The University of Oregon's Hayward Field will welcome a mix of area collegiate and post-collegiate talent in a nearly complete event afternoon schedule. After Saturday, several Duck distance runners travel to the Stanford Invite the following week (Fri.-Sat., 3/25-26), and the sprinters, jumpers and throwers head to Tucson, Ariz., for the Jim Click Shootout (Sat., 3/26).
Last weekend in the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the men posted a best-ever sixth-place finish with 29 points, thanks to six top-eight efforts and eight All-America honors ? both school records. UO paced Pac-10 teams in the men's team standings and even led the overall standings the first day with 20 points.

2005 UO MEN’S PREVIEW: Balanced Corps Already Championship-Tested.
Eight Duck men’s returnees have accounted for two NCAA titles and two more runner-up honors among their 15 All-America track and field honors (Brett Holts-7th in steeple-04; Kedar Inico-6th indoors in 400-05; Eric Logsdon-7th indoors in 3K-05, 7th outdoors in 5K-04, 8th outdoors in 5K-03, Eric Mitchum-2nd outdoors in 110H in ?04, 4th indoors in 60H-05, 6th indoors in 60H-04; Matt Scherer-9th indoors in 400-05; Tommy Skipper-1st indoors in PV-05, 1st outdoors in PV-04, 2nd indoors in PV-04; Ryan Voge-10th indoors in hep-05; Leonidas Watson-4th indoors in LJ-05, 9th indoors in LJ-04). The squad also boasts a twice-decorated NCAA 4x400 relay that took fifth indoors in 2005 and outdoors in 2004, and two individuals that have combined for three All-America honors in cross country (Brett Holts and Eric Logsdon). At the Pac-10 level, two current Ducks have combined for three individual titles (Eric Mitchum 110H-2004; Tommy Skipper PV, Dec.-2004). On UO’s all-time outdoor lists, eight individuals rank top-10 with their collegiate bests ? Tommy Skipper (pole vault, first, 18-10.25, decathlon, eighth, 7,589), Eric Mitchum (110 hurdles, first, 13.38; 400 hurdles, ninth, 51.27), Matt Scherer (400, third, 45.95), Jordan Kent (100, eighth-tie, 10.46; 200, sixth, 20.99), Jeff Lindsey (high jump, 7th, 7-1.75), Leonidas Watson (triple jump, seventh, 51-5), Kedar Inico (200, ninth, 21.17), A.K. Ikwuakor (110 hurdles 10th, 14.09; 400 hurdles, 10th, 52.32), and the 4x400 relay of Scherer, Inico, Travis Anderson and graduated hurdler Brandon Holliday (first, 3:03.49).
2005 UO WOMEN’S PREVIEW: Field Events Again Pace Charge in ?05.
Three Duck women have combined for six All-America honors in the javelin ? Sarah Malone (javelin-7th, 2001; 3rd, 2004), Roslyn Lundeen (javelin-7th, 2002; 8th, 2003) and Elisa Crumley (javelin-13th, 2002; 12th, 2003), and Laura Harmon was similarly decorated in cross country last fall in 2004 (31st). Harmon and six other Ducks (Sofie Abildtrup, Emily Enders, Bree Fuqua, Britney Henry, Hannah Moore, Magdalena Sandoval) have made various NCAA trips indoors and outdoors the past two seasons and will try for their first All-America track honors this year. In the West Regional, Sarah Malone won the 2004 javelin title and is also a three-time Pac-10 runner-up. Current Ducks on the all-time outdoor top-10 lists include Sarah Malone (javelin, first, 179-2), Elisa Crumley (javelin, second, 169-7), Bree Fuqua (shot put, second, 52-8.75), Megan Kriz (hammer, third, 185-0), Roslyn Lundeen (javelin, fourth, 166-11), Emily Enders (pole vault, fourth, 13-3.25), Clarice Hayward-Lee (triple jump, fifth, 40-8.75), Katie Kersh (hammer, sixth, 174-11), Kayla Mellott (400 hurdles, seventh, 60.72), Rachael (Kriz) Wallace (high jump, eighth-tie, 5-8), Hannah Moore (pole vault, eighth, 12-6.25) and Maegan Traver (triple jump, 10th, 39-7).
NEWCOMER REPORT: Del Rincon, Hinchcliffe and Jordan Will Aim for Pac-10 Points in ?05.
