LC grad Henry Pac-10 champ

Spokane’s Britney Henry won her first Pacific-10 Conference championship Sunday and Oregon’s men and Arizona State’s women won team titles at the conference meet in Stanford, Calif.

Washington State’s women finished fifth with 67.83 points, 24 supplied by heptathlon champ Diana Pickler. The Cougar men were seventh with 84 points and finished without an individual champion.

Henry, a senior at Oregon from Lewis and Clark High School, got off a throw of 217 feet, 10 inches on her second attempt in the hammer and saw it hold up against the efforts of defending champion Eva Orban of USC. Orban had throws of beyond 216 feet on all three of her final attempts, but fell two inches short of Henry.

The Cougars top marks Sunday were third-place finishes by Pickler in the 100-meter hurdles (13.45 seconds), Justin Woods in the 100 (10.46) and freshman Trent Arrivey in the high jump (6-113/4) were the best of the day.

Spokane’s Jon Jeffreys led a 4-6-8 finish for the Cougs in the men’s javelin, and Pullman’s John Cassleman ran a season best 50.68 in a hot 400 hurdles race for fourth.
