Senior decathlete Billy Pappas, the Pac-10 champion, is one of six Oregon athletes with an
NCAA bid already locked up.

“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.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 23). You'll watch
with amazement as everything falls marvelously
into place. What you've been after for years
could come together in minutes. All that plan
ning, scheming and dreaming you've already
done counts, of course, but leave room for a
miracle.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21 -April 19) - Today is an 8 - You
have a front-row seat for a very good perform
ance. Watch, listen and learn. Let your team
mates show you what they can do. You'll be
proud.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 6 - Take
on as much as you can. Put in overtime or ac
cept a second job. There’s plenty to do and lots
of money to be made. You'll be glad later.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 10 -
You're amazingly brilliant, charming and
blessed. Don't hesitate. Push for more than you
think you can get. This bme, the surprise is a
good one.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 5 - Is
your head full of ideas about fixing up your
home? Write them down. Start with your
dreams, and you can always pare down the list
later. The hard part is getting them out of your
head.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 7 - There are
so many people talking, you can't get a word in.
Don't complain. Listen and take notes. Soak it
up.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 5 - Your
routine should be set by now. You make the
widgets, the widgets sell. Fame might be elu
sive, but fortune is within your grasp. Keep
crankin' out those widgets!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 9 - Being
in charge feels pretty good, but use your power
wisely. The better you take care of others, the
better they' II take care of you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 5 - You
know it's not good to gossip, so don't! Instead,
move quickly. Get food, real estate or something
you want for your home. Another's loss is your
gain.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is an 8

that, tie up loose ends. Schedule a hideaway day
for tomorrow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is a 5 -

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 10 -
The thoughts in your head are coming together.

heart needs to be spoken. Tell one you love ex
actly how you feel.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 5 - Fi
nances usually are not your strong point. You'd
rather just have the money be there when you
need it. Today, that could happen, so stop wor
rying.
