Kind, Maxwell propel Oregon
Freshmen gymnasts boost program to new heights
By Adam Worcester
Of the Emerald
When considering the Oregon women’s gym
nastics team. “North to the Future" is more than
just an Alaskan motto; the phrase also describes
the Ducks’ last recruiting season.
Duck coach Ed Boyd, hampered by a limited
budget, cast his hopes northward and landed a
pair of prizes: 5-foot-2 Cyndee Maxwell from Ken
ton. Wash., and 5-foot-6 Gretchen Kind from Fair
banks, Alaska.
Maxwell and Kind, along with sophomore
Denise Garcia, form the nucleus of a young but
talented Duck team that Boyd says is the “future
of Oregon gymnastics.’’
If that’s the case, then the future looks bright
indeed. Although the Ducks finished with only a
2-7 record this season, which ends March 16 with
the NorPac Championships in Corvallis. Maxwell
and Kind have emerged as Oregon's best and
most consistent performers.
Maxwell has placed within the top three
meet competitors 22 times this season, including
six first-place finishes in the vault, her best event.
Kind won. placed or showed 15 times and boasts
four first-place finishes in her specialty, the
uneven parallel bars.
“Gretchen and Cyndee both have their
strengths and weaknesses,” Boyd says. “They
complement each other.”
Or. as Maxwell says, “We’re complete
opposites.” ...
While that may be true in the gym, away from
the sport, the two share many similarities. Both
got an early start in-gymnastics, tumbling on their
front lawns as kids. Both were high school stars.
Both are undeclared majors considering careers
in sports medicine. And both turned down fullr
scholarship offers from other schools to come to
Eugene.
Maxwell, who captained her: 1982 Lindberg
High School gymnastics squad in Renton, refused
a full-ride from the University of Montana
because “it was too far away and the school
wasn’t as good. It was cold. 1 came here mostly
for the school.”
Kind had a similar experience.
“I was going to go to Boise State or here,”
she says. “The gymnastics at both places were
good, but I ended up here because Boise State
didn’t have as good a program.”
Due to budget restraints, Oregon cannot af
ford to offer full scholarships to out-of-state
recruits. Both Kind and Maxwell are on partial
scholarships that they expect will offer a little
more money next year.
Kind, a three-time Most Valuable Gymnast at
West Valley High School in Fairbanks, was ac
tually recruited as a walk-on to the Oregon pro
gram because injuries forced her to miss most ot
her senior year. Boyd, although he knew of her.
never saw her compete in high school. She in
tended to send him videotapes of her ability.
However, just as she was regaining full strength.
Kind broke her hand and was unable to show her
talents.
Boyd first saw Maxwell compete for the
Pacific-Cascade Gymnastics Club in a United
States Gymnastics Federation regional meet.
Boyd says he was impressed by her “big tricks."
“Ed saw me and just started talking to me.
and 1 ended up here.” says Maxwell, who spent a
year between high school and college competing
and coaching before enrolling at Oregon.
Once here, both Kind and Maxwell have had
to adjust from club gymnastics to college
competition.
"College is more team-oriented" than club
competition. Kind says of her days with the Gym
nastics. Inc. Club during high school.
This season was especially hard, though,
says Maxwell, because due to Oregon’s lack of
depth "everyone had to compete in every event,
no matter what. We couldn't specialize in one
thing. It kind of wore everybody out.”
The next adjustment for the two was getting
used to Boyd’s coaching methods.
"We had to adjust to a different kind of
coach.” Kind Says. "When you’re so used to one
.you learn what he wants, and often it’s hard to ad
just to a different style."
At first, learning Boyd’s system was rocky for
both gymnasts..
"We went through some hard times because
we didn’t know him, and he didn't know us.”
Maxwell says of Boyd. "Everybody has their dif- *
ferent personalities. It’s like we all need a dif
ferent type of coach. Ed had to coach us all the
same way pretty much because he didn’t know,
us.” ■. '
Now. though,- Kind sayS the adjustments
have been made, and the team is on the right .'
track.
"If we keep building.,I think we can make it
to regionals next year,” Maxwell says. "If we hit
our routines in meets like we do ih practice, we’d
be scoring a lot higher. We just need the con
fidence and experience. Experience, mostly,
because we came in here not knowing what, to
expect."
Part of that learning will take place Saturday
in Corvallis when the Ducks compete in the Nor
Pac Conference Championships at 7 p.m. Host
Oregon State University is one of the favorites in
the meet, and the Ducks, because of their youth
(seven freshmen), don’t figure to be in the runn
ing for the team title.
