Jesse Burkhardt Of the Emerald 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 Sports Briefs The Oregon football team is being featured in Sports II iustrated's Oct. 8 issue.

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.
