Dragila is the world record holder in the pole vault, and she holds the Prefontaine Classic record at a height of 15-11/2. Women’s continued from page 3C “When you figure she’s been competing at the pro levels for 14 years, it’s astonishing.” If you’re looking for a wild-card at this season’s Prefontaine, Richards would be the one to watch. The top high school runner in the nation in the 400 (51.68) by more than one second, Richards is attempting to do the same thing that current UCLA runner Monique Henderson did by finishing fourth in the event two years ago as a high school competitor. But Richards is one-tenth of a second faster than Henderson ran that year, and, according to Jordan, should be given serious considera tion at the Classic. “We try to bring in the best high school athletes,” Jordan said. “Richards has the potential to break the high school record in the 400.” But to judge the Prefontaine based on just those three would be a mistake. Suzy Powell headlines a strong list of athletes in the discus throw, a group that includes Aretha Hill and New Zealand’s Beatrice Fau muina. Joining Richards in the 400 will be some prestigious company. The 2002 record holder, Michelle Collins, will run at fabled Hay ward, while No. 4 LaTasha Colan der-Richardson will attempt to better Cathy Freeman’s mark of 50.02, set in 1998 and constitut ing the Hayward Field and Pre Classic record. Former Oregon star and 1999 Pac-10 champion Marie Davis re turns to Hayward after finishing 11th in the 3,000 run in 2001. She will be accompanied Marla Run yan, the 2001 Pre Classic winner, and Great Britain’s Kathy Butler, runner-up to Runyan. “These are across the board the best fields we’ve ever had,” Jordan said. And it all starts at 1 p.m. Sunday. E-mail sports reporter Hank Hager at hankhager@dailyemerald.com. FIND THINGS IN ODE CLASSIFIED!
