SPORTS BRIEFING TRACK AND FIELD After setting collegiate record, Oregon’s Cooper Teare gets national honor — Oregon has competed in two meets so far this indoor season and set collegiate records in both. They’ve also produced the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s national men’s Division I ath- lete of the week. Cooper Teare, who led the fastest 1-2 finish in the history of the NCAA indoor mile, earned the national rec- ognition Tuesday. Oregon’s Charlie Hunter earned the same recognition two weeks ago. Last Friday at the Tyson Invita- tional in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Teare set the collegiate record with a 3-minute, 50.39-second performance, breaking the previous record held by former Oregon star Edward Cheserek, who ran 3:52.01 in 2017. The senior was quickly followed across the line by teammate Cole Hocker in 3:50.55, the sec- ond-fastest collegiate time. Hocker, a 19-year-old sophomore, also recorded the fastest American U20 indoor mile time in history. Teare and Hocker rank seventh and eighth, respec- tively, on the world all-time performance list. Chris Pedota/AP file Jordan Spieth now has gone 80 individual tournaments worldwide since his last victory at Royal Birkdale in the 2017 British Open. Golf Continued from A5 Never having a chance to win on the weekend, having to make a 12-foot par putt on the 18th hole just to make the cut at the Masters or missing the cut left him numb. That’s worse than the sting of missing out on a chance to win on the back nine. The next step is doing away with all the drama. Spieth knows his game isn’t as sharp as it was or as it needs to be, so there was some small satisfaction in still being able to take a lead into the final round. “But at the same time, it’s very difficult to go out know- ing that you don’t have your best stuff and to go out there with my own expectation that I’m going to win,” he said. “I just hope that I continue to progress like this to where I can stand on that first tee as confident as I historically have been and ... I can go out and play boring golf and just hit a bunch of greens and make it a really easy 18 holes to win a golf tournament.” Easy as it once seemed to be. Hard as ever now. “I’ve never seen such an unfair race. Parallel races have to be straight. You can’t have the course turning like that. Whoever started on the blue course in the first run had already practically won. I’m really angry and I don’t know if I’ll get over it.” hill standout who is out for the season after injuring her knee a week before the worlds. Earlier Tuesday, Bassino only just made the cut after qualifying also ended in confu- sion. Official result sheets did not specify which 16 racers ac- tually advanced to the knock- out phase. Ranked 17th, the Italian seemed out of the race until it became clear that it wasn’t the 16 fastest skiers overall who advanced, but but the top eight from each course. That rule saved the Italian, who was eighth-fastest on the red course. Bassino said she felt “sorry” to have eliminated her team- mate Brignone in the quarter- finals. “But that’s our sport. We have to fight one against one other,” she said. BASKETBALL Spurs have 4 players positive, Atlanta has All-Star concerns — The San Antonio Spurs are dealing with a coro- Skiing navirus outbreak among four players, the NBA said Tues- day, meaning the team will not play until the middle of next week at the earliest. Meanwhile, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms — whose city was picked to play host to the NBA All-Star Game and skills competitions on March 7 — raised major concerns about the notion of fans coming to the city for the events. “People should not travel to Atlanta to party,” she said. The NBA on Tuesday postponed five more games: the next three for the Spurs — at Cleveland on Wednesday, at New York on Saturday and at Indiana on Monday — as well as the next two for the Charlotte Hornets while contact trac- ing is completed. Their games are halted because they were the last team to play the Spurs, losing to them on Sunday. Continued from A5 — Bulletin wire reports MEGA MILLIONS The numbers drawn Tuesday night are: 1 36 44 54 66 10 x 3 Oregon Lottery results The estimated jackpot is now $XX million. As listed at www.oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites Loic Meillard won bronze for Switzerland in the men’s race after beating Alexander Schmid of Germany in the small final. River Radamus reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to Zubcic. The confusion over finishing times was not the only issue affecting the event. Once again at a parallel race, the two courses were not equally fast, with almost all runs won by the skier on the red course on the right side. The racers switched sides be- tween runs, so they had one go at each course, but it was an advantage to have the faster course for the second run. And the courses were not straight, either. “It was the most unfair and — Federica Brignone, who lost an all-Italian quarterfinal against Marta Bassino absurd race,” said Federica Bri- gnone, who lost an all-Italian quarterfinal against Bassino. “I’ve never seen such an un- fair race. Parallel races have to be straight. You can’t have the course turning like that,” she added. “Whoever started on the blue course in the first run had already practically won. I’m really angry and I don’t know if I’ll get over it.” Bassino acknowledged “there’s always some contro- versy in parallel. But at least today everyone got to run on both courses.” Sharing the win with Liens- berger, Bassino earned host nation Italy its first medal after seven events. “Finally. We don’t have the crowd but now I have a medal so I can think (about) the GS without pressure,” said Bassino, who is a favorite in Thursday’s giant slalom after winning four World Cup races in the disci- pline this season. Bassino dedicated the win to her team and injured team- mate Sofia Goggia, the down-
