207-8. That throw beat his pre
vious personal best by 10 feet.
Later, Kriz scored personal bests
in the shot put and the discus.
On the track, the Ducks were
led by the fleet feet of Brandon
Holliday and Micah Harris. Hol
liday won a dramatic 400-meter
hurdles race with a time that
came .09 seconds short of the
NCAA provisional mark and
put him ninth on the all-time
Oregon list.
“I was so nervous coming in
today, just because this is one of
the biggest meets we have all sea
son,” Holliday said. “We have to
protect our home court.”
Harris won both the 200 and
the 110 hurdles with solid times.
He also ran on the 4x100 relay
team, which featured football
players Allan Amundson and
Sarnie Parker. The Ducks ran the
fourth-best time in the Pacific-10
Conference this season, a 40.77.
In other track action, NCAA
qualifier Simon Kimata re
turned to race despite an injury
to his Achilles tendon. Kimata
started strong in the 1,500, but
faded on the last lap; he ran a
similar race in the 800, normal
ly his best event.
“Coach (Steve) Silvey wanted
to do that, he wanted to run (Ki
mata) in the 1,500 and then run
him in the 800 with only a little
rest,” Smith said. “Obviously,
neither race was very pretty.”
Another Oregon NCAA quali
fier, sophomore Jason Hart
mann, did not compete in the
dual because his best event, the
10,000, was not featured at the
short meet.
Coach Smith was happy with
the balance he saw in his team
Saturday.
“To borrow a football analogy,
the offense really picked up the
defense today, and the other way
around,” Smith said, referring to
the differences between the track
athletes and the field athletes.
The Ducks will travel to Cali
fornia for the Mt. San Antonio
College Relays next week. The
meet starts Friday and runs
through Sunday.

Donovan earning a personal record
in the 400 (57.69).
Later on, Oregon’s 4x100 relay
team was ruled to have won the
event after Washington was disqual
ified for an illegal hand-off in the
third turn.
Following that, the 4x400 squad
— featuring Macdonald, Donovan,
senior Jenny Kenyon and junior
Becky Holliday — squeaked out a
win at 3:47.05.
Rounding out the day for the
Ducks’ track squad, Carrie Zografos
made school history and earned an
NCAA provisional mark.
The junior came from behind to
win the steeplechase at 10:42.02.
She now ranks first in Oregon histo
ry in the event.
“We knew we would have to rely
heavily on the field events,” Oregon
head coach Tom Heinonen said.
“Eri’s win was important to slow
them some, and we needed our
field event athletes to keep piling
up the points through the end.”
Heinonen’s expectations did not
fall on deaf ears, as the Ducks sent
the Huskies home with virtually a
bare cupboard of victories in the
field events. Sophomore Sarah
Malone started off the day by tak
ing first in the javelin throw at 158
feet but was far off her mark of 179
2 a week ago. She edged out
teammate Elisa Crumley, whose
best throw was 157-04.
As most had feared would hap
pen, the rains made for slippery con
ditions and played a part in the low
er scores. However, the Ducks didn’t
use this as an excuse.
“I’m not going to blame it on the
weather, because we’re used to this,
but we’re kind of using this meet as a
way to pretty much go out there and
dominate in the javelin,” Malone
said. “It’s kind of, I don’t want to say
‘laid back’ because you always want
to be in a competitive mode, but just
something that we’re going to train
through. I wish I would have done
better, because it always sucks when
you don’t perform well, but for the
conditions, you couldn’t expect
much more.”
Right after Malone took first in
the javelin, juniors Mary Etter and
Jordan Sauvage battled for first in
the hammer throw, with Sauvage
coming out on top at 170-07. Etter
finished second at 166-09, but
would later win in the discus (164
04), and place behind Washing
ton’s Searan Salibian for second in
the shot put (44-04).
Junior Amanda Brown con
tributed heavily for the Ducks,
claiming a personal best in the triple
jump (38-10 1/4) and second in the
long jump (17-8).
Holliday earned her first mark in
the pole vault at Hayward Field this
season at 13-05.25, matching the
NCAA automatic height.
With most of the 2,603 in atten
dance on their feet, Holliday missed
three consecutive attempts at 14-2.
Had she cleared the height, it would
have been two inches below her per
sonal record.
Holliday finished up her day by
taking third in the 200 (25.33) and
contributing in the 4x400.
“I have one thing I need to do:
turn earlier,” she said. “I’m hitting
on my way up, and if I turned earli
er, I’d have 14-6 clearance easy. It’s
just that I’m not doing this one ad
justment that I need to make.”
Said Heinonen of Holliday’s day:
“I liked that Becky was willing to
come back after the pole vault and
run the 200 and 4x400. That shows
a lot of heart.”

“Between Justin and Courtney
Miller, there’s a lot of competition
out here,” Moore said of the two
open cornerback spots. “But we’re
all making each other better.”
Four Ducks — Kai Smalley, Tate
Pittman, Ramone Reed and
Phinisee — recorded four tackles,
with Darrell Wright and David Mar
tin tallying quarterback sacks.
Sophomore tackle Robby Valen
zuela hit Vossmeyer in the end
r
zone for a safety.
“The pocket doesn’t last long with
our guys,” Bellotti said of the defen
sive pressure on the quarterback.
A pair of walk-ons led the offen
sive in rushing and receiving. Matt
Stewart scored the lone touchdown
of the day on a 43-yard run. He fin
ished with 59 yards on six carries.
Eleven receivers tallied two catch
es, with Jon Lucchesi picking up a
team-best 20 yards total.
In limited action, Smith had five
carries for five yards. Backup tail
back Allan Amundson — who also
competed in the Washington Dual
for the track team Saturday after
noon — had a game-high 11 carries
for 33 yards.
Punter Jose Arroyo hit the only
field goal of the day, a 34-yard shot.
Placekicker Jared Siegel, last year’s
starter, barely missed a 50-yard at
tempt and had a 42-yard try
blocked by Miller.
“Offensively, we lost a lot of
steam from things we had been
working on in the last six or seven
practices,” Bellotti said.
Penalties, to say the least, ham
pered the Ducks’ efforts Saturday —
on both sides of the ball. A total of
119 penalty yards were assessed by
the men in zebra stripes, 64 yards on
five defensive penalties and 55 yards
on seven offensive penalties.
Perhaps the most impressive
play of the day came from Clemens,
who after scrambling around sever
al defenders hit walk-on Aaron
Baker, who dove into the end zone
for a touchdown. The play, howev
er, was called back on a penalty.
“We need to clean up a lot of
things, including our demeanor on
the field,” Bellotti said. “We’re not
where we want to be right now.”
Injuries: Defensive end Kevin
Mack may have torn the anterior
cruciate ligament in his left knee,
Bellotti said. Offensive tackle
Adam Snyder also went down with
a knee injury, but Bellotti said it
only appeared to be a strain. Walk
on linebacker Matt Haliski separat
ed his shoulder during practice pri
or to the scrimmage.
