Boness and Santiago Lorenzo.
Lorenzo has already won the
Pac-10 decathlon title and is
ranked fourth nationally. The
Buenos Aires, Argentina, native
placed fifth at last year’s NCAA
Championships and looks to im
prove on that mark this year at
the NCAAs at Hayward.
“I’m really happy,” Lorenzo
said of his decathlon win. “It was
something I had to win because I
was number one in the Pac-10. I
think my conditioning level is go
ing up day by day, so I think I’m
going to be ready to rock at na
tionals at home.”
Lorenzo will compete in the
long jump, 400 hurdles and re
lays Saturday.
Boness is the defending Pac-10
champion in the high jump, al
though he is seeded third this year.
“I’m looking to jump 7-2 and
then go for the win,” Boness said.
“It’s all about the win. I’m not too
worried. The conference meet is
something else. When you walk
out on the high jump apron, it’s a
whole new ballgame.”
2. Oregon’s junior college
transfers are two of the best re
cruits in the nation.
It took Micah Harris only six
competitions to match the school
record in the 110 hurdles. The
transfer from Central Arizona JC
hopes to break the school record
of 13.79 this weekend.
“I’m looking forward to the
competition,” Harris said. “It’s all
about the competition. That’s
what makes me run fast. I defi
nitely want to get a fast time
down there.”
Junior 800-meter runner Simon
Kimata is one of Oregon’s biggest
surprises, especially considering
he is recovering from a stress
fracture. The Kenya native has
improved by an average of two

release on Geffen Records.

seconds at each competition of
the season, which began for Ki
mata in a boot cast. Kimata now
has the third-best mark in the
Pac-10 and ranks eighth on the
school’s all-time list.
“At the beginning of the sea
son, I was still concerned with
my Achilles,” Kimata said. “I was
not able to push myself all of the
way. But I have been improving.
At my first meet, the goal was to
break two minutes. Then it was
to break 1 minute, 57 seconds,
1:55 and 1:53.1 did it.”
Both are NCAA provisional
qualifiers who are in good posi
tion to automatically qualify.
3. John Stiegeler is the most
improved track athlete at Ore
gon, and possibly in the nation.
In one year, redshirt sopho
more John Stiegeler went from a
Pac-10 non-factor to the nation’s
top javelin thrower. In only three
competitions spanning nine
months, Stiegeler improved his
personal best by nine feet, 13 feet
and six feet.
The Coos Bay native is now the
favorite to win the NCAA javelin
title with a personal best 245-9.
That mark puts Stiegeler second
on the school’s all-time list.
4. Oregon has the top freshmen
in the nation in two events.
Redshirt freshman Jason Hart
mann posted an NCAA automat
ic qualifying mark in the 10,000
meters with a time of 28 minutes,
56 seconds at his second per
formance of the season and now
ranks eighth nationally and third
in the Pac-10.
The two-time All-American in
cross country will run the 5,000
and 10,000 meters this weekend
and is a contender in both races.
True freshman Trevor Woods is
an NCAA provisional qualifier in
the pole vault, although he will
need a better mark to ensure a na
tionals bid. Woods has posted the
best vault by a Duck freshman
(17-4 1/2) since All-American Pi
otr Buckiarski in 1996. The Coos
Bay native is tied for the fourth
best mark in the conference.
5. Strength and speed on the
football field equals strength and
speed on the oval.
Now that spring football drills
are over, sophomore wide receiv
er Sarnie Parker can focus on the
100 meters for the track team.
The team’s top sprinter has a
wind-aided personal best of 10.59
seconds, the 13th best in the con
ference. Parker has improved
greatly since joining the team
mid-season.
Another football player expect
ed to be a factor at the Pac-10
meet is junior John Bello. The
former lineman is seeded sixth in
both the shot put and discus with
personal bests of 59-9 3/4 and
180-1, respectively. Bello is an
NCAA provisional qualifier in
the shot put.
6. Hard work by Oregon’s role
players is paying off.
They have gone an entire sea
son without winning a meet or
seeing their names on the NCAA
qualifying list, but come confer
ence championships time, these
athletes will have an impact.
Sophomore Foluso Akinrade
wo is seeded fourth in the triple
jump with his personal best mark
of 50-6. The Fresno, Calif., native
snuck onto the school record
books this spring despite a ham
string injury.
Sophomore Adam Kriz is an
other unexpected scorer. The
Toledo native has the fifth-best
conference mark in the hammer
throw and has steadily improved
all season long.
7. Oregon’s veterans are knock
ing on the Pac-10 scoring door.
Although they are not expected
to score, a handful of Duck veter
ans could cause some commotion
in some key events.
Redshirt junior Cody Howell is
seeded eighth in the pole vault,
but with a personal best he could
find himself among the leaders.
Junior Ross Krempley has yet
to break the 1:50 barrier in the
800 this season, but if he does, he
could easily be a Pac-10 finalist.
Senior Rian Ingrim is having his
best season at Oregon following a
rough three years. It could get even
better if he improves on his seed
ing of ninth place in the shot put.
Junior Tim Overfield is a con
tender in the 400 hurdles follow
ing a breakthrough season as well.
Competition begins Saturday at
10 a.m. with half of all field
events and running event prelim
inaries and concludes Sunday
with running event finals and the
other half of the field events.
Expect a tight race between
UCLA, Stanford and Southern
California for the team title.
Sports brief
San Diego pours on 15 runs
to beat the Mets
NEW YORK — Bobby Valentine
was pleased with one thing — his
shortstop pitched well.
“Things could have been worse
if Desi Relaford didn’t have his
good stuff,” the Mets manager said
Thursday night after the San Diego
Padres pounded New York 15-3.
Relaford pitched a perfect ninth
after the Padres raked five pitch
ers for 17 hits in the first eight in
nings — including a four-homer
outburst that keyed a seven-run
third inning.
Former Mets Rickey Henderson
and Bubba Trammell hit two of
the four homers in that inning,
Trammel applying the crusher
with a three-run shot off Steve
Trachsel (1-6).
“I was just thinking I wanted to
see the ball well and hit it hard
someplace,” said Trammell, who
later added an RBI double.
“I just got the good part of the
bat on it,” Henderson said after
his second homer in two nights. “I
think he was just trying to get it
over the plate.”
Valentine was much less charita
ble about his pitcher.
“You can’t pitch like that, that’s
for sure,” the manager said. “He
had a plan, he agreed to the plan
like we talked about in here and
he just didn’t execute. If he had
made the pitches he was sup
posed to to Bubba, I thought he
had a pretty good chance of get
ting out of the inning.”
Alex Arias and Ryan Klesko also
homered in the inning off Trachsel,
who became the first Mets pitcher
ever and the 19th in major league
history to allow four homers in an
inning.
New York (15-25) has lost eight
of nine games, dropping 10 games
under .500 for the first time since
finishing the 1996 season 71-91.
While working the ninth, Re
laford mixed a 91-mph fastball
with offspeed pitches to strike out
reliever Jose Nunez and get Tram
mell and Adam Riggs to fly out. It
was Relaford’s first career pitching
appearance.
Woody Williams (4-3) allowed
two runs and six hits in seven in
nings to win his third straight deci
sion. He was also 2 for 4 with a run
scored and an RBI.
