The Pac-10 boasts many of the nation’s top multi-event athletes, including five heptathletes ranked top 10 among collegians this year, while three league men have already topped the NCAA provisional 7,000-point barrier this season.
UO redshirt senior decathlete Andrew Young is the top returning Pac-10 decathlete from last year after he took second place (7,165 points) for his third top-five career finish, and is a two-time NCAA decathlon veteran (11th in ’05, 13th in ?04). A pair of women’s heptathletes ? redshirt freshman Kalindra McFadden and senior Lauryn Jordan - currently rank ninth and 10th nationally with their strong NCAA provisional scores of 5,428 and 5,426 points, respectively. McFadden and Jordan also moved to fifth and sixth all-time for UO with their heptathlon personal bests from the Mt. SAC Relays in mid-April. Last season Jordan was an NCAA qualifier and Pac-10 placer (14th/fourth) in her first season for UO.
The Pac-10 heptathlon field features four of the top-10 women on this year’s NCAA qualifying lists and includes a pair of returning All-Americans and current NCAA automatic qualifiers (national ranking and season best in ()) ? Arizona State sophomore Jacquelyn Johnson (second, 5,797) and Washington State’s Julie Pickler (third, 5,734). The WSU junior’s twin sister Diana Pickler also ranks top-five nationally in ’06 (fifth, 5,579) but was not entered this weekend.
In the men’s decathlon, Arizona junior Robert Arnold leads the Pac-10 season best list this season by 139 points and ranks seventh nationally with his personal best from the Jim Click Combined Events decathlon in Tucson in late March (7,470) ? only 30 points under the NCAA automatic standard. Two other league decathletes are NCAA provisional qualifiers this season - Arizona State sophomore Joshua Kinnaman (second, 7,331) and Stanford junior Josh Hustedt (third, 7,070).

In the heptathlon, the Yuma, Ariz., native Johnson redshirted the 2005 spring season to focus on basketball after she won the NCAA heptathlon title as a freshman in 2004 (PR 5,807) and upset the defending heptathlon champ Hyleas Fountain of Georgia. She returned to the multi- scene indoors in ’06 and won the NCAA indoor five-event pentathlon crown (4,287) by 20 points over WSU’s Julie Pickler (second, 4,267). Johnson won the 2004 Pac-10 title as a freshman (5,603) and also won the Pac-10 open high jump title the following week (5-9 3/4) and added eighth in the 100m hurdles. Later that freshman season, she took 12th in the Olympic Trials heptathlon as a 19-year-old. Julie Pickler won the Pac-10 title in Johnson’s absence in 2005 (5,569) and was six points better than her sister (second, 5,563), while as a freshmen in ’04 Diana was fourth (5,254) and Julie was sixth (4,938). At the NCAA level, Diane took sixth outdoors in 2005 (5,595) and 27th in 2003 (4,586, 6 events), while Julie was fifth as a sophomore in ’05 (5,650) and missed an NCAA invitation as a freshman by only one point.
Oregon also sports two athletes that are also ranked top-10 nationally in 2006 with strong NCAA provisional scores just under the 5,500-point automatic standard (season best and national rankings in ()) ? the nation’s top freshman in Kalindra McFadden (ninth nationally, 5,428) and senior Lauryn Jordan (10th, 5,426). Jordan was fourth in her Pac-10 debut last year with a then-279-point personal best (5,299), then upped her personal best again in the NCAA Championships (14th, 5,367). Besides, McFadden, several other league freshmen have topped the 5,000-point NCAA provisional standard in ?06, including Arizona freshman Shevell Quinley (5,260) and Stanford freshman Lauren Stewart (5,110).
Returnees on this years’ Pac-10 list that scored in the 2005 Pac-10 Heptathlon include Julie and Diana Pickler (first, 5,569; second, 5,563), Jordan (fourth, 5,299) and WSU's Katie Miller (seventh, 5,000) and UO's Roslyn Lundeen (eighth, 4,935). The redshirt senior from Victoria, B.C. Lundeen was only 13 points shy of UO’s then-top heptathlete (Lauri Tennant, 4,948, 1983) in her league debut last year.
