2017-18 NEBRASKA RIFLE

HUSKERS READY FOR PURSUIT OF NCAA TITLE Ashley MacAllister enters her fourth year as head coach as the Nebraska rifle team begins the 2017-18 season. Joining her is assistant coach Rick Johnson, who is entering his third year at Nebraska. Together the pair led the team to its fifth consecutive top-eight finish in 201617, seeking to break the school record for most consecutive trips to the NCAA Championships (six) this season. “Our goals for the team are always to be competitive for a national championship,” MacAllister said. “To me this means that every day on the range that we take the time to grow and learn about ourselves as shooters and to reach new heights that we never thought were possible. We want to be one of the final eight teams at NCAAs and do our best to give the top schools a run for their money.” All-American Dacotah Faught is the lone senior returning for the Huskers. She has been a strong asset for the Huskers both on and off the range since she joined the team in 2016. Faught will be relied upon for her skills, experience and leadership in 2017-18. “Dacotah is a great leader on this team,” MacAllister said. “She leads by example in every way on and off the range. Her ability to communicate about her technique has really taught me a lot in the short time that she has been a part of the team. Even though she has only been here at Nebraska for a year, she has transitioned so well and with the help of her teammates throughout this year, they will help each other get better. I couldn’t ask for a harder worker on and off the range.” Faught earned All-America honors twice, the latest coming when the NRA named her to the second team for air rifle in 2017. Off the range she has been equally successful, being selected to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team in 2017. In addition, she was named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in both fall and spring semesters of 2016-17. Also returning for the Huskers this season are four juniors. Katie Brown, Nina Radulovic, Hannah Virga and Rachel Yager saw varying amounts of action last year as sophomores but will step into more significant roles in 2017-18, after the Huskers lost two senior All-Americans from last season. “We will never be able to replace Rachel [Martin] and Jaycee [Carter],” MacAllister said. “They were wonderful individuals who brought so much to this team. I have no doubt that the younger ones on the team will take what they learned from them and do their best to step up. Not only do we have Dacotah as great leadership, but we have Nina [Radulovic] and Samantha [Peterson] who both went to NCAAs

Dacotah Faught is a returning All-American and the only senior on the 2017-18 team. The Amenia, N.D., native will help lead the team in 2017-18 and looks to collect another AllAmerica award as a senior. with the team last year. Nina and Sammy both were able to shoot internationally this summer which was able to give them perspective about training and competing on a high level.” Of the three juniors, Radulovic has the most collegiate experience. She competed in every match, both regular and postseason, including the GARC and NCAA Championships in 201617. She set a new career high in both disciplines with scores of 586 and 593 in smallbore and air rifle, respectively. Rachel Yager will shoulder more weight this season having seen significant action in 201617. She set career-high scores in both air rifle (586) and smallbore (575). Yager will be relied on as a leader off the range as well after claiming the Nebraska’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award for rifle and being named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team twice. Hannah Virga looks to be a regular contributor to the Nebraska rifle team this season. Despite seeing little action last season, Virga made the most of her opportunities by setting a new career high in smallbore (572). She is currently tied for the highest air rifle score in school history with a 597. The remaining returners are sophomores Kayla Gadeken, Maddie Korthas, Samantha Peterson, and Sarah Sutton. They will look to

