Ranked No. 1 nationally
Harriers tune up in Salem
By D.C. Jesse Burkhardt

The Oregon women’s cross
country team, ranked number
one in the latest NCAA poll,
begins their quest for another
national championship this
Saturday in the 10th annual
Willamette Invitational in
Salem.
The meet begins at 11:45 a.m,
in Bush Park as the Ducks par
ticipate in their first scoring
meet of the season.
The Willamette Invitational
matches a number of small
college teams from throughout
the Northwest. Individual
results of this race should deter
mine which women will make
the trip to compete in the
Wisconsin-Burger King Classic
in Madison, Wis,, on Oct. 13.
The Ducks are favored to win
the invitational because of a
strong returning lineup that re
mains basically unchanged
since last year's championship
team.
“We’re deeper than last
year,’’ says Oregon coach Tom
Heinonen who received NCAA
Coach of the Year plaudits in
1983. “We are deeper than any
other team in the country.”
The Ducks’ depth is good
reason for the No. 1 ranking
“We’ve got eleven runners
capable of being in the top
seven,’’ says Heinonen on the
competition to go to the
NCAAs. “Any one of them
could make the seven-person
team we send to the nationals.”
The team’s strength comes in
two parts, according to
Heinonen. There is power up
front with All-American Kathy
Hayes leading the way.
Heinonen termed Hayes as the
Ducks’ “big-gun runner.”
Hayes, a senior, is the team's
top returning finisher from last
year. Hayes finished third in
last year’s NCAA meet, and the
Newberg native started this
season on the right foot by win
ning the Garrie Franklin Classic
on Sept. 22.
“My primary goal for 1984 is

The Oregon football team is
being featured in Sports II
iustrated's Oct. 8 issue. The
Ducks are ranked 19th in Si’s
latest college football poll.
The Oregon golf team finish
ed in fifth place in the Wolf
Pack Classic at the Edgewood
Tahoe Country Club in
Stateline, Nev. The Ducks shot
a 630 team total, 13 strokes
behind the winner of the tour
nament, the University of the
Pacifc.
George Daves was low man
for the Ducks with a 155 total
for 36 holes which tied him for
fifth on the par-72 course.
The Oregon volleyball team
remained at No. 13 in the latest
NCAA poll. The Ducks are also
rated 16th in both the Tachikara
coaches’ poll and Volleyball
Monthly rankings.

Harbour was named the NorPac
Conference athlete of the month

voted on three all-tournament
teams in September. She also

recognition in the Brigham
Young Preview.
to see the team win the cham
pionship again,” says Hayes
who set a course-record in the
Franklin meet. “We’ll have to
do at least as well or better than
last year to achieve that.”
The Franklin meet has been
the only race the Ducks have
participated in this season. The
meet was non-counting, but
Oregon would have won easily
had official score been kept.
The performance alleviated
some of the pressure the top
ranking has had on the team.
“We’re ranked number one,”
says Hayes. “But that doesn’t
mean much, especially this ear
ly in the season.”
Heinonen feels the Ducks are
capable of winning it all again
in 1984.
“We want to win again,” says
Heinonen. “We are the defen
ding national champion and it
would be unrealistic to set any
goal except to try to defend our
title.”
Trying to catch Hayes will be
Oregon’s Gretchen Nelson and
Kim Ryan who had impressive
races in the Franklin meet.
Oregon State transfer, Sandi
Nevis and Brenda Bushnell are
also expected to challenge for
one of the seven spots available.
After this weekend’s meet,
the harriers prepare for a
meeting with some of the best
cross country teams in the coun
try in the Wisconsin-Burger
King Classic. Wisconsin, rank
ed right behind the Ducks in the
polls, will be there along with
most of the top teams in the
nation.
