road this week for the Pacific-10 Championships in
Tacoma, Wash., starting today and concluding
Wednesday.
The 54-hole tournament will be played on the par
72, 6,100-yard Tacoma Country Club and Golf
Course.
The Pac-10 has proven to be the toughest confer
ence in the nation this season with five teams in the
top 12 and eight in the top 40. Arizona (No. 2) is the
top-rated Pac-10 team followed by No. 3 Arizona
State, No. 7 Stanford, No. 11 UCLA and No. 12 Ore
gon. Host school Washington is ranked No. 25 going
into the tournament.
The Ducks dropped a spot in the latest poll, but
Oregon individual Paula Patterson jumped up a spot
to No. 23 in the nation. Two other Ducks, Kylie Wil
son and Anika Heuser, are ranked in the top 70 in the
nation. Wilson is No. 57 and Heuser is No. 70.
Expected to go for the Ducks at the Pac-10 meet
this week are Patterson, Wilson, Heuser, Karen Bris
tow and Pam Sowden.
The Ducks started off strong this season, winning
four of their first five tournaments, but they have
slowed down just a bit finishing fourth three out of
the last four tournaments and third last week at Stan
ford.
The women have the Northwest Challenge April
28 following the Pac-lOs to prepare for the NCAA
GOLF
rmampionsmps May 21-24.
The Oregon men nabbed one
more top-10 finish, this time at the
ASU Thunderbird/Savane Invita

weekend. Oregon finished strong in
the final round to jump up to 10th
from 15th place.
Oregon shot rounds of 306, 297 and 284 to finish
with a 287. Ben Crane and J. J. Astorquia led the way
for the Ducks, both tying for 26th place with a five
over par 221.
Astorquia started off slow but came back with a
four-under par 68 in the final round. Ryan Lavoie fin
ished six-over par with a 222. His best round came
on the last day with a par 72.
Chris Cone also had a strong final round, finishing
up with a two-under par 70 to place 61st, and Jeff
Barney was 15 over to tie for 70th.

team title with a score of 854. Jeff Mixon of Okla

just Bleakney’s second of the sea
son, as he has been hampered by
hamstring injuries.
The Ducks also made some
noise in the throwing events, with
junior Ryan Cole leading the way.
Cole threw a career-best 55-0 to
finish second in the shot put and
placed third in the discus with a
throw of 164-11. Oregon’s Dusty

Jeremy Robinson also recorded
a season-best in the hammer,
placing second while tossing the
ball and chain 196-9, one inch off
an NCAA provisional mark.
While the Ducks shined in the
field events, they didn’t fare too
poorly in the running events, ei
ther.
Senior Daniel Das Neves, fresh
off an NCAA automatic qualifying
time in the steeplechase at last
weekend’s Oregon Invitational,
cruised to a relatively easy victo
ry in that event again. Das Neves
clocked 8:47.96, more than five
seconds better than Indiana’s
Tom Chorny.
“I already had my qualifier, so
just winning and scoring the
points, that was the plan for to
day,” Das Neves said.
Oregon sophomore Micah
Davis turned in one of the biggest
surprises of the day in the 5,000
meter run, finishing second with
a personal best 14:19.54.
Davis hung with Arizona all
American Bob Keino all the way
before finally succumbing on the
final straightaway. Keino finished
first with a time of 14:17.55.
The Ducks’ other highlights
came in the hurdles. Will
Driessen finished second in the
400-meter hurdles in 53,18, while
Quincy Ruffin came in second in
the 110-meter hurdles, clocking
14.76. Driessen finished third in
that event.

59.76 time and a win in the 400-meter hurdles.
“1 wanted to get my steps right in this race and run
fast,” Henes said.
Henes also anchored Oregon’s winning 4x400-me

Aisha Wallace. Despite rainy conditions, the team
recorded a season best of 3:44.47.
Amy Skieresz, the collegiate 5,000-meter indoor
champion and cross country champion from Ari
zona, easily beat the rest of the 5,000-meter field with
a meet record of 15 minutes, 54.13 seconds. The time
was an NCAA automatic qualifying mark.
Knudson surged to the win in the 1,500-meter run
with a time of 4:27.97. Knudson said she wasn’t fo
cusing on a possible qualifying time, but rather want
ed to win the race and score points.
For the sophomore Davis, it was the first time as a
Duck that she has won a race at Hayward Field. Davis
recorded a time of 9:35.45 in the 3,000-meter run.

If all it took was a half
a second to help save a
tree would you do it?
The answer is probably yes. But how?
Simple.
During class today, make it a point to
use both sides of your paper when
taking notes. Just flip the paper over.
Sounds too easy, doesn’t it? Well it is.
But the fact is by the end of this week
the whole population at the University of
Oregon will have saved 140,000 pieces
of paper. Not bad, don't you think?
Even more amazing, by this time next
year, we’ll be able to save 7.28 million
pieces of paper.
With all of us at the University of
Oregon making this commitment,
whether at school, work or home, the
difference will be significant.
Begin today to make that half a
second count to help reduce the
amount of paper being used. Together
we can make a difference. Celebrate
Earth Day every day. Remember, use
wisely, because paper = trees.
