Preview. Fuqua placed first in the
shotput and discus events, while
Malone out-threw teammate Elisa
beth Crumley by eight feet to win first
place in the javelin.
Senior Fuqua then set a new Ore
gon shotput record during spring
break at the Montana Open with a
throw of 53 feet and nine inches.
“That mark will get her to Region
als, and she’s not done for the year,”
Oregon throws coach Lance Deal
said. “Bree is a fierce competitor.”
Deal hinted that Brittany Hinchcliffe
carries some of these same character
istics to the hammer throw event.
Deal, an Olympic silver-medalist in
the hammer, said he sees major po
tential in the redshirt senior who
transferred from Washington State.
Malone will be challenged in the
javelin event by junior Tiffany Zahn
of Washington, who is 20th in the
NCAA outdoor rankings. Duck jun
iors Crumley and Roslyn Lundeen
will also compete for high marks in
that event. All of the Ducks’ three
javelin hurlers have higher personal
records than the opponents they will
face this weekend.
Oregon is also looking forward to
another performance by multi-event
athlete Lauryn Jordan. The junior
transfer is slated to compete in the
100, shotput and all three.jumping
events. But what sounds like a
heavy workload to most doesn’t
faze Jordan.
“I’m used to it; I just like to
go out there and do what I do,”
Jordan said. “It’s preparing me for
the heptathlon.”

Men: Watson defends two titles from last year
Continued from page 5
Oregon and Indiana will renew a
brief rivalry that began at last
month’s NCAA Indoor Champi
onships, in which the Hoosiers fin
ished one point ahead of the sixth
place Ducks behind the strength of
long jumper Aarik Wilson. The red
shirt junior from Fallon, Nev., be
came only the fifth collegiate athlete
to capture both the long jump and
triple jump titles at the same indoor
collegiate event with jumps of
26 feet, 9 3/4 inches and 55-6 1/4,
respectively. Wilson added a region
al qualifying mark in the triple jump
last week at the Indiana Relays with
a jump of 53-4 1/4 and ranks second
in the nation in the event.
Oregon long jumper Leonidas Wat
son knows all about Wilson and his
titles, having finished third in the
long jump at the NCAA Indoor
Championships. The All-American
has set several school records of his
own, holding the indoor record in
both long jump and triple jump. His
jump of 25-11 at the Mountain Pacific
Championships in February is a
personal record and earned him an
automatic NCAA qualifying mark.
“I’m looking forward to (jumping
against Wilson),” Watson said. “It’s
going to be a good competition.”
In addition, Watson will be defend
ing his long jump and high jump
titles from last year’s invitational.
Watson won both titles with jumps of
24-2 1/4 and 48-10 3/4, respectively.
Also in the field events, Oregon
high jumper Jeff Lindsey returns
to action after missing the last
five weeks.
“I’d just like to really go out there
and get the crowd into it and maybe
get a regional qualifying mark,” Lind
sey said. “But really, I’d like to just
get a meet under me. But I’m excited;
we’ve been lifting really hard, and I
think we’ll jump pretty well.”
Lindsey is considered one of the
Ducks’ more consistent high jumpers
but will face stiff competition in Wash
ington freshman Norris Frederick. The
Seattle native has already cleared
7-0 1/4 during the indoor track season,
tying him for second all-time in Wash
ington school history.
Missouri senior high jumper Jesse
Sims will also look to contend for the
high jump title on Saturday. The Pao
la, Kan., native has already secured
an NCAA qualifying mark this season
and owns a personal high jump
record of 7-2 1/2.
On the track, Oregon will look to
take the 4x400 title away from
Washington, which won last year
with a record time of 3:09.14. The
Ducks won the 4x400 in last week’s
Oregon Preview. Sophomore Sol
Rexius and junior A.K. Ikwuakor,
members of the 4x400 team, also
took home titles in the 110- and
400-meter hurdles and will look for
two in a row on Saturday.
“I’ve been feeling pretty good com
ing off of nationals,” Ikwuakor said.
“I don’t like to give times for super
stitious reasons, but we will just wait
and see what happens.”
This season Ikwuakor has been
filling the shoes of departed senior
Brandon Holliday, Pacific-10 champi
on in the 400-meter hurdles.
“I’m getting used to it,” Ikwuakor
said. “There was pressure — Bran
don was a tough guy to replace.”
Oregon has won the invitational
nine times and has captured team
titles each of the past two years.
