Nebraska Heads to Sacramento In Search of National Championship - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site

Twenty-three members of the Nebraska track and field team will compete at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, June 11-14, at Hornet Stadium at the University of California, Sacramento.

Sacramento was born with the Gold Rush, and several Huskers have their minds set on finding gold at the NCAA Championships. Carl Myerscough, Becky Breisch, Ineta Radevica and several others have realistic expectations of bringing home the top prize from the biggest meet of the season.

Myerscough is already a two-time NCAA Indoor Champion in the shot put and the four-time All-American has his eyes focused on his first NCAA Outdoor title. Myerscough finished second in the discus and eighth in the shot put in 2002, but decided not to compete in the discus this time around so he could focus on winning the shot put.

Breisch has won the shot put and the discus in back-to-back competitions at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships and the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships and will try to carry her momentum into her third NCAA appearance. The sophomore finished second at the 2002 national meet in the discus, coming up shy of the title by one inch. She also finished eighth in the shot put at the 2002 outdoor championships and sixth at the 2003 NCAA Indoor Championships.

Radevica is on a roll as well, claiming titles in the long and triple jump at the Big 12 Championships and the Midwest Regional Championships. The Latvian was the runner-up in the triple jump at the 2002 NCAA Outdoor Championships and is a five-time All-American. Not only will she compete in both horizontal jumps, but she will compete as a member of NU
