Cheerleader in uniform
Hughes' efforts surpass teammate Harmon, her own expectations
By Carol Morton
OftocEmwaM
Looking more like a
cheerleader after a hard practice
of body-splitting leaps and
stretches than the skilled javelin
thrower she is, Lynda Hughes
steps lightly across the track after
practice Her full dark blonde hair
and stylish blue-and-white
sweatsuit dispels any lingering
notion of women javelin throwers
as husky-voiced, burly, unfemin
ine hulks
"Some people take on the role
in their daily lives," Hughes says
playfully imitating the gorilla-type
waddle of weight-lifters “I'm a
javelin thrower when I throw
Otherwise, I'm a woman.”
Words such as these might
temporarily distract a listener from
Hughes' dedication to the javelin
Hughes surprised the unsuspect
ing Hayward Field crowd at her
first meet in an Oregon uniform by
breaking Patty Kearney's school
record

With her 188-4 toss in the
pouring rain at UCLA, which
broke the school record she just
had set the previous week,
Hughes is ranked fourth in the
U.S. by Track and Field News
Kate Schmidt of the Pacific Coast
Club holds the American record
(227-5). Hughes is about 20 feet
short of being internationally
ranked
Hughes’ main goal is to im
prove every meet "I have an ul
timate (season) goal of 190,
which may not even be realistic
anymore I'll probably surpass
that.’’ she predicts
In fact. Hughes wants to be the
best in the world ' That's saying a
lot, a lot, a lot," she admits, "but
anyone that's out to pursue a goal
wants to be the best in it. I'm not
saying I'll be number one, or that it
is even one of my (immediate)
goals But I wouldn’t be out doing
it if I didn't expect to improve up to
my potential "
Hughes' potential had to be

quickly re-evaluated after
surpassing pre-season expecta
tions. Even Scott Irving, women s
throws coach, who himself
preaches a positive mental atti
tude. seemed caught off-guard by
her early success ' I didn't expect
her to grasp the concepts so
early Whatever she does from
here on out is just icing on the
cake.”
Hughes seems unimpressed by
her success 'Td like to see
success for the whole group It's
not me anymore, it's the team. I
care about them all I really want
them to do well. I can hardly wait
for Sally (Harmon, last year's
AIAW champion) to do well I'd
have visions before the season
started Sally would throw really
well, better than me, and I'd go up
and give her a big hug."
Hughes, a walk-on this year,
has ousted Sally Harmon from
the No 1 position on the team
It's a situation that seems ripe for
tension and nvalry Rozlyn Rouse,
who gave up a scholarship at BYU
to walk-on here says that she has
never experienced the sense of
camaraderie that exists between
the Oregon throwers elsewhere
Each thrower insists she’s not
trying to beat anyone "I get in
spired by others, by Lynda, but I
don't think beat It's not my style,"
says Harmon, who usually throws
farther later in the season “You
want to be like a pea in the pod, as
good as them."
Hughes says she and Harmon
watch films of themselves and
analyze each other's technique
"Sally's a talker Whatever she
says is so good for me," Hughes
says “Competition has brought
us much closer"
The Newberg native was dis
covered in her high school
freshman year after hurling a
softball 205 feet, the furthest a girl
had thrown the ball since the
beginning of the physical fitness
tests Throwing a javelin requires
a different technique, but as
Hughes says, "if you have an arm,
you have an arm ."
After an unhappy two months at
Florida State, Hughes relin
quished her scholarship there to
come home and work She
attended George Fox College,
where her father works, for winter
and spring terms
"It says a lot tor her to have
given up a scholarship,” Irving
says “But the process was good
It made her more dedicated ”

OSU triumphs
Oregon swept
Oregon State s women raffled
oft six runs in the bottom of the
fifth inning of Tuesday's second
game in Corvallis to sweep a
softball double-header from Ore
gon
The Beavers shut out the Ducks
3-0 in the first game and erased a
2-0 Oregon lead en route to their
6-2 nightcap triumph The losses
dropped Oregon to 6-9-1 on the
season
In both games the Duck women
were unable to come up with the
big defensive play when they
needed it, and they paid the price
with their fourth and fifth losses in
five days Oregon has won only
once in that time
OSU picked up single unearned
runs in the second and third in
nings of the opener, and added an
insurance run in the sixth when
the Beavers’ Jo Ann Hiraoka
knocked in Sandy Pearsall
When Oregon s June Liu and
Vicki Hogan singled to open the
seventh, it looked as if the insura
nee run might be needed But the
next three Ducks went down in
order to extinguish the threat
In the second game it looked
like the Ducks might finally get to
the Beavers, who are 4-0 against
Oregon this year Susan Tuggle
delivered the big blow in the top of
the fifth with a two-out triple,
scoring Ruth House and Molly
Bames House had reached base
on a fielder's choice and Bames
on a single
But the Ducks got into trouble
in the bottom of the fifth
Oregon might have gotten out
of the inning in good shape, but
pitcher Janet Wright, who had a
no-hitter entering the inning,
threw high trying to catch the
runner at third on a bouncer back
to the box With two outs the flood
gates opened, as OSU collected
six runs on five hits and a walk
Oregon will try again to turn the
tables on their rivals Sunday when
they return to Corvallis for a 1