step into leadership roles after a successful season as freshmen. All four were named to both the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll and the 2017 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team. A returning All-American, Peterson saw the most action, competing in every match last season, including the NCAA Championships. Peterson finished the season with a high of 585 in smallbore and 593 in air rifle. Gadeken competed in all but three matches, notching season highs of 578 and 591 in smallbore and air rifle, respectively. Korthas appeared in five matches last season, notching personal bests in both disciplines with a 566 in smallbore and a 583 in air rifle. Sutton competed in eight matches in 2016-17, firing season highs in both smallbore (564) and air rifle (586). Sutton will compete for regular action in 2017-18. Joining the returners are three incoming freshmen. Mari Butler (Casselton, N.D.), Emily Cheramie (Georgetown, Ky.) and Elizabeth Ewert (Burnsville, Minn.) will have an opportunity to play a significant role on the team in their first year. “The freshmen are going to be great additions to the team,” MacAllister said. “All three of them have been competitive on a national level for most of their high school careers. I have no doubt as long as they come in and work hard every day that they will see the benefits of all their hard work.” The regular season will open with a tough opponent at home as Nebraska hosts defending national champion West Virginia on Oct. 14. MacAllister, Johnson, and the Huskers will host Army West Point on Oct. 21. The team will round out October with a trip to Fort Worth, Texas, to face TCU and Memphis Oct. 28, then Memphis again the following day on Oct. 29. Nebraska will head to Colorado Springs, Colo., in the last match of the fall semester to face Kentucky, Air Force and Ohio State, Nov. 18-19. The team will begin the spring semester with a trip to Columbus, Ohio, to face Ole Miss and Ohio State, Jan 13-14. The following week NU will travel to Annapolis, Md., to take on Navy on Jan. 19 and North Carolina State the following day on Jan. 20. In the last regular-season matchup the Huskers will host Akron on Feb. 3 on senior day. NCAA Qualifiers are scheduled for Feb. 17 in Murray, Ky. The following week the GARC Championships are set for Feb. 24 in Morgantown, W.Va. NCAA Championships will be in Charleston, S.C.

2017-18 NEBRASKA RIFLE

GREAT AMERICA RIFLE CONFERENCE Nebraska joined the Great America Rifle Conference in 2004-05 after seven years as an independent program. The conference, which enters its 20th year of operation, includes Nebraska, Army West Point, Kentucky, Memphis, Mississippi, West Virginia, Navy, Akron 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 can compete for the conference championship in the interim, allowing it to gauge its performance before heading to nationals. Over the last 12 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.

HANK M. BOUNDS, PH.D

University of Nebraska President (Third Year) • Southern Mississippi (1991)

On Jan. 12, 2015, the Board of Regents appointed lifelong educator Hank M. Bounds, Ph.D., as the seventh president of the University of Nebraska. Bounds began his tenure as president on April 13, 2015, bringing with him a demonstrated record of expanding opportunities for students, improving higher education outcomes and efficiencies, and building successful partnerships with policymakers, donors and business leaders. Bounds grew up on a small farm in rural Mississippi, where his family raised hogs and cattle and he hauled hay. His service in the Army National Guard helped him pay for college, and he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi and a doctorate from the University of Mississippi. Bounds has devoted his 25-year career to helping change students’ lives in the same way education opened doors in his own life. He began

as a high school teacher, then rose to principal, superintendent and state superintendent before becoming Mississippi’s commissioner of higher education in 2009. In that role, he oversaw a complex system of eight public universities including research universities, regional universities, an academic health science center, historically black institutions, a law center, a school of veterinary medicine and 200 institutes and centers. Together the system enrolled 85,000 students, employed 26,000 faculty and staff, and operated with a combined annual budget of $4.5 billion, including $500 million in research and development. During every year of Bounds’ tenure as commissioner, student enrollment and degrees awarded by the institutions in the Mississippi system increased, by a total of 13.3 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively. He advocated with legislative leadership for improved faculty compensation and providing greater opportunities for students. He also provided oversight for private fundraising in excess of $250 million per year. Bounds worked with the Board of Trustees to implement a performance-based allocation model that distributed funds equitably and rewarded universities for operating efficiently and achieving attainment outcomes. He designed an efficiencies plan that saved more than $90 million, an internal audit function, and a comprehensive diversity initiative that led to increased diversity among Mississippi faculty, staff and students. Bounds also worked with partners to increase educational attainment in Mississippi, including a Center for Education Innovation focused on improving learning opportunities for disadvantaged children. Bounds created an office to foster relationships among university researchers, business and industry, and economic developers. He was tapped by the business community to chair

a major statewide initiative to create an action plan to improve Mississippi’s competitive position. Bounds brings this experience to the University of Nebraska, which he believes can serve as a catalyst for change and growth in the lives of students and people in the state and around the world. He is working to make the University of Nebraska a giant in higher education—for the benefit of the state, the country and the world. Bounds holds faculty appointments in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and in the Colleges of Education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He and his wife, Susie, are the parents of a son, Will, and a daughter, Caroline. They reside in Lincoln, Neb.

