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

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
