Crew: Bound for nationals
By John Healy
Of the Emerald
Grueling months of 5 a.m. workouts will pay
off for eight women on the Oregon crew team this
weekend when they race for the lightweight-8 title
at the National Collegiate Rowing Championships
in Seattle, Wash.
That same lightweight-8 crew won the Pacific
10 Conference title earlier this month, and accor
ding to women's coach Tim Meier, they have
been invited to try out for the national women's
lightweight shell.
"We're looking for revenge on San Diego
State and Western Washington," says Meier. Both
teams beat Oregon at the Western Intercollegiate
Rowing Championships, which were held in con
junction with the conference meet.
"We're kind of unknown," Meier says. "But
we've been working out since last fall 4'A hours a
day, (rowing) every morning from 5 until 8, and lif
ting weights and running stairs."
Mek r isn't sure exactly who will be at the na
tional championships, but says Harvard, Boston
College and some of the Midwestern powers may
be there. But he doubts anyone is faster than the
two teams Oregon was beaten by at the Western
intercollegiate meet.
Six ot the eight women who rowed Oregon's
lightweight eight at the Pac-10 race will be in Seat
tle, along with two additions. Members of the
team will include coxswain Kristi Kniffen, stroke
Gayle Johnson, and crew members Marge Kughn,
Annie Donahue, Teresa Hukari, Shellie Downs,
Celine Carvalho, Korola Hanks and Laura Noble.
"This whole year has been a great year for
both the men and women," Meier says, pointing
to the Pacific Northwest Regional Championships
as evidence. At that meet, Oregon took two firsts
in the women's fours, three seconds in the eights,
and three thirds.
"We got two firsts three years ago, but those
were our only medals in history (until now)," he
says.
Raising enough money to even field a crew
team has been a continual struggle at Oregon, ac
cording to Meier. He says crew receives the
largest budget of any club sports team — but it's a
paltry $7,000. The Ducks raise additional money
by cleaning Autzen Stadium after all home foot

ball games.
But Oregon has a hard time competing
against national powers like the University of
Washington, which boasts a boathouse filled with
over 50 shells and a dormitory for crew members
above the boathouse.
"Their men's heavyweight team is bigger than
the offensive line on the football team," marvels
Meier.
The meet will begin Saturday on Seattle's
Green Lake.

hours.”
The Oregon duo will bump
heads with defending NCAA 800
champ )oetta Clark of Ten
nessee in Saturday's final. Even
though her PR of ?:01.15 is the
best in the field, Joetta still feels
the final will be close.
"This is my fourth one of
these and this field is by far the
most competitive I've run
against,” said Tennessee's
Clark, who ran the day's top
time with a 2:03.52.
Is Clark beatable? Heinonen
thinks it's possible.
"She's the clear favorite, but
she has to double too (800 and
mile relay)," Heinonen said.
For Forbes, the 5,000 is some
hope to close out her Oregon
track career on a positive note.
After finishing a non-scoring
13th in the 10,000, Forbes
figured she needed a better per
formance to leave Hayward
Field with. Her qualifying time
was 12th best in a field of 16
runners.
"I knew what kind of time I
had to get so I just cruised in,"
Forbes said. "I was kind of tired
from the 10,000 and I didn't
want to run any faster than I had
to."
Garnett clocked a 14.13 in the
first heat of the 100 hurdles to
finish fifth — far off her best of
13.88.
The team race is shaping up as
most believed it would. Florida

all qualified a number of in

day's finals. The Seminoles are
loaded in the sprints with the
capability of going 1-2 in the 100

crown a number of individual
champions, and Stanford is hop
ing to use its distance strength
to win the title.
