SITUATION continued from page 7A heralded running back Terrell Jack son arrives from Moreno Valley, Calif., in the fall. "The coaches have seen the poten tial I have," Vincent said. "It was just my part to bring it out. "It's going to be the same thing as last year; the battle to see who's going to be No. 1." So far, so good this spring for Vin cent. "I think Ryan Shaw and Chris Vin cent have made the most of their op portunities this spring," Bellotti said. "Each has taken the opportunity to step forward and show some things I feel good about." Aiming for Saturday The 2004 NFL Draft got a little bit murkier Monday when it was ruled that Ohio State's Maurice Clarett and Southern California's Mike Williams would not be eligible for selection. The two, among a few other less notables, were denied early entry when the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals "put a hold on a lower-court decision to allow" them to declare their intentions, according to the As sociated Press. What does that do for the group of Oregon athletes determined to hear their name called, beginning Satur day? Probably not much. No former Ducks have been ru mored to go in the first round, accord ing to a number of online mock drafts. In a mock draft on ESPN.com, de fensive tackle Igor Olshansky is slated to be the first Duck picked. If the chips fell as the Web site predicted, he would go to Tampa Bay at 79th over all (third round). Two picks later, fellow defensive tackle Junior Siavii is predicted to go to New Orleans. Olshansky and Siavii might be the least publicized of the Oregon players entering the draft, when compared to Sarnie Parker and Keith Lewis, but SUCCESS continued from page 7A "While Anderson said the 400 in volves a good start and the ability to stay relaxed, the 200 doesn't leave much time for strategy. "There isn't much thinking in volved in the 200," Anderson said. "It's all out from start to finish." Bound for the Olympics? Eric Mitchum did more than just break an Oregon record when he recorded a time of 13.53 in the 110 meter hurdles Sunday at the Mt. SAC Relays. By finishing in under 13.55 sec onds, the sophomore All-American qualified for the Olympic "A" EIGHTH continued from page 7A then recorded eight straight pars but finished with a disappointing bogey on the 9th, her final hole of the day. McCready's 75 moved her into a tie for 10th. She is now in position to challenge the best-ever finish by an Oiegon rookie at the conference tour nament, a distinction currently held by Oregon head coach Shannon Rbuillard who tied for 13th in 1992 in Tempe, Ariz. "Kim (McCready) just kept rolling in pars, which is a very good score on this course," Rouillard said. "Therese (Wenslow) showed some real character out there not only by coming back strong after yesterday's round, but also by birdieing three of her last four holes when she could have just given up." Sophomore Michelle Timpani also made a big move Tuesday with her standard, meaning USA Track & Field will pay for Mitchum to compete at the 2004 IJ.S. Olympic Team Trials in Sacramento, Calif., on July 9-18. While Mitchum has other things to worry about before July, competing for a chance to go to the Olympics is one of many feats the Calumet City, 111. native wants to take part in during his time at Oregon. "I'm trying to take it to the next lev el," Mitchum said. "I want to keep im proving my times and keep getting stronger, faster and more technical each year." Mitchum's time Sunday of 13.53 topped his previous wind-legal best of 13.70 from the Pepsi's two weeks ago and nearly topped his blazing wind aided best of 13.50 on April 3 at the Texas Relays. second-round 79. Timpani moved into a tie for 27th with teammate Johnna Nealy. Junior Jess Carlyon, playing as an individual, finished 53rd after shooting a second-round 85. Sophomore Erin Andrews fired an 80 to finish in a tie for 38th. Junior Johnna Nealy was the only player to move down the leaderboard. Nealy was tied for 12th after the first day, but an 82 in the second round dropped her into a tie for 27th. "I was very proud of the way the team came back after a difficult first round," Rouillard said. "There was definite improvement today for just about everyone." Tournament leader UCLA tight ened its grip on first place with a sec ond-round 297. The final round of the Pacific-10 Championship tees off today at 8:30 am.

"The good news is that (Olshan sky) is a very promising developmen tal prospect," writes Scouts, Inc., which provides analysis for ESPN.com. "The bad news is that a team would likely have to draft him at a spot higher his current value war rants. Olshansky's stock should rise because he puts up impressive work out numbers, but drafting him before the third round is a gamble." Theoretically, joining Olshansky and Siavii in the draft will be Parker (fifth round, 152nd overall, Denver). The highest pick from the Pacific-10 Conference? According to ESPN, that would be USC defensive end Kenechi Udeze, slated to go eighth overall to Atlanta. If SI.com had its way, Udeze would fall ninth to Jacksonville. The draft begins Saturday at 9 a.m. on ESPN. Contact the sports editor at hankhager@dailyemerald.com.
