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. Darnell has a daughter,
Jennifer, who competes for
Oregon
