continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 NCAA member institutions.

The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 104 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. The Notre Dame football program ranks second among all sports nationally with 58 all-time academic All-Americans. In fact, Nebraska’s 104 football academic All-Americans would rank among the top 25 schools (all sports, all divisions) in the nation in the number of total CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. The NU volleyball program has captured more academic All-America awards (37) than any other women’s team in the nation, while the Husker softball program ranks second on that list with 29 selections. Nebraska also ranks among the top 10 schools in the nation in CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in baseball, women’s basketball and men’s and women’s track and field/cross country. Over the past two years, the men’s and women’s track and field programs have produced 10 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans - the most in the nation during that span.

Huskers Build on Academic Tradition in 2012-13Husker student-athletes produced another outstanding year in 2012-13, continuing

NU’s tradition of academic success. The Huskers added eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to their nation-leading total (307) to become the first school in history to reach 300 academic All-Americans. Nebraska’s eight academic All-Americans led the Big Ten Conference and ranked among the highest totals in the nation across all divisions.

NU maintained its lead of 76 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans over No. 2 Notre Dame. Since 2000, Nebraska has amassed a nation-leading 117 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, which would rank in a tie for 13th over the more than 60 years of the academic All-America program. Nebraska has produced at least one academic All-American in 42 consecutive seasons.

Senior I-back Rex Burkhead captured first-team academic All-America honors for the second straight season, while senior linebacker Sean Fisher earned second-team honors for the second straight year. Fisher added a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.

While Burkhead and Fisher became the 25th and 26th two-time academic All-Americans in the history of the Husker football program, senior track and field student-athlete Bjorn Barrefors became the first four-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in school history. A six-time All-American as a multi-eventer, Barrefors was Nebraska’s Male Student-Athlete of the Year and claimed an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. He was joined by 10-time All-American Mara Griva and Morgan Wilken in giving the track team a trio of academic All-Americans. All-America wrestler Josh Ihnen added his second straight academic All-America award, while eight-time gymnastics All-American Emily Wong captured the first academic All-America award of her career.

Gina Mancuso added a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America award to the Husker volleyball team’s nation-leading total of 37, while helping the Huskers to an NCAA Elite Eight appearance on the court.

THE NEBRASKA ACADEMIC EXPERIENCEFrom the day student-athletes decide the University of Nebraska is the right place to be, the athletic academic counseling unit provides personal and academic support to ensure that student-athletes will get the most out of their years as Huskers. Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 75 tutors addressing all subject areas.

Academic Counseling Eight academic counselors and three assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist student-athletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system.

Tutorial SupportA tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help provide academic support and study strategies to be successful.

In addition, weekly study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff. Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall may also be determined by the academic counselor.

MentoringMany student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies.

Educational AssessmentsAssessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach to determine student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow academic counselors to develop a personalized academic support program and to determine if more in-depth testing is warranted.

If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

Student-Athlete Orientation The academic staff coordinates New Student-Athlete Orientation to help newcomers adjust to the multiple demands of being a college student-athlete. Presentations are made by academic counselors, compliance officials, NU faculty and administrators, business/community professionals and student-athletes.

Personal CounselingStudent-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners.

Computer ResourcesStudent-athletes enjoy a new state-of-the art computer lab and technology center with 58 computers and professional supervision. Laptops are also available during team travel.
