Fort Wayne native and freshman Scott Wims won the men's 200-meter dash during the Midwest Regional titles.
Nebraska University first Midwest Regional titles included a run away win by Wims.
Wims experienced his finest day as a Husker Saturday by registering NCAA qualifications in both the 200- and 100-meter dash events. After running a personal-best time of 10.35 to place third in the 100, which tied for the seventh-best effort in Husker history, Wims ran away with the 200 race in a career-low clocking of 20.66 for only his second career collegiate victory in the event. The surprising win also moved him into sole possession of fifth place on NU’s all-time performance chart.
“At Big 12’s I thought I had a good start and could win that one, so coming in here I thought if I could just get going from the start I’d be in good shape,” Wims said. “Against the competition, it was a really good race for me. There were some really good guys in that race. I had my idea how I was going to run the race going in, because coach (Matt Martin) told me I looked tight yesterday near the end. I just tried to relax and started to move ahead (once he hit the home stretch).”
