Despite a respectable fourth
place finish at the Western Regional
meet Saturday, the Ducks were
snubbed by the selection commit
tee and denied a berth at the nation
al meet.
The snub breaks a long chain of
NCAA berths in which Oregon
teams qualified for 29 of the last 32
NCAA meets.
Head coach Martin Smith will
send two individuals to the nation
al meet — sophomore Jason Hart
mann and senior Michael
Kasahun, who placed second and
fourth at the regional meet, respec
tively.
Qualifying standards for the na
tional meet take into account a
team’s national ranking, its record
against other top-25 teams and its
placing at the conference and re
gional meets.
Although Oregon was ranked
10th in the nation, it trailed Cal
Poly-San Luis Obispo at the region
al meet by eight points. Cal Poly
beat only one NCAA qualifying
team in the regular season and also
failed to qualify for the NCAAs.
Instead, the rest of the Oregon
team will stay at home wihile 12
other teams that Oregon Soundly
defeated in the regular season will
run at nationals.
In the polls
As startling as the men’s team
snub by the national committee
was, the women’s acceptance in the
national meet was just as surpris
ing.
The Oregon women’s team was
among the fourth group of teams
accepted into the NCAAs. After
mediocre performances all season,
the Ducks broke out of their slump
at the regional meet, placing fourth
overall and beating otit two other
ranked teams.
“At nationals, we know we can
be a top-20 team, but it won’t be
easy,” head coach Tom Heinonen
said. “If we race like we’re capable
of, we can beat a lot of teams/’
The Ducks climbed back into the
top-25 polls this week at No. 22, the
final poll of the season.
Basketball
continued from page 7
throughout the second half, and
were able to stay always one step
ahead of Oregon.
AIA made 11 of 14 free throws
down the stretch, including seven
of their last eight, to stave off the
Ducks, 84-80.
The Ducks’ reactions to the loss
were mixed.
“We should have beat those
guys,” Ridnour said. “Mentally, we
didn’t get it done.”
Kent compared Tuesday’s exhi
bition to Oregon’s first match with
the Basketball Travelers last Mon
day.
“The Basketball Travelers didn’t
force you to think defensively, you
could play them straight up,” Kent
said. “Tonight we faced a smart
team.”
Bracey was actually “glad” the
Ducks lost.
This was a test for us, as far as
our chemistry, to see if we can
bounce back,” Bracey said.
Oregon will try to do just that
against Mississippi Valley State
Friday in their regular-season
opener at Mac Court.
