Women: Morris gets
personal best in 800m
■ Continued from Page 11A
ran nine seconds faster than I did
here last year, so I’m way ahead of
where I want to be. ”
Sue Morris capped a busy day
with a 55.6 second leg in the long
relay after recording a personal
best of 2:11.79 in the 800-meter in
the early session. Morris came
back during the twilight session
with a season-best 24.92 in the
200-meter dash.
“She’s just so mature,”
Heinonen said of Morris’ ability to
perform in the three events.
Morris’ specialty is the 400-me
ter dash, but she has also run the
200- and 800-meter races this sea
son.
“I’m really focusing on the 400,
so I’m just using the 200 for speed
and strength,” Morris said. “I’d
like to qualify for the Pac-lOs in
the 200, but I think we’re just play
ing with it.”
Oregon’s throwers continued
solid performances. Heidi Fisk
easily won the discus with a per
sonal record throw of 150-10.
Karis Howell’s throw of 155-4 in
the javelin was the first time in
four weeks she hasn’t set a new
PR, but the mark still resulted in a
second-place finish.
The crowd witnessed an Ameri
can record in the women’s pole
vault during the afternoon session.
Dragila, who also competed in the
heptathlon, broke her previous
record of 13-9 1/2 with a vault of
13-10.
The conclusion of the meet’s
heptathlon on Friday gave Ore
gon’s Jennifer Thomas a third
place finish and NCAA provi
sional mark, but she will most
likely need to score another 150
points in the Pacific-10 Confer
ence heptathlon to secure an
NCAA berth.
Thomas’ score of 5,184 points
trailed Robin Unger and Stacy
Dragila, who scored 5,548 and
5,239 points, respectively.
“The second day was a solid
day. I was fairly happy with it; it
wasn’t so up and down,” Thomas
said.
Golf: Final round was only
formality for Woods
■ Continued from Page 11A
And, for another record, the
21-year-old Woods became the
youngest golfer ever to win the
Masters.
The final round was a mere
formality when Woods entered
with a nine-stroke lead over
Costantino Rocca.
“He’s out there playing anoth
er game on a golf course he is go
ing to own for a long time,” said
Nicklaus, who won the Masters
at 23 and whose six titles are
more than anyone else’s. “I don’t
think I want to go back out and
be 21 and compete against him.”
The Grand Slam — winning the
Masters, U.S. Open, British Open
and PGA in the same year — is
not out of the question for Woods,
and breaking the record low score
of 59 for a competitive round
could be only a matter of time.
A scintillating 66 followed by a
65 in the middle two rounds —
when only one other player
could shoot a 66 — proved that,
and it ended the tournament.
Woods made a birdie on No. 2
— one of the par-5 holes he
played a total of 13 under par for
the week. And he showed his
first flaw since Thursday’s 40 on
the front nine of the first round in
the middle of that nine on Sun
day.
He made bogeys on Nos. 5 and
7, both when he hit bunkers, and
made a bad swing on No. 8, hit
ting his second shot into the pine
needles left of the fairway.
But a great bump-and-run shot
ended 3 feet from the hole and
the birdie seemed to give him his
rhythm back.
By the time Woods turned into
the dangerous stretch of Augusta
known as Amen Comer at No. 11
the easy smile of a very happy
young man was beginning to
break through the shell of con
centration in which Woods sur
rounds himself.
Spirituality:
What does it mean?
How can it help?
Where does it fit in?
