Gymnasts nab 3rd in Big 8
KU won third place and Iowa State took the title in the Big Eight Conference gymnastics championships Friday and Saturday in Allen Field House.
Friday, in the team title competition, Iowa State swept all seven events in the meet. The nationally top ranked Cyclones scored 186.55 points out of a possible 210. Colorado was second with 175.25 followed by KU, 165.40; Nebraska, 143.85; Oklahoma, 99.80; and Kansas State, 92.50. Missouri and Oklahoma State did not participate in the meet.
KU'S best effort Friday came from Kent Dobbins, a Lawrence High School product, as he finished third in the all-around competition. This event consists of performances on the high bar, parallel bars and rings, side horse and long horse.
Dobbins fared particularly well
in the long horse event as he scored 9:35 points out of a possible ten which was good for a tie for first in the all-around competition.
In Saturday's competition, the Cyclones slipped a bit as three of their nationally ranked prominent gymnasts lost to Colorado entries. The Buffalo's Bill Padia beat ISU's Jerry Crowder in the parallel bars, 9.075-8.95; and two other Colorado men, John Ryan and Dan Evans, defeated favorites Ken Kraneman and Tim Clarke of Iowa State in the side horse and trampoline competition.
