Racing for a national title Women runners chase NCAA crown By Todd Fletcher 0< the Emerald Oregon women's cross country shoots for a na tional title today when it battles 15 other teams at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Bethlehem, Pa. However, Oregon will not be the favorite to win today's meet, although it has been the team to beat in all its other races. "Seven teams can finish in the top three, and all of them have a chance to win," says Oregon coach Tom Heinonen. Emerald Photo Kathy Hayes (left) and Lisa Martin are Oregon's individual title hopes at today's NCAA Cross Country Championships. Heinonen isn't ready to concede the meet yet. "I think we're right up there," he says. "We handled some people pretty easily last weekend (at District 8 championships). We could easily finish in the top five if things go right." Oregon's coach picks Stanford University as the meet favorite if top runner Ceci Hopp can compete. She was unable to finish the District 8 race because of a bad hip, but finished third at last year's NCAA meet. "If Hopp runs, Stanford is the team to beat, but if she can't, it will be wide open," s^ys Heinonen. For Oregon to win, Heinonen admits, "seven (Oregon) runners are going to have to run really well and six other teams have to fail." Oregon's Kathy Hayes, a valid contender for an individual title, says her team doesn't know much about its opponents. "We know what we can do, we just don't know what everybody else can do," Hayes says. Tennessee, North Carolina State, Clemson, Wisconsin and Iowa State can do a lot, according to Heinonen. He labels those five the teams to watch. In the duel for the individual crown, Hayes faces North Carolina State's Betty )o Springs, the 1981 NCAA winner, Wisconsin's Cathy Branta and Missouri's Sabrina Dornhoefer of Missouri. Springs and Dornhoefer have not lost a race this season. Oregon's Lisa Martin, too, has an outside shot at winning today's race. "If it's a good day and I feel good I'll run with the lead," says Martin. "I would be very happy to finish in the top five and disappointed if I'm out of the top 10." In addition to Hayes and Martin, Oregon sends Kim Roth, Kim Ryan, Claudette Groenendaal, Gret chen Nelson and Birgit Petersen to the meet at Lehigh University. Roth, who has been Oregon's third runner behind Hayes and Martin all season, finished 41st at nationals as a freshman in 1982, Groenendaal was 101st a year ago. Ryan makes her first trip to nationals at«er finishing eighth at the District 8 meet. Heinonen ,s he's confident in his prize freshman. "Ryan is running better and better every week," he says. "Right now she is sky high." Nelson and Petersen get their first taste of na tional competition today as well, so there is some pressure on the Ducks. Martin, however, has a way to ease that pressure. "It would really be nice to bring a title back," she says. Look familiar? John Greig (right) flies through the air in an attempt to block Ray Blume's layup, but this wasn't Oregon Oregon State Pac-10 basket ball. The two recent graduates were playing in the first Civil War alumni basketball game Friday night at McArthur Court. The game matched ex-Ducks and Beavers from the 1950's to 1982 in a fundraiser for the athletic departments at both schools. With 2,000 in attendance. guys like Bruce Colaren, jonn Murray and Robbie Closs duk ed it out against Rob Holbrook, Danny Evans and Bill McShane — just like in the old days. Unfortunately, the score was just like a lot of the old days. The Beavers widened their lead from 16-11 to 33-17 to 41-19 to 57-29, and finally, it was the old men from Cor vallis taking it to the Eugene alums, 109-72. Photo by Dave Kao et al.
