“It was a weird day, but it’s over
and I’m looking forward to trying to
score as close to 4,000 points tomor
row,” Lorenzo said.
Fellow Duck Andy Young stood
16th in the 19-member field. Anoth
er Duck, Gabe LeMay, was forced to
pull out of the decathlon because of
a leg injury.
Lorenzo, who had 3,961 points,
trailed Dana Thomas by 94 points
and leader Maurice Smith by 182
points in the two-day event. The ath
letes competed in five events Wednes
day and will finish with five today.
Lorenzo stayed close to the top of
the overall competition despite finish
ing no better than third in any event.
In chronological order, he finished
sixth in the 100-meter dash, tied for
third in the long jump, seventh in the
shot put, tied for sixth in the high
jump and, finally, tied for fifth in the
400. His marks in the 100 and the
long jump were personal bests.
If Lorenzo is anything like his pre
injury self, he will only move up in
the standings. Today’s events are the
110 hurdles, discus, pole vault,
javelin and 1,500. Lorenzo is ranked
in Oregon’s decathlon top-five all
time in the javelin and pole vault,
and in 2001 he won the NCAA
Championships decathlon with a
gutsy eight-second personal best in
the 1,500.
“I got two personal bests today so I
know I’m not out of shape,” Ivorenzo
said. “Everything’s been going well in
practice, except the shot put, which
hasn’t felt quite right technique-wise.
I’ll just go back (Wednesday night)
and get some fluids and massage and
get ready for tomorrow.”
Triple jumper Derek Strubel and
hurdler Eric Mitchum will enter the
competition today for the men’s
squads as Lorenzo and Young finish
up the decathlon.
Six set to compete
for women
The Oregon women’s track and
field team will send six athletes into
batde today at the Texas Relays, and
they’ll blanket Mike A. Myers Stadi
um all day.
The Ducks will compete mostly in
the field events. Among the compet
ing athletes are high jumper Jenny
Brogdon, pole vaulter Georgette
Moyle, discus thrower Jordan
Sauvage and triple jumper Amanda
Brown. On the track, sprinter
Heather Murtaugh, hurdler Abby
Andrus and the 4x400 relay squad
will be in action.
Andrus is the one to watch for the
women. A junior transfer from Par
adise Valley Community College,
Andrus was the national junior col
lege runner-up in the heptathlon last
season. She’s set to compete in the
400 hurdles today.
