Harriers zip to easy titles
By Marcus Prater
Of the Emerald
Although Oregon didn't
crown any individual champions
in cross country this weekend,
both the men and the women
easily took team titles in two
separate meets
The men, placing five runners
in the top 11, won their seventh
straight Northern Division
championship Friday with a
10-point victory over host-team
Washington State in Pullman
The women, also placing five
in the top 11, had an even easier
time with a six-team Washington
Invitational field at North Sea
Tac Park in Seattle The Ducks'
23 points were well ahead of
runner-up Washington's 55
Washington's premier runner
Peter Koech took the
10,000-meter title with a 29:47
clocking over Washington
State's hilly golf course Oregon
junior Jim Hill was second with a
30:04 time as the Ducks and
Cougars swept the top seven
places
Greg Erwin and Vance Blow
finished third and fifth,
respectively for the Ducks
Kathy Hayes, Oregon's
number-one runner, made the
trip, but didn't run because of a
sprained ligament in her left foot
she suffered during the week
This throws a wrench into
coach Tom Heinonen's plans of
a District 8 Championship and a
trip to nationals
"The middle of last week is
when she sprained the
ligament.'' Heinonen said "She
can't run a step right now and
her competing at district
depends on how the injury
develops
Washington s Regina Joyce,
whom Hayes defeated two
weeks ago, took the individual
5,000 meter crown in 17:01 —14
seconds quicker than runner
up Margaret Groos, running

finished third with a time of

for the Ducks while freshman
Kim Roth was sixth
The real surprise for the
Ducks came when Lisa Martin
and Claudette Groenendaal.
taking up the slack caused by
Hayes absence, finished
seventh and 11th. respectively
We had a come-through
performance from the two we
needed it most from — Lisa and
Claudette Our fourth and fifth
runners are our most important
when we get into a meet of this
kind.' Heinonen said of the duo
"Lisa put in her first complete
performance of the season that
she has felt satisfied with
Claudette has had marked im
provement over her last two
races She is feeling com
