*• Four Duck marks fall at Cal meet In an impressive warmup to next weekend’s AIAW championships, Oregon’s track team set four school records Sunday at the Pacific Coast Invitational in Berkeley, Cal. Lexie Miller recorded two wins for Oregon in the 400- and 100-meter hurdles. Miller clocked a 58.41 in the longer race to defeat Arizona’s Robin Marks, who owns the fastest U S. time this year. Miller's time broke her own Oregon record of 59.9 set earlier this year. The order of finish was the same in the short hurdle race, as Miller clocked a 13.97 to Marks’ 14.04 Ore gon’s Kris Costello was third in 14.26. Grace Bakari won the 400 to lower her Oregon record from 53.7 to 53.3. Bakari’s teammate, Lena Fritzson, had a personal best of 55.53 in that race. In the 3,000, Lisa O'Dea finished second in an Oregon-record 9:22.4. Joan Hanson of Arizona was the win ner in 9:03.5. Oregon's Eryn Forbes finished just behind O’Dea in 9:22.9. O'Dea’s time erased Molly Morton's standard of 9:25.1, set in 1979. When this season began, Morton held the Oregon record in the 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000. All three have now fallen, the other two to Forbes Oregon’s final record-breaking performance came on the field, where Karen McDonald heaved the discus 173-8 to continue her assault on the school standard. Her old mark, set at the Northwest championships, was 170-11. Her throw only was enough for fourth, however, as Arizona’s British transplant and world leader, Meg Rit chie, threw 213-10 to win. Mariette Harriden of South Africa was third at 185-2 and Lorna Griffin of Athletics West t rew 178-0 on her last attempt. The Ducks also picked up two more qualifiers for nationals to bring their total to 11 individuals, plus the defending champion mile relay team. Melanie Batiste won the 200 in 24.10 to nip the AIAW standard of 24 14. Batiste is slowly returning to form after suffering from hamstring problems through most of the season. Batiste also finished second in the 100 with a 12.13 time. Ranza Clark knocked two seconds off her season best in the 800 to finish in 2:09.03. The AIAW mark is 2:09.64. Former Oregon athlete Patty Kearney, now competing for the Ore gon Track Club, won the javelin with a 184-4 throw. Oregon’s Sally Harmon was third at 162-3, behind Oregon State’s Jeanne Eggart (162-9), who Harmon had beaten the weekend before at the Northwest meet Oregon’s Leann Warren did not compete because a slight leg muscle strain.

The second game was all Beavers as they jumped to a 4-1 lead after three innings. OSU used seven hits to bring in six runs and only committed one error. The Ducks were unable to capitalize on eight hits. Oregon ended the season with a 9-19 record.