BOARD OF REGENTS The Board of Regents consists of eight voting members elected by district for six-year terms, and four non-voting student Regents, one from each campus, who serve during their tenure as student body president. The board supervises the general operations of the university, and the control and direction of all expenditures. The board also includes a corporation secretary who manages all records including agendas, minutes, notices, policies and bylaws. Those documents can be found on the web at nebraska.edu/board/. The board meets regularly, primarily in Lincoln but also in Omaha and greater Nebraska. Persons wishing to provide information to the board or to appear before it should contact: Corporation Secretary, University of Nebraska, Varner Hall, 3835 Holdrege, Lincoln, NE 68583.

2016-17 Nebraska Rifle Team (from left): Maddie Korthas, Samantha Peterson, Dacotah Faught, Kayla Gadeken, Nina Radulovic, Rachel Martin, Jaycee Carter, Katie Brown, Rachel Yager, Jordan Miller, Sarah Sutton, Hannah Virga. The 2016-17 Nebraska rifle team marked a program milestone after reaching the 2017 NCAA Championships under third-year head coach Ashley MacAllister and second-year assistant coach Rick Johnson. The Huskers qualified for the NCAA Championships for the fifth consecutive year, tying the longest streak since rifle became a varsity sport at NU in 1998-99. The team’s sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships capped a very successful 2016-17 season that included several personalbest scores, new school records, a runner-up conference finish and a pair of All-Americans. “I am so proud of this team this year,” MacAllister said. “Everyone on this team worked hard to learn about themselves this year and how to manage their inner voices. Rifle is so much of a mental sport [so] it is very important that all of my athletes are very honest with themselves. In order for them to do this it means they have to be comfortable being vulnerable with themselves, their teammates, and their coaches. It is a tall task to ask of young adults at times, but everyone on this team has embraced this so we can all grow and get better at what we do everyday.” The Huskers started the season by traveling to Oxford, Miss., on Oct. 15 to battle Ole Miss. Newcomers Samantha Peterson and Dacotah Faught paved the way for the Huskers and proved right away they were going to immediately influence the team. Peterson earned 584 in smallbore, while Faught scored 592 in air rifle. In addition, Katie Brown broke her career-high score in smallbore with 563. NU topped the Rebels 4,659-4,654. Nebraska took a week off before hosting Ohio State at the NU Rifle Range on Oct. 29. In a narrow battle, the match was tied and needed to be determined by inner tens. Nebraska came out victorious after firing 272 to OSU’s 270. Jordan Miller earned a new personal high in smallbore with 570, and Hannah Virga posted a season-best smallbore score of 567. Rachel Yager set a career-best smallbore score of 575. The next weekend, the Big Red traveled to

Lexington, Ky., for a pair of matches against Akron (Nov. 5) and Kentucky (Nov. 6). The Huskers dominated the Zips 4,663-4,630 but suffered their first loss of the season to the second-ranked Wildcats (4,683-4,675). Despite the loss, Faught made her way into the NU record books after shooting a 596 in air rifle. She, along with Rachel Martin, recorded the highest air rifle score ever shot by a Husker junior and the second-highest air rifle score overall. Nina Radulovic earned a career-best smallbore score of 586 against the Wildcats as well, while Yager set a personal best in air rifle with 586. The following weekend, NU had back-to-back matches against UTEP on Nov. 12 and Nov. 13 at the NU Rifle Range. Kayla Gadeken notched a career-best 591 on the second day, while Maddie Korthas (566) and Martin (584) each earned season-best scores in smallbore as well. The Huskers swept the Miners, moving to 5-1 at the conclusion of the first half of the season. After two months off, Nebraska began the second half of its season with a long stretch of road matches. The series started with competitions against NC State (Jan. 15) and Army West Point (Jan. 16) in West Point, N.Y. NU topped both teams in come-frombehind victories, with help from strong air rifle performances. Jaycee Carter set a new careerhigh score in smallbore with 579 against the Wolfpack, while Sarah Sutton tied her career best in the same discipline (564). Radulovic tied her career-high air rifle score against Army West Point with 593. Next, the Big Red traveled to Morgantown, W.Va., and to face off against Navy on Jan. 21 and West Virginia on Jan. 22. NU went 1-1 that weekend, falling to then No. 2 West Virginia, but beating Navy. The next weekend, NU challenged Memphis and Jacksonville State University in Memphis, Tenn., on Jan. 28 and defeated both teams. Nebraska concluded the regular season at home against Alaska on Feb. 2. In the final home match of their Husker careers, seniors and AllAmericans Carter and Martin led the Nebraska

