Men run to fifth at Pre-NCAAs ■ Oregon men finish in fifth place while the women place 26th at the Pre-NCAA Invitational in South Carolina By Chris Cabot Oregon Daily Emerald The No. 18 Oregon men’s cross country team came out of Greenville, S.C., with a fifth-place finish and a feel for the course that it hopes to run at the NCAA Cham pionships. The Pre-NCAA Invitational, held on the Furman University cross country course, featured two separate races- in both the men’s and women’s fields. The Oregon men, who ran in the 35 team black race, lost only to Stan ford, North Carolina State, North ern Arizona and Brigham Young University. Oregon finished ahead of higher ranked teams like No. 11 Colorado State and No. 16 Michigan State, which should help the Ducks move up in the polls. All-American junior Jason Hart mann led the Ducks with a 17th place finish in a time of 25:03 over the 8-kilometer course. Behind Hartmann, junior John Lucas finished in 37th overall with a time of 25:25. The other Oregon finishers were Ryan An drus (41st, 25:28), Brett Holts (65th, 25:52), Eric Logsdon (73rd, 25:58) and Noel Paulson (88th, 26:07). Top-ranked Colorado won the other men’s race, which featured a record-shattering time of 23:31 from Eastern Michigan’s Boaz Cheboiywo. The previous record of 24:00 was set in 1997 by Col orado’s Adam Goucher. On the women’s side, Oregon finished 26th in the 34-team pur ple race. Head coach Tom Heinonen now knows where his teams stands. “I’m proud of the way our peo ple raced,” he said. “We will not go to the NCAAs, but weTe ready to make a run at Washington State for a top-six finish in the Pac-10.” As she has done in every race that she has run this season, red shirt junior Carrie Zografos led the Oregon rumlers, finishing 75th overall while covering the 6K course in 22:45.

Oregon sophomore Chris King won his first-ever singles title at the Ducks’ first tournament of 2001 in California. King won five singles matches on his way to the crown. The Salinas, Calif., native beat Nick Tracy of Cal Poly 6-2, 3 6, 6-4 in the championship match Sunday. “Chris did a great job this week and we’re happy with his accom plishment,” Oregon head coach Chris Russell said. “He’ll come home feeling good about his championship.” King joined five Oregon singles players and three doubles teams at the three-day tournament. Not all of the Ducks were as success ful as King. On the singles side, Oregon jun ior Jason Menke advanced to the quarterfinals, while sophomore Martin Pawlowski lost in straight sets to Ricardo Rizo of San Diego, also in the quarterfinals. Three Oregon players — freshman Johan Paalberg, sophomore Greg Dubourdieu and freshman Kyle Halberg — fell in the first round. On the doubles side, all three Duck pairs had exited the tourna ment by the second round. Several Oregon singles players participated in a consolation bracket after losing in the regular tournament. Three Ducks lost in the first consolation round, while Halberg fell in the consolation bracket’s quarterfinals. King took a relatively easy path to the championship. He rolled over his opponents in the first three rounds, losing only 13 games in six sets. King lost the first set of his semifinal match with Arizona’s Colin O’Grady, 2 6, but went on to win the next two sets, 6-2 and 6-4. “He really turned his tennis around after the first game loss and scored a big win,” Russell said af ter King’s win Saturday. The San Diego All-College Ten nis Tournament was Oregon’s first of the season. The Ducks will par ticipate in two more tournaments this fall — including their own Duck Classic in November — be fore taking up match play in late January. Oregon will next travel to the ITA Regionals in Santa Clara, Calif., Oct. 26-29. North Campus 579 E. Broadway 686-1166 South Campus 2870 E.
