Of Hm l m«rald
The Oregon women'i cross country team a finished
a perplexing sixth at the Wisconsin Classic cross coun
try meet in Madison. Wis. Saturday.
The meet featured six of the top ten teams in the na
tion. and the sixth-ranked Ducks finished right there,
although the circumstances were not exactly as Oregon
coach Tom Helnonen had envisioned it.
"The biggest surprise of the meet for us was that
we beat two teams ranked ahead of us (Stanford Univer
sity and Brigham Young University)," Hoinonen said.
"But we lost to two teams that were ranked behind us
(lows State University and Northwestern University)."
iieinonon stated before the meet that it would be a
preview of the upcoming NCAA championships, but
afterwards he wasn’t sure how much insight had been

gained.
"I guess that throws the whole thing into a scram
ble at the NCAA championships,” Heinonen said.
The Ducks were led by freshman sensation Cathy
Schiro who finished 18th in 17:51.5. Schiro was with
the lead group for the first mile, but then dropped back.
Penny Graves finished second for the Ducks and
22nd overall in 17:58.8 and Heinonen couldn't have
been more pleased with his sophomore,
“Graves ran her first cross country meet against
major competition and she handled it beautifully,”
Heinonen said. “She was our best performer of the
day.”
Graves wasn’t the only runner on the Oregon squad
to catch Meinonen's attention Saturday.
"Deanna Schiedler and leanie Higinbotham ran
particularly well also," Heinonen said. "They were in
there where we needed them.”
Schiedler made the most dramatic move of the day
for the Ducks as she stood 79th after one mile and im
proved to finish 40th in 18:22.9.
Birgit Petersen was Oregon’s third finisher in
18:13.0 which was good enough for 35th overall.
Senior Kim Roth finished 48th in 18:31.3.
ThG next action for the women harrier’s will be this
Saturday at Lane Community College for the Oregon
Open.
Heinonen will have the services of senior Brenda
Bushnell for the first time this season. Bushnell has
been out all year with a stress fracture that dates back to
last track season.
Heinonen will use the meet to select his team for
the upcoming NorPac Conference championships that
will be held in Pullman. Wash, on Nov. 2.
