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.

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.