rifle team in a record-breaking performance. Martin led the team in smallbore with 582. Carter scored the second-highest score in air rifle (593), helping the Huskers to the highest air rifle score at the NU Rifle Range (2,367). Despite the incredible performance, NU fell to the Nanooks 4,691-4,683. Two weeks later, the Huskers began postseason action at the NCAA Qualifiers in Murray, Ky., where the team finished second in its session and qualified for the 2017 NCAA Championships for the fifth consecutive season with a score of 4,666. At the GARC Championships Feb. 24-25, the Huskers finished second (4,679) thanks to a tremendous air rifle performance. Martin and Carter led the team in air rifle, both notching scores of 595. Peterson and Faught were close behind with 593, and Radulovic rounded out the Huskers with a score of 590. The team’s effort landed them a spot in the Nebraska record books, shooting the highest team air rifle score in school history (2,376). At the air rifle finals, Martin placed third overall and Carter grabbed the eighth spot. The Huskers concluded their season at the 2017 NCAA Championships in Columbus, Ohio, March 10-11. NU placed sixth with a score of 4,676, while Martin and Carter finished sixth and eighth respectively in air rifle. West Virginia took home its fifth consecutive national title with a score of 4,723 and swept the individual titles. TCU and Murray State finished second and third, respectively. Faught and Peterson earned All-America honors from the NRA for their tremendous efforts on the rifle range. Faught claimed second-team honors in air rifle, while Peterson was honorable mention in smallbore. For Faught, it was her second All-America award. Faught returns in 2017-18 as the only senior on the Husker squad. She, along with Peterson and Radulovic, will serve as the primary leaders on a team in pursuit of a school-record sixth straight NCAA appearance in 2018.

WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES NEBRASKA RIFLE & PISTOL RANGE

From training facilities to competition venues, Nebraska’s athletic facilities are second-to-none across the collegiate landscape. From Memorial Stadium to Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Bob Devaney Sports Center, Husker student-athletes have the benefits of training and competing in some of the nation’s finest facilities. Fans around the country follow the Huskers with amazing passion across all sports. In 2016-17, Nebraska was the only Division I program to rank in the top 15 nationally in attendance in football and men’s basketball. Overall, nine Husker sports ranked among the top 20 nationally in attendance in 2016-17. 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 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. One of the nation’s finest training facilities, the Nebraska Rifle Range is located in the lower level of the Military and Naval Science Building.

NAPL: INTEGRATING SPORT

The Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) is recognized as the first performance research center within a collegiate department of athletics. The NAPL features a talented, multidisciplinary team that includes a full-time director, assistant director and biomarker lab director, and two research post-doctoral fellows. Located in East Memorial Stadium adjacent to UNLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3), the NAPL collaborates with Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Performance staff and athletic programs to offer the highest level of integration of sport performance technologies and systems. The NAPL is made up of the Mark and Debra Classen Cardio Area, James and Karen Linder Dynamic Performance Center, Markin Family Collaborative Center, Thayer Family Athletic Research Lab and cutting-edge equipment donated by the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation. The main entrance for the research facilities is located in the Janet and Gerard Keating Family Concourse. Focused on student-athlete health, safety and welfare, the NAPL is a world-leading research and performance facility focusing on the performance enhancement, safety and long-term well-being of student-athletes. The NAPL includes simulated athletic environments for studying performance, incorporating a camera system to track human motion capture videos (3D) to measure athletes in their development through testing results to create an athletic performance index for each athlete, force plates to measure ground reaction forces and state-of-theart technology to assess physiological limitations and biomarkers, investigate exercise cardiovascular capacity and measure body composition. All 24 Husker athletic programs conduct performance testing at NAPL. Force plates and motion capture videos (3D) are used to measure athletes in their development through testing results to create an athletic performance index for each athlete. The NAPL uses IDexa as an advanced, accurate and reliable method to analyze and measure body composition. The focus of the Thayer Family Athletic Research Lab is recovery from competition, travel and all stressors a student athlete might experience by measuring salivary biomarkers hours prior to and up to 24 hours post-competition.

