NT Bettiine Corvallis ^ Duck harriers host Invitational in pursuit of good competition By MIKE GRADY Of The Emerald Oregon’s undefeated women’s cross country team shifts south this weekend to host the Shasta Cross Country Invitational in Red ding, Calif. Oregon coach Tom Heinonen said the trip is a chance for the women to face rough competition before regionals and nationals. “This is another chance to go against high quality people, and at this point of the season that is important,’Heinonen said. “At this stage it’s important for our runners to compete against challenging runners. Outside of Seattle Pacific and the University of Washington, we re forced to go south to find that kind of competi tion.” Other teams scheduled to com pete in the 5,000 meter race are Oregon State, Stanford, Califor nia, UC at Davis , West Valley Track Club, Sacramento’s Club North and the San Jose Cinder gals. Heinonen expects the club run ners to give the Ducks the stiffest challenge but isn’t really sure. “I’d like to win the race,” he said. “But frankly I don’t have any idea how good the other teams are We beat Stanford and California last year and I think we’ve probably improved more that they have. We haven’t competed against the Cindergals or Club North before, so it's hard to know just what they'll have.” Two of the track club runners likely to give Oregon a challenge are Judy Graham and Anne Ragan. Graham, a representative for West Valley T.C., is a veteran of international competition and has run the metric equivalent of a 4:33 mile. Ragan of the Cinder gals is the California state high school 880 champion and has run 2:04 in that event. Stanford’s Ann Thrupp, 15th in AIAW cross country last year, might be contending for the race, though slowed by an injury this fall. Heinonen said he will take 11 runners to the meet and expres sed hope Kim Spir will be able to make the trip after missing last weekend's race against Seattle Pacific due to illness. Oregon will play host to the tournament in an effort to save costs. The Ducks are running the invitational this year as substitute for a trip they usually take to Chico, Calif. Oregon has another connection with the meet. It has been partially set up by, and will be conducted under the direction of Dr. Harry Daniell.
