rowly edging the Ducks for
second place, 46 to 47, at the
Sportswest Invitational in Ren
ton, Wash.
The team title was won by
Cal-Berkeley with 44 points.
“It was exciting,” said coach
Tom Heinonen after the race.
"Nobody expected it to be so
close.”
The invitational, touted as a
warm-up race for the Associa
tion of Intercollegiate Athletics
for Women nationals to be held
in Renton next month, didn't

The Pac-10's top two current

come out exactly as the Ducks
hoped.
"It’s the hardest course I've
ever seen for a national cham
pionship,” said Heinonen. “The
start is especially challenging.
There are two sharp turns in the
first 200 meters, followed by a
giant hill. Later on there are
a couple of treacherous
90-degree turns at the bottom of
steep hills.”
The Duck's were led by veter
an Robin Baker, who finished
fifth in 17:22. She might have
finished as high as third except
Baker misjudged the finish line
and started her kick 200 meters
early.
"It was a little confusing,”
said Heinonen about the finish.
“The course changed direction
right there and they had flags,
pennants, officials and specta
tors standing at that point. She
wasn’t the only person who
mentioned she was confused.”
Leann Warren was the
second Duck finisher in seventh
with a 17:31. Warren got off to a
slow start early in the race, but
come on towards the end, out
kicking five runners in the last
200 meters.
Sophomore Eryn Forbes fin
ished 14th in 17:41 to finish third
for the Ducks. She was followed
by Susie Niedermeyer (23rd in
18:00) and Joan Hopfenspirger
(25th in 18:03) to round out the
Duck’s scoring
