Ducks to host UW, WSU
By Steve Turcotte
Ot the Emerald
Chris Voelz, the Oregon volleyball coach,
knows that this is a crucial weekend for the
Ducks
For starters, even though Oregon is 0-2 in
league, it is still early in the NorPac Conference
volleyball season, giving the Ducks a chance to
get a few wins under their belts before it's too
late Second, it is one of the first Duck home
volleyball matches, and Voelz is hoping that
volleyball fans will flock to McArthur Court
Friday and Saturday nights
On Friday the Ducks, 7-6 overall, will take on
a tall and talented University of Washington
team Saturday the Ducks will play host to
Washington State Both matches begin at 7:30
p.m
"Washington is probably the most physically
dominating team at the net that we will play this
year." said Voelz. "They have real tall players
We know our coverage has got to be keen to be
able to pick up their blocks "
The Duck coverage will be spiced with two
new faces in the starting rotation due to injur
ies
Hayes, Ducks to run at Salem
By Marcus Prater
Of the Emerald
Oregon All-American Kathy
Hayes will run in her first meet of
the cross country season Sat
urday when the Ducks travel to
Salem for the Willamette Invita
tional
Hayes, a victim of a strained
Achilles tendon that kept her
from running in the Ducks' first
two meets, “seemed near 100
percent,” according to cross
country coach Tom Heinonen
"She ran an excellent work
out Tuesday, and its just a
matter of getting back into
competition," Heinonen said of
the sophomore
Another key runner for
Oregon Saturday will be Lisa
Martin Martin, a two-time All
American, dropped out of the
5,000 meter race at the Garrie
Franklin Classic — Oregon's
season-opening meet Sept 25
The junior did not compete in
last week's Cal Invitational.
“Martin needs to regain her
competitive edge, Heinonen
said
Oregon’s best two runners
thus far — Rosa Gutierrez and
Eryn Forbes — will sit this meet
out, but freshmen Kim Roth and
Gretchen Nelson are running
for the third straight week
"Most racers, if they feel good
about their races, would rather
run every two weeks But it is
acceptable tor both freshman to
run, because they were used to
that in high school. Heinonen
said "Later in the year they will
run every other week — which is
typical."
Oregon should not be ser
iously challenged for the team
title, even without its top run
ners Oregon State, some small
schools and a few members of
the Oregon Track Club are ex
pected to participate in the
meet
"We're in two different
leagues," Heinonen said of his
team and the competition. "The
only thing I know about Oregon
State is that I don't think they
signed anybody this season for
their track or cross country
teams Last year we handled
them easy "
The competition and the
5.000 meter course is fairly
easy, but Heinonen said, "Every
race is a stepping stone This
has importance, because it is
the second race for most every
one. Every time a race is run it is
important
This week is also beneficial
for the Ducks who aren't run
ning They will have a 15-day
break before the Oregon Track
Club Invitational Oct 17
"This break allows them
(Ducks) to train hard and still get
in a day or two of rest If they
would have ran this week there
would be very little time for
resting, and I like them to rest
before a race," Heinonen said
