Senior decathlete Billy Pappas, the Pac-10 champion, is one of six Oregon athletes with an NCAA bid already locked up. Track continued from page 9 “But it feels good.” Billy Pappas, another Oregon Pac-10 title winner, knows he’s going to the national meet, and says his focus will be recovering from the Pac-lOs. Pappas won the conference decathlon title two weeks ago, then returned to a week later to score points in the long jump. “I was expecting to do well,” Pappas said of the decathlon. “You never know what’s going to hap pen, but I thought I had a good chance to win.” Now, Pappas says he will enjoy the longer-than-usual break between meets, as the national meet doesn’t start until Wednesday. The first de cathlon events will be Friday. Harrowing Harris finish The times on the final score sheet tell you how close the final of the Pac-10 110 hurdles was: 1. Wilson, Ryan. USC. 13.81. 2. Harris, Micah. Oregon. 13.82. But how close was the race, really? “Oh ... my ... God, that race was so close,” Harris said at prac tice Wednesday. “The guy on one side said I won it, the other side said the guy might have gotten me by a fingertip or an eyelash. It was too close to see from the hu man eye.” Thankfully, the computers set tled it and named the Trojans’ Wilson the winner of the race. But Harris said he wasn’t too dis appointed about losing to the second-ranked hurdler in the na tion, especially when both hur dlers are headed to the NCAA Championships as automatic qualifiers. “That’s how it is at Pac-lOs, it’s the best guys,” Harris said. “He’s not a bad hurdler. It was definitely a good experience going into NC’s.” That might be the ultimate rea son for Harris’ lack of disappoint ment. He will see Wilson again. One can only hope that race is as thrilling as their Pac-10 meeting. Changing lanes It’s not the most controversial sports selection process, but the NCAA track and field selection method does leave a large margin for personal error. That’s why they’re changing things up. Next season, the NCAA will in stitute four regional-qualifying meets for the first time ever. The regional meets, similar to the re gional qualifying tournaments in NCAA golf, will streamline the qualifying process. The qualifying marks for regional tournaments will be lower than current NCAA provisional marks, and will allow for larger amounts of athletes. The NCAA will then select from the re gional pools. Hayward Field will not host a regional meet in the foreseeable future, because the regional meets are tentatively scheduled for the weekend of the Pre fontaine Classic and Oregon state championship meets.
