Wisconsin, this is our only
c hance to gel a direct measure*
ment with the rest of the nation.
We don't want to reB !y on an

"She seems filler than over and
tan definitely lie an all-American
this season, and possibly belter
than that."
Woodward has not done it
alone for the Ducks this season,
as they have received major con
tributions from all nine runners.
At the Simon Fraser invitational,
the Ducks had six runners finish
among the first nine collegiate
runners, and at the Sundodger

this weekend are juniors Monica
Davidson and |oni Wareham. and
freshmen Niamh Zwagerman and
Ann Patton.
"Nicole, (ill. )enna, Erika and
Heidi will almost surely go to the
conference championships with
us." Heinonen said "1 will look
at all three meets to decide who
else will go, hut we may take dif
ferent combinations to each post
season meet."
This weekend meet will he the
Ducks' final tuneup before the
postseason begins on Oct. ill with

lanl stepping stone to the Pac-10
meet,” Heinonen said "We need
to break even with our top three
scorers and let the others battle
it out for the win."
The Oregon men will also be
looking to add to a winning streak
this weekend as they come off a
win in the Willamette Invita
tional two weeks ago. The men
beat Central Oregon by eight
points at the meet, with the next
best team til points behind
"We have had two weeks to
prepare, so I hope we will be
even lietter than we were in Mon
tana," Oregon head coach Bill
Dellinger said.
Oregon won the meet despite
running without freshmen Karl
Keska and Tracy Hollister, the
Ducks' two top finishers in the
season’s first meet. Keska fin
ished eighth at the Mountain
West Classic in Montana three
weeks ago. seven spots ahead of
Hollister, while the team finished
second behind only second
ranked Arizona in the team com
petition.
"I wanted to give Karl and Tra
cy a different workout," Dellinger
said. "They didn't really need to
run and some of the other guys
needed the work. Rick Mestler
will lie running this weekend, but
whether or not he runs at Pac-lOs
depends on how well he runs."
Oregon got strong perfor
