Track: UCLA women favorite for title
■ Continued from Page 7
ference title since 1978 with a
narrow 145-138 victory over
crosstown rival UCLA in Seat
tle’s Husky Stadium last season,
a win that snapped UCLA’s five
year reign as conference champi
on.
The Bruins and Trojans will
again be the favorites, with Ari
zona likely to contend as well.
“I think it will be pretty tightly
contested between UCLA, USC
and maybe Arizona,” Oregon
men’s head coach Bill Dellinger
said. “USC’s got some big points
coming in the sprints. UCLA’s got
more balance to their scoring, and
Arizona has the leading [800-me
ter runner], they score big in the
javelin, they score big in the shot
and discus ... so Arizona will be
right in there too.”
Going into the meet, USC's
Charles Lee and Marques Holiday
rank 2-3 in the 100-meter dash,
while the Trojans have the top
two 200-meter runners in Jerome
Davis and Charles Lee. Davis adds
to the Trojans’ power in the
sprints by ranking No. 1 in the
400 meters, an event he won last
season.
While UCLA doesn’t figure to
dominate one area, the Bruins can
be expected to score in nearly
every event.
The same can be said on the
women’s side, where Oregon
head coach Tom Heinonen said
UCLA could approach or even
break the meet record for total
points.
The Bruins won the title last
season with 189 1/2 points, but
Heinonen’s unofficial form chart
has them notching 213 points in
Palo Alto.
Last year UCLA women took
individual titles in the 200- and
400-meter sprints, the 100- and
400-meter hurdles, both relays,
the high jump, the javelin and
swept the top two spots in the dis
cus and the top three places in the
shotput.
This season should be no differ
ent, as the Bruins have the third
ranked woman in the 100 and
200, the top 100-meter hurdler,
the top 4XlOO-meter relay and the
second-ranked 4X400-meter re
lay, the top two long jumpers, the
top three in the shotput, the sec
ond-ranked discus thrower and
the No. 1 women in both the ham
mer and javelin.
Southern California finished
second at last year’s meet and
should fair well again this
weekend. The Trojans’ Torri
Edwards is ranked first in the
conference at 200 meters and
second in the 100, while
Natasha Danvers leads the 400
hurdles entrants and is second
in the 100 hurdles. Polish-na
tive Penc leads the Pac-10 in
both the 800 and 1,500 meters,
where she is the three-time de
fending champion.
Arizona could be able to im
prove on its fourth-place finish of
last year on the heels of Skieresz,
who is ranked No. 1 in the Pac-10
at 3,000,5,000 and 10,000 meters.
The Wildcats also have the top
ranked athletes in the 400 meters
and pole vault.
Arizona State should recover
after missing the championships
last season, with Dawnyell Linder
ranked first in the conference at
100 meters. Top-ranked high
jumper Fiona Daly can also be ex
pected to score for the Sun Devils.
Finally, Washington will again
struggle to be a factor in the team
competition, but former
Olympian Aretha Hill should bat
tle Powell for the league discus ti
tle.

Griffey says he’ll skip
home-run contest
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
— Ken Griffey Jr., says he
won’t take part in the annual
home run derby the day be
fore the All-Star game at
Coors Field.
“They don’t know it yet, but
I’m not doing it this year,” Grif
fey told the Eastside Journal of
Bellevue, Wash.
Griffey, who also told The
Denver Post he will not partici
pate, has been in the contest
five times, missing 1995 and
1996 because of injuries. He
won it four years ago in Pitts
burgh.
Griffey and teammate Alex
Rodriguez are tied for the Amer
ican League home run lead this
season with 16 apiece.
“I talked about it yesterday,
and I don't want to talk about it
today,” Griffey said Wednes
day. "I don’t want to have to
keep repeating myself.”
This would be the second
straight year he would have to
play a night game (at Texas) the
day before the contest. Griffey
also said that home run derbies,
especially in a homer-friendly
ballpark like Coors, can mess up
a player’s swing.
Griffey said he tried to back
out of last year’s event. But he
said Gene Orza, the No. 2 offi
cial of the players’ union, told
him, “This is bigger than you.”
