UO crew heads to Windermere ■The Club Sports women’s crew team will compete in a prestigious international regatta in Seattle this weekend By Jesse Thomas for the Emerald The Club Sports women’s crew team will be in Seattle this Satur day for one of the largest regattas of the year. The Ducks will have an eight person varsity boat competing in the Windermere Cup, which is put on by the Seattle Yacht Club. This is an international regatta and attracts teams from all over the world, including the Women’s British National Team. The Ducks, competing in their fourth regatta of the sea son, said they are just excited to be competing as the Winder mere Cup requires an invitation. This means only the best teams in the nation will be present, in cluding Stanford. “The fact that we were invited is really important,” junior coor dinator Erin Koenig said. “It is based on performance as well as recommendations and dedica tion to the sport. We are looking for it to be a really fun regatta.” Oregon is coming off of a strong finish at the Redwood In vite two weeks ago at Humboldt State, where all the boats for the Ducks placed. They enter the Windermere Cup ranked 15th in j the nation, but expect to prove themselves better this weekend. “It is a tremendous experience and an honor to be part of it,” Oregon head coach Joe Neron said. “I expect a great race from my girls.” “The fact that we were invited is really important. It is based on performance as well as recommendations and dedication to the sport. ” Erin Koenig junior coordinator After the conclusion of this regatta, the Ducks have just two events left before the end of the season. The Pacific Coast Row ing Championships and the Pa cific-10 Conference Champi onships will be held the weekend of May 18-19. Koenig said the Ducks are confident they can place high in those two competitions, but there is business to be taken care of in Seattle first. The women did not compete in the Windermere Cup last year. Jesse Thomas is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. www.dailvemerald.nnm Track continued from page 13 John Stiegeler and others from the Ducks’ track team are in jured, so the simulated dual meets offered by the site are tech nically inaccurate. But we still love them. So that’s why this week, we’ll simulate some meets between Ore gon and other teams competing in the Cardinal Invitational. From last week’s simulated ac tion, you know the Ducks would take out the Cardinal without dropping a point. But pit Oregon against Brigham Young, and the Cougars would edge the Ducks 101-99. Oregon would also lose a nail-biter to Texas, 105-92. But the Ducks could have suc cess against some of the other teams at the Stanford meet. North Carolina State would go down to Oregon 140-0, as would Arkansas. Weber State would fall 105-96, and Minnesota and Wis consin would also lose by less than 10 points. Who knew computers could be such fun? Invite to the Twilight The Oregon track and field team wants you. But before you get too excited, know that you have to be a coach, and you can’t nominate yourself. The athletic department is current ly taking nominations for athletes in several events for the Oregon Twilight on Saturday, May 11. Coaches can go to www.goducks.com for details. The Twilight is Oregon’s only re maining home meet. E-mail sports reporter Peter Hockaday atpeterhockaday@dailyemerald.com.
