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

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.

UO’s King nets tennis championship
■ Ducks’ sophomore Chris King
captured the singles title in
Oregon’s first tournament of the
season
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
At the San Diego All-College
Tennis Tournament this week
end, a Duck was crowned King of
the courts.
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.
