1 tellinger who will be en
tering his 10th season as Or
egon men's trai k coa< h next

more pleased with what he
saw from Fieri e
"I think the outstanding
athlete in this meet on the
men's side has got to be I,a
von Fieri e " he said “I'm
happy to see him performing
the wav lie is He's just an
outstanding athlete ''
All totaled. Fierce had a
hand in tl> of Benson's 52
meet points to lead the Port

title since to tti No award is
given lor the meet's out
standing athlete but if it
were, Pierce would have
won easily
But what really had Del

about having Pierce on his
team for the next four years
Pierce had several reasons

number of other schools, in
eluding Pac i fie - 10 rival

deorge Walcott, and for the
past three years. I've been
interested in the t'O pro

miliar with the atmosphere
of the track so 1 thought that
would be the kind of setting
that I would perform best in
"I love the crowd here,"
Pierce said "They're very
loud and very supportive."
Pierce said being close to
home made Kugene an espe
cially appealing place to
continue his track career.
"It's close to home so if I
bad am kind of homesit k
ness. I < ould just drive right
up the road 1 12 miles and be
home if 1 wanted to." he
said.
