Kim Roth says third
is just not enough
By Todd Fletcher
Of the Emerald
When one thinks of past Oregon women's
cross country teams, names like Jody Parker,
Molly Morton, Eryn Forbes and Leann War
ren come to mind.
This year Kathy Hayes, Lisa Martin and a
promising group of freshmen have grabbed
most of the headlines.
But sandwiched between the big names
and the blue-chip freshmen is sophomore
Kim Roth, who is quietly going about the
business of becoming one of Oregon's most
consistent and dependable performers.
Roth has been Oregon's third finisher in all
meets this year. Running behind only Hayes
and Martin, she finished fourth overall in
Sunday's Oregon Track Club Invitational.
However, finishing third for Oregon is not
enough; Roth wants to finish higher.
"It's a goal to work for, and provides for a
challenge to be better," says the graduate of
Salem's Sprague High School.
But breaking into one of the top two spots
is tougher than it seems. Hayes is a former
collegiate record-holder in the 5,000 meters
and holds the 3,000 meter collegiate record.
Meanwhile, Martin finished fourth in the
NCAA 5,000 and ninth in the 10,000 last
spring.
Becoming her team's top runner wasn't
always so difficult for Roth. In high school,
she won a 1981 cross country title, a 1982
1,500-meter title, and became the state's first
three-time AAA 3,000 meters champion.
Ironically, Roth defeated Hayes for the 3,000
crown in 1979 and 1980.
Although Roth had impressive statistics
coming out of high school, only Linfield and
Oregon expressed an interest in her.
t "She didn't run national class times as a
junior, and wasn't chased by tons of schools
as a senior because her times didn't stack up
with other top runners," says Oregon coach
Tom Heinonen.
Upon arriving at Oregon, Roth has remain
ed somewhat obscure. But that should
change soon. Her aggressive and competitive
style, combined with a strong kick, have
always impressed her high school coach,
Tom Adams.
"I brought her along slowly because I don't
believe in pushing runners too fast," says
Adams. "And I didn't alter her running style
too much because I didn't want to ruin a
good thing."
Heinonen wants to avoid ruining a good
thing as well. For that reason, he allows Roth
to work out pretty much on her own.
While Heinonen allows Roth something of
a free hand, he maintains she still has some
are. that need work.
"her strength in the middle third of a race
is a weak point for her. Like all young
athletes, she gets tired and knows the race
isn't even over yet.
"But," says Heinonen, "she always finishes
fast, she has the best foot speed of anybody
on the team, and she loves to compete."
Unfortunately, Roth has not had much of a
chance to compete so far this year. The
Oregon coach thinks that has hindered her
progress.
"She has been running all by herself in
races this year. She is good by herself, but
she is even better when she has someone to
push or pull her through a race, " says
Heinonen.
Roth ran into competiton Sunday in the
OTC Invitational. She was pushed by Cathy
Twomey of Athletics West and University of
Idaho's Sherri Crang. As a result, she ran a
season best 16:44.
To maintain her hold on Oregon's third
spot and challenge for No. 1, the biology/pre
med major follows a fairly demanding

will change.
schedule.
In between studying for organic chemistry,
biology and calculus, Roth runs on her own
three or four mornings a week. The rest of
the week is spent running hard intervals of
800 meters.
"In high school we did what the coach
said. Here you decide how hard you work,
and Tom will help you through your
workout," says Roth, who has enjoyed the
change in coaching philosophy.
Once her race is underway, Roth says most
of what goes on is mental.
"You concentrate on who is ahead of you
and try to keep a beat to your pace," she
says."It's very easy to psych yourself out.
You can keep thinking how far away the
finish line is or think about an upcoming hill
too much."
Running seems to take up a lot of Roth's
time and energy, but she doesn't complain.
"If running on a team becomes a burden,
then it hurts you and it hurts the team. It has
to be fun," says Roth.
Kim Roth has had a lot of fun the past six
years.
Packers get last laugh, 48-47
From AhochM Frrss reports
Lynn Dickey threw for three
touchdowns and tossed a 56-yard
pass to Gerry Ellis to set up Jan
Stenerud's 20-yard field goal with 54
seconds to play Monday night, giv
ing the Green Bay Packers a 48-47
victory over Washington in the
highest-scoring game of the Na
tional Football League season.
The lead changed five times in the
final 15 minutes, and Washington's
Mark Moseley, who had kicked four
field goals in the game, missed to
the right a 39-yarder with three
seconds to go.
Dickey completed 22 of 30 passes
for 387 yards in the game, which
surpassed the Packers' 41-38 over
time victory against Houston on
opening day for the most points
scored this year.
Joe Theismann completed 27 of
39 passes for 3% yards in one of the
great shootouts in recent years.
With the victory. Green Bay raised
its record to 4-3, one game behind
first-place Minnesota in the Na
tional Conference's Central Divi
sion.
Duck tackle lauded
Oregon defensive tackle Dan
Ralph, who had 10 unassisted
tackles, one sack and four pass
deflections in the Ducks' 19-10
win over Arizona Saturday, was
named Pac-10 Conference
defensive player of the week
Monday.
Ralph, a 6-4, 268-pound senior
from Northgenn, Colo., leads
Oregon with 44 tackles in six
games.
Ralph started five games for
Oregon a year ago after transfer
ring to Eugene from the Univer
sity of Colorado. He had 43
tackles and two fumble
recoveries in 1982.
