Men’s continued from page 5A pleased that the team has pro gressed every meet,” head coach Martin Smith said. “This week is another important step in our de velopment, and the regional has a very high level of talent. “We're excited about seeing where we’re at, and hopefully we’re rewarded with a trip to the NCAA Championships. That’s been the main goal we’ve been practic ing toward all year.” Brett Holts, John Lucas and Ryan Andrus have been running well for Oregon this season, and for the Ducks to place well at the regionals, their second through fifth men need to be in the 20th through 35th overall range, according to Smith. True freshman Seth Pilkington, who has not finished the last two races in which he has competed, will most likely be held out of the regional race by Smith, but he will still travel with the team. Because the regionals and the nationals are both 10,000-meter races, Pilkington may sit out to preserve his strength for the national meet.

Women’s continued from page 5A the team to Tucson because of pain in her upper leg, which is suspect ed to be a femur stress fracture. With Schaaf not entering the race, the women are left with only six members of the team entering the race: Erinn Gulbrandsen, Annette Mosey, Alicia Snyder Carlson, Harmon, Sandoval and Zografos. Despite the superior competition and roadblocks from injuries, Heinonen and the team is still looking ahead with a positive frame of mind. “The goal we talked about this week is for each individual to run better than Pac-lOs and finish the season on a more positive note,” he said.

Everyone knows de fense is not my forte.” And everyone knows Oregon’s forte this season is not in the paint, where the Ducks were out rebounded by Western Oregon 33-27. “We certainly need to establish a presence in the post,” Smith said. “We need a balanced attack to be competitive.” Senior post Alyssa Fredrick, af ter scoring 16 points in the exhi bition opener last week, was 0 for-'l from the floor and finished the game with three points (all on free throws). In all, Oregon’s five post players scored a combined ** 18 points against the Wolves Thursday. “We’re a young team and I , thought they got better tonight,” Curry said. “I think we’ll have a great team come the start of Pac-lOs.” The Ducks now have a little more than a week to prepare for their first regular-season game against Wisconsin-Green Bay on Nov. 17. “I wish we had one more exhibi tion game,” Williams said. “I think we still have one more step to take before we’re in regular-season shape.” If Thursday night’s progress was any indication of how much a week’s practice can do, Oregon should be just fine come next Saturday.
