Racing for a national title
Women runners chase NCAA crown

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.

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.
