to get into if you want to be rich
and famous.”
Another Oregon rider, Brian
Fuentes, finished with the lead
ers on Friday but had a flat tire in
the time trial Saturday.
The second race on Saturday
was a criterion in Cottage Grove.
The Oregon racers did a decent
job, even if the weather showed
its true Oregon nature, cutting
the races short for all categories
and subtracting from the fun,
Shanks said.
“The rain made it really hard
mentally, and it’s dangerous,”
Fuentes said with regards to the
weather on Saturday and the
crash Thursday that sent one rid
er to the hospital after a wet,
twisty descent forced his bike out
of balance at high speed.
On Sunday, Fuentes experi
enced a computer failure and
dropped out of the race to retype
his presentation scheduled for
Sunday afternoon.
“I wanted to do the race before
I graduated,” Fuentes said. “I’m
sad 1 didn’t get to the race Sun
day. but I’m here for school first.”
Even though it’s easy to lose
perspective after such a large
race, the Ducks are heading for a
tough collegiate conference race
in Bozeman, Mont., next week
end.
“That’s the most hilly race in
the collegiate conference,”
Shanks said. “And it’s hard to
drive up on Friday, race and
drive back for school Monday,
but I’ll sleep on the ground. I’ll
sleep in the van if I have to just to
go to races.”
Shanks said they’ll play hard
this week and next to peak at the
important regional champi
onships in Walla Walla, Wash., in
two weeks. Riders get extra
points at regionals for any places
they take.
Crew
One day earlier the stock mar
ket in New York had plummeted.
Coach Phil Holmes of the Oregon
Club Sports Crew team, who said
he makes some money from the
stock market, was worried what
about what would happen. But at
least there was nothing for his
team to worry about.
His crew team won four out of
its six races at the Covered Bridge
Regatta at Dexter Lake. The
women finished second and fifth
in the women’s open novice
eight-person race and light

lacrosse of the season.

weight four-plus race.
“There wasn’t much of a strat
egy today,” Holmes said. “It was
pretty much Tow hard.’ I think
we were able to do that.”
The Ducks have been compet
ing since the end of fall term in
regattas such as the Frost Bite
and Husky Invitational, which
were both in Seattle. Team coor
dinator Stephanie Saiz said Sat
urday’s regatta was useful to see
where the team is at in this point
of the season.
“I think we are in pretty good
shape,” Saiz said. “We did better
than last year when we averaged
second in this race.”
The more competitive races
start on May 6 at the Opening
Day in Seattle, which thousands
of spectators come to watch. The
biggest race for the Ducks is on
May 20 when the Pacific Coast
Rowing Championship takes
place.
Holmes said the current team
should do well there. The next
regatta for Oregon is the Cascade
Sprint on April 29.
Ultimate frisbee
It was a great weekend for the
Oregon Club Sports ultimate fris
bee team. The Ducks went 7-0 in
the Oregon/North California Col
lege Section Tournament and
won the whole thing.
Everything went well for the
Ducks, who were able to rest vet
eran players, test new players
and try out strategies and still
beat full-strength teams without
much trouble.
Oregon senior Justin Gardner
contributed both defensively and
offensively with outstanding
saves and assists, Joshua Gree
nough said. The Ducks defense
did a fine job blocking 10 shots
throughout the weekend, which
demoralized opponents’ offenses,
Greenough said.
Oregon competes at the region
al tournament on April 28 and 29
in Santa Cruz, Calif. The top two
teams will head to the nationals
on May 26 through 28 in Boise,
Idaho.
Men’s lacrosse
Beating the Beavers in a Civil
War game is always sweet, but
beating them after going winless
for almost a month is exception
ally sweet.
The Oregon Club Sports Men’s
lacrosse team won 7-3 at Corval
lis and went on to win against
Whitman College 11-7 the next
day at the turf field adjacent to
the Recreation Center.
Patrick O’Donnell scored three
goals to lead the Ducks in scoring
for both games.
“We played the best lacrosse of
the season,” Cameron Kossen
said. “Our offense played excep
tionally well with great passing
and shooting, and our defense
played their usual tough de
fense.”
