It never gets easy for Ducks:
Strong Salukis take on men
By Doug Levy
Of the Emerald
After facing UCLA, Washington State
and Cal the past three weeks, the Oregon
men’s track team would love to face a patsy.
Instead, Oregon (4-1) takes on a strong
Southern Illinois team (2-1) Saturday at
Hayward Field.
The Salukis were ranked eighth in the
nation among dual meet teams a year ago,
and they’ve also won eight consecutive
Missouri Valley Conference track titles.
The Ducks, meanwhile, came up with a
big effort last week to defeat Cal 87-67, and
assistant coach John Gillespie says a let
down is possible.
Southern Illinois is led by high jumper
Stephen Wray, who has a best of 7-7, and
sprinter Mike Franks (10.59;20.98). In addi
tion SIU is strong in the relays, the hurdles
and the jumps, all vulnerable areas for
Oregon.
But the Ducks will have a distinct ad
vantage in the throwing events and in the
distances from 800 meters on up.
“If we compete like we did against
UCLA and Cal, the meet will go just fine,”
says Gillespie, “but if we don’t, we could be
in trouble."
SIU boasts Tom Ross (8:41.4) in the
steeplechase against Oregon’s rapidly im
proving freshman Garth Morrisette (8.56.26).
In the 5,000, Brad Simpson and Harold
Kuphaldt take on the Salukis' Mike Keane
(14:07.39), and Lamar Hurd faces Terry Taylor
(24-5) in the long jump.
Oregon will be without Brian Crouser in
the javelin, distance runner John Zishka and
long jumper Melvin Renfro Saturday.
The meet will start at 12:30 p.m. with the
hammer throw, with running events beginn
ing at 2 p.m.
Injuries are not nearly the problem they
were for Oregon a week ago, either. Dwight
Robertson is probable for Saturday, Parrish
Nixon will run in the mile relay, Frode Stor
myr will throw the javelin, and Dean Crouser
is back, albeit 15 pounds lighter after spen
ding half of last week in bed with a fever.
“I told him he’ll be faster now,” jokes
Gillespie.
With the Pac-10's quickly approaching,
Oregon is likely to insert senior Greg Erwin
into the 5,000 meters, and Stormyr will shoot
for an NCAA qualifying 245-4 in the javelin.
Oregon has already qualified 28
athletes in 16 events for the Pac-10 cham
pionships and eight athletes In seven events
for the NCAA's.
Don Ward and Joaquim Cruz are the
latest NCAA qualifiers. Ward ran a 51.18 in
the 400 hurdles against Cal and Cruz blazed
to a 1:46.61 800 against the Bears. The NCAA
qualifying marks in those events are 51.20
and 1:48.11 respectively.

Keith Washington is happy here after jumping a lifetime best of
6-103A last week, but he'll have his hands full Saturday when he
meets the Salukis' Stephen Wray who has jumped 7-7.
Oregon out to corral fast Mustangs
By Paul Danzer
Ot the Emerald
Life in the fast lane continues this week for the
Oregon women’s track team. The Ducks host the
fleet-footed Mustangs of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo in
their final home dual meet of the season. The meet
takes off with the long jump competition beginning
at noon Saturday at Hayward field.
The Mustangs are the defending NCAA Division
II national champions, and are packed with 11 return
ing NCAA Division II All-Americans. At last year's
NCAA meet, the Mustangs compiled an amazing
total of 256 points. That total was one point shy of
equaling the combined scores of the second and
third place teams.
It is easy to see why Oregon coach Tom
Heinonen expects an exciting afternoon when the
two teams tangle for the first time ever in dual meet
competition.
“It’s a real close meet,” says Heinonen. ‘‘We’re
approaching it as a good, exciting track meet, not as
a do or die meet.”
If Oregon was running with a full form chart, the
Ducks would probably outdistance the Mustangs
without much trouble. But injuries have slowed the
Ducks all spring, and the situation didn’t get any bet
ter this week.
Heinonen had hoped that sprinter Grace Bakari
would be able to shed the bandages of a severed
Achilles tendon in time to compete in the 400 meters
against the Mustangs. But Oregon’s 400-meter
record-holder is not ready to toe the line, and most
likely will have to wait till next season to do so.
“It would have be6n a nice boost,” says
Heinonen of his hope that Bakari would be back in
time for the meet, “But She’s just not ready yet."
The Ducks also lost high jumper Shari Collins to
the redshirt list this week and the status of Lynda
Hughes in the javelin is in doubt for Saturday.
Hughes managed a season’s-best throw of 188-1 at
last weekend’s Mt. SAC Relays, but the elbow pro
blems that have plagued her all spring have flared up
again this week.
Whether or not Hughes competes, Heinonen
sees the javelin as a key event Saturday. The
Mustangs have DeneMa Barnes with a season's best
of 169-4 and a lifetime best of 174-2. The Ducks have
four NCAA qualifiers including Hughes in the event,
and all of them have thrown over 160 feet this spring.
“We've got to score a bundle of points in the
javelin,” says Heinonen.
One big event which promises to be a treat is the
100-meter hurdles. Cal Poly has Janet Yarbrough, a
returning All-American, and C.C. Chandler with a
lifetime best of 13.95 and a season’s best of 14.12
entered in the event. The Ducks counter with Lexie
Miller Beck, who was one second off of her school
record 13.67 at Mt. SAC last week, and Kay Garnett,
who has a best effort of 13.77.
Another matchup which will be interesting if it oc
curs is a duel between Oregon's Kathy Hayes and Cal
Poly’s Amy Harper in either the 5,000 or 1,500. Harper
edged Hayes in the 5,000 at the Golden Bear Invita
tional earlier this season, and Hayes returned the
favor last week in the 1,500 at Mt. SAC.
Also entered in the 5,000 will be Lisa Martin, who
will run the event for the first time. This will be Mar
tin’s only shot to qualify for the NCAA 5,000. She has
already qualified in the 3,000 and 10,000.
“It’ll be good for us to compete against a team like
this," says Heinonen. "The coaches will worry about
the team score, the athletes just need to go out and
compete as hard as they can."
