though Eugene was the biggest city on
the West Coast.
I've listened and heard the stories.
I've heard about waking up at 6 a.m.
just to get in line for a 12:30 p.m.
game. Or waiting outside Mac Court
so a select group of fans could get
doughnuts delivered to them by Ernie
Kent.
I've even known people who have
traveled to Buffalo, N.Y., Seattle, El
Paso, Texas, Los Angeles, San Diego
and Las Vegas to see games.

Just because they could.
I thought that was all I had seen.
Then just the other day, I saw how
people responded to someone in
need.
No matter what l see from now on,
I'll never forget what it's meant to be
in Eugene for some of the best four
years in Oregon's athletic history.
I'll always remember.
The games.
The people.
The things I've seen.

received an automatic invite based on her
fourth-place finish at the NCAA West Region
al (52-8 3/4). The mark was a personal best
and puts her second on Oregon's all-time list
in the shot put.
My focus before this year has always been
to make it to nationals," said Fuqua, who is
seeded 23rd going into the event. "I've had a
few throws at some meets this year that have
been pretty solid. It'd be nice to end the sea
son with one of those. Usually a bunch of
people don't do well at nationals but I'm usu
ally a pretty good big-meet competitor."
Redshirt junior Laura Harmon also makes
her first NCAA appearance in the 5,000-me
ters after netting a third place finish at region
al with a personal best (16 minutes, 33.17
seconds). Harmon, who is competing in her
first year as a 5K runner, said she does not
know what to expect at nationals.
"I know I want to go to the finals," said Har
mon, who is ranked 21st in the country. "1 ex
pect the competition to be really good. I think I
have a pretty good shot to make it to the finals.
To be going to nationals is very special for me."
For All-American junior Sarah Malone, this
meet will be her third NCAA appearance.
Malone holds Oregon's all-time javelin record
(179-7) that was achieved at the Texas Relays
in Mike A. Myers Stadium — the same site as
this week's NCAA Championships. The New
berg native expects she will need to throw at
least 180 feet to defeat her rival, Inga Stasi
ulionyte from Southern California, who is
seeded first nationally. It is a feat she has yet
to accomplish so far in her career.
"If it comes down to it, it maybe that I'm
going to have to do something that I've never
done before, which is a little bit scary," said
Malone, who is ranked third in the country.
"Not knowing what 180 feels like and know
ing that I haven't done it yet and that might
be what it takes is a little bit of added pressure.
But if the conditions are good and my body
feels good, there's no reason that I can't throw
at least 180 or whatever it takes to win."
Other Oregon athletes participating at the
NCAA Championships include pole vaulter
Kirsten Larwin (9th, 13-6 1/4), heptathlete
Abby Andrus (13th, 5,325) and 400-meter
sprinter Sofie Abildtrup (24th, 52.92).

7-1 in Northridge, Calif., tying team
mate Jeff Lindsey for third place and
earning a trip to nationals.
"1 felt like I was due, since I had such
a hard time the past two years," Davis
said. "If my legs are feeling fresh (at na
tionals), I know I'm going to do some
thing good."
Etter excelled in the hammer throw
during his two years at Clackamas
Community College, but was having
trouble with the increased competition
at the Division I level. The junior was
still reaching 190 feet on a consistent
basis, but wasn't winning like he had at
CCC.
Despite having confidence in his
ability, Etter said he was amazed when
his toss of 199-0 was good enough for
fifth place at regionals and an NCAA
berth.
"It was definitely a surprise," Etter
said. "1 think it's a great opportunity
and it will set me up nicely for next year,
with the experience and the pressure
there."
Ikwuakor has had a solid season on
the track, but the sophomore usually
plays second fiddle to Mitchum in the
110 hurdles. The transfer from Colorado
missed his personal best by .01 seconds
at regionals (14.13).
On the track, redshirt junior Brett
Holts (13th nationally, 8:44.57) will
compete for Oregon in the steeplechase,
redshirt junior Eric lx)gsdon (13:48.12)
will run the 5,000, redshirt senior Ryan
Andrus (28:56.67) will run the 10,000
and senior Brandon Holliday will com
pete in the 400 hurdles (16th, 50.52).
Along with individual competition,
the Duck 4 x 400 relay team of sopho
more I ravis Anderson, Holliday, junior
Kedar Inico and sophomore Matt Scher
er enters the meet with the country's
sixth best time (3:03.49).
In the field, Lindsey will compete in
the high jump (18th, 7-1 3/4) and red
shirt sophomore Andy Young will be
Oregon's highest-ranked decathlete
(16th, 7,372).
