Ducks do well, but Bruins do better

The Hayward Field mystique
reared its bright head Thrusday
through the clouds and rain to
allow two Oregon men to
squeak into Saturday's finals.
Meanwhile, the second day of
competition of the 1988 Na
tional Collegiate Athletic
Association Track and Field
Championship did no damage
to UCLA’s mission to be the first
team to repeat as men’s cham
pions since Texas-El Paso did so
from 1979-82.
Three more Oregon athletes
qualified for the finals on
Thursday, bringing the total to
seven Ducks who will run today
or Saturday.
Eric Peterson finished
seventh and last in the second
heat of the 1,500-meter qualify
ing race with a 3:46.50, but
finished 12th overall and was
rewarded with the final spot for
the final race Saturday.
"1 just wanted to give myself
a chance to run with the best
runners in the nation this
weokend," Peterson said.
“Everyone in this race has run
as fast or faster than my lifetime
best, so I can’t take anything for
granted.”
Joe Falcon of Arkansas had
the day's best time in the 1,500,
finishing in 3:35.61. The pace
of both heats was slow, allow
ing everyone in the race to be
competitive up through the
final 100-meter kick.
"As far as the finals, 1 want to
be competitive and win.
Everyone in the race is good.
Hopefully, I will have a
homestretch duel with one or
two other people, so 1 can get
used to having someone on my
shoulder. If the pace is slow,
everyone will be involved,"
Falcon said.
Eric Finch was the other Duck
to get into the finals in the 12th
and last spot, with his throw of
200-9 in the hammer. Finch’s
third throw outdistanced a
198-3 toss by Steve Dering of
Syracuse. Although relieved to
be in the finals, Finch was
anything but pleased with his
performance.
“1 just screwed up, I just
didn’t do what I was supposed
to do and what I've been train
ing to do everyday for the past
two weeks," Finch said. "I had
the goal of being number one in
America, but now I had to drop

that down a bit to make it to the
last set of three throws — 1 want
to put myself in a scoring
position.”
Scott McGee, however, did
not survive the trials, closing
out his sophomore year with a
throw of 192 in the hammer.
"1 was coming down from a
peak. 1 had a personal record at
the (Pacific-10 Conference)
meet two weeks ago and it’s
kind of hard to peak again,”
McGee said.
