Tale Of Two Trophies

When Oregon's men's track team won the Pac-10 title in Eugene three weeks ago, the public-address announcer informed the home crowd the Ducks won before the meet officially ended and a trophy was present to the champions.

``We had our own celebration on the track,'' USC sprinter Ahmad Rashad said.
