Ducks off on right foot
Freshman Nicole Feest finished
fifth for the Ducks in her first
college competition
Cross Country Notes

Most freshmen don’t score in their
team’s first varsity meet of the sea
son. Most freshmen don’t even place
in their team’s first varsity meet of
the season. True freshman Nicole
Feest placed and scored in the first
meet of her collegiate career for the
Oregon cross country team.
Feest, who graduated from Glen
bard East High School last spring,
helped her high school squad finish
fifth in the 2001 2A state cross coun
try meet by finishing fourth individ
ually. During her senior year, she
also earned conference, sectional
and regional accolades.
“She’s a tough runner,” head
coach Tom Heinonen said. “She
kept her wits about her and she
raced well.”
With only one meet under her
belt, Feest has plenty more chances
to race well as a Duck. And consid
ering she finished fifth in the Oregon
squad, there are many mentors for
her to learn from.

Laura Harmon (10) and the Oregon cross country squad head to Salem this weekend.
proved their race times at the Roy
Griak Invitational. Between last year’s
Roy Griak Invitational and this year’s
meet, all three women improved their
time by 30 seconds to a minute.
These same three runners trained
both by running in the track season
and extra training they gave them
selves over the summer.
Scoring? There’s a
score?
In cross country, the object of the
contest is to have the lowest team
score. The lowest team score then
wins. Each team enters seven run
ners into the race. The places of the
top five finishers for each team are
added together and that is the team
score. A perfect score would be 15
(1+2+3+4+5).
Scores also vary by the number of
teams and runners in the meet; the
larger the meet, the larger the scores
tend to be. In championships and
regular-season meets, runners who
compete as individuals do not add to
a team score.
When team scores are added up,
these runners are not counted in the
final standings, and individual places
are changed to fill the spots the inde
pendent runners held.
