able to. Once I got over 17-11, tilings
started to really get rolling."
Skipper wasn't the only Oregon
athlete who found success at the Cal
State Northridge-held meet. Eric
Mitchum entered the weekend with
the nation's second-best time in the
110 meter hurdles (13.50 seconds)
and didn't disappoint.
The Calumet City, 111., native won
the event (13.72) by 0.14 seconds
over UCLA's Anthony Golston, con
tinuing an impressive sophomore
campaign in which he broke the Ore
gon record with a wind-legal time of
13.53 at the Texas Relays.
"It was not my best time or per
formance," Mitchum said, "but 1 tried
to stay focused, and come back and
get the win. I didn't worry about what
■J was ranked coming into today. I just
tried to run my race, and today was
still a good learning experience."
Elsewhere, on the track, sophomore
transfer A.K. Ikwuakor will join
Mitchum in Austin, Texas, for nationals

if 1 deared it, there was a chance we could both
qualify."
Larwin is expected to earn an at-large bid by the
NCAA committee based on her personal and sea
son best (13-6 1/4) from the Pacific-10 Conference
Championships two weeks ago, Smith said.
Junior Sarah Malone earned her third NCAA in
vite in the javelin throw and was Oregon's lone
winner in any one single event. The Newberg na
tive led throughout the competition and won
based on her third attempt of 173-10 over Wash
ington's Megan Spriesterbach (2nd, 167-3) and
three-time Pac-10 javelin champion Inga Stasi
ulionyte of USC (third, 166-2).
"On my first throw (164-5), 1 had an awkward
plant and kind of came down wrong and jiggled a
muscle in my rib cage," Malone said. "1 figured
that mark probably wouldn't hold up for the win,
so I tried to relax it as much as I could and give it a
few more tries."
Malone downplayed the win, knowing her
competitors had already qualified for the national
meet.
"First place wasn't that big a deal in reality,"
Malone said, "because 1 know Inga and others will
be ready to really go after it at nationals."
In the shot put, junior Bree Fuqua held onto
fourth-place after her first throw (52-8 3/4) to
claim her first NCAA bid.
Over on the track, Laura 1 larmon also took
home her first NCAA invite, placing third (16 min
utes, 33.17 seconds) in the 5,000 meters. Her time
rewrote her personal best (16:46.97) from the
Stanford Invitational in late March.
"1 knew from my workouts that 1 could quali
fy," I larmon said. "After I nearly tripped in the last
few laps, it took me a little while to regain my com
posure and my rhythm. Once I settled down, I
knew my foot speed could pull me through."
I larmon is Oregon's only runner to qualify for
the four-day NCAA Championships that begin
June 9.
