Ducks take team,
individual titles
■ Hanna Smedstad and Chris
Clancy lead the Duck Harriers
to Division 1 titles at the
Willamette Open
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
In their last appearance in the
state of Oregon, the Duck men and
women Harriers made a strong im
pression and now look ahead to fu
ture championship meets.
Oregon senior Hanna Smedstad
put in yet another strong perform
ance Saturday, as she won the 26th
annual
Willamette
Open and led
her Oregon
women’s cross
country team to
the team title.
The transfer
from Oklahoma State toured the
5,000-meter course in 17 minutes
and five seconds — three seconds
ahead of runner-up Abby Peters.
Twenty-five teams and over 700
runners at Bush Pasture Park in
Salem comprised the largest cross
country race on the west coast.
Oregon won the meet with a
score of 23 points; more impres
sively is that the Ducks provided
the first five Division 1 runners.
Senior Katie Crabb had a break
through race as she finished third
in a time of 17:30, a personal best
by 29 seconds. The next Duck to
the finish line was sophomore Eri
MacDonald at sixth in a time of
17:57, followed closely by fresh
man Laura Harmon, who came in
seventh at the 17:58 mark.
The race marks the first time that
Oregon had four runners under the
18-minute mark since the NCAA
championships in 1997.
Oregon had two more runners in
the top-20 with sophomore Erinn
Gulbrandsen (14th, 18:19) and
sophomore transfer Carrie Zografos
(19th, 18:32). Freshman Annette
Mosey (34th in 18:50) and sopho
more Annie Davis (47th in 19:03)
rounded out the Duck contingent.
“Our athletes ran strong and re
laxed,” head coach Tom Heinonen
said. “This was a good step for us
as we prepare for pre-nationals
next week. Hanna battled it out
with Abby Peters, a former All
American from Boise State, and
pulled ahead at 1 1/2 miles, then
held off a late rush for the win.”
Oregon scored 23 points, well
ahead of second place Greater
Boise Running Club. In Division 1
scoring, the Ducks’ perfect score of
15 points stunned the competition.
Portland was second with 49
points.
“This race will determine which
six runners — in addition to Rhian
non Glenn who we held out — will
compete at Pre-Nationals next Sat
urday,” Heinonen said. “It was a
good test over 5,000 meters and a
good performance to get us ready
for the next meet.”
The Duck men also placed well
in Salem. Although entering a “B”
team, Oregon edged all other Divi
sion 1 opponents while placing
18th overall.
Freshman Chris Clancy was the
top Duck, placing 23rd in a time of
25:05 over the 8,000-meter course.
The freshman from Portland was
seventh among collegians and ran
55 seconds faster than his time last
week at the Roy Griak Invitational.
The rest of the Oregon team con
sisted of 800 meter runners from
the track team. Juniors Sean Gross
and Merrit McDole finished 133rd
and 134rd respectively in identical
times of 27:03.
Junior Ross Krempley, who was
an 800-meter finalist at the Pacific
10 Conference track and field
championships last May, finished
162nd in 27:23. Not far behind was
freshman Mike Pluth at 169th in a
time of 27:33. Sophomore Jake
Horner was the last Duck to finish,
as he came in at 244th in a time of
29:29.
Up next for the Duck Harriers is
the Pre-NCAA meet in Ames, Iowa.
The meet will feature many of the
nation’s best teams on the course
that will be used for the NCAA
Championships November 20.

but that happens.”
Baysa’s 22nd career goal on
Sunday was enough to move her
past Erin Anderson as Oregon’s
all-time leading goal-scorer. Baysa
is now four points behind Ander
son for the all-time lead in points
scored.
“It feels good,” said Baysa, about
knocking down the Ducks’
records. “But I’m more excited
about the win. Hopefully we’ll just
keep getting better after that.”
Baysa’s goals couldn’t have
come at a better time for the
Ducks. Three of Oregon’s key of
fensive players sat on the sidelines
Sunday, and could only watch the
junior’s offensive display. Forward
Beth Bowler missed the weekend’s
games with a sprained left ankle,
Crystal David was out with a knee
injury and sophomore Julie
McLellan missed Sunday’s
matchup due to the flu.
With all of those offensive
threats out of Oregon’s lineup,
Baysa and her supporting cast had
to step up the offensive heat on
Arizona. With help from Wester
mark, Cascio, senior Allyssa White
and junior Molly Stemp, Baysa
and the Ducks were able to fill the
void left by David, Bowler and
McLellan. Cascio and Westermark
had assists on Baysa’s first goal,
while Stemp assisted on her sec
ond.
The Ducks played everyone
who was suited for Sunday’s
game.
“We played everybody we
could,” Steffen said. “And that’s a
great testimony to the depth of this
team.”
“Our offense stepped up a lot,”
Baysa said. “But it started with our
defense. It was a team effort.”
The defense let Arizona get only
15 shots, and only seven of those
were on goal. The defense shut
down one of Arizona’s leading
scorers, freshman Liz Bartlett, who
had only two shot attempts. Ari
zona’s other leading scorer, speedy
junior Kristi Lorona, had five shots
on the afternoon.
“We played with all our heart
and all our emotion,” Peters said.
The defense also shut down Ari
zona State’s All-American junior,
Stacey Tullock, on Friday. Tullock
didn’t start the game because of
the flu, but when she came in, the
nation’s 13th-ranked scorer took
booming shot after booming shot
— all of which missed the Oregon
net. Oregon’s defense gave her few
shots inside the 18-yard box.
The Ducks will take on USC and
UCLA in Los Angeles next week
end and then return home Oct. 20
to battle Oregon State.
