Emerald Sports Reporter
The Oregon men's and women's cross country teams
sped past the Pacific-10 competition Saturday at Stan
ford on the way to dual conference championships.
The Oregon men barely nudged Arizona for their
third consecutive i’ac-10 title, and the women, favor
ites in the meet, held off Washington to win their
fourth conference title in five years
The men's team finished with i't points, followed
closely by Arizona's tl points and Washington's 53
points.
i’he women's team won their title by avoiding an
ipset-minded Washington. The Huskies finished with
."ill points, while Arizona was third with til points
Seniors I.iz Wilson fib''-: and Stephanie Wessell
S6:f>5) finished first and second, respectively for the
in ks on the 5.000-meter course Sophomore Nicole
Woodward moved from 17th place to eighth in the last
alf-mile, to secure the victors tor the Dm > s
Woodward's move was especially’ important th*
■ ause. in the process, she passed three Washington
inner* that could have supplied the Huskies with an
pset victorv
"(Woodward) really saved us from an embarrassing
defeat.” Oregon women’s Coach Tom Heinonen said.
“The last three people she passed were all from Wash
ington
"I was really surprised with Washington's perfor
mance." he said. "That's a team wo have eaten alive
In the past, but they put their top seven runners in the
top 20 "
The top three runners from last year's Pac-10 meet -
Sabrina Han of California. Jennifer Robertson of Wash
ington State and Bridget Smyth of Arizona - took an
early lead, and Wilson and Wessell tucked in behind
them for the first mile
Then Stanford's Melanie HI<m h made a big move to
the front at the one-mile mark and held it until the two
Oregon runners stepped up and took the lead at the
three-mile mark
"We looked really good tip front but the others
weren’t vers focused, Heinonen said “We have run
i onsnrvatively all year and it has worked well, but this
time sse ran too conservativelv. They uist wen! out
nigh seventh
Heinonen pulled Nusrala near the one-mile mark be
cause she had not been feeling well, and the pace for
that group of runners lagged as a result, he said.
Julia Saul (17:54) finished in the 21st spot, while
l.isa Karnopp (18:05) closed out the Oregon scoring at
24th
The key to the men's victory. Coach Bill Dellinger
said, was the depth of the team. Five Oregon runners
finished in the top 15, with two in the top 10.
Oregon junior Colin Dalton (23:47) finished three
seconds behind Arizona's Man: Davis to finish in sec
ond place.
Junior Pat Haller was the second Duck to cross the
finish line in sixth place with a time of 24:40. and
Andy Maris (11th). Shannon Lemora (12th) and
Colden Baxter (15th) closed out as Oregon's top finish
ers.
Davis held the lead lor the first three miles, when
Dalton edged into first On the last half-mile. Davis
caught Dalton on a downhill stretch to claim his sec
ond straight conference title
"Everybody competed well." Dellinger said 1 \ri

it off Now it - .i three-wa\ battle for the regional
