BASKETBALL
Oregon men’s basketball finishes outside AP top 25
— Oregon finished the regular season just outside the AP top
25. Despite winning 10 of their last 11 games to repeat as Pac-
12 regular season champs, the Ducks (19-5, 14-4 Pac-12) re-
ceived 67 points and are 27th overall in the AP poll, up from
15 points and 32nd last week following wins over Arizona,
UCLA and Oregon State. Colorado is No. 23 and USC is No.
24 in the AP poll. Oregon plays the winner of Arizona State
and Washington State in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals
on Thursday (11:30 a.m.) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
BASEBALL
Oregon State continues march up the rankings — The
Beavers moved up to No. 16 in the USA Today Coaches Poll
and the D1Baseball.com Top 25, and No. 17 in the Collegiate
Baseball Top 30. They also debuted at No. 17 in the Baseball
America Top 25 and No. 21 in the Perfect Game Top 25. The
rise up the rankings is a fitting reward for a team riding a 10-
game winning streak, the program’s longest since it won the
first 10 games of the 2019 season. The Beavers (10-1) extended
the streak in dramatic fashion on Saturday, using a walk-off
single from Jacob Melton in the bottom of the ninth inning to
beat the Cougars 4-3 and sweep the three-game series.
Cubs, Sox to let some fans into stands as COVID num-
bers fall — After a season of mostly empty ballparks in Chi-
cago, the famed marquee at Wrigley Field said it all. “Wel-
come home, Cubs fans,” it read. Thousands of masked fans
of the Cubs and White Sox will get to see their teams play in
person beginning on opening day, Mayor Lori Lightfoot an-
nounced Monday. Each team will be limited to 20% capacity.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
Blachowicz, Nunes defend titles at UFC 259 — Jan
Blachowicz defended his UFC light heavyweight title with a
unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Israel Ade-
sanya at UFC 259 on Saturday night, thwarting the reigning
middleweight champ’s bid to claim a second belt. Two-divi-
sion champion Amanda Nunes defended her featherweight
belt, beating Megan Anderson by submission 2:03 into the
first round at the Apex gym on the UFC’s corporate campus.
Aljamain Sterling won the bantamweight title when Petr Yan
was disqualified for an illegal knee strike in the fourth round.

Runners make their way along Galveston Avenue while competing in the 2019 Bend Marathon. The event was canceled in 2020, and has been
canceled again in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Marathon
Continued from A5
The Bend Marathon course
was to feature Bend parks,
neighborhoods and the new
paved trail through the De-
schutes National Forest (paral-
leling the Cascade Lakes High-
way).
King called it bad timing for
the popular event.
“Around the race time we
may be in low risk category
by then and able to have more
people getting together,” King
explained. “We’re just not in a
position where we can really
wait anymore. We’ve got to get
going on something. So that
was why we asked the council
to weigh in and give us a deci-
sion. We can’t just keep push-
ing it out.”
King said he had trouble un-
derstanding why his event was
not granted a special event per-
mit, while other similar events
“We’re just not in a position where we can really wait
anymore. We’ve got to get going on something. So that was
why we asked the council to weigh in and give us a decision.
We can’t just keep pushing it out.”
— Marathon co-organizer Max King
have been allowed to take place
in-person over the last year,
including the Haulin’ Aspen
marathon and half-marathon
in Bend last August and the
Happy Girls half-marathon in
Sisters last November. Also, the
the Salmon Run half-mara-
thon, 10K and 5K is being held
at Pronghorn Resort northeast
of Bend on April 10.
“We obviously don’t want to
spread the disease, and that is
what people are risk adverse
to,” King said. “When we look
at other things that are already
happening in the community,
such as Mt. Bachelor, restau-
rants and retail being open,
and the lack of spread in out-
door events and the risk being
really, really low, I don’t agree
with where they’re coming
from.”
King and Strang were also
planning to decrease aid sta-
tions, require masks at the start
and finish, and not allow spec-
tators.
“Washington has guide-
lines for race-specific outdoor
events like ours, that allow
wave starts and a reason-
able number of people,” King
said. “That’s where we got our
guidelines from. It’s hard when
you’re looking at other things
and you feel like there’s a dou-
ble-standard. It makes it tough
to say, ‘We won’t do this in the
name of safety,’ when there are
other things happening in the
community.”
The 2021 Bend Marathon
will still offer a virtual option,
as it did last year. Participants
can run their distance wher-
ever and however they want
from April 12 to May 25, and
then upload their finishing
time to bend-marathon.com.
“We want to hype it up and
make it fun for people,” King
said. “We don’t want it to be
just an afterthought. We’ll do
some fun events around the
race time and some fun videos
about training.”
And for now, the plan is cer-
tainly for an in-person Bend
Marathon in 2022.
“Hopefully we’ll be out of
using risk categories by next
spring,” King said, “and we
won’t have to worry about
maximum event size.”
