The Oregon men and a small contingent of women will make the trip to Seattle this weekend for the Pac-10 Invitational.
The men will be led by sprinter Samie Parker, who currently ranks 11th nationally in the 60-meter dash, and Adam Kriz, who ranks eighth in the weight throw. Kriz is coming off an outstanding performance at the Mountain Pacific Championships, where he threw a personal-best of 67 feet, 7 inches.
On the women’s side, the pole vaulters will be the only group traveling to Seattle. But it is perhaps Oregon’s most exciting unit, as Becky Holliday and Niki McEwen rank second and third, respectively, in the nation, and Kirsten Riley is ranked No. 24.
