Culmer lone Husker at NCAA meet

Kaiwan Culmer.

That’s it for Nebraska.

The junior triple jumper is the one, the only Husker competing in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

“It’s a little awkward because we’re always traveling with a lot of people, but this indoor season, it seems like everything that could go wrong, did,” said Culmer, who will compete in Saturday’s portion of the meet.

He’ll be accompanied by NU head coach Gary Pepin, volunteer jumps assistant coaches Bobby Carter and Dusty Jonas, and athletic trainer Ashley Torske.

“Ashley and I have seen way too much of each other the last eight months, but she’s as good a trainer as there is,” said Culmer.
