Ducks win opener
Men’s track team crushes Fresno State
By Allan Lazo

Luckily, the only surprises on
a damp Saturday afternoon at
Hayward Field were pleasant
ones for the Oregon men's track
and field team as they opened
their dual meet season with a
108t6-54 V* win over the Fresno
State University Bulldogs.
Although, in the end. the
Ducks clearly outdistanced
Fresno State, many had ex
pected the meet to be much
closer, perhaps only a three or
four point difference in either
direction. But Oregon managed
some early surprises in the field
events, which set the tone for
the rest of the day.
“The one-two Finish in the
long jump was not really ex
pected. and the one-two in the
triple lump, we didn’t really ex
pert. Most of the events went
that way where we came
through and scored more points
than we expected to.“ said a
“satisfied" Oregon coach Bill
Dellinger.
“Well. 1 guess 1 am surprised
that it was that lopsided.” Dell
inger said. “We thought it was
going to be a close meet, and it
turned out to be not so close."
Helping lead a field crew that
gave the Ducks 59Vi out of a
possible 72 points in eight
events, senior Jeff Hultberg
turned in a stellar performance.
Hultberg captured two first
places and two thirds in all four
of the throwing events.
The Sheldon High School
graduate set a personal best en
route to capturing a victory in
the shot put (58-1 ¥«) while also
winnning the discus with a
throw of 175-2. He also got his
best season marks in third place
efforts in the hammer (172-2)
and the javelin (210-11).
Hultberg joined the Ducks
with only one year of eligibility
remaining after a stint at Linn
Benton Community College.
The transfer was Linn Benton’s
most valuable competitor in the
field events after two seasons
and after Saturday’s perfor
mance his help would be a big
plus for the Ducks as the season
progresses.
Oregon’s Ken Flax took first
in the hammer throw with a toss
of 226-3, beating out Fresno
State’s Machan Littleton at
206-5. The Ducks’ Brian
Grouser (286-0) and Bob George
(215-6) led a Duck sweep in the
javelin.
Grouser, making his season
debut after bypassing last
week’s Oregon Invitational,
said he had a “sporadic” per
formance. The senior from
Gresham hit the 286-0 mark, his
third best throw, ever, bn his
opening toss and then failed to '
come close to it again.
"I felt pretty good, although
maybe a little shaky. It's just
that I haven’t done any throw
ing since last August, so it’s
shaky, but it’s coming around.”
said Grouser who felt that he

was “missing the fine-tune tim
ing, but it’ii come with time.”
“I'm way ahead from what I
expected. I don’t really know
what to expect anymore because
staying healthy is the big thing,
and if I can do that, then the rest
will come. At this point. I’m
ahead as far as health; usually.
I’m hurt by this time.”
Oregon also showed promise
in the jumping events as juniors
Uchenna Agu and Jerry Luttrell
each captured a first and a se
cond, swapping places in the
long and triple jumps.
Agu won the long jump with
a personal best 23-8 V«, while
Luttrell captured a season-best
