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.

each other after attempting the
first pass, but the Ducks were
lucky enough to have the baton
stay in the passing zone. 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.

"We were either fortunate or
lucky, or a combination of both,
not much went to form."
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

points, 61 V»-56V», going Into

Morris could win the steeple,
and ho entered Korir the 1.500
against Myers,
Myers was aware of this and
said before the race, “1 think
they're planning on having
Korir win the 1.500, He’s going
to have to hurt to do it. 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

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

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."
