Oregon’s 27 points in the team
competition.
“It’s a pretty big blow to the team,
but hopefully it can bring the team
closer together,” Stiegeler said. “You
don’t see the character of a team un
til something like this happens.”
Stiegeler, who used his redshirt
year as a backup placekicker at Ore
gon State before coming to Oregon,
said he will apply for a special
medical redshirt this season.
Oregon Prone
Stiegeler is not the only defend
ing NCAA champion on the Ore
gon squad to suffer an injury this
season. Senior Santiago Lorenzo,
last season’s national champion in
the decathlon, has yet to compete
in an outdoor meet because of a
quadricep injury suffered late in
the indoor season.
Oregon officials would not put a
timeline on Lorenzo’s comeback,
saying that the decathlete makes

Lorenzo’s fellow decathlete, sen
ior Billy Pappas, has also missed the
entire outdoor
season with an
injury, but will
likely return to
action this
weekend in the
Washington
Dual. Pappas
finished eighth
in the NCAA
decathlon last
STIEGELER season.
Simon Says
With the bevy of injuries to stars
of the men’s team, middle-distance
runner Simon Kimata echoed the
sentiments of many when he asked,
“Where will the points come
from?”
The Washington Dual meet this
Saturday is one of only four scored
meets of the season, where the
Ducks compete directly with other
teams. The two remaining scored
meets are the Pacific-10 Conference
Championships and the NCAA
r■■
Championships.
So with point-scorers like
Stiegeler and Lorenzo not compet
ing this weekend, the injured Ki
mata said he will compete in the
meet because he “feels bad.” Kima
ta is one of three NCAA automatic
qualifiers from the Oregon team
this season — Stiegeler and dis
tance-runner Jason Hartmann are
the other two — and his points in
the 800 meters could have a big im
pact on the team competition, espe
cially with so many injuries.
Kimata has a strained left
Achilles tendon, but the injury is
minor and Kimata has been doing
rehabilitation workouts all week.
“I don’t know the status of John
and the status of Santiago, but
we’re going to do as much as we
can to make up for their points,” Ki
mata said.
Oregon and Washington will
square off starting at noon on Satur
day in the Washington Dual at Hay
ward Field.
