The Oregon women's track-and-field team
met the Oregon State University Beavers in the
annual Civil War match-up on Saturday — and by
looking at the final outcome, the meet was
anything but civil.
The Ducks rolled to their ninth straight win
over the Beavers by a 101-35 score, although,
Oregon was without seven of its top performers.
The Ducks have won every meeting between the
two schools since the series began in 1977.
Oregon coach Tom Heinonen sent four of his
top athletes to Modesto, Calif., to compete in the
Modesto Relays as a tuneup for the upcoming
NCAA Championships in Austin. Texas.
Against OSU, Oregon was without Quenna
Beasley, Cora Aguilar, Leann Warren and
Claudette Groenendaal who were at the Modesto
meet. Also the Ducks were missing Brenda
Bushnell. Sally Harmon, and Kathy Hayes, who
shattered the collegiate record in the
5,000-meters last weekend at the Oregon Pepsi
Relays.
The Ducks had little trouble with OSU as
some of the team's less prominent stars took up
the slack.
"The (OSU) meet was a chance for some ot
our other athletes to compete,” Heinonen said.
Oregon won 13 of the 16 events against OSU.
and four Ducks set lifetime bests in the process.
Sophomore Stephanie Morris ran 55.91 to
win the 400-meters. Julie Goodrich won the triple
jump with a mark of 37-0 V4. Julie Hilsenteger ran
25.10 for second place in the 200-meters, and
Grace Golden also had a lifetime best with a
123-11 mark in the discus, which was good
enough for third place.
In Modesto. Oregon also showed its strength
as Beasley broke her own school record in the
discus with a throw of 180-9. Warren and
Groenendaal competed in the 800-meters and
both came up with season-best marks.
Groenendaal finished second with a time of
2:02.52, while Warren finished fourth in 2:03.3.
Warren and Greonendaal’s times are the top two
collegiately this season. Aguilar continued to
chase the NCAA qualifying-mark of 168-6 in the
discus as she threw 167-7.
