Hyatt hopes to make her mark
By Jake Berg
Emerald Sports Editor
The women's javelin field for
the Pacific-10 Conference Track
and Field Championships
looked so barren that the league
lowered its standard to allow
more competitors.
But don't tell that to Oregon's
Kim Hyatt, who is foot and
inches above the rosl of the on
tries in the ovont — the first
women's competition — begin
ning at 3:30 p.m. today at Hay
ward Field. Tho men's portion
starts this afternoon at 3 with
tho hummer throw.
Tho senior's season best
throw of 173-06 is a distant first
to USC's Allison Franke's
160-00, second in tho Pac-10.
Only three other athletes met
tho Pac-10 qualifying standard
in the javelin.
Hyatt said she realizes tho
competition doesn’t look like
much, but she sure knows one
thing.
"I've still got to show up,"
she said.
Oregon throws coach Sally
Hurmon said that ns long as Hy
atl concentrate* on her tech
nique ami has no distractions,
iho three-time All-American
should have little trouble in
earning her first Pac-10 title.
"The only person that Kim
really has to wutry about is
Kim Hyatt," Harmon said.
Ironically, Hyatt’s toughest
opponent should have been
Ashley Selmnn. who placed
third in a l!SC uniform last sea
son ut Poc-IOs behind Paula
Berry and Hyatt, respectively.
But Selman will not lie compet
ing if she's at Hayward this
weekend.
"The crazy thing is that Ash
ley Selman is transferring here
next year, and she was the big
gest nemesis," Harmon said of
her latest pupil, who was the
1990 NCAA champion
Hyatt has had time to learn
from other NCAA champs ut
Oregon )ill Smith was the top
collegian in 1989 and Berry
took first ut the NCAAs last
year
"It's kind of great because
I've had Paula to model after."
Hyatt said
One thing that very few ath
letos are modeling after flnrrv
on is an NCAA automatic quali
fying throw. Hyatt's best this
year is still five inches short of
tho NCAA automatic, and not
many competitors havo thrown
better than that this season.
"I'm looking forward to her
gelling an automatic," Harmon
said "Kight now we're looking
for consistency."
Throwing a personal record
this weekend wouldn't be loo
bad, either, said Hyatt, whose
PR came last veor when she fin
ished second at the conference
meet.
"I'd like to throw a PR. but
I'd be satisfied just scoring
points for the team," Hyatt
said "I'm anxious "
The future of the Oregon
women's Javelin program has
more than Selmun in store Or
egon used two of its wild card
entries to get Kelsey Stollick
and Ken h’sterbrook into the
Poc-ll) moot.
Harmon said she'll lie look
ing for her two freshmen jave
lin throwers to get experience
with the top com|x>tition in the
Puc-10
