Women bag dual win overOSU The University women's track team had to take the good with the bad Saturday in its 80-47 dual meet victory over Oregon State University Though the Ducks won easily, the wind and rain kept most performers from doing their best, said coach Tom Heinonen. Those performers who did well still didn't have reason to rejoice Kris Costello apparantly set the school record in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14 20. but it was later dis covered that one of the judges recorded the mark as wind-aid ed. Wind-aided marks do not qualify for school records Heinonen said the old record of 14 44 set by Mary Officer in 1975 may have to be respected "If you're in any doubt, then it's not a record, and we ll probably never find out for sure " But Costello was not the only Duck to be disappointed Joan Walton missed the regional qualifying mark in the long jump by only one inch "She jumped in conditions that were as bad as they could be." said Heinonen Ellen Schmidt ran what Heinonen called a smart 800 meter race in one of the worst storms of the day She also missed the qualifying mark, but has already qualified in the 1.500 meters "Given the fact that the meet wasn't too competitive, the weather was crummy and people were looking forward to nationals. I was pleased with the performance." offered Heinonen 'The first lap was kind of slow.'* Schmidt said after the race I didn’t get out fast enough so my time wasn't that quick However, I've been more pleased with my 1.500 If I can get a faster 800 time, then I'll go to the nationals in that '* Debbie Adams won the 100 meters and took second in the 200 meters, while teammate Melanie Batiste won the 200 meters and took second in the 100 meters While their times were good, said Heinonen. they were also wind-aided Oregon’s discus duo Mary Stevenson and Kathy Picknell went 1-2 and proved their con sistency, said Heinonen. "Mary and Kathy each logged one more mark at the level of their best throw of last season Ptioto by Jim Alien Ram and wind didn't stop Katy Mountain (left) and Molly Morton from finishing one-two respectively in the 3,000 meters to help Oregon to an 80-47 dual meet win over OSY They're about ready for a breakthrough." Shot putter Carrie Albano won her event with a toss of 44-6%, more than three feet better than the second-place finisher. Kelly Buntjer "Carne s got a technique ad justment, and she's had no competition We re looking for better things from her." Hemonen said Buntjer bettered her lifetime best four times in the meet, improving by 1 y* feet. Javelin thrower Patty Kearney took third at 140-11 in her first meet in two weeks An ankle injury has kept her from approaching her school record of 166-11, Heinonen added. "Patty just has some work to do to get her technique back. She'll bounce back and throw well at nationals Everything went according to plan OSU is better than they were last year (when Oregon won 97-29) because now they're ottering a program But we don't intend to let them catch us.” Beginning at 9 a m Friday, the Northwest Collegiate Women s Sports Association meet will take place at Hayward Field.
