Three Former Standouts Enter Hall

(OMAHA, NE) —Three former standouts were inducted into the UNO Athletic Hall of Fame during a banquet Nov. 10 at the Holiday Inn Convention Centre.

 

Earning induction as the 1999 class were Sandy Skradski, Janice Moreau Howell and Joe Wypiszenski. Coordinated by the UNO Alumni Association, the awards promote recognition of the outstanding achievement of athletes, coaches or administrators.

 

Skradski, who played from 1989-93, finished her career with 1,582 points and 925 rebounds. She was a two-time all-North Central Conference selection and earned Kodak All-American honors as a senior. She finished her career No. 3 in scoring in the North Central conference and was the league’s all-time leading rebounder. She currently ranks third in NCC career rebounding.

 

Moreau still holds the school record for the 800 meters, both indoors and outdoors, and was a member of the 4x400 relay teams which also hold indoor and outdoor records. She won all-American honors in 1984 (4x400 relay), in 1985 (800 meters) and in 1986 (800 meters).

 

Wypiszenski earned all-American honors as a freshman at Northern Michigan, then transferred to UNO when that school dropped the sport. He earned three more all-American plaques, finishing runner-up twice and third once while competing for the Mavericks from 1989-91. He also earned NCAA Division I All-American honors in 1990, becoming the last UNO wrestler to compete in that tournament. His overall mark at UNO was 105-27-5.
