Pacific-10 Conference Champs
Leary & Werhane Lead Harriers at Pac-10 Champs
10/29/05 | Cross Country
The No. 22-ranked Duck women posted an impressive third-place finish with 86 points behind No. 2 Stanford (first, 34) and No. 5 Arizona State (second, 40). No. 26 Washington followed in fourth place (111), ahead of
The
Freshmen Katie Leary and Zoe Nelson led the Ducks up front in 13th (
“It was a great day to run, and it was nice to have Zoe there to run with,” Leary said. “We were told to get out well, be smart in the middle and keep it steady, then pick it up the last kilometer ? and that strategy worked out well. The quality of the field was great, and will make it a nice stepping stone for the Regional meet.”
Since she finished in the top-14, Leary was an All- Pac-10 Second team selection, and the first freshman to lead the Duck women in the Pac-10 Championships since 1998 when Amy Nickerson (18th) paced the women to sixth as a team, and fellow freshman Tara Struyk followed in 20th place.
The rest of the current UO women's squad was equally new to the Pac-10 clash, and Saturday's 10 runners had only competed a combined six times in the race before, and included Pearson (58th-'04), Amanda Fitz-Gustafson (65th-'04) and Schaaf (74th-'04, 63rd-'03, 56th-?01), and Fitz-Gustafson also competed once for Arizona State in '02 (39th).
“Katie and I have been training together in practice a lot, so being next to her today felt natural,” Nelson said. “The course was an interesting one, and reminded me of the Foot Locker Championships at Disney World, with all the short ups and downs and turns. It wasn't easy, but it ended up being fun.”
Sophomore Sarah Pearson also moved up really well in the second half of the race (18th, 21:44) and was followed in a four-second span by another pair of UO newcomers - redshirt senior Amber McGown (19th, 21:47) and junior Dana Buchanan (20th, 21:48).
Other Duck entries included redshirt senior Sara Schaaf who notched her best-ever Pac-10 finish (50th,
Overall in the individual chase, Arianna Lambie of Stanford won by 20 seconds (
Individually for the Duck men, junior Patrick Werhane claimed All-Pac-10 Second Team honors with his 13th-place finish (24:41). The
“Coach (Lananna) wanted us to work as a team in the first half,” Werhane said, “then run individually if we wanted the second half. I didn't worry specifically about other runners or teams, and just tried to do my best, especially since we were one runner down and everybody need to help out. I really liked the course ? it had good footing and was well marked. It played to your favor if you ran smart; some runners went out really hard and paid for it.”
The next eight
“My plan was to stick with Chris (Winter) and Patrick (Werhane) for as long as possible, so they could pull me along,” Thomas said. “I knew I was in good shape coming in and wanted to prove it. Pat got away from us a little at 6K, but it was exciting to be able to stick with Chris the whole way and finish strong. It was a pretty challenging course, and a little steep at times, but not that different than some golf courses I ran in high school (in
Other Duck men's finishers included sophomore James Withers (43rd, 25:39) and Scott Wall (44th, 25:39), sophomores Vertin Alvarez (63rd, 26:30) and Esteban Trujillo (66th, 26:43) and freshman Duke Wasteney (72nd, 27:08).
The young Duck men's unit ? which had combined for only four Pac-10 appearances prior to Saturday (including Winter and Withers who were 39th and 67th last year ? ran well as a unit even without its leader and track All-American Galen Rupp, who missed the race because of a slight foot injury.
No. 4 Stanford won the team title with 46 points for its sixth straight title, and edged No. 7 Arizona (second, 78). Afterwards, only 39 points separated third through eighth places in the tightest team battle in recent memory.
The difference from third-eight places ranged between 84-125 points each year, and specific totals follow: 2004 (84 points), '03 (123), '02 (98), '01 (114), '00 (125), '99 (123), '98 (84), '97 (107)
Individually on the men's side, Arizona senior Robert Cheseret defended his 2004 title in the 8K race (23:57), and edged teammate Obed Mutanya (second, 24:13), Stanford junior Neftalem Araia (third, 24:19) and Washington senior Mark Mandi (fourth, 24:20).
“I can't say enough about how our teams stepped up today,”
