A few years ago this isn’t where Isaiah Hutchinson would have imagined himself, running track at Nebraska on a scholarship and looking like a promising talent in the sprint events.
“I ran high school track one year, my junior year,” Hutchinson said. “I did like (22 feet, 11 inches) in the long jump. The 100 (meter dash) wasn’t anything special. I’ve always been a football guy, but this is how it’s worked out right now.”
Hutchinson is just beginning his NCAA Division I track career, but it’s started really well. He joined the rest of the Huskers in opening the season this weekend at the Graduate Classic at the Devaney Sports Center.
