Duck and Cougar coaches to win
Pac-10 meet this weekend
By Dave Charbonneau
Emerald Sports Reports
Lveryonn's passing the baton to UCLA.
Contrary to popular belief, IXiLA is tho favorite
to win tho Pacific-10 Conference track and fiold
loom championship at Hayward Fiold on Friday
and Saturday.
On paper. It would seem that Washington State
should bo tho favorite at the moot that starts at
3:00 p.m on Friday and 2:00 Saturday, but head
cooch )ohn Chaplin doesn't seem to think so.
"I don't think we can win the team title." he
said "UCLA is the overwhelming fuvorito."
Oregon coach Bill Dolllngor ugreed with Chap
lin
"UCLA is the favorite." ho said. "Then it's be
tween us and Washington State, with Arizona not
for behind."
When UCLA coach Bob Larsen was told his
loam was considered by some to be too mo pre
rnuot favorite, he laughed,
"Whnt do you expect them to soy?." he said.
"Anyone who says UCLA will be the champion is
trying to sut the scene for a chance to be under
dogs Washington State Is the favorite."
Whoever the coaches think the favorite will be,
it is safe to say the Pac-10 title is a three-team
race: Ducks. Cougars and Bruins ... not necessari
ly In that order.
Washington Stale looks like the odds-on favor
ite to repeat us Pac-10 champions. Its strength lies
In the distance events with Samuel Kibiri — the
lop l’ac-10 qualifier in the 1,500-meter race and
the steeplechase — and Joe Kapkory — the top
qualifier in 5.000 and 10,000
The Cougars should also score well in the 110
and 400 hurdles with Mark Macdonald huving
lite second-best time in oach. In addition, thuy
have a lop five qualifier in 10 of the 20 events.
The only thing Washington Slate has going
against it is the fact docathlete Rodney
Zuydurwyk — who finished second last year in
the event — was unable to compete in lust week
end's decathlon because of an injury.
Oregon, on the other hand, goes into the meet
with u 10-point lead thanks to a first- and third
place finish in the decathlon by Pedro daSilva
and Muhammad Oliver, respectively.
"We've already had our biggest event with the
decathlon." Dellinger said. "Now wo need scor
ing from ovuryonc we have entered."
The Ducks huve favorites with Art Skipper in
the javelin and Shannon Lemora in the 800, but
after that, they need their other athletes to have
great meets.
Tye Van Schoiack (steeplechase and 1,500).
Rick Mesller (steeplechase), Pat Haller (5,000),
Bob Gray (110 and 400 hurdles) and Ronnie Har
ris (400) all have chances of finishing at or near
the top of their respective events, and if ihoy do,
Oregon could give the Cougars a scare.
Even though Dcllingor and Chaplin will say dif
ferent, IJCLA is the dark horse of the meet.

The Bruins will gain points in the sprints and
field events, but they will lose valuable points to
Oregon and Washington State in the distance
races.
“We have a balanced team, but we don't have
as many standout athletes," Larsen said. "We
don't have our usual strength in the distance
races. However. I um optimistic we will be there
in the end to mako it interesting."
Tony Miller owns tho top time in the 200 and
the second-best time in the 100, and Marty Beck
is the top 400 hurdler in the l’ac-10. The Bruins'
relay teams are also tough, owning the second
best time in ouch event.
Arizona will rely heavily on last year's Fac-10
5,000 and steeplechase champion Marc Davis to
score points Last year’s 100 and 200 champion,
Michael Bates, left Arizona for the NFL, leaving
the team with little hope in the sprints.
Wo re real weak In the sprinls, Davis said
'i'll ju&l got all the points for my t(«im that I can."
The Wildcats could also score points In the
10,000 with Jaime Galindo and Jimmy Rodriquez,
but don't expect Arizona to be in the hunt for the
championship.
"We won't be in the hunt for the team title,”
head coach Dave Murray said. “It will be us, Cal
and Washington vying for the fourth spot."
Washington's biggest event will be the 800,
where it has three of the top four runners in the
conference Milch Leffler, Dwight Wheaton and
Andy Clark will all challenge Lemora for first.
The Huskies' Rob Scott is the favorite in the long
jump, and Adam Setliff has a chance at winning
the discus, but beyond that, Washington will not
likely score big In any other events.
