Roslyn Lundeen and Elisa Crumley
enter the meet seeded fifth and
eighth, respectively.
“My body is starting to peak, and
the training is starting to wind
down, and I’m excited for region
als,” Lundeen said.
The two have faced adversity and
injury all season long, and neither
one has been able to crest the 160
foot mark and reach full potential.
“It’s been a constant uphill climb
so far this year,” Lundeen said. “It’s
been a shift, and we’re definitely get
ting to that time of the season where
it’s time to just go for it.”
On the track, senior Eri Mac
donald paces the Ducks with a
top-three ranking in the 800 me
ters. The three-time Pac-10 scorer
was .04 seconds from an NCAA in
vite last season and looks to not be
denied this time.
“It’s definitely something I can do
to get in the top five; I just have to
get myself in the race and run it,”
Macdonald said.
“If she’s ever gonna do it, this is
the time,” Oregon head coach
Tom Heinonen said. “Eri on paper
can make it. In reality, she got to
race better than she has in the
past five years.”
Heinonen’s other distance run
ners will compete in the 5,000 me
ters, scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Red
shirt senior Carrie Zografos is
wrapping up her Duck career while
redshirt sophomore Magdalena San
doval and freshman Nicole Feest are
just getting started.
“Magdalena and Nicole had such
horrible experiences in the 10,000
meters (at Pac-lOs) that they’re both
going to try and pace the race early
and race it late,” Heinonen said.
Oregon’s other all-stars, seniors
Mary Etter, Amanda Brown and Jor
dan Sauvage, will begin to wrap up
their careers as Ducks. Etter ranks
highest at fifth and will look to make
her fourth-straight NCAA Champi
onships appearance.
The action begins at noon today
with the women’s javelin and con
cludes Saturday evening as the
Ducks make their final statements
to go to nationals.

continued from page 7
Woods and Flaherty are two of 13
Oregon athletes or relay teams
ranked between sixth and 15th in the
west region heading into this week
end’s meet. Seven Ducks, including
Parker, are ranked in the top five of
their event and nine are ranked 16th
or worse. That 6-15 group will be key
for Oregon this weekend.
Short-hurdler Terry Ellis, who sits
at sixth heading into today’s 110
meter hurdle prelims, described the
6-15 predicament best.
“I like being the underdog,” Ellis
said. “That’s a position I’d like to be
in. I know if I have to beat one per
son, I’m going to beat one person.”
Then, of course, there are those
Ducks who don’t have to worry
about hitting top five because
they’re almost guaranteed to be
there. Senior Adam Kriz has a firm
hold of the West lead in the ham
mer, freshman Eric Mitchum came
in fast and has only gotten faster in
the 110 hurdles; he sits second in
the region. In the javelin, Adam
Jenkins has been solid all year, and
John Stiegeler is primed for a big
mark. And Foluso Akinradewo is
ranked fifth in the triple jump but
has been one of the most consis
tent Ducks all season.
Still, if the Ducks want to make a
splash at the NCAA Championships,
they’ll have to jump into the pond
full-on at the West Regionals.
“Before Pac-lOs it was really
about team unity, bonding, scrap
ping for every single point you can
get,” Woods said. “Now it’s about
getting yourself into NCAAs. Now
the score takes on the individual
factor; take care of yourself, let the
chips fall where they may.
“When you get to the national
meets, people will lay down, and
people will come out of nowhere.”
The Ducks are hoping those ath
letes who “come out of nowhere”
are all wearing the green and yellow
of Oregon.