The Duck trio are guided by first-year assistant coach Kelly Blair LaBounty who was a one-time NCAA heptathlon champion (1993), two-Pac-10 heptathlon champion (1993, ’94), three-time heptathlon All-American (1992, ’93, ’94), and two-time Olympian (1996, ’00). The Prosser, Wash., native still owns the meet Pac-10 meet record of 5,989 points from 1993, and her Duck best of 6,038 points from ’93 still ranks 11th all-time among collegians.
On the men's side indoors in 2005, Arnold broke the indoor conference record in the pentathlon (5,518 points), then upped it again in 2006 (5,607) during the regular season and in the NCAA Championships (fifth, 5,640). Kinnaman scored 12th in his NCAA decathlon debut in 2004 (7,402), 100 points ahead of Oregon senior Andrew Young (13th, 7,302). Kinnaman landed his first All-America honor in the indoor pentathlon in 2006 (eighth, 5,476). Hustedt ranks 19th nationally currently with his score of 7,070 points ? 1,343 points better than his preseason best of 5,727 points. The Sandy, Utah native has spent the last two years on a religious mission, and was a Junior Olympic All-American in the pentathlon as a prep.
Returnees on the 2006 Pac-10 list that competed in the 2005 Pac-10 decathlon include Young (second, 7,165), Oregon senior Cody Fleming (fourth, 6,980) and Arnold (sixth, 6,617), while Duck junior Tommy Skipper won the Pac-10 decathlon as a freshman in 2004 with a tally of 7,584 points. Skipper’s debut score ranks eighth all-time for UO and was an NCAA automatic qualifier that season.
Oregon freshman Alexey Shkuratov will look to hike his personal best of 6,708 points that came last year in Minsk, Belarus. This season he debuted for Oregon with a score of 6,585 points in the 2006 Oregon Invitational with respectable marks across the board for a season debut, but plenty of room to improve in every event.
Oregon redshirt junior Brian Bartow is Oregon’s other entrant and set his personal best in 2005 for Lane CC, and scored 6,671 points unattached at home in the 2005 Oregon Invitational decathlon.
The Duck men have scored top-two finishes in the event in each of the past six years, including four straight wins from 2001-04 by Santiago Lorenzo (7,617, 2001; 7,564, 2003), Billy Pappas (7,532, 2002) and Skipper (7,589, 2004), while Lorenzo finished second in 2000 at Hayward Field behind eventual NCAA champion Bevan Hart of California. Among the 21 events contested, Oregon’s 10 decathlon titles in Pac-8 and Pac-10 competition since 1965 ranks third most behind the steeplechase (21) and mile/1,500m (11), and is tied with the shot put (10).
The following Scoring Guides are handy but approximate guidelines for scoring in each event of the decathlon and heptathlon based on ratios for national class performers, although note that the point table gaps increase as the quality of the marks increases and lessens for less elite performances. Also included are average scores for each event for NCAA qualifying pace for the NCAA automatic and provisional scores in the decathlon (7,500 / 7,000) and heptathlon (5,500 / 5,000).

This weekend’s multi-event athletes will also take aim at the NCAA automatic and provisional standards in the decathlon (7,500 / 7,000 points) and heptathlon (5,500 / 5,000 points). Like the 10,000 meters, these two NCAA events base their invitations on season bests, and normally invite between the top 20-26 athletes in the events to the NCAA Championships, Wed.-Sat., June 7-10 in Sacramento, Calif.
The other 19 NCAA championship events base their fields on the top finishers from the four regionals contested nationally, Fri.-Sat., May 26-27, and the Ducks travel to the West Regional on the BYU campus in Provo, Utah. The top five finishers from each regional event, and top four relays earn NCAA invites, and an additional 6-8 athletes nationally per individual event are invited by the NCAA Championships selection committee based on a season performance list (in case of injury, illness, etc.) as long as that athlete finished top eight in the regional event.
A list of various regional and national qualifying standards is available in the STATISTICS dropdown link at the top of the www.GoDucks.com track and field page.
