Kasahun, Harris outmatched in NCAA races
■The Oregon men’s
contingent closes out its
action with the efforts
of Harris and Kasahun
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Both used the phrase, “a great
learning experience.”
Both spoke of great admiration for
the athletes they competed with.
And both talked of the thrill they
experienced from competing before
the faithful Hayward Field crowd.
But both Micah Harris and
Michael Kasahun of the Oregon
men’s track and field team also ex
pressed disappointment in the way
they performed at the NCAA Track
and Field Championships Friday.
Harris and Kasahun closed out
the Ducks’ season when they failed
to score any points in their events.
Oregon still ended the NCAAs with
27 points overall and finished in
ninth-place as a team.
Harris came in sixth-place in the
semifinals of the men’s 110-meter
hurdles with a time of 13.99 sec
onds. It wasn’t fast enough to ad
vance him on to Saturday’s finals.
“I had a lot of fun, and I gave it every
thing I had,” Harris said. “But I felt bad
about not getting into the finals.”
The junior transfer from Tempe,
Ariz., reached the semifinals after a
school- and personal-record time of
13.73 in the preliminaries Thursday.
“To get the school record, that
was one of the goals,” Harris said.
“Now I’ll come back next year and
give it my all.”
Kasahun, on the other hand,
won’t have such an opportunity.
The senior closed out his collegiate
career with a 16th-place finish in
the final of the men’s 5,000 meters.
Kasahun began the race with some
good steam, but as the laps pro
gressed, he ended up dropping like a
brick down to the back of the pack.
His time of 14:25.69 was nowhere
near his personal record of 13:56.04.
“I’d like to have finished higher,
and was hoping for a top-10 finish,”
said Kasahun, who was seeded 17th
on the pre-meet list. “When you are
in the championship level, it’s more
of a tactical race. This is my first time
at this level and people had more ex
perience than I had.”
When the race came down to the
final few laps, many of the runners
went for their “kick,” or a sprint to
the finish. Kasahun said he tried,
but found the tank to be empty.
“There was nothing left at all for
those last two-and-a-half laps,” he
said. “I pushed it a little bit too ear
ly and that caught up at the end.”
The race capped a solid two-year
Oregon career for Kasahun, who
transferred to Oregon from Fresno
City College. While at Oregon, he
has lowered his personal bests in
the 5,000 (from 15:06.51 to
13.56.04) and in the 10,000 (from
30:35.07 to 29:51.62).

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 4). You'll leam
to go against your nature this year, but that
won't inhibit you. Instead of speaking freely, as
you always have, you'll leam to choose your
words. The job requires discretion and careful
planning. You'll have an advantage if your strat
egy is private. A partnership develops with
someone you can trust completely. You'll know
who it is by the candor.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)—Today isa9 —
You've broken into the clear again. The action
to take should be obvious. Don't launch a new
adventure before you've taken care of business
at home. A friend's advice is pertinent. Slow
down and do it right so that you won't have to
do it over.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5
— It’s time to start getting practical again, so set
your fantasies aside. But before you do, choose
which one you’re going for next. That one has
a new status, especially if you and your partner
agree on it. It isn't a fantasy any longer, it's an
achievable goal — even if you're not yet sure
how to reach it
GEMINI (May 21-June21)—Today is a 7 —
There's more to do than you're capable of do
ing, but it may be hard to let go. You have your
ideas, so convey them to a person whose skills
you admire. The end result may be better than
you could have produced on your own.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)—Today is a 5 —
There’s a mountain of work, and more coming
in every minute. There will be changes, errors
and snafus — bet on it. Planning ahead catches
some of the problems, but not all. It's not your
fault, so relax.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 —
You're so cute, nobody can resist your charms.
And you're not the only one. If you're not in
love already, odds are good that you will be by
nightfall. If you're already in love, let your soul
male set the agenda. This will be fun!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sepl. 22)—Today is a 6 —
Keep studying! You'll need all the ammunition,
er, information you can gel. You're about to be
queried on your theory, your methods and your
reasons for being. Nobody said this was going
to be easy. Be prepared!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is an 8 —
If you want a raise, how about learning new
skills? How hard can it be? For you, not very.
Your mind is now ravenous for new knowledge.
Limit yourself to the stuff that's most mar
ketable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7
— You've got the charisma, now go get the
cash. Not anything illegal, of course. But if you
suspect you're worth more than you've been
getting, do something about it. Put more of
what you do get into savings. Benefits count as
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 7 —You're about ready to burst by now.
Schedule a meeting with your most trusted con
fidant and advisor. Together, sort through the
data you've collected. As you put the puzzle to
gether, a picture will start to emerge. Hint It is
n't what you thought it would be.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —Today is
a 6 — Friends are there to help, but don't let
them be a distraction. Mercury is going retro
grade, and that usually means confusion. Slow
down, take your time, do things right. There'll
still be mistakes, but they won't be yours.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 7
— Don’t take any risks with communication. If
you say you’ll be home for dinner at a certain
time and don't follow through, there'll be trou
ble. Call and let people know where you are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6 —
An argument between two other people could
give you an advantage. Let them battle it out
while you keep a low profile. It’s going to get
worse before it gets better, by the way. Around
Thursday, the smoke will start to clear.
