matches and sent three competi- *
tors to the National Champi- 1
onships.
“I feel real good about it,” 1
Kearney said. “We had some f
young wrestlers who made some 1
phenomenal gains. One of the 1
bench-marks you look at as a 1
wrestler is getting 20 wins in a
season and we had a bunch of
freshmen do that.”
Some of the newcomers that
impressed Kearney and his staff
were freshmen Jake Leair, Eric
Webb, and Tony Overstake, along
with sophomore Eugene Harris.
Leair, a true freshman, boasted
a season record of 20-15, tied for
the third-highest win total on the
team. Kearney points to his suc
cess as one of the biggest im
provements on the team.
Webb, who tied Leair in wins
with a 20-12 record, was another
bright spot for the team. Junior
college transfer Eugene Harris
was second only to Doug Lee in
wins at 23-11 and made his first
appearance at the National
Championships.
“You can’t say enough about
he strides that Eric has made,”
Cearney said. “Eugene also did a
;ood job for us. You look at all
hose guys as first-year guys and
hey did a great job for us.”
One person that Kearney and
lis staff needed to continue his
»reat wrestling is Doug Lee. The
wo-time Pacific-10 Conference
:hampion and All-American
urned in what has become a typ
cal season for him, posting a 27
} record and going undefeated
hrough 17 matches.
Lee’s leadership helped some
af the younger grapplers perform
at a high level all season, allow
ing the Ducks to win matches
that they probably should not
have won. Two victories in par
ticular were wins over Fresno
State (ranked No. 25 at the time)
and Brigham Young.
“One of the things that great
teams do is win matches that
they shouldn’t,” Kearney said.
“ We had at least two of those this
year. Against BYU, Doug steps up
and gets a technical fall, Eugene
gets a pin,” Kearney said. “And
against Fresno State, top to bot
tom, our kids came out and lost
only two individual matches.
Those were our signs that we are
on our way.”
At the Pac-10 Championships,
Oregon had a hiccup along the
road to becoming a great team.
The Ducks could have sent five
or six wrestlers to nationals, but
only three qualified to go.
“Our guys wrestled at Pac-lOs
and we had flashes of brilliance,”
Kearney said. “But at tourna
ment-time you can’t have physi
cal or mental lapses. It is hard to
fault them because they worked
so hard. Brian Watson misses six
weeks and comes back and loses
at the end in the finals on tie
breaker. In Eric Webb and Tony
Overstake, if we could re-wrestle
six seconds between the two of
them, we’d have two more quali
fiers.”
The Ducks made some big
strides this season, and with sen
ior Chael Sonnen returning from
his stint with the Olympic team,
the Ducks will be poised to make
a run at the conference title.
“We want to be in the title
hunt here in Eugene,” Kearney
said. “Instead of one All-Ameri
can, we want four or five kids
placing, which would give a top
ten position at nationals.”
