Tennis continued from page 9 Sophomore Chris King and fresh men Johan Paalberg, Sven Swinnen and No. 101 Manuel Kost won for an Oregon team that finished 12-10 (0-7 Pac-10) this season. “It was a nice way for us to end the season,” head coach Chris Rus sell said. Junior Oded Teig, sophomore Martin Pawlowski, Kost and Swin nen lost first round matches in the main draw. Junior Jason Menke, freshman Kyle Halberg and King lost in the first round of the invitational draw. Paalberg lost, 6-2, 6-1 in the second round to Ruben Torres of USC after advancing by a forfeit. "We’ve been more competitive this year,” Russell said after the first day’s results. “It was a disappoint ing day. I know we have a lot more in us than what we showed today.” On March 20, Oregon was 11 2, with impressive wins against No. 70 Brigham Young, No. 63 New Mexico and No. 74 UC Santa Barbara. Since then, the team lost eight out of nine matches, including the last seven in the Pac-10 and dropped out of the national rank ings and contention for the NCAA Tournament. All eight of the losses came against top-65 teams, including six top-34 teams. “It’s unfortunate, the way the Pac-10 scheduling goes, that we play the tougher part of our sched ule at the end of the season,” Ore gon assistant coach Matt Shaine said. “There is no question that our team should be ranked.” Peter Martini is a freelance reporter for the Emerald.

Even without Holliday, the pole vault is shaping up to be one of the strongest events. Last year’s winner, the all-time record holder in the event — Stacy Dragila — will again make her presence known to the Eugene crowd. One of only seven women in the world to clear 15-feet, Dragila head lines a group of five women that is set to compete this year. Russia’s Svetlana Feofanova, the indoor world record holder, also is sched uled to visit Hayward, and is ex pected to challenge Dragila. And the two have a little bit of history between them. In the 2001 World Champi onships in Edmonton, Alberta, both cleared 15-7. That paved the way for a showdown at 15-9 1/4, the height at which Dragila holds the world record. Both failed to clear the height and Dragila was declared the win ner by virtue of fewer misses. However, as world class athletes, a similar showdown can be expect ed at Hayward. But to say the pole vault is the only attraction would be a mis take. The women’s discus will feature two of the top throwers in the world. The American record holder, Suzy Powell, will visit Eugene, as will Olympic Champion Elli na Zvereva. Powell’s top mark of 227-10 at the UC-San Diego Open this past weekend smashed the previous U.S. record, and is the farthest throw in the world since June 1999. On the other end is Zvereva, a 41-year-old from Belarus. She took second in the 2000 Pre Clas sic, and followed that up with a 2002 UO Summer Session Registration Starts May 6.

As usual, the 2002 Prefontaine Classic is shaping up to be one of the best track meets in the country. And according to Jordan, that is “absolutely essential. “People come to see the great ath letes,” he said. And with so many world-class athletes packed into a meet that lasts less than three hours, fans at Hayward Field will get their mon ey’s worth. “I think we’re far more like a basket ball game,” Jordan said. “There’s action from the opening tip to the final gun.” E-mail sports reporter Hank Hager at hankhager@dailyemerald.com. 014001 Open to all students with sophomore standing or above.