“What I love most about Nebraska is the elite support they give student-athletes. My coaches, teammates and advisers were always there to encourage me and help me find solutions to the challenges that I faced. I was often inspired by other student-athletes who were driven to perform well in their sport and in their studies.” Amanda Trujillo Scrivner, Eight-Time Rifle All-American (2000-03) Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee (2015) The athletic academic unit, located in the Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex, 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 composed of 14 full-time staff members and is certified by the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A) as meeting the standards established by the N4A.

ACADEMIC COUNSELING

Seven academic counselors, three learning specialists and two 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.

TUTORIAL SUPPORT

A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support from approximately 75-100 tutors on staff is available from day one up to college graduation in all subject areas. The tutorial program is certified as a model tutoring program by the College Reading and Learning Association.

STUDY HALL

Nebraska’s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Student Life Complex. Student-athletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Student-athletes are required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall also may be determined by the academic counselor.

MENTORING

Academic support staff serve as mentors to all incoming student-athletes and a select group of returning student-athletes. The student-athletes meet with their mentor weekly to develop time management skills, gather and report academic progress information, and discuss academic success strategies.

EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach. Learning specialists are available to administer and score informal assessments, which include a reading comprehension and a writing assessment. When more in-depth assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined a student-athlete has a learning disability or another medical condition that impedes the student from reaching their academic potential, appropriate accommodations are implemented by the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ORIENTATION

Each new student-athlete attends an orientation at the beginning of their academic career. Student-athletes are introduced to staff, faculty, administrators, and a variety of resources that help facilitate the transition into college while enhancing awareness of support services in the Athletic Department and across campus.

PERSONAL COUNSELING

Student-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 RESOURCES

The Herman Student Life Complex has two computer labs available for studentathletes. The Scott Technology Center features two tech tables for use on group computer projects and group study sessions. New laptops are provided to all studentathletes for use during their academic career at Nebraska.

HUSKER STUDENT-ATHLETES

Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining athletic programs in the country. In 2016-17, Nebraska was one of only two collegiate programs in the nation to attract nearly 1.3 million fans across its seven major team sports through the doors of its world-class facilities. This incredible interest and support enables Nebraska Athletics to invest in the student-athlete experience, as well as the overall game-day experience. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes across 24 sports.

In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured the way member institutions and conferences, including the Big Ten, govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing unmatched benefits and support to student-athletes. However, this change in governance, and subsequent legislation, paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for studentathletes. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are: • All scholarship student-athletes across all sports have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance. • Each student-athlete is offered an Apple MacBook Air laptop computer to enhance their learning opportunities (pictured). • Nebraska has increased resources and support in all academic and performance related areas including but not limited to Academic Services, Life Skills, Athletic Medicine, Athletic Training, Strength and Conditioning, Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory, Nutrition and Dining Services (Training Table) and Sports Analytics. • Nebraska created the first-known PostEligibility Opportunity (PEO) program, where every student-athlete graduate who has exhausted their athletic eligibility has the opportunity to pursue (with Nebraska support) an internship, participate in a study abroad program or attend graduate school at UNL or UNMC.

ATHLETIC MEDICINE: CARING FOR HUSKERS

Nebraska’s Athletic Medicine facilities rank among the nation’s best, while one of the most experienced medical staffs in the nation care for all Husker student-athletes. Nebraska’s medical team consists of 13 full-time athletic trainers and eight graduate assistant trainers, led by Associate Athletic Director Dr. Lonnie Albers (kneeling far left), Head Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Jerry Weber and Head Rifle Athletic Trainer Tom Dufresne. A full staff of orthopaedists is also available to the Huskers, led by Dr. Richard Dugas (pictured back in white). The Husker Athletic Medicine team also includes a full-time, in-house athletic psychologist, and sports psychiatry consultants who work directly with Husker student-athletes.

