Crabb earns All-American honors in last race
■ Crabb and Boness both
finish ninth at the NCAA
Indoor Track and Field
Championships.

Oregon Daily Emerald
It was a bittersweet ending to a
storied track and field career.
Senior Katie Crabb, who ended her
career at Oregon at the NCAA Indoor
Championships Saturday in
Fayettville, Ark., was in position to
run a personal best, score points and
walk away from the oval satisfied.
A mid-race collision put an end
to all of that.
“Coming in I was excited to have
one last opportunity, but it didn’t
unfold like I would have hoped,”
Crabb said. “But that’s the way
things go sometimes, and you can’t
always prevent collisions.”
Crabb was positioned in fifth
place in the women’s mile, when
halfway through the race she collid
ed with two runners, causing her to
roll her ankle. The redshirt-senior
maintained pace until the final 200
meter lap, when the pain became
too much for Crabb.
The Chico, Calif., native placed
ninth in a time of four minutes, 46
seconds, good enough for All
American honors.
“I’m really proud of Katie,”
women’s track and field coach Tom
Heinonen said. “I thought she raced
really well in the championship set
ting. Overall, she’s had a great time
at Oregon and we’ll just never know
what she could have been able to do
[Saturday] because she didn’t have
a fair run.”
“The race got off to a good start,”
Crabb said. “And then when it
slowed, I remained patient, thinking I
could make a move in the second
half. Just before that was going to hap
pen, I rolled [the ankle]. I tried to hang
on and not think about it, but it just
wasn’t there at the end. ”
Arkansas’ Tracy Robertson won
the race in a time of 4:39.
Redshirt sophomore Jason
Boness had a more successful out
ing in Fayetville. The transfer from
Northern Iowa placed ninth in the
men’s high jump with a leap of six
feet, 11-and-three-quarter inches.
Boness’ height tied him for sev
enth place with Adrian Shears of
Norfolk State and Michael Ponikvar
of Stanford, but was awarded ninth
due to more misses. Boness earned
his fourth All-American honors, his
second as a Duck.
Weber State’s Charles Clinger won
the competition with a leap of 7-5.

Lindsey Dion said Sunday. “I thought
we had blown the opportunity to go
to the NCAA Tournament, and the
decision was out of our hands. But
J.ow and behold, we got in.”
Dion said there was no formal
team gathering, but that the Ducks
did play “phone tag” after the an
nouncement.
If the Ducks advance from the
first round, they will face the win
ner of the Utah-Fairfield contest.
Oregon lost to Utah, 63-48, in the
preseason.
The two-time defending Pac-10
champion Ducks were plagued by
injuries and illness throughout the
season, which at one point included
a five-game losing streak. But Satur
day’s victory capped off a four-game
winning streak ending the season
on a higher note.
The Ducks finished the season
fourth in the conference standings.
“I feel like we’re playing really
good basketball right now,” junior
guard Jamie Craighead said after
Saturday’s game. “There is no pres
sure on us.”
A week ago, the Civil War prepa
ration was overshadowed by a team
meeting with Oregon Athletic Di
rector Bill Moos.
Eight Oregon players met with
Moos March 4 to discuss the team’s
relationship with Runge and to ask
that the eight-year coach be fired after
the season. Moos and Runge have yet
to discuss the issue and will not meet
until the conclusion of the season.
“It’s been a surreal experience this
week,” Runge said after Saturday’s
game. “It’s not easy. My major con
cern is to make sure that they had a
chance to go to the tournament.”
Leading up to the Civil War con
test, Runge forbade the team from
speaking with the media.
“This week was very emotional,
and coach finally said that we needed
to focus on the game,” Craighead
said. “And I think we’ve done a good
job of not focusing on [the meeting].”
Three other Pac-10 teams — co
conference champions Stanford,
Washington and Arizona State —
earned automatic bids to the NCAA
Tournament. Stanford is the 10th
seed and Washington is sixth in the
West Regional, while the slumping
Sun Devils are the 11th seed in the
Mideast.
