Men’s ultimate
heads to Boston
■The Club Sports ultimate
frisbee team is a third seed in
the national tournament
By Jesse Thomas
for the Emerald
It has begun. The final step of
their long journey is upon them as
the athletes of the Oregon Club
Sports men’s ultimate team begin
pool play today.
The Ducks traveled to Boston
Wednesday to prepare for the Ulti
mate Players Association College
Nationals Tournament. The Ducks
enter as the third seed among 16
teams, their highest ranking in re
cent memory.
Santa Barbara and Colorado are
the only two teams seeded above
the Ducks entering today’s compe
tition. To start off, the Ducks face
Cornell, Duke and Ohio today.
“We are going to have to play
with a lot of fire,” coordinator
Joshua Greenough said. “The core
of our game is our big plays.”
Previously, the Oregon men split
the two games against Cornell and
lost once to Duke when shorthand
ed. The Ducks have yet to compete
against Ohio.
The team has been preparing for
the tournament all week by eating
healthy, sleeping more, having ear
ly practices and waking up earlier
because of the three-hour time dif
ference. Senior Christian Martin
said if the team can start out intense
r
— something the Ducks have strug
gled with in the past — and have
fewer turnovers, it will be hard to
beat.
“We definitely want to win, and
it is a very good possibility,” Martin
said.
After knocking off Stanford, last
year’s No. 3 seed, in the regional
tournament, the Ducks have earned
their place with the best of the best.
After a hard-fought season, Oregon
hopes things will end with a win
and a trophy.
“It is about having fun and end
ing on a good note,” Greenough
said.
Cycling will go the distance
For a few members of the Oregon
club cycling team, it’s the Ecology
Center Classic this weekend, and it
sure is a long one.
Two competitors will compete in
the street sprints Saturday evening,
followed by a 10-mile time trial
Sunday. On Monday, sophomore
Zach Winter will race 80 miles on
the road, and Dave Johnson faces a
105-mile road race.
“I am going to pound it,” Winter
said.
“I don’t know what the competi
tion is like,” Johnson said. “But I
would like top five or ten.”
The races this weekend are a part
of the Lance Armstrong Champi
onship Series, and both racers will
be pushing hard, being in the peak
of the season.
