Wrestling
continued from page 7 A
17-6 major decision against Pacif
ic’s Kahaa Rezantes, and then
pinned Jaime Garza of Central
Washington at 3:51.
“(Williams) is still having some
discomfort in the ankle, but he
went out and did some good
things,” head coach Chuck Kearney
said. “For the first time this year, he
really opened up and put some
points on the board. That is what is
going to be Shaun’s key when it
comes time for the conference and
national tournaments — his ability
to put on points.”
In the 133-pound class, Harless
made his debut after an ankle in
jury against Pacific’s Garrett
Miyake. Harless came away with a
20- 4 technical fall to earn the Ducks
five points.
Against Central Washington,
Martin Mitchell, who had been fill
ing in for the injured Harless, won
a 14-6 decision against Ross Kondo.
Near the end of the first period of
the match, Mitchell was nearly
pinned by Kondo but was saved by
the period-ending buzzer. Mitchell,
a redshirt freshman, countered in
the next two periods with three
nearfalls to secure the win.
Brian Watson wrestled in his tra
ditional spot at 141 pounds for Ore
gon and earned two wins improv
ing his record on the season to 16-6.
Against Pacific, Watson earned a
21- 8 major decision and won a 12-3
matchup in the nightcap of the
doubleheader.
Kearney said he was pleased
with certain aspects of Watson’s
wrestling and said that the veteran
“You gotto push the tempo and get that
taste of blood in your mouth and then you
can go for the kill.”
Chuck Kearney
Oregon head coach
junior is “going to be awful hard to
beat” if he brings all that he has
learned into the rest of the season.
The Oregon head coach has put
Watson and the rest of the team
through a strict training schedule
throughout the season but especial
ly these past few weeks, and the re
sults are showing.
“We went out and were obvious
ly able to fatigue both teams tonight
and we scored a lot of points in the
third round,” Kearney said. “What
we want our guys to take from these
matches is that these two teams that
we wrestled tonight may not be the
top teams in our conference or at
nationals, but fatiguing an oppo
nent and putting pressure on them
it doesn’t make any difference what
level it is you are wrestling against.
“You got to push the tempo and
get that taste of blood in your
mouth and then you can go for the
kill. That’s what our team kind of
did tonight, and we want them to
apply it next Friday night against
Boise State and then at Arizona
State and throughout the season.”
Clear examples of the results of
Kearney’s conditioning program
were the wins by Overstake and
Webster. Knee injuries had sidelined
both Overstake and Webster, but lit
tle rust showed in their returns.
Webster, who competed at 184
pounds but typically holds the 174
pound slot, earned a 19-7 major de
cision against Pacific and scored a
24-8 technical fall over the Wildcats’
Franco Santiago, who was clearly
the more battle weary in the dual.
“It was good seeing Webster out
there wrestling again,” Kearney
said. “He gives our team a real emo
tional lift, just because they know
he is going to go out there and hoof
it up for the full seven minutes.”
Overstake won points for the
Ducks at 165 pounds against Pacif
ic when his opponent dropped out
early into the match due to an in
jury. Against Central Washington,
the junior wrestled in the 157
pound weight class and pinned
Jared Novak at 4:14.
Up one weight class from his usu
al 165 pounds, Eugene Harris wres
tled at 174 pounds and came away
with a pin and a technical fall, im
proving his overall record to 20-2.
The Ducks next wrestle at Boise
State on Friday.

Sports brief
Lorenzo leads
indoor track team

Oregon decathletes in their indoor
season multi-event debut, posting

en-event competition with a score
of 5,608 points, followed by senior

Slye (third, 5,064). Lorenzo’s score
also broke the track record of former
NCAA decathlon champion James
Dunkleberger (5,539) from 1996.
Lorenzo’s 138-point personal best
moved him to second in the world

Ivanov of Russia (5,671). Pappas’s
mark moved him to third on the U.S.
season best list, while Slye’s mark
was a 75-point personal best.
Lorenzo won the shot put (46-4)
with a personal best by more than a
foot and also led competitors in the
long jump (23-4), shot put (46-4)
and 1,000 (2:51.66). Pappas added
the meet’s top mark in the 60 hur
