REBUILDING
continued from page 9
section of the women's pole vault.
The Snohomish, Wash., native earned
a personal outdoor best in the event
with a mark of 12-9 1/2.
"I didn't have the best of practices
early (last) week," Enders said. "But I
saw the big winds the guys had yester
day, and that got me excited (tech
nique-wise).
"My first jumps were better techni
cally, and I was able get a good plant,
takeoff and rock back, but 1 wasn't as
sharp on my last make. The wind
wasn't as big as it was, but (it) still
helped since they were still mostly
from behind."
Redshirt junior Laura I larmon is an
other piece of the rebuilding and transi
tion process for the women's program.
Harmon, a middle-distance runner,
knocked almost 26 seconds off her
5,000-meter personal best two weeks
ago at the Stanford Invitational with a
time of 16 minutes, 46.97 seconds.
Harmon said she is happy and sat
"I think we're going to get
a lot better consistently.
I think things are starting
to come together more
with our coaches."
Laura Harmon
Oregon runner
isfied with her performance thus far
and hopes to continue improving af
ter each meet.
"It's good to start on the right foot
and to start off on the right track,"
Harmon said.
Harmon also credits the new
coaching staff for the new-found suc
cess of the women's squad this year.
"I think we're going to get a lot bet
ter consistently," Harmon said. "I
think things are starting to come to
gether more with our coaches. They're
helping, and people are improving."
Other Ducks that are seeing those
improvements in their efforts are red
shirt juniors Bree Fuqua and Rachael
Kriz. Fuqua, a transfer from Wiscon
sin, where she holds the Badgers' shot
put record, also obtained an outdoor
Oregon personal best of 50-11 1/2 in
the shot put at the Texas Relays.
Kriz added a regional qualifier at
the Stanford Invitational with a mark
of 137-2 in the javelin.
The women look forward to the
Pepsi Team Invitational meet Satur
day at I layward Field.

continued from page 9
disappointing loss to Michigan in
the NIT semifinals?
Two stats illustrate the value of
the Ducks' big men, who are for
wards Mitch Platt and Adam Zahn
and centers Jay Anderson and Ian
Crosswhite.
When those four combined to
score more than 20 points, the
Ducks had a winning record of 12
7. When the quartet failed to score
at least 20 points, Oregon was sim
ply average with a 6-6 record.
In two of the three wins during
the NIT Tournament, the bigs
joined to throw in 21 points. In the
Michigan loss, they combined for
only 16 points.
Also, in games where the defense
had at least two blocks, the Ducks
went 12-6. When Oregon failed to
record at least two blocks, they
went 6-7.
With Platt, Zahn and Crosswhite
returning next season, one of those
three will need to step up and be a
leader on the both ends of the floor.
Much like Okafor and Schenscher.
My pick to have the breakout
year: The 6-foot-8 Zahn.
Zahn has all the potential of be
coming a quality low-post scorer
and shot-blocker, but potential can
be a scary word if expectations are
not fulfilled.
Time will only tell if Oregon can
return to the national stage behind
their big men.
