ROSEBURG (AP) — A
college hall in Oregon where
a mass shooting took place
last year is set to be demol-
ished in October.
The demolition of Umpqua
Community College’s Snyder
Hall is scheduled to begin
the week of Oct. 17, The
O re g o n i a n / O r e g o n L i v e
reported. A new building is to
be ready for classes next fall.
The college closed the
building after Chris Harper
Mercer killed nine people
and injured nine others before
dying in a shootout with
police Oct. 1, 2015.
On Friday the college held
a moment of silence for the
anniversary of the shooting.
Anne Marie Levis, a col-
lege spokeswoman, said the
college had decided to hire
Andersen Construction to
build the new Snyder Hall.
Lawmakers have approved
$6 million to replace Snyder
Hall and improve security
across campus. The rebuild is
estimated at $4.2 million.
Part of that funding will go
to create a meditative garden,
which will occupy the ground
of classrooms 15 and 16
where the shooting happened.
16-team Oxford Classic,
hosted by Bend High School
at Drake Park, Friday,
September 30.
The girls team, ranked
third in the latest 4A poll,
is working on running in as
close of a pack as possible,
and met with some success
in that effort, according to
Coach Josh Nordell.
“Anna Bartlett and Sophie
Borders ran most of the rest
together and finished just six
seconds apart,” he said. “Tate
Ricker sort of ran solo in our
third slot, but Engracia Diez,
Molly Winter, and Zidane
Galant-LaPorte were within
24 seconds of each other
as our fourth through sixth
places.”
Bartlett led the team in
25th place (21:46), followed
by Borders (21:52). Ricker
was timed in 22:43; Diez,
23:38; Winter, 23:56; and
La Porte, 24:02. Hannah
Tobiason of Summit won
the individual title in
19:30 among a total of 117
finishers.
“For some reason, this
course looks like it would be
fast, but it is actually quite
slow, so the times are not
very meaningful compared to

majority of the schools in the
meet, which included teams
from Idaho, come from larger
classifications than Sisters.
The girls will get a real
taste of how they compare
to other 4A teams at next
Saturday’s Paul Merriman
Invitational hosted by
Philomath High School.
Twenty-one 4A teams, along
with a smattering of smaller
schools, will toe the line at
the meet, making it the clos-
est replication of the state
meet of the season. The host
Warriors are the number-one-
ranked 4A team, and many of
the other top teams will be on
hand as well.
The boys team ran as
incomplete Friday after star
runner Jordan Pollard had to
pull out late in the race with
a leg cramp. Josh Liddell,
a freshman, continued his
strong first season with a
56th-place finish in 18:53.
“Certainly he is estab-
lishing himself as one of the
best 4A runners in his grade
level,” said Nordell.

Jack Berg (21:12) all ran their
best races of the season as the
team looks to become more
competitive as the season
enters what Nordell terms
“the racing” part of the sea-
son. Number-three runner,
Cole Pade, was forced to sit
out the meet due to ongoing
shin pain.
“We are the defending
district champions and are
in a rebuilding year, so every
week that we are faster puts
pressure on those teams in
our league that are thinking
they are going to beat us this
year,” said Nordell.
The Sky-Em conference
has no clear favorite among
boys teams at the mid-way
point of the season, but the
Outlaws will face all of the
league schools, other than
Elmira, at the Philomath meet.
“I can’t wait to see how
we do in the week ahead,”
said Nordell.
