SPONSORED BY OREGON QUARTERLY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON BOOKSTORE Women’s continued from page 9 lives in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and competes for St. Thomas Aquinas High, competed on Sunday for the first time as an American citizen. And she didn’t disappoint. Richards’ score of 51.16 became the fifth-fastest score ever for a high school female. Teter’s win, on the other hand, proved to be the biggest upset of the day. The Redwood City, Calif., native was supposed to give way to fellow American Regina Jacobs, but that didn’t happen, as the former Arkansas runner proved to be too much, winning the event with a time of 4:12.93 — two seconds ahead of Jacobs. “The race went out perfect for me,” Teter said. “I think I may have caught (Jacobs) by surprise by pass ing her on the corner.” Runyan, a resident of Eugene, took first in the 3,000, barely edging out Ireland’s Sonia O’Sullivan. Runyan’s time of 8:39.33 was only 0.03 behind O’Sullivan’s Hayward Field and Prefontaine Classic record, set in 1996. Runyan has captured back to-back titles in the event at the Pre Classic. Furthering her dominance in the Jonathan House Emerald Stacy Dragila gave the Hayward Field crowd something to cheer about when she broke her own record in the Prefontaine Classic on Sunday. discus, Aretha Hill held oh oppo nent Beatric Faumuina, winning the event with a throw of 208-03, six feet shorter than the Prefontaine Classic record, but enough to win by a single foot. When all was said and done, De vers, Dragila and Jones left their marks in the rretontame record book, and captivated the crowd with their feats. “It doesn’t get much better than this,” Jones said.

I’m so fired up to have him back and throwing well.” In February 2001, Toth had sur gery on his back, which was affect ing his left push-off leg, and in his sixth appearance at Hayward Field, he was at his best. Toth’s previous personal best was 71-5.5, which he threw in 1997 at the USA Championships. Also in 1997, Toth used his 6-foot-4-inch, near 300-pound frame (his throwing weight Sun day was 320 pounds) to compete in the World’s Strongest Man Con test. In the U.S. Strongman final, Toth placed sixth, winning the tire toss contest. Toth’s first throw Sunday at the Classic quickly drew the interest of the Hayward crowd by breaking the Pre Classic record by almost a foot. Godina, ranked No. 1 in the world four times, followed Toth’s initial throw with one that would have been measured longer, but Godina fouled during his follow through by stepping outside of the circle. Toth threw his record-breaking shot in the fourth round of the com petition while the crowd sat silent ly awaiting the start of the men’s 100-meter dash. Toth said that he took advantage of the situation to draw the crowd’s attention from the runners into the shot put circle. When his record breaking toss landed beyond the yellow stripe that signified the previous record, the crowd erupted into cheers, forc ing the sprinters to back off of their starting blocks. With the excitement of the day, his record breaking throws and his exuberant celebratory jump ing, Toth said he was “dead by the fifth (round).” But by then, the damage was al ready done. Toth said that this record-break ing day was just a starting point for the rest of the outdoor track and field season. “Watch out, man,” he said. “I know bigger things are coming.” E-mail sports reporter Chris Cabot at chriscabot@dailyemerald.com.
