favored to take first at the
Texas Relays Decathlon

They are the most well
rounded athletes on the Ore
gon men’s track and field
team, and they represent the
overall strength of the team.
They are the decathletes.
Today through Thursday,
two of Oregon’s multi-event
corps will compete with some
of the top de
cathletes in
the nation at
the Texas Re
lays De
cathlon in
Austin,
Texas. Ju
niors Santiago Lorenzo and
Billy Pappas will precede the
rest of their
team at the
prestigious
event,
which con
tinues with
the track
and field
portions
over the
weekend.
Lorenzo leads the Ducks
into action. The Buenos Aires,
Argentina native placed fifth
at last year’s NCAA Champi
onships and is a two-time Pa
cific-10 Conference runner
up. Lorenzo owns a career
best 7,649 points and ranks
fourth nationally, although he
has not competed in the de
cathlon this season.
Lorenzo is the favorite to
win the Texas decathlon, be
ing the highest placing NCAA
participant. Brigham Young’s
Curtis Pugsley, who finished
immediately behind Lorenzo
at the NCAA meet a year ago,
is also a contender. Texas
A&M’s Aaron Smith is seeded
third.
Pappas was an NCAA pro
visional qualifier last season
but was three places out of a
nationals berth. Pappas’ 7,184
point effort at last seasons
Pac-10 Championships earned
him fourth place behind
Lorenzo and NCAA Champi
on Bevan Hart of California.
The decathlon begins today
at 12 p.m. with the 100 me
ters, long jump, shot put and
400 meters. Concluding the
multi-event portion on Thurs
day will be the 110 high hur
dles, 1,500 meters, discus,
javelin and pole vault.
The rest of the Oregon
men’s track and field team
will travel to Texas to com
pete on Friday and Saturday.
Ducks lose two players
■ Kenny brew and White step
down, leaving the football team
with four fullbacks this spring
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
In only the first week of spring
practice the Oregon football team re
ceived some-bad news Tuesday: full
back Adam Kennybrew’s career is fin
ished.
Despite having two more years of
eligibility remaining, Kennybrew lis
tened to doctor’s orders and stepped
out due to a foot injury, according to
head coach Mike Bellotti.
The soon-to-be junior from Beverly
Hills, Calif., has a broken navicular
bone in his right foot that is presumed
to have been broken even before he
arrived in Eugene in the fall of 1998.
Kennybrew never had a chance to
fully blossom as a Duck, but showed
plenty of promise as a special teams
player and a backup fullback to Josh
Line. On special teams, the 6-0, 231
pounder had totaled 10 tackles in 21
games, while on offense he had
rushed for 14
yards on five car
ries, including a
touchdown.
The former high
school quarter
back’s lone colle
giate score came
in the fourth quar
ter of Oregon’s
season-opening
36-7 victory over
Nevada on Sept. 2 at Autzen Stadi
um.
The team physicians believe that
his broken foot will never be 100 per
cent. There is a bright side for Kenny
brew though. Because he is leaving
the football program for a medical
reason, the education major will con
tinue to receive athletic financial aid
until his graduation.
Also on Tuesday, Bellotti an
nounced that freshman defensive
end/tight end Dee White has left the
Ducks due to personal reasons.
White, who hails from Thornton,
Colo., was a redshirt last fall.
