WESSELL
Continued from Page 8
sell ,md Wilson have claimed (he lop two
spots tins season. Neither Wessell or
Wilson have been defeated by an opposing
runner this year
Wilson claimed top honors in the Minne
sola CHS and Emerald City lnvitationals, in
addition to last weekend’s Hat IPs. with
Wessell coming in second each time
At the Jeff Drenth Memorial in Eugene,
the two switched spots with Wessell as the
top collegiate finisher with Wilson second
"Em relatively pleased with niv perfor
mance this year." Wessell said "1 think
that I'm performing consistently this year
Cist year and the year before I couldn't be
sure of how well I was going to run
lleinonen credits Wessell's improvement
this year to her maturity as a runner
"Stephanie has really matured over the
last year as both a runner and a leader."
lleinonen said "Last year, she was unex
pectedly thrust into a leadership role when
Liz got hurt and that placed a lot of pres
sure on her."
That fact was never more evident than in
last year's N’t AAs The N'CAAs were a dis
appointing finish to a disappointing year
for the Ducks
Wessell was the Ducks' only representa
live in the nationals last year as Oregon
failed to qualify for the N'CAAs for the first
time in Heinonen's fifteen years at Oregon
"last year was hard because we didn't
make it to nationals." Wessell said "It
was herd on Tom not to go Individually. I
think that I really choked at nationals last
year anil that was a really trad note to end
the year on."
Heinonen believes that Wessell'* perfor
mani e at nationals last year had something
to do with the fact that she was there as an
individual
“It absolutely played a role in her perfor
mance," Heinonen said "It was the first
time ever that we ended up with a single
individual at the N’CAAs I've seen the
same thing happen to other individual run
ners year after year. "
Wessell says th.it although she missed
having her teammates at the meet last year,
it isn't an excuse for her poor performance
there
"I went back there with Tom and the
men's team," Wessali said. "but I didn't
have the rest of my team to warm up <uul
yet over the pre r.lt e butterflies w ith
"I thought I was in yre.it shape he.uhny
Into the rate." she suui. "lint tluriny the
race I hail a hard time yetting into it I pist
didn't run as well as I knew I could have
and it was really frustrating
Wessell hopes to join the long list of Ore
yon all-Americans In being one of the lust
25 finishers at this year's meet
"I wanted to lie an all-Anierii.au last
year." Wessell said, "but I really think that
I will accomplish that this year."
It was that long list of Duck all Amen
cans that helped Wessell deride' on Ore
K»»
"There's always boon a certain mystique
about Oregon's women’s runners. Wes
sell said "When I think of running. I think
of Oregon I used to come to the Oregon
truck camp when I was in high si lion! and
I really got a taste of what it's like to run in
Kugene."
On Nov to, the Ducks will lie out to
prove to the country that last year was a
fluke, and Wessell will lie looking to put
the numlier 58 to rest
