ishing third last year behind Washington and
Washington Stale
The thicks are considered the heavy favorite for
the meet, which is to be run over a 5.000-meter
course on the University Golf Course, hut Coach
Tom Meinourn isn't worried alxiut the pressure.
"We’re going to win, as 1 see it. unless we're
nowhere as good as we think we are," Heinonen
said
"We feel that the Par 10 is rightfully ours and
we re determined that it's supposed to stay
ours." he said "This is the first step in our
championship meet series, and I feel that we re
ready.”
Seniors Liz Wilson and Stephanie Wessell en
ter the race as pre-meet favorites to claim individ
ual honors Neither Wessell. who finished eighth
in last year's meet, nor Wilson, the I'tHti Pat-10
i hampion. have lost to an opposing i ollegian this
season
The two have taken turns finishing first and
sei ond in the Ducks' three meets this vear
Wilson won the Kinerald City Invitational m Seat
tle and the CHS Nike Invitational in Minneapolis.
Minn . with Wessell a (lose second each time
Wessell captured first at the |eff Drouth Memorial
ill Kugene two weeks ago
Wilson, who missed the entire 1*18!) season due
to a leg injury, has surprised Heinonen with
strong performani es so early in the season
"I've been pleasantly surprised with Liz
Wilson's ability to come on so quickly."
Heinonen said
Hounding out the Due ks' entries will lie red
shirt freshman |ulia Saul, sophomores Carol Dol
men and Nicole Woodward and juniors Lisa
karnopp and Lucy Nusrala
Wessell stressed the importance of this week
end's meet for Iroth the team and Heinonen
“The Pac-10 meet is for bragging rights in the
conference.” Wessell said, "and it's important to
win for Tom because he feels that it belongs to
us. The meet has taken on an extra measure of
importance this year."
While the women's team is heading into this
weekend's meet at full strength, the same cannot
lie said about the men's team.
Men's coach Hill Dellinger feels confident
aljout his team's chances this weekend but is
quick to add that his team is not at full strength
due to Kick Mestler's sore arch. Mestler. the
Ducks' No 4 runner, has missed five days of
workouts anil is questionable for Saturday's
H,(M)0-meter race.
"We're still a pretty good team." Dellinger
said, "but our chances would be better with
Kick."
"It's going to Ik- a real interesting Pac-10 meet,
but 1 think it will come down to Arizona. Wash
ington and Oregon." he said.
The sixth-ranked Ducks have surprised many
oaches across the country, but not Dellinger. De
spite losing six out of seven members from last
.ear's NCAA runner-up team. Dellinger didn't
ixpei t to spend an entire year rebuilding.
"I'm not surprised at all with our performance
so far," Dellinger said "We've got some good
runners and some good depth."
Dellinger said that juniors Colin Dalton and Pat
Haller, the onlv Ducks with Pac-10 Champion
ship experience, .ire expected to play key roles il
Oregon is to come out on tup
"If Dalton and Haller are competitive with
Marc Davis and Hrian C.osso (Arizona's top two
runners) and the rest of our team can < lose the
gap behind our top runners to less than a minute,
we i:ou111 have a chain e to win." Dellinger said
Dalton, who hails from Sydney. Australia, has
enjoyed a great deal of success since returning to
Oregon from a year of international running lie
has finished second in each of the Ducks' last two
meets and placed 12th in the Pac-10 meet as a
freshman in loiiH
The Dm ks' remaining five entries demonstrate
the youth of this team junior Shannon launora

the team while freshman Andy Maris and sopho
mores Colden Baxter. Tye Van Schoiack and
Mestler round out the pack. freshman Coles Can
