Men third, women seventh in Pac-10 tourney
Oregon seniors shine, but Stanford dominates

FREELANCE SPORTS REPORTER
In the Pacific-10 Conference
Championships, Oregon's three sen
iors — Ryan Andrus, Eric Logsdon
and Laura Harmon — made
their final run at a conference
r
championship a memorable one.
Harmon, who battled a minor
hamstring injury earlier in the
week, finished fourth overall in the
6K race (20 minutes, 56 seconds) at
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco,

previous best showing at the league
finals (19th, 2002).
“(My hamstring) felt pretty good
today, and I’m looking forward to
regionals,” Harmon said. “Each race
1 get more and more confident
and closer to my goal of getting
to nationals.”
Harmon’s top-six finish earned her
All-Pac-10 First Team cross country
honors for the first time.
In the following race, Andrus and
Logsdon finished eighth (24:39)
and 12th (24:44), respectively, in
the 8K men’s championship, lead
ing the Duck harriers to a third
place finish. Their placing in the
top-12 garnered both athletes Pac
10 Second Team honors for the sec
ond year in a row.
“We went through the first mile
in 4:42 and were about 20th, then
started to gradually move up and
were about 12th or 13th with a mile
to go,” Andrus said. “Afterwards, I
felt pretty good and was happy how
it turned out.”
Sophomore’s Patrick Werhane
and Kyle Alcorn both finished
strong for the Ducks, finishing 22nd
(25:09) and 25th (25:15), respec
tively. Their outings, along with
freshman Chris Winter’s 39th place
finish (25:41), contributed to the
Duck men’s 105-point third-place
finish. Two-time defending national
champion Stanford won the
meet with 37 points, followed by
ninth-ranked Arizona State with
64 points.
“I’m proud of how they ran today,”
head coach Martin Smith said.
Smith said the race was the
best of the season for the young
Duck squad.
“This was a tough course and a
tough field,” Smith said about the
meet, which consisted of four other
top-40 teams. "The guys showed
patience and determination, espe
cially in the critical last one to
two miles, where every place is
so important.”
Logsdon agreed with his coach.
“The team ran really well,” Logsdon
said. “This conference is so deep that
it is always going to be a good field. ”
As a team, the women finished
seventh (182 points) without two of
coach Marnie Mason’s top five run
ners. Freshman Katie Leary and
Heather Fitz-Gustafson were side
lined due to injury, leaving the
women’s squad lacking the depth it
usually enjoys. Junior Mandi Fitz
Gustafson, competing in her first
season since 2002, placed 37th
(22:17) for the Ducks, her strongest
finish of the season. Following Har
mon and Fitz-Gustafson were fresh
man Sarah Pearson (47th, 22:40),
junior Haripurkh Khalsa (56th,
22:46) and freshman Kasey Har
wood (72nd, 23:24).
Mason said she was disappointed
about not finishing in the top half of
the conference, but did see several
bright spots.
“Laura (Harmon) ran a great race,
as did Mandi (Fitz-Gustafson),” Ma
son said. “Sarah (Pearson) had an
other good, consistent effort, and all
the freshmen are being challenged
by a whole new level of competition

and learning so much every race.
We have a lot to look forward to as
we mature and add more talent
each year. ”
No. 1 Stanford won the meet (30
points) with four runners in the top
10. Arizona State (second, 47 points)
and Washington (third, 100 points)
followed the Cardinal women.
The men and women’s teams have
an off-week this weekend before they
head to Fresno, Calif., on Nov. 12
for the NCAA West Regional
Championships.

Roetman: Both sides of ball need strength
Continued from page 11A
with one of its touchdowns coming
late in the fourth quarter when the
game was all but decided.
For the second straight week,
wide receiver Marcus Maxwell cost
quarterback Kellen Clemens an in
terception by knocking a ball into
the air. Midway through the second
quarter, Clemens fired a strike to
Maxwell in the end zone, which
would have given Oregon a 17-3
lead. Instead, the ball bounced off
the senior receiver and was inter
cepted by Husky defensive back
Dashon Goldson.
Long said the Ducks aren’t sure
which side of the ball will excel from
week to week.
“We were an offensive team
against Washington State, we were
a defensive team last week and this
week too,” Long said. “It just de
pends on who we’re playing. You
just don’t know what you’re going
to get.”
While Oregon’s four game win
ning streak is impressive, it has
come against the bottom-feeders of
the Pac-10. With a huge game
against California coming next Sat
urday, and tough games against
UCLA and Oregon State to follow,
the Ducks better find a way to per
form on both sides of the ball or the
only things that will be consistent
for the Ducks will be losses.
