Coaches’ polls kind to UO men. snub women
■The Oregon cross country
teams are headed in opposite
directions in the ever
important national polls
By Robbie McCallum
Oregon Daily Emerald
An impressive performance at
the Pre-NCAA meet at Iowa State
Saturday has helped gain recogni
tion for the Oregon men’s cross
country team.
After placing eighth out of 53
teams in Ames, Iowa, the Ducks
rose five places in the national
polls to the No. 13 spot.
Martin Smith’s squad beat out
seven of the 14 ranked teams en
tered in the Pre-NCAA meet. Col
orado earned the top nod in the
poll after winning in Iowa. Pacific
10 Conference rival Stanford fell to
No. 3 after placing second.
The Oregon
women fell
completely
out of the
polls after a
disappointing
performance
in Iowa. The
Ducks were
ranked No.
22, but after
finishing 21st out of 56 teams, they
received only one vote in the na
tional coaches’ poll.
Defending national champion
Brigham Young remained the top
women’s team.
PR watch
The only Oregon runner to come
close to his or her personal best
last Saturday at the Pre-NCAA
meet was senior Michael Kasahun.
The transfer from Fresno City Col
lege equaled his 10,000-meter per
sonal best with a time of 31 min
utes, 41 seconds.
Considering that the Iowa State
course is hilly and not known for
personal records, Kasahun’s run is
much more impressive.
Kasahun is having a breakthrough
year in his second season with the
Ducks. The Kenyan was Oregon’s
top finisher at the Roy Griak Invita
tional Sept. 23 and was second on
the team to sophomore Jason Hart
mann at the Pre-NCAA meet.
Looking ahead
The Oregon cross country teams
will have another two-week break
between meets. Coming up for
Oregon are the Pacific-10 Confer
ence Championships in Seattle
Oct. 28.
Although the meet will decide
the conference champions, it has
little effect on which teams qualify
for the NCAA meet Nov. 20. What
the meet will affect are the nation
al coaches’ polls, which have a
major impact on which teams re
ceive at-large bids for the tourna
ment.
The meet that will decide the
Ducks’ NCAA fate is the NCAA
Western Regional meet Nov. 11 in
Fresno, Calif.
Western region update
Although the Oregon men’s
cross country team rose in the na
tional polls to No. 13, it remained
third among teams in the West re
gion. The Ducks must place in the
top-two at the regional meet to au
tomatically qualify for the NCAA
meet. Their No. 13 ranking does
put the Ducks in good position for
an at-large bid.
Oregon trails Stanford and Ari
zona in the rankings.
The women are in a tougher
spot. Head coach Tom Heinonen’s
team trails West region rivals Stan
ford, Arizona State, Washington
and Arizona in the coaches’ polls.
