Ducks sweep OTC titles despite rain Hill, Hayes motor to win By Steve Turcotte Of fft* Emerald CRESWELL - Instead of calling it the Oregon Track Club Cross Country Invitational, meet officials should have called it the University of Oregon Invita tional Sunday at Emerald Valley Golf Course on a wet and windy morning, the University of Oregon men's and women's cross country runners made mincemeat of their competition as each posted team titles The Ducks' Jim Hill and Kathy Hayes both grabbed individual titles in their respective races Hill, who has really never been healthy for a full year of collegiate cross country, is beginning to make his mark The Duck junior stayed close with the lead pack, then blew them away at the halfway point in winning the 10,000-meter men’s race in a course record of 29:09 8 "I felt really good about the race,'' said Hill, whose time eclipsed the old mark previously held by ex-Oregon star Bill McChesney of 29:35 "The first half of the race felt fast, especially the first 300-400 yards But after that we settled down and ran a good pace I ran my own pace the last half of the race ” Hill's mid-season condition has Oregon Coach Bill Dellinger all smiles these days. Ever since 1§*> i ■■i - «*BS®S Photo by Kevin Clark Kathy Hayes (second from right) looks to be a bit tied up, but she was able to put away the field, running to the women's title. From left to right, Rosa Gutierrez, Eryn Forbes and Regina Joyce push Hayes. last year, when the Ducks failed to qualify for the NCAA championships for the first time in many years, Dellinger has been worrying about how to get the Ducks back to the national championships He need not worry any longer — Hill and Oregon's depth are probably the answer "I was pleased to see Jim run very well,” Dellinger said. "He is in super condition and my hope is that he can stay healthy In juries have really bothered him in cross country the last couple of seasons. ” Hill, too, is hoping for an in jury-free season "I haven't been in cross country shape the last two sea sons because of various injur ies,” Hill said. "Injuries always kind of scare you." After Hill, the next four Ducks to finish were John Zishka in fifth, Greg Erwin in seventh, Vance Blow ninth, and fresh man Harold Kupchaldt in 16th The Ducks easily won the team title, scoring 38 points Athletics West was runner-up W III I W»U. Kathy Hayes, Oregon’s soph omore running sensation, wait ed a little longer than Hill to clinch her race Running easily with team mates Eryn Forbes and Rosa Gutierrez and Washington's Regina Joyce, Hayes began pulling away with about a half mile to go She swept past Forbes, Gutierrez and Joyce to win in a course record time of 16:13.5. “I felt pretty strong the entire way ar,ound,” Hayes said. “Luckily, the first mile felt pretty comfortable. That really helped later on in the race.” Hayes, who just recently recovered from an achilles in jury, appears to be recuperating nicely. “Kathy is amazing,” Heinon en said. "She hasn't been able to do some training because of the injury, but she still ran a minute faster than last year.” What also impressed Heinon en is that Hayes beat Joyce, who was said to be in a very fit condition It's quite an acheivement for Kathy to beat Regina because I had heard that she was proba bly in the best shape of her life," the Oregon coach said. Other good performances were turned in by Oregon run ners Freshman Kim Roth from Sprague High School, finished sixth, Lisa Martin ended up in 13th, Claudette Groenendaal wound up 15th and Allison Snow finished 17th. The Ducks scored 28 points to wrap up the team trophy 1 Month of October BUT ONE EGG McMUFFIN.
