Pole vaulters battle wind,
find success at UO Invite
Trevor Woods and Jon Derby
place second and third
respectively Saturday and
both set outdoor season bests
By Jon Roetman
Sports Reporter
With winds gusting harder than
three meters per second Saturday, a
pair of Oregon pole vaulters made the
necessary adjustments for a quality
showing at the Oregon Invitational.
Senior Trevor Woods improved his
2004 outdoor season best, clearing
the bar at 17 feet, 1 inch en route to a
second place finish behind Matt
Phillips of the Willamette Striders
(first, 17-9). Woods'previous outdoor
season best was 16-9 1/4, which he
set at the Pepsi Team Invitational.
The Coos Bay native garnered All
American status during his sophomore
and junior seasons and is poised to
make a run at a third such honor.
"Trevor's getting back with that
vault over 17 feet," Oregon head
coach Martin Smith said.
Redshirt sophomore Jon Derby fin
ished third while setting a 2 1/2 inch
personal best at 16-9 1/4. The North
Bend native was especially happy with
his mark after recording no heights
during his last two meets.
"It felt pretty good," Derby said.
"Coming off of two no heights, it's
nice to actually come into a (personal
record). It helps the confidence a lot."
Derby said the reasons for his suc
cess were his choice to drop down to a
shorter pole and his ability to adjust
his footwork to compensate for the
gusting wind.

"I've never felt wind that strong,"
Derby said. "It's hard to actually ad
just your step to it. A couple of times
you take off really far under and a
couple of times you take off really far
out. It's hard to get the step on, but af
ter that, the wind helps a lot. It's like
having somebody throw you."
Taking a break
Sophomore Eric Mitchum won
the 400-meter hurdles (52.30 sec
onds) for the second time in three
weeks at Hayward Field but did not
compete in his signature event, the
110 hurdles.
Smith said the Oregon coaching
staff didn't want to overuse Mitchum
on a windy day with the Pacific-10
Conference Championships only
three weeks away.
"We don't want to overrace him,"
Smith said. "He's really in a rhythm in
the 110 hurdles and we needed to do
work in the intermediates without over
working him or overextending him. We
were hoping there would be a little less
breeze, because that's really a factor in
the intermediates. I mean, he had tights
on out there. I said, 'Eric? You're getting
soft out there kid.'"
Mitchum said he was happy to
win the 400 hurdles, but he won't
bring his time into consideration be
cause of the heavy winds.
"The temperature was all right, but
the wind was kicking," Mitchum said.
"It was real hard on the backstretch."
Back to work
While Matt Scherer was happy with
his 2004 outdoor debut Saturday in
the 400, the sophomore knows he has
a lot more work to do.
The Sumner, 111., native won the
event (47.11) after nursing a right
hamstring injury. Scherer said the
meet's purpose was to continue work
ing toward the Pac- 10s.
"I just wanted to come out here and
give my leg a really good test" Scherer
said. "My main focus right now is the
Pac- 10s. I just want to be ready for that"
Oregon coaches were impressed
with Scherer's race and feel he can
make considerable progress during
the next three weeks.
"Coach (Dan) Steele was really
pleased with Matt's first race since in
doors," Smith said. "It was really
windy and he ran a 47.11 and stayed
healthy. We'd like to think he'll take
some more steps over the next couple
of weeks."
