Oregon women overcome Cougars, run streak to 19 By Robert Collies Of** KmontM On a day that ran the im aginable spectrum of different kinds of weather, as well as other bizarre happenings, the Oregon women’s track team “dodged a bullet.’* according to their coach Tom Heinonen. In the process, the team ran their dual-meet winning streak to 19 with a 70Vi-65Vi victory over the up and coming Washington State University Cougars Satur day at Hayward Field. The Ducks have nevei lost to the Cougars in the eight meetings between the two schools, but it seems every year the margin narrows, and Satur day things were about as close as they could have been. The skies went from hail, to rain, to sunshine within minutes. In fact, if it wasn't for a 400-meter relay that stretched the imagination and went in the Ducks favor, the meet would have had a different outcome.

WSU was not as fortunate. Oregon runner Julie CJoodrich was alert enough to pick up the baton and speed away with the victory, the five points that went with it. and eventually the meet. Heinonen wasn't exactly sure what happened, but he was sure that his team won. Now Buying Clothes CoM lot S44 TOSI \i>m< to SO E. 11th Bttwttn mm * High Opan 10:00-6:00 Mon. - Sat.

Heinonen said about his team's close escape. "Every year WSU seems to get stronger, and that relay was the difference in the meet," Cora Aguilar and Yvette Brown continued to be world beaters as they both garnered personal records in the shot put, placing 1-2 in the process. Then they came back to clinch the. Oregon team victory with a 1-3 . finish in the discus, the last event to be completed. Brown’s new shot put PR is an improvement of over, a foot, .to 48-9. and Aguilar broke the 50-foot barrier for the first time with a heave of 51:-lVa.' (anell Thorsland was a one person wrecking crew as she won the long jump in 19-11V«, and the 100 hurdles in 14.2. and she placed third in the. 409 hurdles. "Things felt really good to day." Thorsland said between her busy schedule. "To run” these times in this weather is realty encouraging." Injury-plagued Kim Roth returned to the Hayward Field victory circle for the first time in two years and enjoyed every minute of it . "It if great just to be able to run, much less win." Roth said. "Hayward Field is the best place to run in the world in my opinion." The Ducks needed every bit of the performances they got. and vyere actually behind by five points, 61 V»-56V», going Into the final two events — the discus and triple jump.

Of course. I'm going to have to hurt too. but that doesn't matter.” Korir did hurt as he stmint'd a hip flexor during the race. Myers. Korir and Oregon's Knut Hegvold were bunched at the bell lap until Myers ripped a 55.9 last lap to win in 3:44.53. ■ Korir Iwrely held off Hegvold; 3:48.28 to 3:48.72 . and WSlJ got only three points instead of the expected five.' Myers was pleased with the race. "The first couple laps were nice and relaxed.” he said. "When I took it over, the pace dropped quite a bit. Korir came up on my shoulder a couple times. It felt like he surged a couple times, but I negated him.’;' "' Oregon continued to chip away gt WSIJ in events that had •not I wen counted on. Scott .Seidel and Todd Post wont 2-3' in the high jump. J.T. Doupnik placed third in the javelin, and :Greg Aitkenhead threw the discus a personal best U>4-5 for third. -* But the biggest upsets,came in events in which Oregon is typically weak — the sprints. WSIJ was favored to finish 1-3 in the 100 meters, and 1-2 in the 200 meters. Instead. Oregon went 1-3 in the 1(M) as Damns, who has been nursing a sore hamstring for the last two weeks ami had only been able to train during the .. three days prior to the meet, ran 10.75 todefeat Tiacoh. who ran 10.76. Uribe, in his first open race of the season, placed third in 10.60. • The 600 meters was an event Oregon head coach Bill Dell inger felt the Ducks had ter win in order to have a shot at winn ing the meet. * Mvers won in 1:40.4 in a race . that saw all six competitors run 1.51.7 or^better After Uribe placed second in the 200, WSU needed to finish at least 1-2 in the 5.000 to bring t he meet dow n to the mlie relay. With Korir injured. WSU had no one else*-to seriously challenge Oregon's Harold K u p h a I d t and Mark McMonigal. Chaplin decided against risking Korir's health and conceded the meet. Kuphaldt and McMonigal ..went 1-2. running 14:tW and 14:11. and Oregon had its first dual-meet victory over WSU since 1080. Dellinger was happy with the way things went. ' ‘ W e h a v e n ’ t beat Washington State since 1060. so obviously it's a big win for us." he said. "We still have a season to go. but this is getting us off to a gOod start. The fact that we have a couple three people sit ting out tells me we can be an even better team."
