Clock pushes Warren, Forbes to top times
By JODY MURRAY
Of the Emerald
Running enthusiasts often
talk about that little clock inside
a distance runner’s head that
keeps them on a distinct pace
lap after lap
That same person will also
say that despite this “inner aid,"
it helps to have some competi
tion to push the runner along.
Unfortunately last Saturday,
Eryn Forbes and Leann Warren
had none of the latter. So they
called up carloads of the former
and clocked two fine times to
help the Ducks plaster a sparse
Cal-Berkeley team, 93-27.
Forbes clocked a 16:07.7 in
the 5,000 meters to obliterate
Molly Morton’s school record by
almost 11 seconds. Warren then
came within .08 second of
equalling her personal best in
the 1,500.
Warren’s accomplishment
may not seem that impressive
until you know that her best time
was set at the Olympic Trials
after a furious kick in the final
stretch. Saturday’s time was set
with Warren’s competition,
teammate Robin Baker, 15
seconds behind.
But after crossing the tape,
Warren glanced at the Hayward
Field scoreboard to check her
time, then shook her head.
Disappointment?
"Yeah, I am," she said later.
"I was so close to my PR that I
should have beaten it. Maybe if I
had started (kicking) a little bit
sooner.”
“She runs 4:15 and is mildly
disappointed,” said Warren s
coach, Tom Heinonen. "It
shows how far she's come.
"It'll be interesting to see
what they can do with people
breathing down their necks,”
Heinonen said, referring to both
distance runners.
For the first seven laps of the
5,000, Forbes did have
someone breathing over her
shoulder. Cal’s Cindy Schmandt
tucked in behind Forbes as the
two outdistanced the rest of the
field. But as they entered the
scoreboard turn with just over a
mile to go, Schmandt collapsed
and fell.
It was later learned that
Schmandt had been ill, which
brought up questions of
whether she should have run at
all.
“I was going to start a surge
Softball squad finishes
with 0-5 tourney record
Try as it might, the Oregon
women’s softball team was un
able to pick up even one game
as the Ducks finished at the
bottom of the California
Invitational.
In the last two days of the
three-day tournament at Berke
ly, the Duck couldn’t get a
streak going.
Friday the Ducks lost a pair to
San Francisco, 11-1, and Cal
Berkeley, 7-0, with Oregon’s
cfnly run coming on a homer by
Vicki Hogan in the opener. Six
errors by the Ducks didn't help
the cause.
In Saturday s game the Ducks
again dropped the game to San
Francisco.
The Ducks gained the lead
early with a run in the third and
added two more in the top of the
sixth for a 3-1 lead.
But a three-run rally by the
San Francisco team in the bot
tom of the sixth inning pinned
down a 4-3 win for the Dons, as
the Ducks were unable to get
around the bases in the top of
the sixth.
Oregon is now 4-10 for the
season after going 0-5 in the
tournament.

right then because I thought I
could lose her in the wind
(blowing down the back
straight)," Forbes said. "Then I
heard this clunk-clunk’ behind
me.
“I slowed down then, but not
for long, because I knew I had to
keep going to get a good time.”
Other exceptional times, and
distances, for Oregon were
Lexie Miller’s two school
records in the long jump
(19-9'/2) and 400 hurdles (59.9),
Sally Harmon’s 165-11 toss in
the javelin and Karen McDon
ald's 165-4 discus throw.
One of the bigger success
stories comes from the woman
who finished second to McDon
ald, Quenna Beasley. Her
162-10 toss Saturday continues
her steady improvement from
the season’s start when her
personal best was 149-5.
Beasley, a freshman, said the
key has been coach Scott Irv
ing, who has stressed technique
work with her and McDonald,
another freshman
"It just keeps coming,” Beas
ley said. "I surprise myself every
week.”
