Sports brief
The Oregon track teams will
swing into gear this weekend as both
squads compete in their first events
of the indoor season.
A handful of athletes, 42 total,
from the teams will travel to Seattle
for the Husky Indoor Preview on Sat
urday. It will be the first appearance
for decathlon star Santiago Lorenzo
since he suffered a quadricep injury
last February that kept him out for
most of last season.
The women will also send a con
tingent of pole vaulters to the USATF
Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nev., to
day and Saturday.

past five games. The Ducks went
down early in both their California
losses, and never recuperated.
“Teams are coming after us this
year, and last year we were com
ing at teams,” Ridnour said.
“We’ve got to be ready to handle
that, and so far we haven’t done
such a good job.”
But Grosswhite, for one, is con
fident the Ducks can get back on
track.
“I can tell you right now, we’re go
ing to be in sync for that game,” he
said in reference to the Civil War.
The game is, after all, at grand
ma’s house.

Wrestling
continued from page 5A
losses coming by decision. Five of
his 16 wins have come from two
falls, two technical falls and a ma
jor decision.
“Last year as a true freshman,
Shane had a very good season,” Kear
ney said. “I think this is going to be a
breakthrough year for Shane.”
Friday, the Ducks wrestled in the
Redmond-hosted Oregon Classic.
The Ducks went 2-2 in their four
matches, including a win over Pac
10 opponent California State-Fuller
ton. In Oregon’s first home matches
this season, it beat Oregon State in
come-from-behind style to win 18
15 on Jan. 13, then followed with a
30-3 loss to Nebraska the next day.
The big loss to Nebraska came
from a lot of little mistakes.
“We just have to step up as a
team,” Kearney said.
The team, however, lost one of
their top wrestlers Monday. Senior
Eric Webb, who finished third in the
Pae-10 at heavyweight last year, suf
fered his fourth concussion in less
than two years at the first tourna
ment of the season. After sitting out
since, with freshman Neil Phillips
filling in, he announced he was not
going to continue competing with
the team.
The rest of the Ducks take on the
Cardinals and the Aggies today when
they resume Pac-10 dual meets.
