A year ago, I-80 promoter Joe Kosiski decided to make the annual Charlie
Clark Memorial an even bigger event.
He retained the two 22-lap segments
for the A-Mods, but instead of paying
$2,022 to win the entire thing, he paid
$2,022 to win each segment. Kosiski kept
the red flag break after the first 22 laps,
but after the break was over, the first 22
cars were inverted for segment two.
In segment two, Jesse Sobbing came
from 21st to finish second — he also
finished second in the first segment. Kyle
Berck, who finished third in the first
segment, charged from his 20th starting position to win the segment and be
crowned champion.
“We ran second in the first segment to
Dylan (Smith),” Sobbing said. “After killing the motor in the second segment, we
were able to get back up there and race
with Kyle for a couple of laps at the end
of the race but couldn’t quite pull it off.”
As for Kosiski, he said the changes
were good.
“We keep making changes to the race
in hopes it will continue to get bigger and
bigger,” he said. “And the inverting of 22
cars for the second segment seemed to

add a lot of excitement.”
This year, the big change will be
replacing the SLMR Late Model Series
with the Nebraska 360 Sprints in a race
that pays $3,022 to win.
“We had good success with the sprint
cars last year, and by paying $3,022 to
win, we think we will pick up a few bigname drivers,” Kosiski said.
This should add to the growing tradition of the race which, after being moved
around on the calendar, seems to have
found a home on the Sunday of Memorial
Day weekend. This year’s race is May 25.
The other two classes competing in the
Clark Memorial will be B-Mods with a
feature paying $1,022 to win and Hobby
Stocks paying $722 to win.

TRACK AND FIELD
Husker has double motivation in discus
BY JEFF SHELDON
WORLD-HERALD CORRESPONDENT
LINCOLN — Chad Wright is a big
man with similarly sized ambitions in
international track and field, but on
March 26, he saw he still might have
a little way to go to make them come
true.
Wright, a Nebraska senior who took
home the 2012 NCAA championship
in the discus as a sophomore, had his
best throw of the season of 208 feet,
3 inches at the Texas Relays. Then
he watched fellow Jamaican Fedrick
Dacres uncork a throw of more than
218 feet — the best toss in the world
this year.
Wright said he believes he is
ranked No. 3 in the discus among
Jamaicans, which would give him an
inside track to qualifying for the 2016
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. But first
he must meet the Olympic A qualifying standard, which figures to be
beyond Wright’s career-best throw of
209-1.
Exceeding his personal best this
weekend would put Wright closer to
reaching his international goal and
likely give him the one item missing
from his trophy case — a Big Ten discus championship. Wright will take his
top ranking within the conference to
the Big Ten outdoor meet, which starts
Friday in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Though Wright did win last year’s
Big Ten shot put title, the discus is
his preferred event. This is his final
chance to shake off what he considers
disappointing performances the last
two years.
“I’ve not thrown as well as I’ve
liked and that I was supposed to,”
Wright said. “I just didn’t have a good
day two years in a row. I just moved
on from it. And the funny thing is, the
two years in a row I didn’t win, the
two guys who won it did not make it
out of regionals.”
If the Husker men are going to get
past favored Wisconsin for the team
championship, they’ll likely need
big days from the strong throwing
tandem of Wright and sophomore Will
Lohman, a Boise State transfer. Both
Huskers are ranked in the league’s
top 10 in the shot put, and Lohman
also holds the Big Ten’s sixth-place
mark in the hammer throw.
Lohman has had an impressive
spring after faltering to a 10th-place
finish at the Big Ten indoor championships with a throw more than five feet
short of his outdoor season best.
“If there was anything I could do to
get better, I was doing it — whether
it was watching more film, reading
up on mental training and getting
tougher up there,” Lohman said. “I
was really wanting to do everything
because I feel I belong in the Big Ten.
It just comes down to showing it and
hitting the marks.”
Several other Husker men expect
to finish near the top of the podium
this weekend. Ricco Hall has the
conference’s best time in the 200
(20.70), and Levi Gipson and Cody
Rush join Hall among the league
leaders in the 400. A combination of
those three could run on NU’s 1,600
relay team, currently ranked second
in the league.
Senior Patrick Raedler won the
indoor title in the long jump in March
and also has the Big Ten’s best outdoor jump (25-5½).
The Husker women figure to make
noise in the jumping events this weekend with freshman Tierra Williams
holding the Big Ten’s best mark in
the long jump (20-7) and junior Ellie
Ewere with the top seed in the triple
jump (44-1¼).
Annie Jackson could give Nebraska a shot at sweeping the men’s and
women’s discus titles. The senior from
Tekamah, Nebraska, leads the Big Ten
with a season-best throw of 169-9.
