one of 11 seniors on the Oregon
women s track and field team
who will compete in their final
Pac-10 meet today and Saturday
in Tempe, Ariz.
Oregon head coach Tom
Heinonen calls the Pac-lOs “the most
important meet of the season” be
cause only a handful of Ducks move
on to the NCAA Championships at
Boise, Idaho, in early June.
“This is a culminating event —
it s what we have been aiming
for,” Heinonen said. “It’s the
biggest meet of the year. ”
Kaarin Knudson is on track to
give her best-ever performance in
the 800 after posting a lifetime best
of 4:20.51 in the 1,500 last Saturday
at the Oregon Twilight. Knudson
may compete in both events at the
NCAAs, but will only run the 800
during Saturday’s competition.
In the throws, Heidi Fisk paces
Oregon with the potential to earn
qualifying marks in the discus and
hammer. Fisk set a personal best
in the discus last weekend with a
164-foot, 11-inch throw, nine
inches short of an NCAA-provi
sional mark.
“I know I haven’t peaked yet be
cause I’ve got a lot left in me,” she
said. “I’m feeling really fresh go
ing down there. My shoulder is
feeling better, so, all in all, I think
it’s going to be a good weekend. ”
Hurdler Tish Henes is also
searching for an NCAA mark. The
senior has qualified for the NCAAs
for the past three years in the 400
hurdles and should have two
chances this weekend to capture her
fourth championship appearance.
The meet should also be inter

esting for the Ducks’ pole vaulters.
Karina Elstrom and Niki Reed
have been vaulting strongly in re
cent weeks, and Heinonen said
the duo could easily finish with
scoring marks.
Taryn Tarver and Aisha Wal
lace travel to Arizona to compete
in the 100 and 400, respectively.
Neither received a Pac-10 qualify
ing mark this season, but Tarver
was chosen as the right-of-entry
pick. Wallace was one of four Ore
gon wild cards.

^in,® ^a bit more complicated. Although Davis
quahfied in the 1,500 on March 13, his qualifying
mark for the steeplechase didn’t happen until last
weekend at the Oregon Adidas Classic.
And three-time All-American Steve Fein, a first
year Duck but veteran of championship meets, failed
£q , &m 5’000 at the °reg°n Invitational on
May 1. The following week — just two weeks before
the Pac-10 meet — Fein traveled to California for the
Cardinal Invitational and qualified for both postsea
son meets.
“Now you concentrate on racing and your work
outs are more intense,” Fein said. “At Pac-lOs, you’re
measured against everyone else. ”
But for Kyley Johnson (high jump), Davis and Bu
ciarski, it will be the other athletes who are trying to
f
measure up. Johnson and Davis are defending cham
pions in their events, and Buciarski is the top-ranked
pole vaulter and was the 1997 champion in Seattle.
I d like to see us place well,” Buciarski said. “I
know we’re not the deepest team, but we are capa

Oliver Wirz is 11th in the event. But the Ducks are
going to be without Matthew Davis, their top athlete
m the 5,000 and 10,000. Davis is ranked sixth in the
nation in the 10,000 and is currently third on Ore
gon s all-time list (28:38.86). Oregon head coach Mar
tin Smith said a hip injury that has hampered Davis
all season is the reason for his absence.
Last season, Oregon finished fifth in the Pac-10
meet at Stanford.
