Sophomore Dub Myers will shoot for an NCAA-qualifying time in the 1,500 meters at the Pepsi
Relays Saturday at Hayward Field.
A sure bet? Try Myers
By John Healy
Of the Emerald
If you've got an extra $5 bill laying around, put
it on Dub Myers in the invitational 1,500 meter
rate at the Oregon Pepsi Relays Friday.
The Oregon sophomore needs a qualifying
mark of at least 3:43.45 in the 1,500 Friday if he
wants to run in the NCAA championships, which
begin May 30 in Eugene.
That is half a second better than his best time
this spring. On the surface, then, it would appear
that Myers has a tough race in front of him Friday.
But dig back into Myers' performance last
year, and you see why he is confident about Fri
day's race. Myers finished fifth in the NCAA 1,500
final last spring, in the process clocking a lifetime
best of 3:41.92.
"The main thing I need to do is to get a quali
fying time," says Myers of the 1,500 Friday. "The
only way I wouldn't qualify is if the race were tac
tical. But if the pace dawdles, I'll be going out to
the front. And if I win the race, I figure I will get a
qualifying time."
This spring has been a much more difficult
season for Myers than last year, when he won five
dual meet races, finished first in the Oregon
Twilight Mile in 3:57.06, took third in the Pac-10
championships and then surprised many with his
fifth at the NCAAs.
Most of the problems this year have stemmed
from a knee injury that kept him from training
seriously for five weeks in january and February.
"I lost a lot of my base training when I was in
jured,” says Myers. "My right kneecap was in
flamed, and I couldn’t train hard or consistently."
In his first 1,500 race this year against UCLA,
Myers couldn't stay with teammate Jim Hill and
the Bruins' Ron Roberts when they made a break.
Myers struggled to the finish in 3:46.70.
