Duck women edge Arizona 66-61 Excellent marks, coaching mistakes equal victory sans Warren Photo by David Corny Kathy Hayes By Mike Ripllnger O/tfM Em»mM It was a strange track meet The Oregon women outdueled the University of Arizona 66-61 in the sun Saturday at Hayward Field — without Leann Warren, who was out with a viral infection The meet provided some excellent marks, close finishes, and weird coaching moves, as the Oucks took advantage of some luck to defeat the Wildcats “it was a bizarre meet," said Oregon coach Tom Heinonen “But I’m realty im pressed with the great performances that some of our people had to get the win " Arizona had some great performances themselves, but one of them went for naught Joy Hansen, who won the 1,500 meters earlier in the meet, ran as a non scorer in the 800, which she also won. If she had counted, Arizona would have won the meet 64-63. ’’That’s the way it goes,’’ said Arizona coach Chris Murray "We ended up making a mistake We hoi one girt who was up because her sister goes to Oregon and two others who were fresh because they didn't run in the 1,500. Joy ran a strong race in the 1,500 earlier, so we thought it would be best not to count her. "If we had to do it over again, we would probably do it differently, but that's the way it goes — live and learn, " Murray said Arizona also had Robin Marks, last year's AIAW champion in the 400 meter hurdles, disqualified from the 100 hurdles because of two false starts Oregon's Chris Costello also was disqualified in the 100 hurdles, leaving the Ducks' Lexie Miller as an easy winner. Marks did come back in the 400 hurdles to beat Miller, but Arizona ended up getting only a single point in the 100 hurdles The Wildcats also lost out in the high jump when Charmaine Gale, the world junior champion who has topped 6-5, placed second to Oregon's Jeanne Bor chardt. who set a school record with a jump of 5-10. Arizona may have made mistakes to let Oregon in the meet, but the Ducks took advantage of that with some impressive marks of their own. Borchardt's, was just one of a number of excellent marks made by the Ducks. Freshman Kathy Hayes showed her steady improvement by breaking Eryn Forbes’ school record in the 5.000 by more than 23 seconds Forbes finished a close second, losing by only 3 seconds Oregon's Miller showed her usual versa tility by adding a victory in the tong jump, and a second in the 400 hurdles to her victory in the 100 hurdles Grace Bakari, normally a 400 runner, won the shorter 100 and 200 sprints Oregon showed a tot of grit in winning the meet without their automatic winner, Leann Warren “To beat a team as good as Arizona without Leann is a major accomplishment for everyone,” said Oregon coach Tom Heinonen “Leann gets a huge amount of attention, and deservedly so, but I'm happy that everyone else could pull together and win this without her I'm really happy for them." sportfolio Saturday’s regatta marked two more milestones for the Oregon crew.

Another pleasing thought tor the coach was the pitching of Heisler, who came in Thursday to shutdown USF while the Ducks were coming back “I would've liked to come away with two wins rather than what they call a learning ex perience,” said Sylvester. "We re ready to play anyone in the west now," Sylvester said "Now they know they can compete, " he said of his team Oregon's next chance to compete will come this after noon when they travel to Southern Oregon for a dou ble-header beginning at 2 p.m
