Track coach Smith named region’s Coach of Year ■ After leading his squad to second place in the Pac-10, Martin Smith is honored as West Regional Coach of the Year By Hank Hager Oregon Daily Emerald The Oregon men finished sec ond in the Pacific-10 Conference Championships this season and will send seven athletes to the NCAA version this week. As a sign of the team’s successful season, head coach Martin Smith was named the West Regional’s Coach of the Year. The Pac-10 finish was Oregon’s highest finish since 1996 when the Ducks placed second behind UCLA. In 2001, the squad fin ished fifth. “The jump up in the team stand ings was a big step for us,” said Smith, who is in his fourth year as the Oregon coach. “Personally, I was a little surprised because we knew we were without three Pac 10 champions, and we only have so many peo ple who! can step in. It was a wild weekend of action, and it was neat to see how the team shared the mo mentum — it exemplified a unified effort.” Smith will now be consid ered for Na tional Coach of the Year after win ning the conference honors, which was based on a vote by regional coaches. Other winners included Con necticut’s Greg Roy, Pennsylvania’s Charlie Powell, East Carolina’s Bill Carson, Terry Long of Florida State, Rick Watkins of North Texas, Ed Nuttycombe of Wisconsin, Wi chita State’s Steve Rainbolt and Utah State’s Gregg Gensel. The winner will be announced during the NCAA finale. Duck Dearmon Chris Dearmon, the 2002 Oregon State 4A high school shot put champion, has been announced as the Oregon men’s 11th signee for the 2003 season. Dearmon, a Central Point native and Crater High standout, ranked first in the state entering the meet with a top throw of 60 feet, 7 inch es. He won the final meet of the season with a throw 58-2. “Chris is one of the top throwers in Oregon and will be a big addi tion for us in the shot put and dis cus,” Smith said. “He should make an immediate impact and is someone we can build around in those areas.” The Ducks will lose Rian In grim, a 2001 NCAA provisional qualifier indoors in the shot put, but will retain Hillsboro native James March, the team leader in the shot put and discus. Second time around When Mary Etter participated in the 2000 Prefontaine Classic Grand Prix, she was a freshman, still soaking up the Oregon experience and preparing for her first NCAA Championships appearance. So when she threw 162-2 while participating in the discus in the meet, it wasn’t such a big deal to the Everett, Wash., native. In 2002, after participating in two NCAA Championships, the junior decided to give the meet a try again. Etter again finished last in the meet with a throw of 172-02, but it was a big difference. “The first time I did the Pre ontaine, I was really uncomfort ible,” Etter said at Sunday’s event. ‘This time was so much better. 2002 Prefontaine winner ‘Aretha Hill is the nicest woman you’ll ever meet, and Suzy Powell s pretty nice too.” Etter will compete on Friday at he 2002 NCAA Championships n Baton Rouge, La., as the ninth anked athlete in the nation in he discus. “We were happy with how she hrew,” Oregon head coach Tom rieinonen said of Etter’s day at :he Prefontaine. “She got within Five feet of her season best and ilso had another 169-foot throw — either of those would normal ly make the final of the NCAA meet so we feel that she’s throw ing strongly at the right time of the year.” E-mail sports reporter Hank Hager at hankhager@dailyemerald.com.

You're naturally creative. This year, practice being retentive. That means learning how to hold on to whatever you acquire. Build up some security for later. How hard could it be? You're smart. Let somebody else make the mistakes 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 a 5 - Think before you speak. It's easy to make a dumb mis take that's impossible to take back. The less said, the better - unless you're sure you're right, of course TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Today is an 8 - Trade something you have a lot of for the thing you really want. There's plenty of this over here, and that over there. It's a win-win situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 7 - The temptation to dig into savings is great. Money is burning a hole in your pocket. If you really must have that one special treat, you can get more money from a faraway source. CANCER (June 22-July 22) - Today is a 7 - Are you under pressure to make a decision? Don't know which way you should go? Ask a person with more experience. Then, give something up to gain something better. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6 - You re cently had a few dreams that didn't materialize Keep the faith, and complete an old task. Better things are in store. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7 - You have a tough choice to make. Should you go out with your pals or make time for one special per son? How about special person now, friends to morrow? That should work. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 6 - Can you find a safe space and hide out? That would be perfect; you need the rest. Your recent activities may have just about worn you out. Protect your self. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is a 5 - The more you learn, the farther you'll go. Right now, however, the one precludes the other. Postpone your evening out until Saturday. Stay home and study. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 4 - Keep just enough money in your pocket to cover your needs, and put all the rest into savings. If you're investing, check out household goods and services. No transportation or communica tion. Still too risky. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an 8 - You emerge triumphant again. Or at least you're still kicking. Discuss priorities with your partner as you enter this new phase. Those priorities may have changed AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 6 - There's hardly time to go out for lunch. You're still working on an old assignment, and new ones are pouring in. Set priorities. First things first. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7 - A disagreement about how something should be done is apt to erupt. You're pretty shy, but you can take command when necessary. 190 OPPORTUNITIES (Bmm [BEWARE The Oregon Daily Emerald assumes no liability for ad content or response.
