holds any Oregon track records. In
his only Olympic appearance in
Munich in 1972, he lost the
Olympic 5,000 during the last 600
meters.
Still, Pre’s legend lives on out
side the pages of the record books.
There have been two movies, a
book, the two memorial races and a
running path dedicated to his
memory.
Jordan said Pre’s impact goes
well beyond the memories etched
in film or print.
“He can live forever in the minds
of young people,” Jordan said. “The
nature of his personality appeals to
them, and his attitude of never giv
ing up applies to them.”
Oregon freshman javelin standout
Sarah Malone said she, too, feels the
legend of Prefontaine every time she
steps onto Hayward Field.
“It makes you feel like you’re
part of something special, knowing
that he raced here,” Malone said.
“It’s almost like a spiritual connec
tion.”
And his death was the most leg
endary thing of all. Considered
one of the great tragedies in Ore
gon sports history, Prefontaine
was killed in a car wreck in the
early hours of May 30, 1975. He
had been out at a party after win
ning a race at Hayward Field ear
lier that day, and police reports in
dicated his system contained
alcohol.
Today, there remains a memorial
at the site of the crash, with an in
scribed message and a plaque.
Today, Steve Prefontaine still
touches those associated with Ore
gon track and field in indescribable
ways.
And today, Pre’s popularity ap
pears to be gaining speed, with no
apparent finish line in sight.
Tae Kwon Do

arts experience.
“I did karate for about three
weeks when I was eight,” Wallace
said. “But I came here and I real
ized I could do it pretty easily. It
came naturally.”
Despite entering just one compe
tition — at which he was disquali
fied for a bloody nose — Wallace
placed first in the heavyweight di
vision of his belt group at a Port
land State University tournament
last month, qualifying him for the
U.S. National Tae Kwon Do Cham
pionships, a precursor to the
Olympic Trials.
“I really didn’t have any notions of
winning [to advance to the nation
als],” Wallace said. “I was the light
est guy in the heavyweight division.”
But being too light won’t be a
problem for Wallace in Cleveland.
In fact, he will likely be one of the
heaviest competitors in his division
at the national championships,
which structures its weight classes
a little differently.
I am just blown away
that I get to go to the na
tional championships. It's
going to be a lot of fun.
Andy Wallace
freshman,
Tae Kwon Do
n
Wallace said the maximum
weight for his group is 177 pounds,
putting him at the upper reach of
that division.
“That should be a pretty good ad
vantage for me,” he said.
Wallace is traveling to Cleveland
with the state’s club team, which is
ranked 10th in the country.
“I’m kind of going on my own,
with a group that I don’t really
know,” Wallace said. “But that
might make it easier to get into that
fighting mentality.”
Nobody is putting any pressure
on the freshman this weekend,
though.
“At his skill level, there is a
strong possibility of placing,” King
said. “But I have no expectations
for him.”
“We’re hoping he learns some
thing from this experience,” team
coordinator and black belt Steve
Mah said. “Then when he comes
back, he can share what he’s
learned with everyone else.”
While Tae Kwon Do recently be
came an Olympic sport, Wallace
said he has not made it a priority to
reach international fame, only to
have fun.
He said he will stick with the
sport and try to earn his black belt,
which usually takes about three
years.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 23). You have
energy, brains and luck. Add structure and dis
cipline, and get a good coach. You arc Olympic
material, but will you win? Can you play by the
rales? Can you push yourself hard? Can you do
what you’re told? If so, yes. Go for the gold!
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 9
— Others will be amazed by your sparkling
wit, lighming-fast reflexes and dazzling smile.
No need to go chasing all over town after what
you want. Just say the word, and it will come to
you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5
— Conditions are excellent for reviewing your
budget and finding a way to put more into sav
ings. If you're worrying about making ends
meet, relax. You can do that, too. It's all a ques
tion of how much research you want to put into
this project.
GEMINI (May 21 -J une 21)—Today is a 9—
You have superhuman powers now. Your influ
ence is far greater than before, and greater than
you probably realize. If you could be king or
queen of the world for a day or two, what
would you do? Just don't spend all day think
ing about it
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 4
— It1 s your turn to carry the weight of the work!
on your shoulders. It would sure be easier if it
would just hold still. You've got so many wig
gly thoughts in your mind, there's hardly room
for you. Relax. It will get easier tomorrow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 —
Your team takes your full attention. It's a chal
lenge, but it's also a lot of fun. They look to you
for direction, then argue. A combination of
strict rales and good reasons will keep them in
line. Be sure to keep them focused on the goal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—Today is a 5 —
There's a gathering of generals nearby. Your
best bet is to keep a low profile. Provide what
ever is needed before it's requested, and other
wise stay invisible. It shouldn't be difficult.
They're so busy arguing with each other, they
won't notice much else.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22)—Today is a 10 —
Adding your unique talents to the conditions al
ready in effect leads to the winning combina
tion. You can see clearly when others are con
fused. You can manage the conversation and
make sure the results are produced. You look
marvelous! Accept the well-deserved compli
ments
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 3
— Take it slow and easy. Put a stop to the
spending until you figure out how much you've
got left. Don't authorize new expenditures for
toys, and don't let anybody go shopping with
your credit cards — not even you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—Today
is an 8 — There's a bit of a tug-of-war today,
but either way you win. Your partner wants to
take full control of the situation. You want to
make sure your interests are protected. The fi
nal outcome is in your favor. You reach it by
empowering your partner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
a4—You have more than your fair share of the
work. Complaining won't do much good, but
delegating might. Some chores you'll have to
do yourself, but friends can help with others.
Give away as much as you can now, and more
tomorrow. Hire people to get it done. You can
afford it
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 9
—You may have to call in and ask for a person
al day. You're in much too good a mood to
work. Are you on your honeymoon, or just
planning one? Doesn't look like you get far
from home. You have a short visit with friends,
and then you're back to the one you love best.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5
—Do you have a lot of relatives staying at your
house, or did you just have quintuplets? There's
so much going on there, you may have to wear
earplugs justlo hear yourself think.
