Crouser toss steals show
By JOHN HEALY
Of the Emerald
All the talk last week centered
on Alberto Salazar. Would he
set an American record Satur
day in the 5,000 against
Kansas?
Or would his slightly tender
legs prevent him from dipping
below Marty Liquori’s record of
13:15.06?
But before Salazar had an
opportunity to answer that
question, sophomore Dean
Crouser stole the show from the
distance runner by surpassing
i one of Oregon’s most hallowed
records — Olympic gold
medalist Mac Wilkins’ mark of
212-6 in the discus.
The Oregon sophomore’s
1 213-0 toss was one of 10 wins
the Ducks posted against Kan
sas on the way to a 97-56
victory.
Crouser’s record-breaking
throw was part of a series that
included tosses of 203-0, 198-3,
202-11, 204-9 and 202-3. His
average for the series was
204-0.
"I knew I could do something
today because I’ve never
opened over 200 feet,” Crouser
said. ‘‘Everything was good
today. I felt good physically, the
conditions were good, and alth
ough the wind could have been
better, it was good for Hayward
Field.”
Crouser attributed part of his
success Saturday to the south
erly gusts of wind that tunneled
through Hayward Field. Head
winds translate into added dis
tance for discus throwers, said
Crouser.
The sudden improvement
over his previous best of 205-11
was achieved by finding a solu
tion to some technical prob
lems.
“If I couldn’t have solved my
technical problems I couldn’t
have gotten (the record) this
year.
1 The problems stemmed from
Crouser’s spin movement
across the discus ring. He had
been having difficulty keeping
his center of gravity balanced as

Alberto Salazar checks his time as he crosses the start/finish line
on the bell lap of the 5,000.
he moved, but finally soivea ine
problem this week.
While he felt fairly confident in
his technique going into Satur
day’s meet, he wasn’t too sure
about his overall condition.
“I came out today and wasn't
really expecting much because I
hurt my knee in a weight wor
kout this week. I was throwing
as hard as I could (during prac
tice) but I could only hit 190,”
said Crouser.
Once he got in the ring Satur
day, though, things brightened
up. He was in the 210 range in
warmups and then went over
200 feet on his first competitive
meet throw.
“Today I just felt good,” said
Crouser. “Usually my opening
mark is 180 and today it was
202. It (the 213 toss) was a good
technical throw, although I real
ly didn’t expect it to be 213."
Crouser, who went 186-1 as a
freshman, expects even better
things in the future.
"There is still a lot there. I’d
really like to get the NCAA
record (214-7, set by Washing
ton State’s Borys Chambul in
1976) and 220 is a realistic goal
for this year. But it’s more
realistic next year."
Realism hit Salazar just after
ine gun went uii m me j.uuu
meters.
“Right from the beginning it
just didn’t feel smooth. My legs
just didn’t feel good. The
hamstring hurt a little but it was
mainly just a week of not feeling
good,” Salazar said.
To break Liquori’s record,
Salazar needed to average 64
seconds per lap. He was on
pace for the first five laps, but
then began slipping into the
65-66 second range. After that,
the only question was whether
the Oregon senior could break
his career best of 13:22.
“I thought about going to 70’s
(seconds per lap) but then I
thought ‘What the hell, I can’t
start quitting like that. I thought
I’d run in the low 20's, but with
the wind, not much better.”
