"The coaches have seen the poten

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

"I think Ryan Shaw and Chris Vin

"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

"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"

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

have the most upside, according to
the site.
"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.
