Mile heads Twilight Meet
Fast field could snap 4-minute mark
The buildup, as usual, will be for the mile run
tonight at the Twilight Meet at Hayward Field.
The steeplechase will be the first event,
starting at 5:30 p.m.
But it is the mile run, the last event, that
attracts attention. Competition in the Twilight Mile
will probably pare down to Tom Byers of Athletics
West and Bill McChesney, an Oregon redshirt
running for the Oregon Track Club.
Byers has clocked a 3:57.2 this season.
McChesney ran 3:59.1 last year and seems to be
in much better shape this season, as exemplified
by his near-record performance in the 5,000 at the
Northern Division Relays.
Breaking the four-minute barrier is a tradition
in this race. In the 11 times the race has been run,
15 runners have run under four minutes. Matt
Centrowitz continued the tradition last year with a
winning time of 3:59.7.
Others in the Twilight Mile include steeple
chase star and former Oregon athlete Ken Martin;
Oregon’s David Mack, the Pac-10 champ at 800
meters; Rudy Chapa, the second-place finisher in
the Pac-10 1,500; Mike Friton, who took second in
the Pac-10 steeplechase; and possibly Jim Hill,
who ran a 3:41 1,500 at the Northern Division
Relays.
Another highlight on the track will be the
10.000, which will feature 1972 Olympic marathon
champion Frank Shorter and Duncan McDonald
of Athletics West. Shorter's best in this event is
27:46.
The best show on the field will be the javelin
with Oregon’s Reidar Lorenzten and the OTC trio
of Duncan Atwood, Bob Roggy and Rod Ewaliko.
Ewaliko won the Olympic Trials last June with a
throw of 291-0. Roggy is a former American
record holder and Lorentzen won the Pac-10 title
last Friday.
There will be three women’s events — the
3.000, 400 hurdles and discus. The first event will
include Rosa Gutierrez, the state Class A cham
pion from Glendale High School who has signed a
letter of intent with the Ducks.
Since the meet is co-sponsored by the athle
tic department and the Oregon Track Club,
students with valid I D. will be charged $1. Gen
eral admission seats are $2.
Women spikers start nationals
Probably the best group
Oregon has ever brought to the
AIAW track nationals will begir
competition today in Austin
Texas.
Thirteen Ducks made the trip
to the sweltering heat of Austin
Oregon finished in a tie for tenth
at last year’s nationals, held al
Hayward Field. The team favor
ite this year is UCLA, followed
by Tennesee, North Carolina
State and Florida State.
Oregon coach Tom Heinonen
has figured the Ducks can score
anywhere from 20 to 40 points,
which should place them well
into the top 10.
Golfers 25th at NCAA
Oregon's men’s golf team
completed the first day of the
NCAA national tournament in
25th place Wednesday, 22
strokes back of leader Oral
Roberts University.
The Ducks totaled 309
strokes after playing 18 holes at
the Palo Alto, Calif, course. Oral
Roberts leads the field with a
287 strokes.
But the University of New
Mexico and the University of
Houston closely trail the favored
Cougars. New Mexico came in
with 288, followed by Houston
with 289. Arizona State and
Texas A&M tied for fourth with
293 strokes.
The Ducks are 25 over par,
but 19 of those strokes came on
the front nine, said Oregon golf
coach Jim Ferguson. “We’re

still close enough after one day
to still move up considerably.
‘ And we only have one player
who’s ever played at nationals
before.”
The Ducks are lead by fresh
man Shell Joyner, who came in
at 38-37 for a 75 total. Joyner is
nine strokes behind Oral
Robert’s Joel Rassatch,
33-33-66.
Following Rassatch are Rick
Dalpos, Purdue, 34-35-69;
JayDon Blake, Utah State,
33-37-70 and Mike Putman, New
Mexico, 34-36-70.
Oregon's Scott Kreiger shot a
40-37-77, followed by Steve
Bowen (41-37-78), Eric John
son (40-39-79) and Dave
DeLong (37-43-80).
The team’s will continue the
72-hole tournament today.

Today's competition will only
include qualifying heats, with
finals starting Friday. Saturday’s
events all will be finals.
Leann Warren looks to be
Oregon’s strongest hope for a
high finish in the team race.
Warren will attempt a difficult
800 and 1,500 meter double. If
she makes it to the final race of
each event, which she should
barring mishap, Warren will
have to run five races. Two of
them will be today — 1,500
semis and 800 trials.
But Warren has the creden
tials to pull it off. She owns the
year’s top 800 time (2:01.3) and
holds the collegiate record in
the mile (4:30.36).
Lexie Miller will attempt a
double in the hurdle events. She
has best of 13.67 in the 100 and
58.41 in the 400, which both
rank in the top 10 nationally.
Others competing for Oregon
will be Grace Bakari (400, mile
relay), Melanie Batiste (200),
Quenna Beasley (discus), Ran
za Clark (800), Kris Costello
(100 hurdles), Eryn Forbes
(5,000), Lena Fritzson (mile
