Runners reach heart of season
By Dave Chartoonneau
Oregon L>&*y ttnereid
The Oregon men's and women’s cross country
teams will get into the heart of the schedule this
weekend os the women head north for the Sun
dodger Invitational in Seattle, and the men com
pete in the Willamette Invitational in Salem
The women got off to a strong start at last week
end's Mountain West Classic, finishing third. It
was actually the Ducks' second meet of the season,
but was the first time the women ran with their top
squad.
Oregon managed to place three runners in the
top eight and was solid from top to bottom. The
most impressive aspect of last week's race was
freshman Milena Glusac finishing second among
collegians. Veterans Jenna Carlson and Niarnh
Zwagerman also put in notable performances, fin
ishing fifth and eighth, respectively.
"We raced really well." women's head coach
Tom Heinonen said. "What we accomplished after
two weeks of training together was encouraging.
Milena got off to a fabulous start, led in the second
kilometer and ran well all the way to the finish."
Even with his new recruit having an incredible
debut in an Oregon uniform. Heinonen seemed
more impressed with Carlson and Zwagerman’s
performances.
"Jenna and Niarnh ran better than they ever have
in cross country," he said.
Melody Fairchild took second in the first meet
of the season, but slipped to 30th last Saturday.
"The race was a little frustrating for Melody."
Heinonen said. "But she’ll make progress with
each meet."
The Ducks are currently ranked eighth in the
nation and will have a good chance to move up
with a strong performance Saturday.
Top-ranked Arkansas will he the favorite at the
meet Cornell, Missouri. Utah, and Pacific-to Con
ference foe Washington State are some of the larg
er s< hools participating in the meet
On the men's side, it might seem at first that last
week's sixth-place performance was disappoint
ing. but not so. said head coach Bill Dellinger.
"Actually. I thought we ran pretty well in Mon
tana." he said. "Everybody ran better than they did
last year over that same course."
Still, the finish caused the Ducks to drop from
eighth to 15th in the national poll
Dellinger said not much more could have been
expected from bis team, which was having only its
first meet of the season.
“We were not ready for that kind of competition
this early," Dellinger said. "We ran against schools
that had already had two or three previous races."
Keska will not run Saturday, nor will Scott
Nicholas or Kic k Cantwell, who were the second
and third Oregon finishers last weekend.
Instead. Dellinger will use the meet as an oppor
tunity to look at his younger talent, including
freshman Goss Lindsey and redshirt freshman
Dietrich Wieland
The rest of the Duck roster for Saturday includes
John Dimoff. iason Humble, Gordon Johnson, Tim
Mahon and ('.had Schacht.
Both the men and the women will he off next
week before hosting the Jeff Drenth Memorial at
Alton Baker Park Oct lft
Ducks fall to Arizona,
drop to 0-4 in Pac-10
By Scott Simonson
Oregon Daily tmerald
Arizona volleyball bend coach
David Rubio hoped Thursday
night wouldn't be the night for
the Ducks.
It wasn’t.
Oregon remained winless in
conference play as the Wildcats
beat the Ducks handily, winning
15-8, 15-7, 15-3.
The Ducks dropped to 0-4 in
the Pacific-10 Conference and 3
9 on the season. The loss was
the fifth straight for the Ducks,
although four of the defeats dur
ing the losing streak have come
at the hands of nationally
ranked opponents.
Before the match, Rubio
sounded wary of the Ducks.
“Even though Oregon is 0-3 in
the conference, they can't l*> tak
en lightly," he said.
"They are a good team It's
just a matter of when they'll get
on a roll. 1 hope it's not against
us."
Rubio apparently had no trou
ble keeping the Wildcats from
overlooking the Ducks. Arizona,
ranked 20th nationally, tallied a
blazing .467 hitting percentage
in winning the first game. Ore
gon hit .209 in the first game.
Arizona's hitting cooled off a
little in the next two games, hut
Oregon's hitting all but disap
peared . The Ducks hit .070 in
the second game and .000 in the
third.
Arizona hit .361 for the
match, marking the third
straight contest where an Ore
gon opponent has hit over .300.
The Ducks hit .130 for the
match.
The Ducks recorded 36 kills
for the match, compared with 69
for the Wildcats.
Quick hitter Karissa Meitli led
Oregon with 13 kills. Swing hit
ters LaReina Woods and Kristen
Kuschiensky each had six kills
Ruschiunsky led the Ducks with
a .313 hitting percentage.
Katie Kerr and Anna Gomez
again split time at setter, with
each player contributing 14
assists. Woods tallied a team
high 14 blocks.
The Ducks now travel to
Tempo for a match against Ari
zona State on Saturday. The Sun
Devils were 8-2 on the year and
2-2 in the Pac-10 going into
Thursday night's action.
Golfers
finish 7th
The Oregon women's golf
team remained consistent
during the final round of the
Dick McGuire Invitational in
Albuquerque, N.M , Wednes
day, but dropped a spot to
finish seventh in the 54-hole
tournament.
Junior Shannon Hare led
the Ducks at 22ft to finish in
1 nth place, one shot ahead of
teammate Leigh Casey. Karly
Mills shot a final round 77 to
finish at 253, followed by
seniors Amy Klieff at 235 and
Cappv Mack at 237.
The Ducks opened the
tournament with a 306 team
total Monday, followed by
305 Tuesday and 307
Wednesday. San Jose State
won the tournament with
892, and Arizona's Letu
I.indley filed a 4-under-par
68 in the final round to win
