Who is the best athlete to come from UNL?

[Comish]

Eric Strickland seems to be a forgotten name already in this discussion.

All State in three sports. All State football as a sophomore. Arguably the most athletic basketball player we've had. I've got to go with Strick,

Ok, Suh threw a discus pretty well, but I really think it was his sister that excelled on the soccer field. Ahman set the state record in the 100. My bad mess up was including Gordon in the discussion. What other sport but bb has he played.

Suh was a state champ in the shot. He also did play soccer as a kid, not sure when stopped though.

In track he was the district shot put champion in 2004, and won the OSAA Class 4A shot put title in 2005 with a school-record throw of 61-4.

I was going to say this. Ridiculous athlete. Unfortunately, serious mental issues.

Female athlete: Kelsey Griffin, Kelsey Robinson, Jordan Larson, and Sarah Pavin all would be great choices.

He played basketball in high school too, I believe.