Top Duck women’s newcomers in 2005 include junior and San Joaquin Valley CC transfer Lauryn Jordan (PRs - heptathlon 4,895, HJ 5-8.5, LJ 19-10, TJ 40-8.25), redshirt junior and Arizona State transfer Mandi Fitz-Gustafson (1,500 4:37.86, steeple 10:51.81), freshman sprinter Julie Schmidt-Scherer from Fredericksberg, Denmark (200 24.45, 400 54.97) and redshirt junior and Washington State transfer Brittany Hinchcliffe (HT 200-3). Other notable women’s newcomers include freshman Kasey Harwood (800 2:12.02-i), Katie Leary (1,500 4:36, 3,000 10:00.38), sophomore and Boise State transfer Emily Mathis (800 2:13.98, 1,500 4:44.31), freshman Kalindra McFadden (200 25.00, 100 hurdles 14.64, HJ 5-4.5) and freshman Sarah Pearson (1,500 4:36.17, 3,000 9:56.92). Although she has to redshirt the '05 campaign because of transfer rules, junior Britney Henry arrived in Eugene with the LSU school record (207-9) and was an NCAA and Olympic Trials qualifier in 2004 for the Bayou Bengals. The men’s newcomer list is headlined by junior sprinter and Grossmont JC transfer Richard Del Rincon (100 10.40-1023w, 200 20.87-20.57w), freshman Chris Winter (steeple 8:54.94), and junior and Lane CC transfer Cody Fleming (decathlon 6,741, DT 154-2).

Withers (800 1:53.21, 1,600 4:10.7) and freshman Brian Wuethrich (JT 194-6).
2005 NCAA INDOOR MEN'S RECAP: Duck Men Claim Sixth Place and Eight All-America Honors.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (3/11-12/05) ? In the 41st edition of the NCAA Indoor Men’s Track and Field Championships, the University of Oregon men’s team posted a best-ever sixth-place finish and 29 points, thanks to six top-eight efforts in the Randal Tyson Track Center. Individually, the Duck men claimed eight All-America honors among their nine entries, including their first-ever NCAA indoor crown courtesy of sophomore Tommy Skipper (pole vault, 18-4 1/2). Other men’s All-Americans included senior Leonidas Watson (long jump, fourth, 25-11), junior Eric Mitchum (60 hurdles, fourth, 7.73), the men’s 4x400 relay (fifth, 3:05.26), seniors Kedar Inico (400, sixth, 46.62) and Eric Logsdon (3,000, seventh, 8:04.27), and juniors Matt Scherer (400, ninth, 47.15) and Ryan Voge (heptathlon, 10th, 5,209). The only Duck not to place top-10 was redshirt junior pole vaulter Jon Derby who no-heighted. Their sixth-place team finish was the third top-20 NCAA indoor effort under head coach Martin Smith as Oregon took ninth in 2002 and 18th in 2004 with 15 and 13 points, respectively. The Ducks also paced the Pacific-10 Conference in the team results, and were followed by Arizona (10th, 20 points), Arizona State and Stanford (13th-tie, 15 points), USC (22nd, 10), UCLA (25th, 9) and Washington (28th, 7), while California and Washington State did not score. The UO men also led the league in NCAA indoor qualifiers (9), ahead of Arizona State (7), Stanford (5), Arizona (4 entries, 3 athletes), UCLA (3), Washington (2), Washington State (2), California (1) and USC (1). Looking ahead to 2006, the Duck men graduate only three scorers and nine points from 2005’s NCAA indoor meet. Overall in the team race, meet host and favorite Arkansas tallied 56 points to edge Florida (second, 46), Wisconsin (third, 43) and Auburn (fourth, 37).
2005 NCAA INDOOR WOMEN'S RECAP: Harmon Debuts on NCAA Indoor Oval.
Oregon’s lone women’s NCAA indoor representative, redshirt senior Laura Harmon placed 15th in the 16-woman 5,000 meters (17:24.21) in her third race of the season at the distance. The Vancouver, Wash., native matched her pre-meet seed the first day which was based on her season best and NCAA provisional mark of 16:18.56 which she ran in mid-February in the Husky Classic in Seattle. Harmon also bettered the NCAA provisional mark of 16:45.00 in the UW Invitational at January’s end (16:29.17). Harmon followed the lead of teammate Magdalena Sandoval who made UO’s first-ever NCAA women's indoor 5,000 appearance in 2004, and NCAA automatic qualifier with her school record (16:04.40) and a contender for All-America honors until the final kilometer when she faded from seventh to 17th because of a pre-race injury. In the 23rd edition of the NCAA women’s team race, Tennessee won its first NCAA crown with 46 points and became the seventh different school to win the indoor team title. Florida followed in second place (36), ahead of Miami (third, 32), Nebraska (fourth, 29) and South Carolina (fifth, 28).
