Rono repor tedly fell and finished well back among the better than 200 run ners. “I’m satisfied and happy, but you come back to earth pretty quickly," Salazar said of his race by telephone. “It was not all that fast, but times don’t mean that much. I was worried about the competition.'’ Rudy Chapa and Salazar took the lead at the start of the 10,000 meter (6.2 mile) race, run in below-freezing temperatures. Rono caught them at the one-mile mark and Salazar and Rono ran together for the next V/i miles. Arizona’s Thom Hunt took the lead at 2Vi miles and Salazar slowed because of stomach cramps. At the four-mile mark, Salazar surged past Hunt to re take the lead and eventually won by 30 meters. Behind Salazar were UTEP’s Suleiman Nyambui and Michael Musyoki in second and third and Hunt in fourth. “I felt in control,” Salazar said. “I was running easy and was bid ing my time. When they (weren’t expecting it) I made my move. Salazar capped a successful season with the national title, after winning the Garrie Franklin Clas sic and finishing second to Rono in both the Pac-10 Northern Divi sion and Pac-10/Distfict 8 meets. Last year he finished third in the Pac-8 and ninth in the NCAA meet. “I was disappointed in how I ran the NCAA 10,000 last spring (finishing fifth). I was physically ready but mentally was not that strong. “A lot (of my improvement) had to do with my mental attitude being better and my religious be liefs. The last two years I've been close to Christ. Last year I used to run for myself, but realized he’s the main thing behind my running. I ran the 10.000 for myself. "When it came down to going with the leaders or not I thought about hurting and did not push hard,” he added. “I know without a doubt (my beliefs) have made me a better runner. Getting glory for finishing first is now what’s impor tant." “It makes them respect me more,” he said. “They’ve won big ger races than this. To get an edge, I’ll have to win more.” Unofficially behind Salazar, teammate Don Clary finished seventh- (sixth in team scoring), Chapa 14th (10th), Ken Martin 22nd (18th), Bill McChesney 51st (37th), and Art Boileau 70th. Salazar said a team title for Oregon would have made his vic tory “sweeter,” but his teammates ran well and were beaten by a bet ter team. His individual champ ionship was Oregon’s first since Steve Prefontaine's third title in 1973. Veterans, frosh lead wrestlers The Oregon wrestling team, ranked 16th in the country by the Amateur Wrestling News, opens its season against Eastern Washington Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Mac Court.

Men booters’ league mark drops below .500 after loss to Beavers The Oregon men’s soccer dub lost its chance to finish the season with a winning league record when it fell 3-0 to Oregon State last Saturday. The Ducks finished 4-5 in the Northwest Collegiate Soccer Confer ence and 4-9-1 overall.
