    Pappas leads die way at Pac-10 Championships
■ Diny r d(j|jtib utsyiiis metjriu
of his Oregon career with a
convincing win in the decathlon
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
For Oregon decathlete Billy Pap
pas, the third time was the charm.
In his final appearance in a Pacif
ic-10 Conference meet, the Rose
burg native came from behind and
won the event in convincing fash
ion. In his two previous meetings at
the Pac-10 Championships, Pappas
earned fourth in 2000 and a year
later, he took home third.
Now, in his senior season, Pap

Moos promotes
athletics directors
The Oregon Athletic Depart
ment has promoted associate ath
letics directors Renee Baumgartner
and Dave Heeke to the positions of
senior associate athletics directors
as part of the refinement within
the University’s department of in
tercollegiate of athletics adminis
trative staff, Athletic Director Bill
Moos announced Saturday.
The moves, initiated because of
the retirement of Sandy Walton as
the department’s senior associate
athletics director for the past 10
years, are designed to improve the
department’s efficiency.
Heeke, who is in his 14th year of
involvement with intercollegiate
athletics at Oregon, will continue
pas nas cnmoea to tlie top.
After placing second on Saturday
with 3,795 points, Pappas overtook
USC’s Russell Silvers to capture the
coveted honor. The Oregon star fin
ished with 7,532 points, while Sil
vers was close behind at 7,254.
Not only was the point total a
personal best for Pappas, it puts
him in elite company. His brother,
Tom, was a star competitor at Ten
nessee and was the 1999 NCAA
champion in the event.
En route to the win, Pappas
earned marks of 44 feet 11.5 inches
in the shot put and 23-00 3/4 in the
long jump — and his throw of 195
11 in the javelin on Saturday was
managing the department’s exter
nal operations, which includes the
areas of marketing and promo
tions, sponsorships, ticketing, ra
dio and television liaison, football
and basketball scheduling, as well
as media services. In addition, he
remains involved with the overall
fund raising efforts of the depart
ment as well as oversees the
Ducks’ women’s soccer and soft
ball programs.
Baumgartner has served as the
Athletic Department’s senior
women’s administrator since
1999 and will continue in that ca
pacity in addition to retaining re
sponsibility over women’s basket
ball, volleyball, men’s and
women’s golf as well as men’s
and women’s tennis.
Additional promotions include
the elevation of Steve McBride
from assistant athletics director to
second only to UCLA’s Octavius
Gillespie.
Following up Pappas, junior Ja
son Slye, a ninth place finisher in
last season’s Pac-10 Champi
onships, improved to fifth Sunday.
His point total of 6,996 was just be
hind USC’s Shelton Davis but far
enough ahead of California’s Jason
Gatewood for a comfortable lead.
However, Slye also had to come
from behind to earn fifth place. Af
ter the first day, a disappointing
ninth place slot was waiting for the
Salem native. He finished with
3,454 points during his second day,
an improvement of only two points
— but enough to vault him four
associate director and Tom Larson
from director of finance to assis
tant athletics director for business
and finance as the department’s
chief financial officer.
McBride, who has assumed a va
riety of responsibilities within the
Athletic Department over the past
24 years, has overseen all of the
department’s recent facility im
provements, including the current
$90 million renovation of Autzen
Stadium. Larson has headed the
Athletic Department’s business of
fice since 1994.
Among personnel experiencing
the greatest shift in responsibilities
is Mike Marlow, who has assumed
the new title of assistant athletics
director for development.
Additional alterations to cur
rent duties have been awarded to
Herb Yamanaka as associate ath
letics director and special assis
spots ahead.
Finishing up the day for the
Ducks, junior Jake Horner, in his
first appearance at the Pac-lOs, took
ninth (6,570) but suffered a disap
pointing finish after early success
during the first day.
Horner, through a strong first day,
was able to finish fourth, but
slipped to his final spot during the
second day.
Horner and Slye finished with
personal bests in the decathlon.
On the women’s side, senior
Jenny Kenyon, the lone Oregon
representative, placed fifth in the
heptathlon.
After finishing third during the
tant to the director, and Jim
Bartko as assistant athletics direc
tor for community and corporate
relations.
Cho finishes 63rd
in NCAA Regional
After a promising 75 in Thurs
day’s opening round that left her
tied for 17th, Oregon’s Kathy Cho
struggled to a 79 Friday and an 83
Saturday to tie for 63rd at 21-over
237 after the final round of the
NCAA West Regional, played at
the par-72 Stanford Golf Course.
UCLA overcame a second
round three-stroke deficit to tie
for first with Pepperdine at a 19
over 883. California was six shots
off the pace at 889 to place third,
while Arizona was fourth at 890.
Other NCAA qualifiers include
fifth place Stanford (901), sixth
place finishers Arizona State and
first day, Kenyon — who finished
sixth in 1999, fourth in 2000 and
fifth in 2001 — equaled last sea
son’s finish but improved her point
total to 5,169.
That total was good enough for a
personal best and moves her into
fifth place on the all-time Oregon
record list.
Currently, the Oregon men
stand in first place in the Pac-10
Championships with 14 points.
The women, supported only by
Kenyon, are tied for third with
four points.
