UW meets Ducks on unfriendly field
By JOHN HEALY
Of the Emerald
Pity the poor Washington
Huskies, who got bombed
100-63 in Seattle last year by the
Oregon track team.
They must face the Ducks
again this year, but this time in
the unfriendly confines of
Eugene's Hayward Field, and
against an Oregon team that
head coach Bill Dellinger calls
"stronger than a year ago."
And when Dellinger says the
Ducks are stronger this year,
he’s not talking about potential
— he’s talking of the marks
Oregon has already posted in a
pair of invitational meets in Ba
ton Rouge, La., and Eugene.
"I think we cover all of the
events this year," says Del
linger. "Some are thin but we
cover them better than last
year.”

Two surprises for Dellinger
were the performances of a pair
of freshmen at the LSU Invita
tional last weekend.
Lamar Hurd triple-jumped
50-3'/4, the fifth-best mark in
Oregon history, and Don Ward
clocked 50.99 in the 400 meter
intermediate hurdles, moving
him into second on the all-time
Oregon list.
Dellinger and assistant coach
Dennis Whitby had expected
the pair to eventually achieve
performances of last weekend s
quality, but not this early in their
freshman seasons.
"He’s got the tools,” Whitby
says of Ward. "He came to us as
a very raw talent. But I wasn’t
surprised by his time, because
he has tremendous confidence
in his abilties.”
While Ward came to Oregon
with national-level credentials,
including being the top high
school intermediate hurdler in
the nation (the preps run 300
meters rather than 400), Hurd
enrolled as a Duck after having
received only regional recogni
tion.
Hurd won three titles at the
state meet in Washington - both
jumps and the high hurdles —
but only had bests of 23-7 in the
long jump and 48-6 in the triple
jump.
"Initially we offered only a
partial scholarship," says
Whitby. "As he got better we
offered him more and more. We
finally offered him a full ride,
because we needed a long and
triple jumper really bad."
The 100 and 200 are the Hus
kies strong suit, with last year's
national prep leader, Bernard
Jackson, teaming with former
junior college star LaNorris
Marshall and the 1980 Oregon
prep champ (in both events),
Byron Howell.
"They are sharp. They are
coming off a heavy indoor pro
gram,” says Whitby. “We know
they are good at 60 (meters), but
a lot depends on how good they
are at 200."
Oregon’s main obstacle to
Washington’s hopes in the 100
and 200 is transfer student Larry
Bradley, who sat out last season
after going to the semifinals in
the 200 at the NCAA champion
ships the previous year.
The 400 offers the Ducks’
Parrish Nixon (47.93 last week
end, lifetime best of 47.46)
against Jackson (lifetime best of
46.77), John Kozol (47.03) and
Zvonko Stankovic (46.73).
In the javelin, the Huskies
have a pair of 250-plus
throwers, while the Ducks will
counter with defending Pac-10
titlist Reidar Lorentzen (265-0
last weekend, lifetime best of
286-6) and possibly Frode
Stormry (lifetime best of 254-0),
who is recovering from an in
jury.
Finally, the Ducks will have
two 60-plus shot putters - Vince
Goldsmith and Dean Crouse -
facing Jeff Johnson, who has a
best of 58-7 1/2.
"Looking at the marks, they
look about the same while we
look to be improved,” says
Whitby.
New faces, returnees ready
for track duel against Huskies
By JODY MURRAY
Of the Emerald
As the women’s dual meet
track season gets underway
Saturday, coach Tom Heinonen
is eager to immerse the Duck
newcomers in the Hayward
Field madness.
The women's track team will
face the University of Washing
ton in their first dual meet of the
year.
"We want the freshmen to get
their feet wet in front of an
Oregon crowd,” Heinonen said
at Wednesday’s rainy practice.
"They're scared."
But even if they’re a bit ner
vous, Oregon’s freshmen don't
lack talent.
Last weekend at the Martin
Luther King Games, two new
comers tied or broke school
records in their events.
Karen McDonald broke Kathy
Picknell’s discus record of
161-6 with a 161-9 toss at the
King Games. McDonald’s best is
163-2, set while at Watertown
High School in South Dakota.
And in the high jump, Trisha
King tied teammate Jeanne
Borchardt’s 5-8'/4 record. King’s
personal best is an inch higher
at 5-9%, set while attending
California’s Menlo-Atherton
High.
In addition, freshman Quenna
Beasley moved to number three
on the Oregon shot put list with
a 46-5’/2 effort.
With the new faces and a
strong crew of returnees, Hein
onen doesn’t expect any prob
lems in taking the team title in
the Washington dual Saturday.
The first field event begins at
noon.
Some individual events, how
ever, should give the track
happy crowd a good show.
The Huskies’ strongest per
former is distance runner
Regina Joyce, who will probably
run a 1,500/3,000 meter double
Saturday. With the 1981 season
barely two weeks old, Joyce has
already run a 9:20 3,000 and
4:34.2 mile, which converts to
about a 4:12 1,500 meter.
"Wherever Regina Joyce
runs, we’re going to be chal
lenged,” Heinonen said.
Oregon will counter Joyce
with Eryn Forbes and Lisa
O’Dea in the 3,000. O’Dea has
already run a AlAW-qualifying
9:36.6, and Forbes has run
9:31.39.
Oregon’s Leann Warren, who
Heinonen said is ‘‘going great
guns’’ in light of her winning
performance in the King
Games’ 800, will try the 400
against Washington.
Warren's best open 400 is
54.22, although she clocked a
52.8 relay leg last weekend. Her
toughest competition will be
teammate Grace Bakari, who
has a best of 53.1.
A duel to watch on the field
will be the javelin between
Oregon’s Sally Harmon and the
Huskies’ Deanna Carr. Last
weekend, Carr defeated Har
mon in the Stanford Invitational,
but Harmon, a sophomore, has
a lifetime best of 169-10 while
Carr’s PR is 167-4.
