Junior Patrick Werhane will repre sent the Oregon team in the national meet this weekend. “I was relieved when I heard I got the bid to go,” Werhane said. “It could have gone either way, so I didn’t want to get my hopes up. When I found out I was going, I was really excited. All my hard work has really paid off. ” Late in the season Oregon’s num ber one runner, Galen Rupp, was re moved from racing because of a foot injury. This moved Werhane into the team’s leadership position. The NCAA Championships is ar guably the toughest meet of the sea son, allowing elite collegiate run ners across the nation to go head-to-head. To compete in the race, each runner must be selected by the NCAA to compete individually or on a qualifying team. “I feel a little bit of pressure be cause I want to represent the Univer sity of Oregon well, but also I don’t want to let my team down,” Werhane said. “You really want to run well for the guys on my team. ” Werhane will compete with more than 250 runners from 18 teams and 13 additional at-large teams at Saturday’s race. — Kim Gaviglio Men: Ducks have viable options in low-post Continued from page 5A which includes an 0-28 record last season under sixth-year head coach Horace Broadnax. * Entering the season, Broadnax had amassed a 42-88 record at Savannah State. The Tigers return one starter from last year’s squad, 6-foot-2 guard Michael Bennett, who averaged 6.9 points per game. Oregon, however, understands that the focus heading into Sunday’s opener will primarily be on making the necessary adjustments. “We definitely have some things we need to work out right now,” forward Adam Zahn said. “Our competition is important, obviously, but we’re focusing on getting our selves where we need to be for the Pac-10 season.” Duck fans packing McArthur Court for the season opener will see many fa miliar faces but some recognizable dif ferences for Oregon in addition to gained maturity from a team that start ed three freshmen last season. “We’re still a running team. We’ve got to get in transition. We definitely need that post presence, but (running is) still our game. ” Aaron Brooks | Point guard In recent years, Oregon’s tendency has been to push the ball in order to utilize its speed in transition, result ing in easy buckets and opportunities for open perimeter shots. The Ducks hoisted 170 shots from beyond the arc a year ago. While the transition game again remains a focus with the return of talented guards like Brooks, an All Pac-10 guard and Pac-10 All-Fresh man performers Hairston and Bryce Taylor, newcomer Ivan Johnson and sophomore seven-footer Ray Schafer provided Oregon with viable low-post options in its two exhibition contests. Splitting duties, Schafer and Johnson poured in a combined 44 points in the two games, while the Ducks shot an unusually low 20 total three-pointers. “We’re still a running team,” Brooks said. “We’ve got to get in transition. We definitely need that post presence, but (running is) still our game.” landrews® daily emerald, com Women: Transfers bring versatility to Ducks Continued from page 5A team the advantage. ” Nevada has improved over last season, when the Wolfpack finished 8-22 and in 10th place in the West ern Athletic Conference. Sophomore guard Meghan McGuire averaged 13.2 points and made 32 three-pointers in 2004-05. In exhibition games against Bay Area Pro-Am and Sonoma State, McGuire scored 11 and 23 points, respectively. Freshman newcomer Brandi Fitzgerald is a versatile player who can play point guard through the post positions. Evelina Janisyte is a 6-foot-5 community college transfer who can match the size of Shetters. Oregon will again be tested in the post after facing Temple’s All America candidate Candice Dupree last week. Sabrina Keys, a 6-foot-2 forward, transferred from Purdue and is a physical player down low. She played sparingly for the Boilermak ers and will gain more time at Neva da. She had 16 points and seven re bounds in Nevada’s first exhibition game and 10 points the second. While she hasn’t seen film yet, Davis said know Nevada is a trap ping team and have been preparing for that in practice. r jdransfeldt@ daily emerald, com Kate Horton | Photographer Freshman guard Tamika Nurse drives by a Saint Francis (Pa.) defender in Oregon’s season opening 80-30 win Nov. 11.
