to get Pac-10 and NCAA marks.
Nat Johnson is listed to compete
in the long jump. However, due to
fouling on too many jump at
tempts throughout the season, the
senior said he may look for his first
NCAA mark of the season in the
triple jump.
If practice is any indication,
Johnson would be suited just fine.
Earlier this week, he said he triple
jumped his way to 48 feet — off of
five steps. To put that in perspec
tive, the Pac-10 qualifying mark is
47 feet, 7 inches.
Johnson isn’t new to the triple
jump. He said he came to Oregon
thinking he would specialize in
that event but then became in
volved with other areas of track
and field.
“I haven’t done it before because
it doesn’t work well with being a
sprinter. I’m always excited to
compete for a crowd, and using the
triple jump as an outlet is a good
way to do diat,” Johnson said.
There will be plenty of running
events. The football trio of Ricardo
Cottengim, Jermaine Hanspard and
Sarnie Parker represent the Ducks
in the 100 meters. Sprinter Howard
Moore will replace Hanspard’s spot
in the trio for the 200 meters.
Moore also makes his return to
the 400 meters after competing in
the 200 at last Saturday’s Oregon
Invitational.
After racing for a lifetime best in
the 800 last Saturday, Krempley
steps out of his comfort zone to
compete in the 400.
“I had two emotional runs, and I
feel like the 800 is on for me,”
Krempley said. “It’s rational for
me to run the 400, because still in
my head, I think everything is go
ing great in the 800. I’ll think that
going into the Pac-lO’s. ”
Krempley said he’s not thinking
of the 400 as a way to hold himself

over until the Pac-lO’s. He’s hop
ing that his recent momentum will
aid him in the shorter race.
“I hope it can carry over to the
400,” he said. ‘‘I want to get a low
47. If I get a 46, I’ll be just as happy
as [last Saturday].”
This season has not been as
kind to Oregon’s distance corps as
it has to its sprinters. Senior Steve
Fein, who has yet to run a 5,000 in
the outdoor season, is not listed to
compete in any event at Stanford.
That’s not good, considering
time to qualify for the postseason
is running out.
Todd Humcke is scheduled to
run the 1,500, and Adam
Bergquist, Andrew Bliss and
Michael Kasahun the 5,000. Bliss’
seasonal-best time of 14:6.49 is an
NCAA-provisional mark.
As usual, Oregon should find
most of its success on the field.
Johnson probably will double in
the long jump, along with Moore
and Colin McArthur.
Currently, 21 Ducks have Pac
10-qualifying marks. Only three
have provisionally qualified for
the NCAA Championships in
Durham, N.C. on May 31 through
June 3. The three are Bliss, Boness
and decathalete Santiago Lorenzo.
