The Huskers will compete on the floor exercise, pommel horse and still rings on Thursday before moving into the second half of the Olympic rotation with the vault, parallel bars and high bar on Friday.

 

The intrasquad marks the first scoring competition for Nebraska’s 10 newcomers and gives them the opportunity to test their routines before the start of the collegiate season in January. Nebraska kicks off the 2007 season with a weekend trip to the Rocky Mountain Open on Jan. 12th and 13th in Colorado Springs, Colo., where it will meet up with Air Force and defending national champion Oklahoma.
