Freshman Aaron Emery followed

In contrast to the men’s success,
the Duck women were dealt a ma
jor blow in their quest for a fourth
straight NCAA appearance.
Tom Heinonen’s 22nd-ranked
squad came into Ames, Iowa, with
plans to dethrone other top-25
teams. But the Ducks found them
selves on the receiving end at the
meet.
Oregon placed 21st overall, 14th

Senior Hanna Smedstad led the
Ducks with a 35th-place finish,
well below her 18th place finish at
the NCAA meet last year. The trans
fer from Oklahoma State covered
the 6,000-meter course in 21:55.
Senior Rhiannon Glenn was the
next Duck to the line, placing 123rd
in a time of 22:47.
Sophomores Erinn Gulbrandsen
and Eri MacDonald followed in
163rd and 176th, respectively.
Senior Katie Crabb, who is usu

Freshman Laura Harmon was
not far behind in 202nd in a time
of 23:34. Sophomore Carrie Zo
grafos rounded out the Oregon
contingent in 304th in a time of

“Almost everyone felt flat and
tired,” Heinonen said. “We tried to
run conservative early, and some
our runners were able to move up
a little. Rhiannon and Erinn ran
pretty solid races, but as a team we
were far below form.”
Defending national champion
Brigham Young won the team title
with 128 points. Colorado’s Kara
Wheeler took the individual title
in 20:27.
The Ducks will get two more
chances to impress the NCAA se
lection committee. In two weeks,
Oregon travels to Seattle for the
Pac-10 championships. On Nov.
11, the Duck Harriers get a final
chance to earn an NCAA bid at the
Western Regional meet.
“We’ll be very lucky to make the
NCAA meet,” Heinonen said. “But
it's still possible since 31 teams
qualify, and we did beat a few
teams that might help us later on.”
