Malone
continued from page 3B
competition this week. Weingarten
was the last athlete to make the
competition, and she is ranked 21st
in the nation heading in.
Weingarten and Malone have an
unusual warm-up routine. Three
or four days before meets, they
play football.
“It breaks down my arm mus
cles,” Malone said. “So they can
build back up for the meet.”
After she threw that record toss
at the Oregon Twilight, and after
all the fans had left the stadium,
there was Malone, connecting
with another thrower like she
was Oregon quarterback Joey Har
rington throwing a dart to Mar
shaun Tucker in the Autzen Sta
dium end zone.
One can only wonder what
Katy Polansky would have thought
of that scene.
Lorenzo
continued from page 5B
letes really show up. It’s a very fast
first day because there’s the 100,
long jump and shot put. There’s
much more technique involved on
the second day.”
Noon -110 hurdles
“Everything can go wrong in the
hurdles,” Lorenzo said. “When I
run the hurdles outside of the de
cathlon, it’s totally different. In the
decathlon it’s a lot more intense. If
you miss a hurdle and fall or some
thing, you’ll lose so many points, so
you have to be much more careful.
Outside you have nothing to lose.
Inside you have to do as best as you
can but be safe.”
Lorenzo has run the 110 hurdles
in 14.9 seconds for 857 points. The
college high hurdles are 45 inches
tall, which comes to the top of
Lorenzo’s hip.
1:15 p.m. -Discus
“Its a lot more of a skill event,”
Lorenzo said. “It takes thousands of
throws in practice to get the release
down. Every mistake you make is
your hips, shoulder, wrist magnified
to the nth power. Just a little mistake
and the disc wobbles and falls.”
Lorenzo’s personal best discus
throw is 137-8, which would give
him 712 points.
2:30 p.m.- Pole Vault
“The pole vault is a very scary
event,” Lorenzo said. “Especially
because it’s one of the last events.
You could be having an awesome
decathlon and then you no-height
in the vault and it’s all out the win
dow. The first bar is the most in
tense because you always want to
make it on your first attempt. If you
miss your first attempt, you get a lit
tle bit more nervous, and if you
miss the second attempt it puts all
of the pressure on the third.”
Lorenzo has leapt 16-1 in the
pole vault for 880 points.
“Once I get done with the discus,
it’s time for me to catch up,” Loren
zo said. “The last three events are the
ones I’m pretty strong in. I know that
most of the good decathletes are way
better than me on the first day. What
I try to do is stay as close as possible
to them on the first day and then
come back on the second.”
5:00 p.m.- Javelin
“The javelin is funny because
once I clear a bar in the pole vault, I
know how I am going to finish,”
Lorenzo said. “Because it is so close
to the end and I am so consistent in
the javelin and 1,500,1 am always
relieved by then.”
Lorenzo has tossed the javelin
202-5, good enough for 733 points.
“I did the javelin in high school,
so I know the techniques better
than in some of the other events,”
he said.
6:30 p.m. -1,500 meters
“The 1,500 meters in the de
cathlon is nothing like the open
1,500,” Lorenzo said. “It has differ
ent strategies. It depends on how
you are doing, how you feel, your
closest competitor. One of the fac
tors that play into it the most is
your heart and your head.”
Lorenzo’s personal best in the 3
3/4 lap race is 4:30 for 744 points.
“After nine events and two days
of competition, you’re beat up,”
Lorenzo said. “It’s extremely ex
hausting — physically and mental
ly. Now it’s time to put your heart
into it and just run as fast as you
can.”
Lorenzo’s personal best in the de
cathlon is 7,726 points, which
ranks him fourth nationally and
sixth on the Oregon all-time list.
Lorenzo won the Pacific-10 Confer
ence championship May 13 and the
Texas Relays Decathlon April 5.
The decathlon gets under way to
day at 1 p.m.
