George Kusche is again putting his gift of showmanship to use as he attempts to break another Nebraska track and field record.
A year after Kusche publicly stated his intentions of becoming the first Husker to run a mile in less than 4 minutes – and then doing so in front of more than 2,500 fans – the South African distance runner is making a bold prediction.
"I'm going to do the 3K," Kusche said, "and I'm going to break the school record."
Kusche already holds the oversized track 3,000-meter record at Nebraska, 7:57.