2004 OREGON PREVIEW REVIEW: Duck M&W Combined For 15 Wins.
Eugene (3/20/04) ? In last year’s Oregon Preview, the UO women combined for eight wins, 10 Pac-10 marks and six regional qualifiers. Sarah Malone donned a collegiate uniform for the first time in nearly two years and won the javelin by 33 feet with her then-second-best meet ever (first, 175-7) that trailed only her school record from the 2002 Oregon Twilight (179-2). Transfer and then-first-year Duck Bree Fuqua added another throws win in the shot put (first, 48-10 3/4) in her Hayward Field debut, and won by three feet over former Oregon Pac-10 scorer Mary Etter (second, 45-10). In the hammer, unattached Duck and first-year transfer Brittany Hinchcliffe raised her then-PR by more than 10 feet (first, 197-1) to win the event by 22 feet, and transfers Megan Kriz (third, 171-7) and Katie Kersh (fourth, 170-7) added Pac-10 qualifiers equal or past the 170-7 qualifying standard. Pole vaulter Kirsten Larwin rode a favorable tailwind to a 1 3/4 inch outdoor best in the pole vault (first, 13-1 1/2), and easily met the Pac-10 and Regional standards. Unattached Duck junior Hannah Moore followed in second (12-9 1/2) with a three-inch outdoor best, and her third-highest mark ever behind her last two indoor showings of ’04 (13-5 and 12-11 1/2). Other wins came from Laura Harmon (1,500, 4:30.88) and Amanda Santana (400, 58.98). The Men of Oregon combined for seven wins, 11 Pac-10 marks and six regional qualifiers. Tommy Skipper made his Duck home debut and won the pole vault by 1 1/2 feet with a Pac-10 and Regional qualifier at his opening and final converted height (17-6 1/2), before he missed three tries at 18-0 1/2. In the 1,500, All-American Eric Logsdon clocked a Pac-10 qualifier (3:49.77). The hurdlers paced sprint action with wins in the 110 and 400 hurdles courtesy of All-American Eric Mitchum (13.91w, w:2.5) and Brandon Holliday (51.89). Mitchum’s time was just off his then-wind-aided best of 13.73w from the 2003 Pac-10 Champs, and Holliday’s was just over a second short of his then-PR from his 2002 Pac-10 victory (50.79). Transfer A.K. Ikwuakor followed with Pac-10 qualifiers and runner-up finishes in both events (14.66w, 52.93). Travis Anderson added a .15-second then-PR in the 400 (first, 46.94), and edged unattached Duck Kedar Inico (second, 47.33). Anderson’s mark easily met the Pac-10 and Regional standards of 47.84 and 47.26, and rewrote his prep best of 47.09.
THE ROAD TO SACTO: Explaining the Outdoor Regional Qualifying System.
In contrast to the indoor season where athletes qualify based on season bests that meet NCAA automatic and provisional qualifying standards, the outdoor season relies on a head-to-head regional system that features four, two-day regionals, drawn in a vertical fashion geographically. This year, Eugene is one of four sites that will host a regional Fri.-Sat., May 27-28, and regional qualifying standards are based on the 100th best performance nationally from 2004 (while all conference champions are also automatically invited to their respective regional). Except for the 10K and heptathlon/decathlon (which still operate on an automatic/provisional standard system), the top-five finishers from each individual regional event and top three relay placers automatically advance to the NCAA Championships, nearly two weeks later (June 8-11 in Sacramento, Calif.). Besides the automatic advancers from each regional, an additional 6-8 athletes nationally per event are invited by the NCAA Championships selection committee based on a season performance list (in case of injury, illness, false-start/DQ, etc.) as long as that athlete competed in the regional. Coaches hope that the easier regional qualifying standards (compared to previous national automatic/provisional standards) enable athletes to obtain marks during the regular season and avoid 'chasing marks', especially in mid- to late-May, while the regional competition encouraged head-to-head competition at the end of the season and increase fan and media interest. The switch to the regional method was made prior to the 2003 season, the same year the championships field sizes were increased approximately 40 percent. Most individual events were previously 18-21 deep with relays inviting 11-12 entries, and grew to 27-29 and 15-16, respectively. Previous men's and women's fields were set at 388 athletes among the 21 individual and relay events, and in 2003, the number expanded to 544 each.
