Fein does it again,
leads UO to third
■ Two-time All-American
Steve Fein leads the No. 12
Ducks, setting a record and
winning his third title this fall
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Records are made to be broken
— or as in Steve Fein’s case,
smashed.
The senior co-captain of the
Oregon men’s cross country team
captured the individual title at the
Pacific-10 Conference Champi
onships in course-record time,
leading the Ducks to a strong
third-place finish at El Dorado Re
gional Park in Long Beach, Calif.
Fein’s 8,000-meter run in 23
minutes, 37 seconds was 39 sec
onds faster than the previous
record, held by California’s Bolota
Asmerom, who finished seventh
on Saturday. With the win, Fein
became the third Oregon harrier of
the decade to claim a conference
title. Colin Daltan took the crown
in 1991 and Karl Keska did the
same in 1995.
Fein beat Arizona’s premier
runner, Micheil Jones (second,
23:48), by a full 11 seconds, with
Stanford senior Jake Maas (third,
23:58) and Arizona State sopho
more Fasil Bizuneh (fourth, 24:00)
close behind.
The victory was Fein’s third
straight individual title in as many
races. He improved six places from
his finish at last season’s Pac-lOs.
Fein paced himself throughout
the race and maintained his All
American stride as other runners
fell back.
“I was happy with my race,”
Fein said. “It was a fairly quick
pace up front early, then at the 5K
mark Micheil and I opened up a
little gap on the rest of the front
pack. At the 4-mile mark, I started
to make a move and was able to
put 15 yards on him right away.
From there things went well until
the finish. This
gives me another
confidence
boost since the
Pac-10 is one of
the strong con
ferences.”
Fein had plenty of help, as his
fellow co-captain Andrew Bliss
finished with a ninth-place time of
24:32. Also finishing in the top 20
were freshman Jason Hartmann
(15th, 24:46) and junior Michael
Kasahun (19th, 24:59).
For Kasahun, a junior-college
transfer from Fresno City College,
the performance at the conference
championships gives a sense of be
longing in big-time college running.
“I came in with top 20 as my
goal, so I started out hard to be in
that position early and try to hang
on,” Kasahun said. “This is my
first year against the big schools so
I have some things to learn about
racing and training since this is a
totally different system. I think I
can still do better, and I’m still’
coming along.”
Other Duck finishers included
juniors Sam Hill (32nd, 25:41) and
Lincoln Nehring (43rd, 26:06) and
freshman Kris Martin (50th, 27:31).
In the overall team race, No. 2
Stanford was upset in its bid for a
fourth consecutive title, losing to
No. 6 Arizona, with No. 12 Oregon
right behind in third.
Ducks run into heat,
take sixth at PaG-1 Os
■ Freshman Amy Nickerson
leads the way tor No. 23
Oregon in high temperatures
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Northwest schools were at
a severe disadvantage Saturday.
hi near 90-degree heat, the No.
23 Oregon women’s cross country
team placed sixth overall with 135
points at the Pacific-10 Confer
ence Championships in Long
Beach, Calif.
With top runner Katie Crabb out
nursing an Achilles injury, the
Ducks relied on a lineup featuring
six runners without conference
championship experience.
Leading the way once again for
the Ducks was freshman Amy
Nickerson, who finished 18th over
all in the 5,000-meter race with a
time of 18 minutes, 3 seconds.
Nickerson has fully recovered from
an Achilles injury and is showing
immense maturity for someone in
her first year of college running.
“Even though it was my first
Pac-10 race, I really wasn’t sur
prised by anything today,” Nick
erson said. “It was nice that it was
a lot smaller than other races
we’ve already run, so it was a re
lief to an extent."
Helping Nickerson in leading
the team was fellow freshman Tara
Struyk (20th, 18:05) and junior
Rhiannon Glenn (22nd, 18:10).
“I felt after pre-nationals I need
ed to get out faster,” said Struyk,
who was the team’s early leader. “I
run a little better if I get out and
hold my place early. I ran pretty
much as hard as I could, but it was
pretty hot, which was hard for me.”
The heat seemed to be a strong
.factor for teams not accustomed to
such temperatures. No. 9 Wash
ington finished behind two sunny
schools, No. 1 Stanford and No. 11
Arizona State. Also ahead of the
Ducks were No. 14 UCLA and Ari
zona.
“All of our bodies felt good be
fore,” Glenn
said. “Then we
got in the race
and a lot of us
seemed to be af
fected by the
heat. Both Amy
and I agreed that we felt unusually
bad, and with the dusty and dry
conditions, it just wasn’t out turf. ”
Finishing behind Nickerson,
Struyk and Glenn for Oregon were
freshmen Erinn Gulbrandsen
(31st, 18:40) and Eri Macdonald
(44th, 19:19) and juniors Kylee
Wells (49th, 20:07) and Chrissy
Ruiter (50th, 20:31).
Head coach Tom Heinonen was
aiming for a fourth-place finish
heading into the race, but he came
away pleased with the amount of
effort his runners showed in not
so-friendly conditions.
“This was a step for us, regard
less of how it goes,” Heinonen
said. “Our runners competed hard
in awful conditions. It’s disap
pointing to be sixth, but the hot
weather teams beat the cool
weather teams they were battling
around. It will be our turn in Port
land [at the Western Regionals on
Nov. 13], and it will be something
we have to take advantage of.”
