Track hits the ground running
■ Mary Etter leads the women,
and Simon Kimata paces the
men in weekend track action
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
Junior Mary Etter had that spe
cial magic Saturday in Tempe,
Ariz., leading the Oregon
women’s track and field team to a
successful showing at the Ari
zona State Invi
tational.
Etter, a two
time Pacific-10
Conference scor
er and one-time
All-American,
earned NCAA
provisional marks in the shot put
(48-11 feet 1/2 inches) and the dis
cus (166-3). Both distances were
good enough to net her first in
each event.
However, the strongest showing
from the Oregon women may have
come in the javelin throw.
Freshman Roslyn Lundeen took
first with a throw of 166-11, with
sophomore Sarah Malone taking
second at 165-3, both marks being
good enough to eclipse the qualify
ing provisional standard. Lun
deen’s throw was a career best and
enabled her to climb the NCAA
provisional list as well.
Not to be outdone, freshman
Elisa Crumley finished third with
a mark of 159-8, also eclipsing the
provisional standard.
Rounding out the event, junior
Charyl Weingarten finished fourth,
but her throw of 150-2 was just un
der the standard of 150-11.
Overall, the Ducks had a stellar
day down in the desert.
“We were happy with the day,
and had a lot of good things hap
pen,” Oregon head coach Tom
Heinonen said. “Our athletes re
sponded to wonderful weather in
our first really good opportunity
to compete this season. Some of
the events were pretty low-key
and had relatively small fields,
but we still had some remarkably
good performances, including
four wins in the throws with real
ly solid marks and five middle
distance PRs.”
Junior Jordan Sauvage contin
ued the Ducks’ winning ways with
the team’s first qualifying mark in
the hammer throw (172-4). Etter
also placed well in the event, earn
ing third with a distance of 165-7.
Junior Carrie Zografos took
third in the 800 meter run, with a
time of 2:11.85. She finished less
than a second behind second
place finisher Lisa Aguilera of
Arizona State.
Freshman Laura Harmon was
right behind Zografos, finishing
the run at 2:12.55, good enough to
earn fourth in the event. Junior
Alicia Snyder-Carlson placed
sixth.
All Duck runners in the 800
earned personal bests.
Ending the day, junior Amanda
Brown took second in the triple
jump (38-4 1/4), sophomore
Kirsten Riley earned a 12-5 1/2
mark in the pole vault — good
enough for second — and fresh
man Katie McKeever placed third
in the discus (155-4).
Men busy in California
and Arizona
The Oregon men’s track team
warmed up — literally and figura
tively — at the Cardinal Invita
tional in California and the Ari
zona State Invitational in Arizona
this weekend.
The Ducks notched an NCAA
automatic mark and four Pac-10
marks, all in distance-running
events, at the weekend-long Car
dinal Invitational.
But in Arizona, Simon Kimata,
Micah Harris and Terry Ellis had
the big meets. Kimata ran a per
sonal best in the 800, a 1:46.65, to
potentially take the national lead
and earn an automatic NCAA
qualifying time. Harris and Ellis
ran Pac-10 qualifying times in the
110-meter hurdles.
Kimata’s 800 time was the
fourth-best time in Oregon history.
In Palo Alto, Calif., sophomore
Jason Hartmann started his 2002
campaign strong with an NCAA
mark of 28:51.00 in the 10,000
meter race.
“Today was a good first step,”
Hartmann said. “The goal was to
get an automatic qualifying mark
and run smart. The conditions felt
great and the field was ready to go.
It's good to get the qualifying time
under your belt, so you can get
some confidence and focus on the
rest of the season.”
Hartmann’s teammates Adam
Bergquist and John Lucas garnered
Pac-10 marks Friday in the 5,000
and 10,000, respectively. On Sun
day, Ryan Andrus added a Pac-10
mark — the first of his career — in
the 1,500, and Brett Holts notched
a Pac-10 mark in the steeplechase.
Eric Logsdon missed a Pac-10
mark in the steeplechase by a mere
quarter-second.
The Ducks have a full week of
action ahead of them in the Texas
Relays in Austin, Texas. The Ore
gon squad will begin action at the
meet on Wednesday.
