Men’s continued from page 9 Brett Holts notched a personal best in the event and moved up to third on the Pac-10 list. Holts’ time of 8:57.33 was three seconds short of the NCAA provisional mark. “I tried to stay smooth and com posed early and was able to build through the race,” Holts said. “Every race I learn something new, so I just tried to stay focused and do my best to be ready for anything.” , Holts and Logsdon weren’t the only ones to run well on Friday. In the 5,000, senior Adam Bergquist and sophomore John Lucas both paced Logsdon and ran to outdoor bests. Bergquist’s time was a per sonal best. “Early on I wanted to key off Adam and John since they were more experienced,” Logsdon said. On Sunday, a handful of Ducks competed at the Jesse Owens Track Classic in Columbus, Ohio. Of the 15 Oregon athletes that competed in the meet in both track and field events, only two notched season bests. But the biggest story was the suc cessful return of senior Simon Ki mata, an NCAA qualifier who has been hampered by an injury in his most recent meets. Kimata beat a field of 21 runners in 1:47.25, a time that is less than one second slower than his season and career best. The senior from Nyeri, Kenya, will head into the Pac-10 meet lat er this month as a favorite to win the conference 800. The Ducks’ individual season bests came courtesy of Terry Ellis in the 110 hurdles and James March in the discus. Ellis ran a 14.18 to finish fifth, three spots behind teammate Micah Harris. Ellis’ time was 0.27 seconds off the NCAA provisional time and 0.14 seconds short of his personal best. March notched a personal best in the discus by almost six feet. The 166-foot-6-inch throw was two feet short of the Pac-10 qualifying mark. Oregon’s 4x100 and 4x400 teams also improved on previous bests. The 4x100 team, which has football players Allan Amundson and Sarnie Parker now concentrat ing on track full-time, ran its race in 40.66 seconds, a time that is 0.56 seconds slower than the NCAA provisional mark. The Ducks will return home for the Oregon Twilight meet on Satur day. The meet starts at 3:30 p.m. at Hayward Field. E-mail sports reporter Peter Hockaday at peterhockaday@dailyemerald.com. Thomas Patterson Emerald Redshirt freshman Brett Holts ran a personal best of 8:57.33 in the Cardinal Invite steeplechase on Friday in California. Women’s continued from page 9 line first in the 400 hurdles. The Ducks did not surprise any one in the meet. But they did meet expectations. Three women — sophomore Annette Mosey and juniors Alicia Snyder-Carlson and Becky Holli day — were golden for the Ducks, taking first in their respective events. Overall, Oregon finished with four second-place finishes and seven third-places finishes. “It was good to see new compe tition, and I liked how our athletes handled themselves,” Heinonen said. “We had a few things go real ly well, and I think we’re on the brink of a lot of better things with Janette (Davis), while we saw good things from our vaulters and throwers and Annette.” Davis and Mosey paced Ore gon’s track portion of the day, with Davis placing fourth in the 200. However, more importantly, her time of 24.64 was good enough to earn the junior a Pacific-10 Confer ence qualifying mark. Furthering her day, Davis took third in the 400 (54.32), only .01 slower than her personal best. She now has two Pacific-10 Conference qualifying marks, as she earned one in the 400 at the season’s first outdoor meet at Hayward Field in late March. Continuing Oregon’s strong day in the track portion, Mosey earned a personal best and qualified for the Pac-10 Championships with a first-place finish in the 800 run. Her time of 2:10.55 was more than two seconds ahead of Nebraska’s Liz Vacek. Freshman Laura Harmon fin ished up Oregon’s dominance in the 800, finishing third (2:13.03). But it doesn’t end there. Snyder Carlson also earned a personal best and Pac-10 qualifying mark with a win in the 3,000-meter steeple chase. The junior joins Carrie Zo grafos, making two Oregon athletes to qualify in the event. The Ducks, ranked ninth in the nation, were a balanced squad en tering Nebraska. The track squad may have turned a few heads, but the field team didn’t surprise. ‘‘It was good to see new competition, and I liked how our athletes handled themselves.” Tom Heinonen head coach They are just that good. At least the javelin throwers are. However, they weren’t good enough to take first in the event, just good enough to get spots two through five. First went to Kansas State’s Kendra Wecker. The Wildcat threw for a mark of 179-9, an NCAA au tomatic, and good enough for sec ond place in the nation. Her throw pushes Oregon sophomore Sarah Malone to third after she placed fourth at the quad. Wecker leads Malone by seven inches on the national list. Freshman Roslyn Lundeen may have stolen the show for Oregon. Coming back from an elbow injury, the Victoria, British Columbia, na tive threw a distance of 163-6 — second in the event. “Roslyn threw great off a short approach since she hasn’t thrown for weeks,” Heinonen said. Lundeen was followed by junior Charyl Weingarten, Malone and freshman Elisa Crumley — all four earning NCAA provisional marks. It is the second time this season that all four have done so at the same meet. Finally, two Oregon stars made their appearances and didn’t dis appoint in Lincoln. Holliday, the No. 2 pole vaulter in the nation, still was not able to hit the 14-5 mark — which would be a personal best for the junior — but did clear 14-0, a height good enough to garner an NCAA auto matic. However, she has already gained that honor multiple times this season. “Becky ... had good jumps at 14 5,” Heinonen said, despite her misses at the height. Junior Mary Etter had another one of her busy days, competing in the shot put, discus and hammer. She upped her personal best in the discus by 11 inches (176-8), jump ing back into the top 10 nationally, which was good enough to place second in Nebraska. She took fourth in the shot and followed that up with a 10th place finish in the hammer. Heinonen was not entirely im pressed with Oregon’s results at the Quad, but nevertheless, was happy with the team’s effort. “Overall, it was a long, long meet with huge gaps, but we had a few really encouraging marks down the stretch to end on a posi tive note,” he said.
