Warren, McDonald provide Kansas with stars from the
Emerald City
And Kansas, she said, is the name of the star.
— Wizard of Oz
(j linda’s comment about Dorothy takes on
new light when applied to the stellar per
formances last weekend of Emerald City
athletes Leann Warren and Karen McDonald.
The Oregon duo, taking a "break” from
Saturday's track meet against Washington
State, traveled to Lawrence, Kan., to compete
in the Kansas Relays.
McDonald, a freshman from South Dakota,
began the fireworks Friday by winning the
discus competition with a school- and meet
record toss of 167-10.
Warren, the veteran sophomore, then added
the coup de grace Saturday by defeating
American record holder Madeline Manning
Mims in the 800 meters with a sizzling 2:01.3 —
the fastest time by an American this season.
Monday, it was back to the lap-running,
disc-tossing grind of practice in the Emerald
City. Warren did some speed work with the
sprint team while McDonald made some
throws and went to the training room to look
after a sore shoulder.
McDonald, waiting for trainer Rick Troxel to
attend her, said the outcome at the Kansas
Relays was a revenge, of sorts.
When McDonald was a junior at Watertown
High School, her best was 163-2. At a Kansas
high school, a woman named Robin Small had
thrown the discus 161 feet.
Speculation was hot about what would
happen if the two ever met. Their paths failed to

The elder Vinson said fly-tying
is basically common sense
combined with “a few trade
secrets."
Of course, it can become just
as complicated as the tier wants
it to be, said Vinson.
Some buffs study the makeup
of insects through books while
others collect bugs from
streams to mimic the creatures
down to the finest detail.
Vinson is respected by his
peers in the McKenzie club as
one of their top fly tiers. He
opened his case of flies and
held up his prize fly that hooked
an award-winning catch. “I’ve
retired it," Vinson said, laughing
as he put it back.
Hosfield said he began tying
flies as a 14-year-old in bed with
the measles. “I sent in $1 to get
a fly-tying kit and sat there for a
week and taught myself.’’
A good book for beginners is
“Western Trout Fly-Tying Man
ual” by Jack Dennis, while for
advanced fly-tying there is “Ty
ing and Fishing the Fuzzy
Nymphs” by E.H. Rosborough,
Hosfield says. He also suggests
classes taught at Lane Com
munity College or by the Caddis
Fly Angling Shop at 450 Willa
mette St.
