Women: Davis dominates the 5,000 ■ Continued from Page 7 time of 16 minutes, 26.14 seconds. It was Davis’ third NCAA qualifying time and a new personal best. Davis has also provisionally qualified in the 1,500 and 3,000 meters. “When you’re in a race like that, I feel bad always sitting behind some one," Davis said of taking the lead over halfway into the race. “So 1 wanted to go up there and help out. ” Davis finished a comfortable 150 yards in front of Washington’s Anna Aoki and Deeja Youngquist, who are ranked 1-2 nationally in the 10,000 meters. In the middle distances, Ore gon's Katie Crabb won the 800 me ters in 2:09.97, a quarter second faster than Colorado’s Kelly Smith. “It was nice to get a win,” said Crabb, who wasn’t particularly happy with her time. “It wasn’t one I was looking for, but it felt good. ” Most Oregon athletes where happy with their efforts consider ing the strenuous week of practice heading into the meet. Oregon’s Nicole Commissiong continued her comeback after missing all of last season with a knee injury by finishing fourth in the 200 and 400 meters and run ning legs on both Duck relays. "Physically I’m there. Mentally, it’s really a matter of learning how to compete,” Commissiong said. “It's been a little bit of a challenge, but I’m getting there. ” Men: Micah Davis wins the steeplechase ■ Continued from Page 7 Perhaps the greatest individual performance of the day came in one of the last races, when Colorado se nior Adam Goucher literally ran away from the rest of the field in the 5,000 meters. Running the fastest time in the nation this year — by 10 seconds — Goucher pulled away early and ran most of the race all alone, way out in front of anybody else. With the fans on their feet, Goucher crossed the finish line in 13 minutes, 42.90 seconds. Oregon’s Adam Bergquist was second in 14:24.63. “This is the most unbelievable place in the world to run,” Goucher said. “The crowd on both ends was incredible. ” The busiest athlete of the day was Washington’s Ja’Warren Hooker, who won the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash and ran the last leg of the Huskies’ victorious 400-meter relay team. Oregon’s Micah Davis got things started on the track with a spectacular steeplechase effort. Davis overtook and held off Colorado’s Clint Wells on the fi nal lap to win in a time of 8:45.47, just off the auto matic NCAA time of 8:44. “I didn’t feel super great today, so it was a good race for me,” Davis said. Next up for the Ducks are the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa on Friday and Saturday.
