The Oregon men's and wom
en's cross country teams will
either redeem themselves or end
their seasons at Saturday's Dis
trict VII! Championships in
Woodland. Wash
Both teams were upset at the
Pacific-10 Conference Cham
pionships two weeks ago when
the men finished third and the
women took fourth. Both came
into the meet as favorites and
the women missed winning the
title for only the second time in
eight years.
However, the Pai - It) meet was
not nearly as important as Satur
day's meet The Pat;-10 meet
was mostly for bragging rights,
hut a trip to the NCAA Champi
onships is at stake in the Dtstrii!
VIII meet.
The top two teams from both
the men's and the women's rai e
will advance to the NCAA Both
women's coach loin Heinonen
and men’s coach Bill Dellinger
believe their teams can bounce
hack after the disappointing per
formances two yveeks ago.
"Our task is pretty i lear."
Heinonen said "We hove to re
turn to the level we've been in
all of our previous rai es before
the Pac-tn meet, and I think
wi» rt» capable ol inai
Dellinger said his team also
needs to step it up.
"Our team has yet to do what
it's capable of," he said "This is
their NCAA Championships,
and they have to go about it with
that attitude. If they do that,
they're capable of qualifying."
The ltith-ranked men's team
has suffered greatly In the fact
that no one has taken over .is the
leader. In the Ducks’ four races,
only John Dimoff and (hiss
Lindsey have cracked the top
10, and they did it in the same
race— the Willamette In
vitational.