HAYWARD FIELD PROFILE: Eugene Welcomed its Ninth NCAA Finale in ?01.
One of the most famous track facilities in the world, Hayward Field is named for Bill Hayward, who coached the Oregon’s men’s team from 1904-1947. Originally dedicated in 1919, the 10,205-seat stadium now boasts a standing room capacity of 10,505. In 2001, the venue welcomed the world’s fastest, strongest and most explosive to a Triple Crown of great meets ? the NCAA Outdoor Championships, Prefontaine Classic (www.preclassic.com) and USA Outdoor Championships. Altogether, nine NCAA Championships (1962-64-72-78-74-77-91-96-01) have visited Track City USA, along with three Olympic Trials (1972-76-80) and six U.S. Championships (AAU 1971-75, TAC 1986, USATF-1993-99-01). Since the NCAA started rotating outdoor championships sites in 1934, Oregon has welcomed more finals (9) than any other school. California follows with eight (although they haven’t hosted one since 1968), and no other school has hosted more than five. Looking ahead, the fabled facility will host the 2005 West Regional Championships (5/27-28/05) and 2006 Pacific-10 Conference Championships.
AT THE HELM: Duck Head Coach Martin Smith Profile.
In 2004, seventh-year men’s head coach Martin Smith also returns for his second season as women’s head coach. The 2002 Pac-10 and West Regional Men’s Coach of the Year, Smith has guided the Duck men to eight, NCAA top-20 finishes, 40 All-America honors and 17 Pac-10 individual titles combined in cross country and track and field. The UO men have claimed a league-best three straight top-two team finishes, including first in 2003 ? their first league title since 1991. At the national level, he led the ?Men of Oregon’ to sixth place in the recent 2005 NCAA Indoor Championships, a trio of ninth-place finishes outdoors in 2001 and ?04 and indoors in 2002, and three more top-15 cross country team finishes in 1999 (sixth), 2001 (13th) and 2002 (fifth). In the classroom, Oregon has featured 12 Academic All-Americans since 1999. At the league level, the UO men have led the Pac-10 in first-team all-academic picks in 2002, (4), ?03 (5) and ?04 (5), while 11 of last year’s 18 eligible women received first, second or honorable mention acclaim. Prior to his arrival in Eugene in July 1998, he served as the distance mentor and assistant track coach at Wisconsin, as his Badgers posted two cross country NCAA team titles (1982-88), five NCAA individual track and cross country wins, and 78 All-America honors (44 track and 34 XC). The Alexandria, Va., native made his initial mark on collegiate history as the Virginia women’s distance coach and guided the Cavaliers to consecutive harrier national crowns in 1981 and 1982, while individual Lesley Welch won the individual title in ?82.
ALL-AMERICA EQUATION: Breaking down the NCAA Honor.
Based on their NCAA Championships performances, individuals are awarded All-America honors by the U.S. Track Coaches Association. The top-eight finishers from each event are honored regardless of citizenship, and any additional U.S. finishers that are among the top eight American finishers are also rewarded. If necessary, the U.S.-based honors can even extend to the top performances in the preceding qualifying round if there are not eight Americans in the event’s final.
PICKS OF THE PAC-10: Skipper & Abildtrup Claimed Weekly Honors in 2004.