LIFE SKILLS

PROACTIVE EDUCATION

The Life Skills team organizes several orientations aimed at acclimating student-athletes to college life. Additionally, all incoming student-athletes attend the fall semester Husker Life Seminar. This interactive class promotes responsible decision-making, personal brand, financial literacy, leadership, involvement and service.

FOCUS ON SUCCESS IN LIFE OUTSIDE OF ATHLETICS

Regarded as the premier and most comprehensive Life Skills program in college athletics, the Husker program is committed to providing proactive education, resources and support through college and beyond to promote total person development and preparation for life after sports. Led by Senior Associate Athletic Director Keith Zimmer, five full-time staff members coordinate community involvement, career planning, effective communication strategies and much more to benefit Husker student-athletes.

INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS

Every Nebraska student-athlete is assigned a Life Skills Coordinator who will arrange multiple individual meetings throughout the academic year aimed at enhancing personal and career development. The meetings help each studentathlete identify a career focus and implement a plan to increase career marketability.

CAREER COMMITMENT ORKING

Athlete Network and Husker Hire Link provide opportunities to explore career opportunities across the country.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Nebraska student-athletes readily accept the role-model challenge, collectively giving more than 7,500 hours annually to impact thousands across the state of Nebraska. Outreach events include but are not limited to hospital visits, mentoring, school assemblies, statewide rallies (including the Sportsmanship 4 Life Pep Rally, pictured opposite page, bottom left), Make-A-Wish, NFL Play 60 and Husker Heroes.

LEADERSHIP

Nebraska Life Skills provides student-athletes with countless opportunities to enhance leadership skills while distinguishing themselves from the competition. Student-athletes can be members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Uplifting Athletes Chapter or Husker Distinction Council. UNL offers more than 600 recognized student organizations allowing athletes to collaborate with other campus leaders for common goals. Nebraska Life Skills funds and coordinates an annual one-week service abroad trip that allows 20 student-athletes to work together toward a common goal while enriching cultural competencies.

“DREAM BIG. WORK HARD. STAY HUMBLE.“

Nina Radulovic (middle) earned a Nebraska Sam Foltz Hero 27 Leadership Award at “A Night at the Lied.“ The award, named in honor of late Husker punter Sam Foltz, was presented to 27 student-athletes across all sports who exhibit strong leadership qualities, commitment to service and ability to encourage and empower peers. Radulovic is pictured above with Foltz’s parents, Gerald and Jill.

RECOGNITION

In 2016-17, nine Husker Rifle student-athletes were named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for completing a minimum of six service projects in the calendar year. A host of other recognition opportunities at the institutional, Big Ten and NCAA levels that all reflect the high ideals, character and servant leadership nurtured through community involvement also are available.

POST-ELIGIBILITY OPPORTUNITIES Effective December 2015 and beyond, studentathletes who letter and graduate will have a threeyear window to benefit from one of three posteligibility opportunities each valued at $7,500. Upon completion of required seminars, graduates can either study abroad, complete an internship or begin graduate school within the University of Nebraska system.

NEBRASKA RIFLE A WINNING TRADITION

Nebraska rifle continues to build a tradition that rivals the Huskers’ most successful programs. Entering its 20th season as a varsity sport at Nebraska, the Husker rifle team has produced 11 top-six team finishes at the NCAA Championships, including a runner-up performance at the 2006 NCAA Championships. In 2005, the Huskers fired their way to a third-place showing at the NCAA Championships, before adding a fifth-place team finish in 2007. Nebraska made it five consecutive top-five NCAA finishes by taking fourth in 2008. The Huskers made five consecutive appearances at the NCAA Championships in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, finishing in the top eight each time (2013-7th, 2014-5th, 2015-4th, 2016-8th, 2017-6th). Nebraska is shooting for its school-record sixth consecutive NCAA appearance in 2018. In addition, three Huskers have claimed individual national titles.

Top: The 2005-06 team earned the program’s best national finish after placing second at the 2006 NCAA Championships. Kristina Fehlings (pictured back row, second from the left), led the team by capturing the NCAA individual title in the air rifle.
