Twelve Oregon women meet
nation’s best today at UCLA
Competition begins today for
the twelve Oregon women who
qualified for the three-day national
collegiate track championships at
UCLA.
The Ducks are undefeated this
year in the 400, mile and two-mile
relays, setting meet and school
records in all three events last
weekend in the Northwest re
gional meet. According to coach
Tom Heinonen, the relays are
Oregon’s best bets for points.
Kathy Guiney, Dawna Rose
Mary Officer and Carol Amaral
comprise the 400 relay team.
Amaral, who won the NCWSA
100 meter dash and was second in
the 200 meters, will run the open
100 meters in Los Angeles. She
ran her lifetime best in last year’s
national 100 meter race but even
with the effort did not make the
final. She will join the mile relay
quartet at nationals to free team
mate Ellen Schmidt for the two
mile relay squad.
Oregon’s two-mile relay team of
Schmidt, Debbie Roth, Robin
Baker and Sandy Trowbridge has
the best chance to score. The
Ducks have the third fastest time
in the country in that event at 9:07
behind Kansas State (8:48.4) and
Prairie View A & M (8:55.1). And
Oregon has the potential to chop
ten seconds off that time, Heino
nen said, because the 9:07
NCWSA win came with Schmidt
coasting to a 2:18.0 anchor leg.
Schmidt came back the next
day to win the 800 in 2:11.5, a few
tenths of a second off her lifetime
best.
Schmidt will run the open 800
against Olympians Wendy Knud
son of Colorado State and Kathy
Weston of UCLA at the national
meet, as will teammate Trow
bridge, who finished sixth in the
regional meet in a lifetime best
2:15.7. Oregon s Baker is also en
tered with a best of 2:14.
Both Carol (Amaral) and Ellen
(Schmidt) will have to run lifetime
bests to get into the finals of their
events,' said Heinonen. "The
competition is going to be incredi
ble."
Sprint coach Peter Thompson
predicted Mary Officer should
make the finals in the 100 meter
hurdles, an event she placed fifth
in last year in the national meet.
"Under pressure Mary beats peo
ple who are faster than she
is...relaxation is important and
Mary is used to coping with the
pressure," he said.
Thompson also said the 400
meter relay has the potential to go
faster
"The hand-offs in regionals last
week were good for the first time
but each individual still has a little
more to give on her leg," he said.
In addition to the two-mile relay,
Roth will compete in the 1,500,
entering with a season's best of
4:34.3 and a personal best of
4:25.1.
Oregon discus throwers Mary
Stevenson and Kathy Picknell
have also qualified for the national
meet while Maggie Bonn will
compete in the shot put event.

Linkers cop 2nd in Daisy Duck

places and finished second behind Washington after the final
round of the Daisy Duck Invitational golf tournament Wednesday.
Washington amassed a 928 total to finish 23 shots ahead of
Oregon s 951 Oregon State again brought up the rear at 985.
Kathy Young led the Oregon contigent at the Emerald Valley
Golf Course near Creswell with a final round 75 for a 231 total and
third place Young, who was tied for the third spot after Tuesday s
second round, finished behind Washington s Mary Mulflur and
Patty Marquis.
Mulflur, who lead throughout the Invitational, won the event
with a three-over-par 225 total, while Marquis finished one shot
back at 226.
Oregon s Gmny Burgey edged the Invitational s defending
champ, Rise Alexander of Oregon State, in sudden death for
fourth. Burkey and Alexander ended regulation play tied at 234.
Karen Henry of the University carded a 242 in the tourney to
capture ninth place, whiie Liz Cooper finished at 244. Marilyn
O'Brien closed the women's final event of the year with a 255

The tourney marked the end of the season for most of the
women linkers. Oregon's Young and Burkey, however, will take
part in next month s AIAW Golf Championships, to be played in
Kahuku, Hawaii.
Fun runs planned for Sunday
The Oregon Track Club will sponsor a Fun Run this Sunday
at Alton Baker Park, starting at 1:30 p.m.
Two and four mile runs will start and finish in the park,
following a course along Day Island Road and the bike path. No
entry fee is charged and no prizes will be awarded. Times will be
read aloud, however, as each runner finishes.
The monthly runs are designed to give runners and joggers a
chance to test themselves informally on an accurate course.
Winbigler to compete in Modesto
Lynne Winbigler, a former member of the Oregon women's
track squad and a current member of the Oregon Track Club, will
compete in both the discus and shot put in the Modesto Relays
this weekend.

moved to No. 2 on the all-time U.S. discus list with a throw of
181-9 in the Oregon Twilight Meet earlier this month. Her 51-.5 in
the shot put is second in the nation this year.
