After leading the Oregon
women'* track team to its seventh
consecutive Pepsi Team Invita
tional title by winning the 100
and 200-meter sprints, [.aKeina
Woods dealt with the disap
pointment of not qualifying for
the NCAA meet by California
dreomin'.
"Give us some warm weather
for the Pac-lOs (in Berkeley)."
Woods said. "Washington State
and Oregon ore the only teams
that don't get a chance to run in
the warm weather. It's easy to get
frustrated; I know I'm frustrated
because if 1 was running in warm
weather with the same kind of
competition hero, I really believe
we’d run top times, also.
"When we go and compete
down there, we're going to bo
running as fast as anyone in the
conference. I'm real exciter! about
my wins, but for me to feel like
I'm accomplishing something, it
would lie nice to know where I'm
at nationally," she said.
While Woods narrowly missed
the NCAA provisional qualifying
time with her time of 11.79, she
could take solace in the fact that
she had led the 400 relay team to
an upset of Arizona State and its
fastest time of the year.
"The important thing was for
us to drop our time down,"
Woods said. "There's a lot ol
room for improvement, and hope
fully with some warm weather
we ll continue to improve."
Oregon jumped out to a quick
lead over Arizona State, Wash
ington State and Kansas State
with points in the first event of
the day. the javelin, by Ashley
Selman and Kelsey Steilick. After
eight events, the Ducks led Ari
zona State 80-58 and were never
seriously challenger) for the team
title.
Arizona State rallied by sweep
ing the 800 and the 400 hurdles
late in the meet, but in the end
Oregon won comfortably. 186

Oregon's Nicole Woodward won Saturday's 3,000-meter race at the
Pepsi Team Invitational at Hayward Field with a 9:28 time
with 131 points and Kansas State
finished with 107 points
Woods wasn’t the only double
winner of the day. Julie Beck won
the discus and ihtr shot put. Her
discus throw of lfiH-4 was 20 feet
ahead of the second-place throw
by Kansas State's Shanele Stires
"The throwers hud to come
through today." Bed said "Espe
cially with Arizona State here
with all of their good runners, the
throwers had to get it together to
get some points.”
The anticipated 3.000-meter
dual between Oregon's Nicole
Wood ward and Washington
State's Jennifer Brevard never
developed Bravard. the nation
al leader in the I.(>()(). moved up
in distant e to the 5,000 meters
and won in 10:26. and Wood
ward remained in the 3.000
meters and won in ‘1 2H.
I was disappointed she didn't
run l»« ause I was ps|t hod to run
with her. and then I ended up
being alone," Woodward said
"I've been going out too fast ami
dying, so I'm pleased I w-as able
to run at the pat e I wanted to."
