♦wo-time '■'hornoK:n Henry Rono of
Washington State. 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. Admission is $1 for
students.
The Ducks will feature familiar
faces Don 'No Neck” Brown at
190 pounds and 150-pounder
Scott Bliss, but two and possibly
three freshmen will also start.
Adam Cuestes (118) and Jim Hil
debrand (142) have emerged as
the best in their respective clas
ses, and rookie Bill Nugent is chal
lenging senior Reynolds Capps at
134.
'Tm looking forward to this
meet, because it will be our first
look at the new crop. I expect big
things from them,1' says head
coach Ron Finley.
Eastern Washington was the
NAIA national champion two
years ago, but according to Finley
the team was hurt by graduation
last year. “I definitely think we
should win," he says.
Rounding out the Ducks’ lineup
is Russ Miller (126), Leonard
Simon (158), Jeff Steubing (167),
Ftyan Kelly (177) and heavyweight
Craig Schoene, a junior college
transfer.

below .500 after loss to Beavers

with a winning league record when it fell 3-0 to Oregon State last

ence and 4-9-1 overall.
