Women had three events: the 60y dash, mile, and 440.

Coos Bay's Fran Sichting (South West Oregon Community College) won the 60y dash in 6.86, Patti Loverock (British Columbia) was 2nd in 6.87, while Denise Anderson (Falcon TC) took third in 6.91. Note: these results were all recorded to the nearest tenth in the Eugene Register-Guard (1/28/73) and so all three athletes were credited with times of 6.9.

Francie Larrieu (San Jose Cindergals) won a spectacular mile in 4:44.20 with Debbie Heald (La Mirada) second in 4:49.03. Oregon Track Club's Debbie Roth was 3rd in 4:52.10. 

Maureen Crowley (British Columbia) won the 440 in 57.76, with countrywoman Cindy Roberge 2nd in 59.76. 

Fred Newhouse won the 500y in 57.65, while John Mays (6.1) and Al Hearvey (6.2) turned back future Olympic 200m champion Don Quarrie (6.2). 

Steve Smith (Pacific Coast Club) won the pole vault in 17-0; he had set the world indoor record the night before and in so doing became the first vaulter over 18' indoors (ER-G).

USC's Olympic Champion Randy Williams won the long jump in 24-8.5. UCLA's James McAllister was 2nd in 24-5, while Washington State's John Delamere was 3rd, also in 24-5.

Tom Woods won the high jump in 7-3.75 and was oh-so close on an attempt at the world record (ER-G).

Meanwhile, Steve Prefontaine set the American record in the two-mile in 8:24.61. Don Kardong (CNW) was second in 8:37.97 (though his place and time are omitted from the Eugene Register-Guard's results). 3rd in 8:45.91 was Peter Kaal of the Pacific Coast Club.

To this day, the sight of Steve Prefontaine running by himself on this old, well-worn, 11-laps to the mile wooden track remains one of my favorite images from fifty years in track and field.
