Abrante and Shannae McNairy
finished second and third, respec
tively.
“It was kind of weird when we
were running the hundred,”
sprinter/hurdler Lucretia Larkin
said. “We were like, ‘Go Ducks.’
“But we made it fun, ‘cause it’s a
lot of peo
ple’s last
meet of the
season, so
all we can
do is en
courage
each other.”
Larkin
herself, is not done.
The redshirt freshman qualified
for next weekend’s Pacific-10 Con
ference Championships at Hay
ward Field back on April 29—but
that hasn’t slowed her steady
progress.
In a two-person race with team
mate McNairy on Saturday, Larkin
PRd in the 100 hurdles again, im
proving to 14.25. McNairy also
PRd, with a time of 14.39, .05 sec
onds off of the Pac-10 standard.
“Some surprises,” head coach
Tom Heinonen said of the Twi
light, “but it was the last chance,
and a lot of people made a lot of
the last chance.”
Freshman Mary Etter—already
qualified in the discus and shot
put — made the most of the oppor
tunity, becoming Oregon’s only
new Pac-10 qualifier, setting a life
time best in the hammer throw
(163-08.) “Yeah,” Etter said, “I’m
pumped for next week. I think I
{{... it was the last
chance, and a lot of peo
ple made a lot of the last
chance.
Tom Heinonen
head coach
can get more.”
Etter joins school-record holder
Maureen Morrison in the hammer,
and throws coach Sally Harmon is
hoping that a third Oregon rep will
be included as well.
‘‘Jordan McDaniels hit 160;
she’s in the 160-club,” Harmon
said. “I’m gonna be pushing for
her to be a wild card. ”
Oregon is allotted three wild
card entries on its 24-athlete ros
ter limit.
“There are spots available,”
Harmon said. “It’s gonna be who
is the most qualified to go and I’m
gonna be pushing hardcore for Jor
dan.”
Indeed, McDaniels has hovered
around 150-some feet for much of
the season before improving on
her PR by three feet at the Twilight.
“Jordan’s gonna be in there,
hopefully,” Etter said. “She de
serves it.”
Other PRs Saturday included
freshman Amanda Brown’s 18-10
1/2 long jump, which leaves her
two inches short of the Pac-10
standard.
Senior Farrah McCubbin began
the final collegiate meet of her ca
reer by winning the 400-meter
hurdles in a lifetime best 1:04.20.
She also won the triple jump with
a leap of 36-7 1/2.
Kenyon sets PR at Pac-1 Os
■ Oregon’s only
heptathlete achieves her
goal of breaking 5,000
points, finishes fourth
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Jenny Kenyon was eagerly
awaiting word of her final results
after just completing the seventh
and final event of the Pacific-10
Conference Heptathlon Champi
onships on Sunday afternoon at
Hayward Field.
Head coach Tom Heinonen
called her attention, mouthing
the word “five” excitedly while
holding up all five fingers.
Assistant coach Mark Stream
hurried over and embraced Ore
gon’s only heptathlete proudly.
Then, the P.A. announcer said
Kenyon achieved a career-best
5,032 points, which brought an
enthusiastic applause from the
crowd and a satisfied smile on
Kenyon’s face.
Her mark was good enough for
a strong fourth-place Jfinish out of
the ten-person event, bettering
her sixth-place finish (4,432) at
last season’s championships. It
also gives the Ducks four points
to use at next weekend’s Pac-10
track and field championships.
The sophomore from New
bury Park, Calif., had set a goal
for this year to break the 5,000
point barrier. Her previous ca
reer-high was 4,793.
“It feels really good,” said
Kenyon, still catching her breath
from her second-place finish in
the 800 meters at a time of 2 min
utes, 19.44 seconds. “I knew I
could do it. I now feel like I can
compete with the big girls. I don’t
feel like a newcomer, which
helps definitely.”
Kenyon started off the two-day
event on the right foot by setting a
PR in the 100-meter hurdles with
a time of 14.59.
“The hurdles were a real plus
for her,” Stream said. “It definite
ly helped her out in the other
events. She just chipped away at
it all weekend and got it done.”
Kenyon did drop off a bit in the
high jump (5-2 1/4) and shot put
(32-9 3/4), but finished off Satur
day strong in the 200 meters.
Kenyon finished third in the
event with a time of 25.09, which
gave her a first day PR point total
of 3,017.
Momentum from the first day
carried over to Sunday’s final
three events. Kenyon opened the
day by setting her heptathlon PR
in the long jump with a length of
18-41/2.
The javelin awaited next,
which is an event Kenyon admit-'
ted is “not her best.” But she per
severed and finished a re
spectable sixth in the event with
a PR heave of 94 71/2.
She capped her weekend with
a crowd-pleasing 800-meter run.
Kenyon credits her success to
just “getting more familiar with
the events.” She said that in high
school she only competed in the
long jump and the sprints and
there is a lot
more im
provement
that needs to
be made.
“There’s
definitely
places I can
improve in,
so I know I
can get even
more points
next year,”
Kenyon said. “I know what I
need to do, and now I just need
to put it all together. ”
One athlete who put it all to
gether tvas California junior Mis
sy Vanek. Vanek ran away with
the Pac-10 Championship with a
point total of 5,505. Joy Goff from
Stanford (5,113) and Cicel
Clinkenbeard from Washington
State (5,044) finished second and
third respectively.
Vanek finished in the top-four
in six of seven events, winning
the 800-meter race (2:14.58) and
high jump (5-8).
“I love running here,” Vanek
said. “There’s so much tradition,
and you’re always excited about
coming up to Tracktown, U.S. A. I
wanted a higher score, but it’s
nice to win.”
Vanek seemed to be equally
impressed with Kenyon’s per
formance.
“I was surprised at how well
she competed,” Vanek said. “In
each event I kept watching out
for her. I never knew what she
was going to do.”
