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.”

NCAA Championships in Baton
Rouge, La., which start four days
after the Prefontaine.
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

in Sydney, Australia.
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

“I think we’re far more like a basket
ball game,” Jordan said. “There’s action
from the opening tip to the final gun.”
