Crouser wins pace men;
women fourth in NCAA
By Doug Levy
Of It— Bmurmkt
PROVO, Utah — For one team, it was a mild
surprise, tor the other a mild disappointment, as
both the Oregon men’s and women's track teams
placed fourth in the NCAA Track and Field
Championships Saturday
The men rode the first-place rollercoaster to
a 76-point total, finishing behind only University of
Texas El Paso (105), Tennessee (94), and Wa
shington State (85) Dean Crouser won both the
discus and the shotput, brother Brian brought
home the javelin crown and David Mack was a
winner in the 800 meters That accounted for 60 of
Oregon's 76 points, the other 16 coming via
fifth-place finishes by Jim Hill in the 1500 meters
and Bill McChesney in the 5000
The elder Crouser had already won the dis
cus title on Friday with a heave of 207-4, and the
shotput victory only added icing to the cake He
popped a throw of 68-4% on his fifth attempt, a
personal best, to hold off Illinois' Mike Lehmann,
who had a throw of 68-4
Meanwhile, Crouser s younger brother Brian,
only a freshman, was busy making the his sur
name the toast of Eugene as he uncorked a
personal best of 274-7 to win the javelin The toss,
which came on his third attempt, was more than
enough to defeat Pacific 10 Conference cham
pion Laslo Babits of Washington State, who had a
toss of 263-3 The win gave Brian a shot at
winning four consecutive javelin titles, while Dean
will attempt to win two doubles in a row in 1983.
Friday, Mack had won a tactical 800 race,
winning with a relatively slow time of 1:48 00 Jack
McIntosh of Western Michigan actually led the
race with 20 meters to go, but Mack's vaunted
finishing kick gunned him down The 800 victory
capped off a bizarre season for Mack, who had
originally elected not to return to Oregon
Altogether, the four first-place crowns for the
men matched the all-time record set in 1962,
when Jerry Tarr won both hurdles, Harry Jerome
was a victor in the 200 and Dyrol Burleson won the
mile
In the distance races, Oregon's hopes for
victories were dashed by pouring rain and hail.
Hill was outkicked down the backstretch in the
1500, finishing behind meet favorite Jim Spivey of
Indiana, and Mark Fricker of Oregon State, who
took third Hill's fifth-place time was 3:48 37 In
r
the 5000, McChesney actually led for a while, but
at the finish, it was the amazing Suleiman Nyam
bui of UTEP taking the title, his 15th NCAA crown
in four years. McChesney was fifth in 14:12.06.
At the same time, the distance races were the
key to the fourth-place finish for the women.
Leann Warren won the 1500 meters, Eryn Forbes
was second in the 10,000 and third in the 5000,
Kathy Hayes was second in the 5000, Rosa Gu
tierrez was third in the 3000 and Claudette
Groenendaal took 11th in the 1500 to give the
Ducks 62 of their 104 points.
Forbes had started Oregon off by taking
second in the 10,000 on Thursday, and Saturday,
she brought home a third in the 5000 with a time of
16:27.71. Hayes, a freshman, was ahead of
Forbes in second with a mark of 16:22 80
In the 1500, Warren used her strong kick to
win in 4:17 90, and Groenendaal gave the women
an added bonus with an Hth-place time of
4:26 03 Saturday, Warren came back to finish
third in the 800 in 2:06.58, losing her chance for
second when New Mexico's Regina Dramiga
out-kicked her down the stretch. Ranza Clark
added seven more points for the Ducks in the 800,
finishing sixth in 2:07.57.
Gutierrez fought her way to a third in the 3000
after having to watch her teammates in the heats
all week — there were no heats for the 3000.
Gutierrez moved into third in the home stretch
and stayed there, posting a solid 9:30 92 clocking.
The bulk of Oregon’s other points came in the
javelin, where Lynda Hughes was second with a
191-9 toss, and defending champ Sally Harmon
third with a lifetime best of 186-6.
Kris Costello gave the women their remaining
points by taking 9th place in the 100-meter hur
dles, posting a 13.90 time in the driving rain. Two
other women, Lisa Nicholson in the 400 hurdles
and Roz Rouse in the javelin, just missed giving
Oregon extra points, both finishing 13th in their
respective events
So for the women, fourth place was a bit of a
disappointment. The Ducks had come to Provo
looking for a second-place finish, only to watch
Lexie Miller get disqualified in the 400 hurdles and
Karen McDonald and Ouenna Beasley fail to
qualify in the discus. But the Ducks did everything
expected of them in the other events and more.
They will lose only Costello next year, and with the
addition of a few sprinters, Oregon could be a
serious title contender in 1983.