Freshman Tommy Skipper became the second Duck to be named track and field athlete of the week by the Pacific-10 Conference in the fifth and final edition of the award in 2004 (5/10). The freshman from Sandy, Ore., won the conference decathlon title in his collegiate event debut with an NCAA automatic score (7,589) that was 89 points above the decathlon auto standard, and 105 points better than runner-up Arizona State senior Joshua Kinnaman (second, 7,484). Skipper gave Oregon its fourth straight Pac-10 decathlon title and 11th overall including Pac-8 history dating back to 1965. Among final day marks, he led the pole vault marks by almost a full foot with his clearance of 17-4 1/2, was also 18 feet better than the field in the javelin, and also topped the field the first day in the 100 (10.69) and shot put (44-6 3/4). In the award’s opening edition on April 12, 2004, UO junior Sofie Abildtrup claimed similar honors for the women’s track category. The Saturday before (4/10/04), she helped Oregon to team wins over Colorado, Minnesota and Washington in the Pepsi Team Invite and claimed individual blue ribbons in the 200 (23.94) and 400 (54.49), and also ran a 54.40-second split on the victorious 4x400 relay. Looking back to 2003, the Duck men tied with USC for the most weekly Pac-10 Athlete of the Week honors with USC (4), among the five editions that honor both a track and field event performer. The Duck men claimed the most field event honors (2), USC held court for most track honors (3), and UCLA claimed the other field event honor (1). Among current Ducks tabbed last year, Brett Holts was selected in the men’s track category after he took the Pac-10 steeplechase lead with his four-second personal best in the Cardinal Invitational (8:48.81, Fri., 5/2). The week before (Mon., 4/28), Adam Jenkins was selected in the field event category after he leapfrogged teammate John Stiegeler to the top of the Pac-10 javelin rankings, thanks to his three-foot personal and six-foot, seven-inch season best in the Oregon Invitational (221-4). Another current Duck, Sarah Malone, won an honor in early May 2001 for her javelin school record and Oregon Twilight win (174-0).
2004 OLYMPIC TRIALS REVIEW: Malone Takes Second in Javelin.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (7/9-18/04) ? In the 2004 U.S. finale last July at Sacramento State’s Hornet Stadium, Sarah Malone claimed UO’s highest placing of the 2004 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials. The Newberg, Ore., native Malone took second in the 12-woman javelin final (Sun., 7/12) with a daily best of 177-11 (54.22m) on her final throw, and was edged only by American record holder and Nike entrant Kim Kreiner (first, 182-7). Her top-three Olympic Trials finish was the first step towards qualifying for the U.S. team for the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece (8/20-29). However, she fell short in subsequent attempts to meet the Olympic ?A’ qualifying standard of 198-5 (60.50 meters) by August 8. At the end of the season, she ranked sixth in the U.S. and 95th in the world with her Texas Relays school record (179-7) from April. Malone made her second Olympic Trials trip after she competed as a prep for Newberg High School in Sacramento in 2000 (eighth-flight, 156-11, 47.84m) ? the same year she ranked third among preps and 38th in the U.S. (Prep implement 172-0). On the men’s side, Eric Mitchum placed seventh in the first of two 110-hurdles semifinals and ranked 14th among the 16 finishers with his clocking of 13.53 (w:0.6) ? his second fastest-ever wind-legal time and third best overall (13.38-NCAA, 13.50w-Texas Relays). Former Duck Micah Harris also competed in the same race on the meet’s final day and ranked eighth in the section and 15th overall among the two races (13.55). Among collegians, Mitchum ranked third in the semifinal results behind Ohio State’s Joel Brown (ninth, 13.39, w:1.6) and Ole Miss’s Antwon Hicks (11th, 13.45, w:0.6). Mitchum ran two rounds the day prior on Saturday (7/17), and clocked times of 13.67 in both the prelims (third-fourth heat, ninth overall, w:-0.8) and quarterfinals (fourth-third heat, 14th overall, w:-1.1). Going into the meet, Mitchum tied for 11th with Harris on the 2004 U.S. season best list in the 110 hurdles with his NCAA runner-up time and school record from mid-June in Austin, Texas (13.38, w:1.2). Looking back over ?04, Mitchum ran 15 sub-14.00 clockings in 16 races overall, including 10 efforts that were faster than his preseason best of 13.73 that ranked him second in school history heading into ?04 behind former UO record holder Harris (13.67, 2002). On the opening event of the opening day of the meet, freshman Tommy Skipper just missed advancing to the pole vault final (Fri., 7/9). The Sandy, Ore., native needed three attempts to clear the opening height of 17-8 1/2, then missed his three tries at 18-0 1/2. The event’s youngest competitor, Skipper tied for 14th overall, and if he would have cleared 17-8 1/2 on one of his first two tries he would have qualified for the 12-man final. The prelims marks were all noticeably hampered by a steady to strong crosswind from right-to-left that caused havoc to many approaches in the short, one-minute window for each attempt. One victim was American record holder Jeff Hartwig who no-heighted at his opening bars at 18-0 1/2. Skipper entered the meet ranked 10th in the U.S. on the 2004 best list that included seven Americans that had cleared 19 feet indoors and outdoors.
