Senior Mary Etter will have her
work cut out with a personal best of
44-6 3/4 in the shot put, far short of
Frawley, who owns a personal best
of 49-111/4. Etter leads the team at
169-7 in the discus.
“Since I was a freshman, it’s been
180 in the disc,” Etter said of her
goal. “I need to keep working hard
and let as few distractions as possi
ble not get in the way. I’m hoping to
hit it this week because I was hitting
it in practice a few days ago.”
Minnesota also brings senior
Shani Marks, who placed 14th out
doors in the triple jump in 2002.
She has jumped nearly 43 feet,
ahead of Oregon’s senior Amanda
Brown at 40-8 3/4. Washington’s
Brittiny Roberts ranks second
among entries at 41-4.
Colorado brings an all-star list of
track athletes to the forefront after
the harrier team finished fifth in the
fall at NCAAs. Junior Sara Gorton,
who won the NCAA 5,000-meter
championship indoors, has the best
time in this weekend’s 1,500 at 4
minutes, 24 seconds.

Teammate Natalie Florence has a
time of 9:25 in the 3,000, second to
Washington’s Sabrina Monro at
9:20. The two will likely go head to
head as their times separate them
from the rest by 15 seconds.
Oregon’s Pac-10 rival will also fea
ture sophomore Kate Soma in the
pole vault as one of the few other
competitors who rank along with
the Ducks’ trifecta.
Soma ranks third in the entries
behind redshirt seniors Becky Holli
day and Niki McEwen.
The Huskies also have freshman
Lauren Digman in the 400 meters at
57 seconds, along with Minnesota’s
Kou Luogon at 54.80. But Oregon
senior Janette Davis owns the best
time of 54.76 and has a season goal
of running sub-54 seconds.
“If the weather is right, she may
run really fast,” Heinonen said. “I
don’t know if she is going to run un
der 54 but she’s going to run really
well.”
“There is absolutely nowhere bet
ter than this track, I can promise
you that,” Davis said of racing back
in Eugene. “This track is amazing,
and I just love it.”

Football

“Hopefully, on Saturday, that will
carry over, and that can carry over
into the season. From the beginning
it looked like we clicked pretty well.
Everybody had good continuity and
good timing.”
Both Allen and Williams spent last
season as backups, with Williams re
ceiving more playing time. He
caught five passes in 11 games
played while Allen saw action in
eight, catching three passes.
Taylor sat out last season as a red
shirt after coming over from City
College of San Francisco. Thus, this
year’s spring practices mark his first
chance to get early reps with the
Oregon offense.
“They’ve looked really good,”
quarterback Kellen Clemens said.
“The receivers are impressive. I’m
excited to see what they’ve got.
Demetrius Williams, Kellen Taylor,
Keith Allen; they all worked really
hard in the offseason. They’re going
to be really good.”
If anything, there was a general
enthusiasm from the Oregon players
before practice Thursday regarding
the planned scrimmage. After don
ning full pads Tuesday, the Ducks
practiced yesterday in helmets and
shoulder pads and stayed inside at
the Moshofsky Center because of in
clement weather.
Saturday is their first real chance
to show what they’ve got.
“I’m excited,” Clemens said. “Last
year, and it was kind of typical. The
offense, it takes them a while to get
going at the first scrimmage. I’m not
really sure it’s going to be the case
this time. I’m really excited to see
what we can do when we go live.”
