He jason reed 20972 ring to a proposed increase in the said under some of the task force [email protected] Editor Andrew Greif [email protected] (541) 365-5511 dailyemerald.com/sports Sports Just like Acosta and Eaton, Andrew Wheating finished his second year of classes at Oregon last week. Unlike all but a handful of University stu- dents, however, Wheating spent his finals week running for a national title — and came .01 of a second away from doing just that. After Wheating became the first Vermont native to ever run a sub-four minute mile at the Oregon Relays, he went on to upstage a visit by Barack Obama by running a then-U.S. leading 3:38.60 1,500 meters, sixth all-time at Oregon. Wheating is entered in the 1,500 and 800 meters and says he will definitely run the 800. His latest feat, a 1:45.32 personal best in the 800m at the NCAA Championships, leaves him third all-time at Oregon. It’s also the fifth-fasted entry for the Olympic Trials, and leaves him in position to make his first Olympic team. “I can’t wait to get out here and race,” Wheat- ing said. “I’m 20 years old, I’m shooting at a shot on the Olympic team. It’s a bonus. Four years later would be more pressure, but I’m just looking to have fun.” The men’s 800m quarterfinal begins Friday night at 8:20 p.m., with a final at 8:25 on June 30. Wheating possesses a finishing kick that has dusted more than a few would-be winners in the 2008 outdoor season. At the NCAA Championships, the 6-foot- 5 Duck went from third to a photo finish in less than 30 meters. During his 3:38 1,500m, Wheating ran the final 200 in an unofficial 26.1 seconds. You can be sure Hayward Field will be as loud as it’s ever been if Wheating is in the mix with 100 meters to go in the 800-meter final. dave martinez | senior photogr apher Home crowd favorites
