Women harriers a step behind
■The women’s cross country
team looks to catch up to its
Pac-10 foes, while the men
performed well up in Portland
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
Though a fifth place finish may
not have been what head coach Tom
Heinonen and the women of the
cross country team were looking for
in Seattle, it is a start.
Next weekend’s Roy Griak Invita
tional in St. Paul, Minn., begins the
portion of the season when they
need to score well in order to have a
chance at going to the NCAA Cham
pionships, and Saturday’s Sun
dodger Invitational provided an ex
cellent opportunity for the team to
gain some valuable experience.
“I liked the way they raced, but
we are far behind our Pac-10 oppo
nents,” Heinonen said.
The Washington Huskies led the
way with 35 points and were fol
lowed by UCLA (53 points),
Auburn (95) and Washington State
(107). The Ducks finished with 121
points, which placed them ahead of
non-conference opponents Boise
State, Portland, Eastern Washington
and Idaho.
Junior transfer Carrie Zografos
ran extremely well for the Ducks,
finishing seventh overall with a
time of 17*36, 38 seconds behind
second-place finisher Lisa Gibbs of
Washington. Another Husky, Sabri
na Munro, finished almost a full
minute ahead of Gibbs for the win
with a time of 16:06.
Zografos was in 14th place a mile
into the race and then charged all
the way up to seventh. Teammate
Laura Harmon, who finished sec
ond for the Ducks and 19th overall,
was impressed with the way Zo
grafos ran.
“She is just so strong right now,”
Harmon said. “She’s probably going
to be our lead runner this entire
year.”
Zografos was in Mexico studying
abroad for a portion of the summer
and ran at a high-altitude park there.
She also spent
time in Boulder,
Colo., where she
was for the first
two years of her
collegiate career.
The training she
put in this summer
paid off, and she said she feels good
about the way she is running.
“It was fun,” she said. “I’ve never
been first on a team before.”
Harmon also is coming into the
season enthusiastic about her own
running thus far.
“I felt like I could have done a lit
tle better,” she said. “But I’m run
ning better than I’ve run at the be
ginning of any season right now. ”
Many of the teams in the Pacific
10 have been training longer than
the Ducks. UCLA ran a race on Sept.
1, before Heinonen’s squad had
even started team workouts in Eu
gene.
“It remains to be seen whether we
can close the gap on the teams that
have players going to nationals,”
Heinonen said. “The first step is to
beat Washington State and then
close in on UCLA, and UCLA is
miles ahead of us right now. ”
Other Oregon finishers included
Erinn Gulbrandsen (33rd, 18:23),
Magdalena Sandoval (35th, 18:28),
Annette Mosey (44th, 18:39), Sara
Schaaf (49th, 18:45), Alicia Snyder
Carlson (53rd, 19:02) and Annie
Davis (69th, 19:40).
Tara Struyk, a top runner from
last year who has been sidelined
due to injury, has been training in
the water, getting ready to run next
weekend at the Roy Griak Invita
tional, a race that Heinonen has all
but demanded her to be ready for
because he thinks she can step right
into a scoring role..
At the Roy Griak Invitational,
whose namesake was Heinonen’s
coach when he was in school, the
Ducks placed seventh last year.
Many of the teams from the Pac-10
will be there along with various oth
er top schools from around the
country.
On the men’s side, the Ducks
head into next Saturday’s invita
tional ranked 13th in the nation af
ter sweeping the season opener up
in Portland. The “B” unit garnered
victories over Portland and Port
land State on Wednesday, thanks in
large part to top Oregon finishers
Noel Paulson and John Lucas. +,
Paulson ran the 5,820-meter race
in 18:27 to claim his first career vic
tory. Three seconds later, fellow
sophomore Lucas crossed the line
ahead of Portland’s Steve Schaefer,
who finished with a time of 18:35.
Other finishers for the Ducks
were Oliver Redig (fourth, 18:55),
Adam Bergquist (sixth, 19:01), Kyle
Robinson (seventh, 19:01), Simon
Kimata (11th, 19:37) and Ross
Krempley (12th, 19:59).
The harriers topped Portland’s
“B” unit 20-36 and beat Portland
State 15-47.
In the preseason 2001 Mondo
Men’s Division 1 Coaches Poll, Port
land was ranked 17th in the nation,
so Wednesday’s triangular was no
walk in the park for head coach
Martin Smith’s runners.
