EUGENE - The University of Oregon men’s and women’s track and field teams rode blustery spring winds to 11 wins (7W, 4M) and 11 regional qualifying marks (8W, 3M) in Saturday’s outdoor season opener, the Oregon Preview at Hayward Field.

UO’s field event corps paced the women with wins in all four throws events and the pole vault.

Redshirt senior Bree Fuqua won the shot put (51-3 3/4) and discus (156-10) with regional qualifiers in both. The NCAA shot put veteran was only 1 foot, 5 inches off her outdoor shot put best from last season (52-8 3/4), and 7 feet, 3 inches off last year’s discus PR (164-1).

Redshirt senior Sarah Malone also braved 20-30 mph gales early in the day to win the javelin (150-11) over fellow All-America teammate Elisa Crumley (second, 142-6), as both easily topped the 141-6 regional qualifying mark. Crumley made her first appearance for the Ducks since the summer of 2003 after she redshirted outdoors in 2004 after fall season arm surgery. She last competed in an Oregon jersey in the 2003 NCAA (13^th, 153-5) and USA Championships (15^th, 133-3).

In the hammer, redshirt and unattached Duck junior Britney Henry won her Hayward Field debut (first, 201-2) over Team XO member and former UCLA All-American Cari Soong (second, 198-11). Henry joined the Ducks last fall and threw for LSU in 2004 (207-9 PR) and Southeast Louisiana in 2003, and will sit out this year due to NCAA twice-transfer rules.
