Pac-lO’s loom for harriers
The Duck men and women are preparing
to travel to Washington State for the Pac-10
Championships in Pullman, Wash.

CROSSCOUNTRY
Both the men's and women's cross country teams head to
chilly Pullman, Wash., this weekend for the 2003 Pacific-10
Conference Championships.
A year ago at this time, the Oregon
men finished the Pac-10 Champi
onship second overall, behind only
eventual Pac-10 and National Cham
pion Stanford.
Oregon was led by then-sopho
more Ryan Andrus.
Stanford, which poses the biggest challenge to Oregon, is
n't a team the Dudes are looking to take down. The team ad
mitted it is shooting for second in both the Pac-10 Champi
onship and NCAA Western Regional on Nov. 15.
"We disassociate from Stanford," senior Brett Holts said.
"Beating them is not going to happen. But we know we can
be the second best team. We just need to go back there and
prove it was no fluke."
The women finished fifth overall last year. An eighth-place
finish from since-graduated Carrie Zografos paved the way.
Current senior Magdalena Sandoval finished 36th overall,
followed by 44th-place finisher Eri Macdonald, who is now a
senior with the Ducks.
This season, both Macdonald and Sandoval will lead a
young Duck squad into the Pac-10 championship and are
expected to have a stronger finish then the duo had a year
ago.
Rankings VI
In each of the six polls released by the media this year, the
Oregon men have fallen a few notches. The Ducks were se
lected as the pre-season No. 4 cross country team overall.
They've since plummeted down the rankings. The Ducks
were bumped down to fifth in the second poll, followed by
an eighth place ranking. Then it was back up to seventh place,
and now the team sits as the No. 18 in the country.
The men harriers don't pay much attention to the rank
ings, which do not qualify or disqualify a team from running
in any national meets. However, rankings do have some le
gitimacy. They serve as an indication of how the team has per
formed throughout out the year.
The Ducks need to nin well at either the Pac-10 Champi
onship or the NCAA Western Regional in Portland if they
want to ensure that they will make it to the NCAA Champi
onship in November.
"We think we have enough at-large points from earlier
races," I lolts said. "It should get us in if we have a terrible day
at regionals. But, we have left it to chance before and we were
left out.
"We had the best week of practice all year. We got back into
the grind, working hard, but a smart hard. We have an atti
tude that we will out work the other team and be tougher.
The team's hopes are up."
On the women's side, Oregon hasn't been ranked all year,
and the team did not receive any votes in the latest edition of
the cross country polls.

shots, we just didn't hit them."
Shetters shines
Shetters was one Duck who was
knocking down her shots. The tallest
prep recruit in the nation showed her
ability to hit from the outside as well
as the inside, drilling several shots in
the 15-to-18-foot range. She finished
with 13 points on 6 of 9 shooting.
"1 really feel like everything we've
been doing in practice came together
tonight," Shetters said. "A couple of
times in practice I've been struggling
with either my inside shots or my
outside shots. Tonight it all came to
gether, and I'm really happy about
that."
Defensively, Shetters has worked
hard on her technique.
"On defense, I'm just used to being
pounded on the inside because I'm
not exactly as big as some of the other
players," Shetters said. "It's all about
footwork, which is what I've learned.
All the practices have made me real
ize that I can be quicker than them."
Early season nerves
lunior guard Brandi Davis, who
was tied for the team lead in scoring
last year, got off to a slow start, but
finished by hitting her last three
shots. Davis attributed the Ducks'
shooting woes to strong defense and
the jitters that come with playing in
front of a crowd.
"(We came out) really excited be
cause this was the first time we've
played in front of the fans this year,"
Davis said. "If we get the proper warm
up that we need we'll be all right."
Exciting ending
Tuesday's scrimmage ended on a
positive note as players were exposed
to an end-of-game situation. Trailing
17-16 with 10 seconds remainin.
Ganes, who had missed 11 of her
first 12 shots, popped open in the
key and drilled a 10-foot jumper for
the game winner.

The struggle will be finding a groove
while still riding the tails of scandal.
Three months and one day have
passed since Gilbertson was official
r
ly named head coach. It's been twen
ty weeks since he was named inter
im coach.
He's barely had time to settle into
the head coach's roles, let alone plan
for a long future with Washington.
But with Neuheisel's scandals gone
and Gilbertson's lames-ian coaching
education at the helm, the Huskies
may finally have a winner as coach.
