Trivia time.
Question: Which ath
letic program hero at
Oregon has finished in
the top ten in the nation 17
times since 1968, has racked
up four national titles and is
currently ranked 13th in the
nation?
Answer: The men's cross
country team.
With the recent success of
other programs such as football
and haskottial! there has Immio a
lot of jumping on the Ducks'
bandwagon.
If it's so nice and so easy to
back a winning program then
take a look at the most winning
program at Oregon and consid
er what many people have tak
en for granted — a team that is
consistently among the nation's
leaders.
Under the guidance of head
OPINION
coai h Bill
Dellinger for
the last 26
y«am. Oregon
cross country
has b««n
nothing but
spectacular
In
Dellinger's
first year in
1969, Oregon
finished third in the nation, the
next year they finished second
and in his third year as coach
in 1971 Dellinger won his first
national championship
The Ducks have won three
more national titles since then
— in 1973, 1974 and 1977
Winning the four national
championship* was an awfully
satisfying experience,"
Dellinger said.
During Dellinger's tenure the
Ducks have won 12 conference
championships, finished sec
ond nine times, finished third
four tunes and hail their worst
finish in 1984 coining in at
fourth place. Not bad consider
ing your worst season is still
better than half your confer
ence.
Dellinger has been a success
ful and instrumental part of the
program as a runner, a graduate
assistant and presently as head
coach.
"It's l»»on an awfully good
ride taring harw oi the universi
ty," Dellinger said "1 like the
style of living and I f««il
attached to the university I feel
lucky that I’m here — I think
this is the host place in the
world to live "
Dellinger gave much credit
for his success to the two Hills
that came l#>fore him. Hill Hay
ward and Bill Bowennnn.
"1 came to Oregon to run for
Bill Bowennnn,'' Dellinger
said "His contribution to track,
and field is immense — he has
been a huge influent o on my
life.”
Just as Dellinger named Bow
erman ns his reason for coming
to Oregon, some of tins year's
runners, such us senior Scott
Nu holes, named Dellinger us
one of their reasons for coining
here.
"I liked the facility and I
liked Dellinger,” Nicholas said
"Hu s a curing conch I can call
him up or just go into his office
and dint with him."
Oregon's cross country, track
and field programs have such a
long winning tradition that the
program is known nation wide
and sometimes seems to lie
appreciated more outside the
state than it is inside the state.
It's lough to make compar
isons between this year's run
