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

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. ”

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.

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.
