Oregon getting top billing
in top-heavy NorPac race
By Steve Turcotte
Of the Emerald
This season in the NorPac Conference,
the rith women's track and field teams
got richer — but so did the poor.
And that will be quite evident Friday
and Saturday as conference champion
ships unfold at Warmerdam Field at
Fresno State University.
Oregon, last season’s conference
champion, made a shambles ot the team
scoring by racking up 215 points to easily
outsdistance runner-up Washington,
which tallied 105.
This time, things promise to be dif
ferent. While the Ducks are once again
favored to win the team title, the margin
of error is not 100 points anymore.
"Every team is better than last year,"
states Duck coach Tom Heinonen. "We
are also a little better but the team race
should be a lot closer than it was last
year."
The University of Washington, which
fell to Oregon in a dual meet 70-56 in
April, is much improved and figures to
be the closest pursuer. The Huskies hope
to utilize their wealth of sprinting, hurdl
ing and jumping power to collar a Nor
Pac championship.
"Washington is clearly the
challenger," Fleinonen says. "But a real
challenge from them depends on how
much they ask of their sprinters, jumpers
and hurdlers."
California is also vastly improved and
could be in the hunt. Oregon State,
Washington State and Fresno State are
better, but do not figure to be much of a
threat to the top teams.
The Huskies possess four of the top
five 100 meter sprinters in the con
ference led by Donna Dennis at 11.35.
Dennis is equally as powerful in the 200,
but Washington has little from the 400 on
up. Washington's Shirley Walker is the
top 100-meter hurdler in the conference
but will be pushed by Oregon's Kay
Garnett.
In the jumps, Washington has four of
the top five long jumpers in the con
ference, led by Meledy Smith at 21-0.
Oregon's Janell Thorsland, 19-8 'A, will be
the Ducks' hope to break up
Washington. The Huskies also have one
of the conference's leading shot putters
in lennifer Ponath.
But Oregon can c o unteract
Washington's domination in the sprints
with its stable of talent in the distance
races.
“We have a definite advantage in this
meet that we didn't have in Seattle in the
dual meet,” Heinonen says. "There are
two more distance rac es and we c an dou
ble some people if we want."
The Ducks have a slew of runners
entered in the 800, 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000
meters, and Kathy Hayes will take a shot
at running the 10,000. Oregon figures to
score heavily in the 800 with Claudette
Groenendaal and Ranza Clark, who
possess the fastest times in the con
ference. Heinonen also will load up in all
the other distance races trying to pick up
points.
"But we might not run anybody in the
5,000 if the meet is in hand and the
temperature is 90 degrees,” says
Heinonen.
The weather in Fresno is murder on a
distance runner. In recent days, the
temperature has been in the 85-90 degree
range. Thus Heinonen's reluctance to
load up the distance events like he might
want to.
The Ducks are still attempting to
qualify a number of individuals for the
NCAA meet May 28 through )une 2 at
Hayward Field. Oregon has qualified
seven individuals already, but Heinonen
would like to see a handful more qualify
at the NorPac meet.
Lisa Nicholson, in the 400 hurdles,
leads the conference with a 1:00.16 clock
ing and is less than a second from mak
ing the national meet. Grace Bakari, in
the 800, has run a 2:10 and is about a se
cond away from qualifying. Middle
distance runner Brenda Bushnell could
either qualify in the 800 or 1,500 — she is
close in both.
In the long jump, Thorsland is eight in
ches from reaching nationals while Shan
non Gates needs to improve by a foot
and a half in the javelin to qualify.
Heinonen would also like to see a mile
relay team in the NCAA meet.
Ducks decide to wait until
NCAAs to tackle Cougars
By John Healy
Ot 11 iv hiwild
Although the Oregon men's truck team
will physically bo in Pullman, Wash., to
day and Saturday lot the1 Pacific-10 C on
ly rem e championships, the Ducks
minds will be toe used hundreds of miles
south in I ugene.
I hat's because Oregon will bo hosting
the NC AA meet in the confines of the
Ducks' own Hayward Held next
weekend, and it’s there that Oregon has
its best chance ot derailing ttic* nation's
top track power, Washington state.
"We're using the Pac 10 meet lot pro
gression toward the NCAA meet, getting
them there (to the NCAA) til and without
in|ury and that's not always easy," ex
plains Oregon coach Bill Dellinger.
"It's not that we're writing oft the
Pac 10. but we want our guys to be able
to come bac k 10 days later and compete’
belter."
While Washington State has been pit k
ed to score as many as 140 points this
weekend at the Pac 10 meet, the Duc ks
will be- luc ky to break tile’ 100-point har
der although they should brush in the
runner-up spot.
Dellinger will take a 24-man squad to
Pullman that is comprised exc lusivedy of
distance runners (14), hurdlers (three)
and field performers (eight). Although
the Ducks' hurdlers and held event
athletes will stick to their specialties,
Dellinger will shuttle his distance line-up
extensively.
"Only a couple ot guys will be running
the same event at the Pac -10 that (hey
will at the NC AA meet/' says Dellinger.
Oregon's Joaquim Cru/, tabbed to win
the NCAA 800 and I,*>00 meter races by
Trac k and Field News, will only run the
800. jim Hill, pic ked to win the NCAA
5,000, will be entered in just the 1,500.
Oregon's other distance aces — Matt
McGuirk and Dub Myers — will run the
1,500 and 800, respectively. McGuirk is
expected to score in the NCAA
steeplechase and Myers is picked to
finish third in the NCAA 1,500 by Track
and Field News.
However, Dellinger will stick freshman
Harold kuphaldt in his specialty, the
steeplechase, in hopes that he will go
under the NCAA qualifying mark ot
8:4c 10. His best this vear is 8:40.80.
the Ducks should also rack up wins in
the* javelin, where Brian Crouser’s best
this year ot 278-5 is almost 10 teet further
than the newt best thrower; and in the
pole vault, when* korv lurpenning has
gone I7-9‘l», almost five inches better
than runner-up Steve lullv ot Arizona
State.
I wo other Oregon performers - Ken
I las in the hammer and Don Ward in the’
intermediate hurdles — have the- see one!
best marks in the* conference and could
win their events it they have a good day.
But even it Oregon wins all ot those
events, it may not matter much against
the loaded Cougars. WSU athletes lead
the’ conference in live events, and with
Dellinger moving his distance runners
around, the Cougars will have even an
easier time of it today and Saturday.
WSU leaders int lude C.abriel liucoh in
the 400 (45.74), lulius korir in the
Steepler base (8:24.7), Peter koec li in the
COOO (I i: ft).SO), Joseph I aiwo in the triple
jump (54-11) and Brent Harken in the
high jump (7-8).
Oregon's main competition for second
will come* from the’ two Arizona schools,
plus UCIA and California. I he Ducks
beat Cal 8i-80 and UC IA 88-77 in dual
meets earlier this year, but didn't face
either the Wildcats or the Sun Devils.
Arizona went undefeated in dual meets
this year against a tairly weak sc hedule,
although they did knock off perennial
powerhouse UCLA. I he Wildcats have
conference leaders in four events, in
cluding Rod Barksdale in the 200 (20.85),
lorn Ansberry in the 10,000 (28:14,8), and
the 400 and 1,800 meter relay teams.
Arizona State's potential winners in
clude Ken Robinson in the 100 (I0.28) and
the 200 (20.88), and Ken Lrazier in the
long jump (26-8’/2). Cal will rely on |im
Scanella in the intermediate hurdles
(50.09), John Morris in the high jump
(7-5), and its 1,800 meter relay team.
