Parker was the only Oregon
athlete to qualify for next week
end’s Pac-10 Championships at
the Twilight. In the nine events
not won by Kent, Duck athletes
won four.
The biggest surprise of the
meet was Jason Hartmann’s run
in the 3,000. The sophomore,
who already has an NCAA-quali
fying time in the 10,000 and Pac
10 time in the 5,000, was running

hard coming back from an injury. I
pulled it down the first time, and it
felt really good.”
Finishing her day, Brown took
first in the triple jump with a mark
of 38-08 3/4.
Not to be upstaged, Etter made it
her kind of day in the throwing
events.
After failing to register a distance
due to fouls in the hammer, the jun
ior came back strong, taking the
shot put by eight feet (48-11 3/4)
and outdistancing teammate Jordan
Sauvage in the discus with a mark
of 177-05.
Etter’s discus throw was a nine
inch personal best, a throw that was
less than 1 1/2 feet away from an
NCAA automatic mark. However,
she has already earned a NCAA
provisional.
“The disc went really well
— lifetime best,” Etter said. “And
a competitive 3,000 for the first
time this season and was a late
entry into the meet. He finished
second with a time of 8:20.02, but
didn’t qualify for the postseason
because the 3,000 is not a cham
pionship event.
In an emotional high jump,
Oregon senior Kyley Johnson
won, matched his personal best
of 7-0 1/2 and had three good at
tempts at the NCAA provisional
height of 7-1 3/4. But the focus of
the introductions was on senior
Jason Boness, the school record
the shot is still consistent, so I’m
happy.”
Sauvage, the aforementioned
winner of the hammer, did so in
convincing fashion. Her top dis
tance of 183-3 was six inches shy of
an NCAA provisional mark.
The junior was far ahead of the
curve in the event, bettering Ore
gon’s Jamie Burk by more than 20
feet.
“I had a really good series,” she
said. “I definitely want more. I’m
very excited, and I’m peaking at the
right time.”
Sauvage finished off her day by
taking second in the discus (153
08).
It may not have been a personal
best, but junior Eri Macdonald kept
her winning ways going strong, tak
ing first in the 800 (2:08.70). Junior
Alicia Snyder-Carlson (2:12.56)
and Annette Mosey (2:12.88) fol
lowed close behind, with the for
mer registering a personal best.
The Ducks swept the 100
holder who wasn’t competing be
cause of an injury. The meet was
Boness’ last in an Oregon uniform
at Hayward Field.
The other Duck winners on Sat
urday were Trevor Woods in the
pole vault, James March in the
shot put and Sean Sanderson in
the 110 hurdles.
Woods and hammer thrower
Adam Kriz both notched impres
sive marks, but both fell short of
their own previous NCAA quali
fiers.

in a field of nothing but Oregon
runners — and almost did the same
in the 200, with Janette Davis
(24.85) easily defeating Southern
Oregon’s Tiwana Merritt.
“I hada really good series.
I definitely want more.
I’m very excited, and I’m
peaking at the right time. ”

Finishing the day, Ann Sullivan
(14.41) narrowly defeated team
mate Lucretia Larkin (14.81) in the
100 hurdles.
In what may have been the most
anticipated event of the day, unat
tached Oregon athlete Niki Reed
claimed victory in the pole vault.
The senior, who is redshirting
the season, was awarded first with
time Olympian and the American
record holder in the hammer, won
the event Saturday with a throw of
240 feet.
The Ducks will now focus on
* the Pac-10 Championships,
which start on Saturday in Pull
man, Wash. Oregon has 28 ath
letes qualified for the event, and
many of those athletes chose to
sit out the Twilight instead of
risking injury against the low-lev
el competition.

a height of 13-05 1/4. Oregon en
trant Becky Holliday also cleared
the same height, but Reed did so in
fewer chances.
With the wind at their backs,
higher marks were expected. Holl
iday, who has a top height of 14-1
1/4 this season, was clearly disap
pointed.
“I just wasn’t in to it,” she said.
“I’m frustrated. I didn’t feel good on
the runway. I didn’t feel relaxed. I
didn’t feel confident. I didn’t have
a good warm-up. Maybe I was just
coming into this with too much go
ing on in my head.”
In the last event of the afternoon,
Sarah Malone outdueled team
mates Charyl Weingarten and
Rachael Kriz in the javelin.
Malone out-threw Weingarten by
14-feet, and Kriz, who had yet to
make an appearance in the event
this season, took third ahead of
George Fox’s Gina Coolen.

In the seventh, Mari Lyn Petrick
smacked a two-run double to cen
ter, putting Oregon ahead 4-0.
Oregon’s lone run in Game 1 of
the twin bill was a solo home run
from Andrea Vidlund in the fourth
inning.
In Friday’s game at California’s
Levine-Fricke Field, Oregon
charged out to a 2-0 lead in the first
inning but could not tally another
run in the last six frames. Alyssa
Laux led off the game with a double
to left-center and advanced to third
on a wild pitch. Vidlund followed
with a successful squeeze bunt to
score Laux. After Cal freshman
pitcher Kelly Anderson walked the
next two batters, Ashley Richards
lofted a single to left that scored
Vidlund. Anderson struck out
Janell Bergstrom and got Erin
Goodell to ground out, ending the
Oregon threat.
“This is a game that we should
have won,” Rincon said. “It wasn’t
a matter of them taking it away
from us, it was a matter of us getting
a little flat after we had the lead.”
In the home-half of the fourth,
California’s Candace Harper led off
with a homer to right center off of
McMurren. With one out, freshman
Jessica Pamanian blasted a two-run
homer to left that gave the Bears the
3-2 lead. Anissa Meashintubby re
lieved McMurren for the final two
and two thirds innings and shut
down the California offense strik
ing out four.
The Bears’ relief was also out
standing as Cassie Bobrow pitched
the final four and a third innings to
record the win.
