This guy's made a prophet of his coach
File Photo
Matt McGuirk's 8:36.63 clocking at the
Pepsi Relays put him in seventh place on
the Oregon all-time steeplechase list.

Of the Emerald
When Oregon track and field coach Bill
Dellinger talks, sophomore steeplechaser
Matt McCuirk listens.
That's because every time Dellinger
predicts a time for McGuirk, the former
South Eugene prep star goes out and runs
that time.
In the process, McGuirk has slipped
under the Olympic Trials qualifying time
and moved into third on the Pac-10's
steeplechase list this year.
"This year, I've mainly been running for
a time in the big meets," says McGuirk.
"When I got my PR VA months ago in our
first meet. Bill had told me that week to
run for an NCAA qualifying time."
So McGuirk ran 8:44.39, Just under the
NCAA qualifying mark of 8:45.10. Then,
before the Oregon Pepsi Relays meet last
weekend, Dellinger told McGuirk to give
the Olympic Trials qualifying mark of
8:40.80 a scare. McGuirk proceeded to
finish fifth in a loaded field, but in the pro
cess clocked an 8:36.63 and moved into
seventh on the all-time Oregon
steeplechase list.
"I was more prepared for the Pepsi
meet," says McGuirk. "I was sure I would
run what Bill said I could this time. I listen
ed to my splits on every lap, and with three
laps to go I knew I had the Olympic Trials
qualifying time."
McGuirk met up with the steeplechase
last year almost by accident. After four
consecutive weeks of running the 5,000 in
dual meets, McGuirk wasn't penciled in
for a meet against Southern Illinois.
"Bill had been trying everyone in the
steeplechase except me," McGuirk recalls.
"I asked to run in the steeplechase, but he
said no, then he changed his mind."
McGuirk went out and won in 8:52.14,
but could manage no better than 11th in
the Pac-10 meet in the steeplechase a few
weeks later.
Things looked rather bleak last fall when
McGuirk struggled through Oregon's
cross country season. His fall was marred
by two twisted ankles before the season
started.
But once he got over the ankle pro
blems, McGuirk's workouts went well
enough that he met the NCAA
steeplechase qualifying time in the
Oregon Invitational March 17, and then
won tactical races agasint UCLA and
California in the steeplechase.
"I thought the 5,000 would be my best
race when I came to Oregon," McGuirk
says. "I was pretty good in the 1,500, but
better in the 3,000, so I thought the 5,000
would be my event."
McGuirk labels himself a "long-distance
runner," pointing out that he doesn't have
the speed to compete in the 1,500 against
the likes of Oreogn's Joaquim Cruz, the
NCAA favorite at the metric mile.
Races on uneven surfaces also seem to
suit McGuirk, probably because they han
dicap runners with great speed who sit
and kick at the end of a race. McGuirk
won the state prep cross country title his
senior year over an uneven course.
"But I'm also a year older, and I've
matured a lot physically," he says. "Also,
Bill says he doesn't expect anything from
us in our first year here, because he says it
is an adjustment year.
"I think he's right, because this year I'm
running the same workouts as last year,
but they are easier this year," McGuirk
says.
He plans on concentrating on the
steeplechase for the rest of this year, and
probably for the remainder of his col
legiate career. But McGuirk says Dellinger
thinks good things could be in store for
him in the 5,000 as well.
"Bill told me I could run 13:40 in the
5,000 based on the shape I'm in now," he
says. "He also says I'll go under 8:30 this
year in the steeplechase, and he's been
right the two times he has made a
prediction."
By the time this year ends, Dellinger and
McGuirk will probably be three for three.
Ducks sign state
400-meter champ
Oregon's women's track team has
signed Sharon Ottetstedt, the 1983
Oregon Class AAA high school
400-meter champion, to a letter of
intent.
Ottetstedt is a senior at Wilson
High School in Portland. She is also
the owner of the state's best time in
the 400. She has run a 55.8 in her
specialty.
Ottestedt's signing gives the
Ducks another young talent in the
400. Coach Tom Heinonen already
has freshmen Stephanie Morris and
Cam Talton and junior Tracy Raade
in that event.
Oilers edge Islanders, 1-0
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Fourth-string center
Kevin McClelland scored early in the third period
and goaltender Grant Fuhr collected his first playoff
shutout Thursday night as the Edmonton Oilers got
the jump on the New York Islanders with a 1-0 vic
tory in the opening game of the Stanley Cup finals.
The Oilers' triumph was their first against the four
time National Hockey League champions in 2'A
years, a span of 11 games. It also snapped New
York's nine-game winning streak in the final round.
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series will be here
Saturday night.
Edmonton's victory was built around a suprisingly
staunch defense and the sensational goaltending of
Fuhr, who outperformed his more celebrated
counterpart in the Islanders' net, Billy Smith. Fuhr —
who did not play against the Islanders in New York's
sweep of last year's finals — orchestrated the victory
with cat-like quickness in handing the champions'
their third shutout loss of the 1984 playoffs.
The third-year goalie made 34 saves.
McClelland, obtained during the season from the
Pittsburgh Penguins, was an unlikely offensive hero.
The Islanders held Edmonton's most potent scorers
— Wayne Gretzky, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri and Glenn
Anderson — in check, but fell victim to McClelland's
opportunism.
Pat Hughes dug the puck out of the left corner and
fed McClelland 10 feet to the right of Smith. Mc
Clelland's wrist shot eluded Smith to his far side at
1:55.
The Islanders' best chance to solve Fuhr came mid
way through the third period when Bossy stormed
down the slot.
Bucks gore Nets 98-97;
advance to Eastern final
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)
— Marques Johnson scored 11
of his 25 points in the fourth
quarter and Paul Pressey sank a
crucial free throw and an 18-foot
jumper in the final 1:22 of play
as the Milwaukee Bucks
defeated the New Jersey Nets
98-97 Thursday night to clinch
the best-of-seven National
Baskeball Association semifinal
series 4-2.
Junior Bridgeman added 20
points, Bob Lanier 17 and
Sidney Moncrief had 15 of his 16
points in the second half as the
Bucks advanced to the Eastern
Conference finals against the
winner of the Boston-New York
series, which the Celtics lead
3-2.
The Bucks, who trailed at
halftime for the first time in the
series, opened the third quarter
with an 18-6 surge to take a 61-52
lead. The Nets trimmed the
deficit to 65-63 on Birdsong's
two foul shots with 2:28 left in
the period, but the Bucks
widened their lead to 73-67
heading into the fourth quarter.
