Ducks nab NorPac title
By Steve Turcotte
Of the Emerald
Shrugging off a possible scare
from the University of
Washington, the Oregon
women's track and field team
took home gold at the second
NorPac Conference track and
field championships Friday and
Saturday in Fresno, Califorina.
The Ducks totaled 148 points
to outdistance runner-up
Washington, which posted a 114
score. California managed third
with 97, Washington State
wound up fourth with 82,
Fresno State was fifth with 75
and Oregon State took sixth
with 61.
Ironically, in last season's Nor
Pac Championships at Hayward
Field, Oregon, Washington and
California finished 1-2-3.
But instead of the cool con
fines of Hayward Field, the
teams had to contend with
Fresno's 90-degree heat this
weekend. Temperatures ranged
from the 80s Friday to the
mid-90s Saturday.
"We thought that yesterday
(Friday) was hot, but this one
was a scorcher," said Oregon
women's coach Tom Heinonen,
voted NorPac Conference coach
of the year for the second
straight year.
The heat, however, didn't pre
vent the Ducks from turning in
some fine efforts.
Freshman Janell Thorsland
contined her rapid improve
ment. She zipped to a personal
best 13.90 to upset the field and
win the 100-meter hurdles,
established a PR 19-10% in the
long jump and added a lifetime
best 1:02.32 for second in the
400 hurdles.
"I'm a little surprised and ex
cited," Thorsland said. "The
weather helped a lot. I compete
better when it's hot. In the 400
hurdles, I felt good and went for
the PR. I guess I was just loose
enough and ready."
Besides Thorsland's hurdles
win, Oregon was first in three
other events and racked up a lot
of points with its depth.
In the 800, Claudette
Groenendaal had to overcome
Cal's Louise Romo in the
homestretch to win in 2:02.99,
just off her best. Oregon's Ran
za Clark was third in 2:04.16 and
Brenda Bushnell, still in search
of an NCAA qualifying time, was
fifth in 2:10.28.
Romo grabbed the early lead
in the race and sustained it until
the final 60 meters before
Groenendaal made a move. The
Duck junior shifted gears and
passed Romo near the tape.
"When I got up behind Louise
it was now or never time," said
Groenendaal. "It was a good
race for me. I stuck to it when I
wasn't feeling too good. I feel
pretty drained."
Another winner for Oregon
was Lisa Nicholson in the 400
hurdles, but she may not have
been overjoyed by her victory.
She finished in 1:01.57 and has
yet to satisfay the 59.40 NCAA
standard.
Oregon's other winner, Kathy
Hayes, finished first in Friday's

10,000 in 33:41.9. Teammate Eryn
Forbes was second in 34:04.6.
For Hayes and Forbes, it was a
satisfying 1-2. But for
1,500-meter entrant Kim Roth, it
was near disaster.
After leading the entire race,
Roth was battling Cal's Marilyn
Davis down the stretch. The two
were neck and neck before Roth
stumbled, lost her balance and
fell to the track. Davis ran off
the winner in 4:24.07, while Roth
picked herself up and finished
second in 4:47.82.
"Davis came up on her
shoulder and as she began to
pass, Kim tried to go with her
and tied up, lost her balance
and fell," Heinonen said. "She
still feels a little short of
training."
Elsewhere, Birgit Petersen
turned in a pair of fine perfor
mance in finishing second in Fri
day's 3,000 and managing a
fourth-place in the 1,500 in
4:29.99. Freshman Deanna
Schiedler also ran that double,
grabbing fourth in the 3,000 and
fifth in the 1,500.
In the sprints, Oregon got
some big points, as freshman
Cam Talton ran a personal best
of 24.16 to finish second in the
200. In the 400, Tracy Raade was
third in 56.07 and freshman
Stephanie Morris clocked a per
sonal best 56.86 to wind up
fourth.
Even with the championship,
the Ducks only qualified two
more people for the NCAA meet
— Hayes and Forbes in the
10,000.
"Our goal was to win the meet
and get some more national
qualifiers," said Heinonen.
"Eryn and Kathy were all we got.
But those are important ones
because Eryn can score in the
10K and Kathy could score really
big points if we choose to run
her there."
Oregon gets a last chance to
bolster its NCAA-qualifying list
Thursday at the Oregon State
Twilight Meet in Corvallis..
There, Nicholson will try to
meet the national standard in
the 400 hurdles, and Thorsland
will give 20 feet her best shot in
the long jump.
