Duck heptathletes gather
first points in Pac-10 meet
■ Jenny Kenyon and Ann
Sullivan place fifth and sixth,
respectively, at the Pac-10
heptathlon
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
Jenny Kenyon took a slight step
down from her personal best,
Ann Sullivan took a slight step
up, and the end result was that
the Oregon athletes finished fifth
and sixth, respectively, at the Pa
cific-10 Conference Heptathlon
Championships Sunday.
The heptathlon, a seven-event
meet over two days, marked the
first chance for the Pac-10
schools to score marks in the con
ference meet, being held in
Berkeley, Calif. The Ducks now
have seven points in the meet,
the second-most of any team. The
rest of the Oregon athletes will
take the trip to California for the
expanded meet next weekend.
Kenyon struggled slightly over
the weekend due to a tender
knee, but scored 4,911 points to
finish fifth in the nine-athlete
field. The performance wasn’t as
strong as her fourth-place show
ing in Eugene last year, but bet
tered her per
formance in
1999 by 500
points.
Kenyon’s
weakest events
over the week
end were the
100 hurdles,
high jump and
long jump. Be
KENYON fore the meet,
Kenyon had
pointed to the shot put and 200
meter race as her strengths, and
she finished fifth and second in
those events.
For Sullivan, the high points
came in the 100 hurdles, 200 and
long jump. Sullivan, primarily a
runner, finished last in the high
jump and second-to-last in the
800. The freshman said she knew
she would have trouble in those
events heading into the weekend.
However, her 4,874 points were
enough for a season and personal
best.
Washington State’s Ellannee
Richardson and Whitney Evans
finished first and second at the
heptathlon, respectively, giving
the Cougars 18 points and an ear
ly lead in the conference meet.
Richardson scored 5,578 points,
an NCAA automatic mark, and
Evans scored a provisional mark
of 5,546 points.
Julie Tinker of Stanford fin
ished in third-place with an
NCAA provisional mark. Stan
ford’s Lillian Bush finished
eighth, giving the Cardinal seven
points in the meet.
Sullivan will return to Berkeley
next weekend for the regular Pac
10 meet. She qualified for the
Pac-lOs in the 100 hurdles and
the 400 hurdles.

You don’t have to worry about
what might have been.
“I’m glad it wasn’t a strikeout.”
Custer finished l-for-2 with a
single in her last game in an Ore
gon uniform. The Ducks, on the
other hand, finished a season to
remember — for all the wrong
reasons.
A 6-0 loss in Game 1 of the
doubleheader and a 5-1 defeat in
the afternoon game wrapped up a
controversial and disappointing
year that saw Oregon finish 1-20
in the Pacific-10 Conference (28
40 overall), the worst season in
Gamez’s five years as the head
coach.
Gamez had led the Ducks to
three straight NCAA Tournament
appearances.
He said he expected the team to
play more competitively against
Stanford after the Ducks nearly
upset No. 6 California on Friday
in a 7-4 loss.
“I thought that after yesterday’s
performance that we would come
out today and play a little harder
and be more aggressive,” Gamez
said.
Sophomore pitcher Lisa Wan
gler gave up five earned runs and
eight hits to take the loss in the
first game. Offensively, the Ducks
managed just two hits in five in
nings off Stanford starter Dana
Sorensen, one of the top pitchers
in the nation with a 0.41 ERA
heading into the weekend.
Sorensen picked up the win to
improve to 22-3 on the season,
while Stanford improved to 47
13-1 overall and 10-10 in the con
ference.
“Obviously there’s a reason
Stanford’s ranked No. 4 in the
country,” Gamez said.
“[Sorensen] is just a great pitch
er.”
Freshman Anissa Meashintub
by (4-3) pitched a complete game
in the second contest, allowing
nine hits and four earned runs to
take the loss.
“I thought Anissa did a great
job today; she threw the ball ex
tremely well,” Gamez said. “I was
just really happy for her, and
that’s just typical with the type of
kid she is and how hard she has
worked all year long.”
Wangler singled in the fifth in
ning to score junior Alicia Mick
es, who started off the inning
with a base-knock. It was the only
run the Ducks had on the day and
the only run they scored off Stan
ford in three games this season.
Against Cal Friday, sophomore
second baseman Alyssa Laux hit
her first home run of the season
in the bottom of the first to put
the Ducks ahead 2-1. Sparked by
a two-out solo homer by Paige
Bowie, the Bears scored three
runs on one error in the fifth to
take a 4-2 lead.
The Ducks rallied behind soph
omore Andrea Vidlund’s 11th
home run of the season, a solo
shot in the sixth. With Custer on
third, Kristi Hall hit a sacrifice fly
to center to tie to the game at 4.

Wangler nabs MVP honors
Wangler, a sophomore transfer
from Mesa (Ariz.) Community
College, was named the team
MVP at the annual softball
awards banquet Sunday. She was
also awarded with the Rookie of
the Year honor.
Meashintubby, a Monroe na
tive who led the team with a 3.75
ERA, earned the Most Inspira
tional award.
In the leadoff spot, Wangler set
a school record with 87 hits
while leading the team with a
.367 batting average. Additional
ly, Wangler scored 37 runs and
led the team with 16 stolen bases
and 93 total bases. She finished
the season 5-11 in the circle, in
cluding four shutouts.
Pac-10

cus, coupled with wins by Stan
ford’s Jason Goff, kept the race
tight between the two.
That left Lorenzo needing a sol
id performance in the final event
— the 1,500 meters.
“I needed to stay within 35
seconds of [Goff],” Lorenzo said.
“So that was not going to be a
problem.”
Although Goff won the 1,500,
Lorenzo ran close, finishing
fourth in 4:36. Lorenzo posted his
second NCAA automatic qualify
ing mark of the, season and now
has the fourth best mark national
ly. Lorenzo finished fifth at last
years’ NCAA Championships.
Oregon junior Billy Pappas also
( i Everything just felt
right
Santiago Lorenzo
decathlon champion jT
had a strong weekend in Berke
ley, placing third despite some
nagging hip injuries. Pappas
scored 7,428 points to provision
ally qualify for nationals.
Pappas won the long jump and
shot put on Saturday and added
second-place finishes in the 110
hurdles and pole vault on Sun
day for a 300-point personal best.
Pappas’ most impressive mark
came from the 1,500 meters
where he ran a blazing 15-second
personal best in 4:35.
Duck sophomore Jason Slye
just missed the scoring column
with a ninth-place finish. Slye
was only 46 points off his person
al best and 65 points out of
eighth-place. The Keizer native
won the pole vault in 15-11.
Oregon enters next week’s Pac
10 regular event competition as
the conference leader with 16
points courtesy of Lorenzo and
Pappas.
