Scott Wims and Indy

Fort Wayne Scott Wims takes second in USA Junior Track and Field held in Indianapolis junior men 100 meters, who is a freshman at the University of Nebraska.

According to Nebraska Track and Field website:
The 2007 Midwest Regional champion in the 200-meter dash, Wims represented Nebraska in more events at the outdoor nationals than any other Husker, competing in three events total. The freshman began day one of competition with a run into the semifinals in the 100-meter dash, but failed to qualify for the finals.



The following day, Wims set his personal record in the 200-meter dash and advanced to the event finals to open the day before jumping into the men’s 4x400 relay when freshman Lukas Hulett was unable to compete. Although the relay failed to make finals, Wims’ ran a solid leg and cemented his place as one of NU’s top sprinters this season.



This is the second All-America honor of the Fort Wayne, Ind., native’s debut year, after he helped the NU men’s 4x400 relay to an eighth-place finish at the 2007 NCAA Indoor Championships. He ends the season as the third-fastest Husker in school history in the men’s 200-meter dash (20.61) and part of the school-record holding team in the 4x200-meter relay.
