a great track and field team.
A great team also must have
great athletes.
The Ducks were already an es
tablished women’s track and field
team when Heinonen took over.
Oregon’s most famous athlete of
all time, Steve Prefontaine, died
the previous year, but his legacy
remained heavily felt.
Prefontaine’s influence contin
ues to bring athletes to Oregon.
But according to Heinonen, not
as much for the women.
Because when the Oregon
women were inducted into the
NCAA in the late 1980s and the
NorPac Conference became the
Pac-10, the track and field schol
arship market boomed on a na
tionwide scale. History began
meaning less and money began
meaning more.
Track was a staple sport for the
Ducks, but scholarships were fo
cused on Oregon’s revenue sports.
Other schools began giving
more lucrative scholarships early.
Oregon did not.
“We still offered^ athletes what
they were worth, and then they
earned more with their perform
ances,” Heinonen said. “We were
losing out on athletes left and
right.
“Full rides are now required to
recruit. Lesser schools are offering
full rides. We realize we have to do
that to get people to come here.”
*****
Heinonen said what happened
to his team this season is compara
ble to what happened in 1986.
The Ducks didn’t fall from the
top — they scored just four points
at the NCAA meet last season, ty
ing for 51st overall — but more
than half of Heinonen’s team are
underclassmen.
Heinonen challenged his team
to score 74 points at next season’s
Pac-10 meet. To do so would dou
ble Oregon’s score this season.
“We’re much better than we
showed at the Pac-10 meet,” he
said. “That’s simply with the peo
ple we have returning, not consid
ering next year’s newcomers.”
The Ducks haven’t slipped late
ly at the national level. This week,
the Oregon women have four ath
letes at the NCAA Championships
in Durham, N.C.
“I don’t know if we can ever get
back up to first, given today’s re
cruiting,” Heinonen said, “but I
think we can be competitive and
respectable.”
Heinonen has hope but looks
ahead with a careful eye.
“We’ll see next year whether
this was a bump in the road, or a
fork in the road,” He said. “We’ll
have the same coaches and the
same amount of money to recruit
with. I have every reason to think
that we’ll get back to being re
spectable again, but talk is cheap.
We have to make it happen. ”
Tom Heinonen has led the Oregon women to three NCAA titles and nine Pac-10 Con
ference titles in his 24-year career with the Ducks.
Track

heave.
“Place-wise, I did OK,” Etter
said in a released statement. “But
I was a little disappointed with
the distance because I was shoot
ing for an Olympic Trials qualify
ing mark of 175-6.'’
Fein missed advancing to the
finals by .19 seconds, edged by
Illinois State’s Christian Goy in
the final kick.
South Alabama’s David Ki
mani won the first of two heats in
3:44.70. Stanford’s Gabe Jennings
won the second heat with a time
of 3:43.18.
Fein receiyed All-American
honors because his time ranks
among the top eight American
finishers. Out of the 12 athletes
advancing to the men’s 1,500 fi
nals, five were from out of the
country.
“I’ll move off this just like I
would any race, good or bad, and
go back to training,” Fein said.
“My workouts have been going
well coming in so we’re on pace
to accomplish our goals in the
5,000 at the Olympic Trials [in
July].”
Crabb took control of the pace
late in the women’s 1,500, but it
was Villanova’s Carmen Douma
who won the heat in 4:19.26.
Rice’s Shaquandra Roberson won
the second heat in 4:20.46.
Two more Ducks begin action
in today’s NCAA competition.
Santiago Lorenzo competes in
day one of the decathlon, and
two-time All-American Niki
Reed will try to add a third honor
in the women’s pole vault.
