But it is their leadership qualities and work ethic that made them stand out in a way that earned them Athlete of the Month honors for the Sisters High School Outlaws. Both athletes’ coaches focused on the intangibles in their evaluation of these standout athletes: “Jordan’s leadership skills have been second- to-none this cross-country season,” said Coach Josh Nordell. “Jordan led a strong group of freshman with thoughtfulness, kindness and a willing- ness to develop great friend- ships. Jordan’s thoughtful leadership helps create an inclusive team culture. “Jordan also ran incredibly well.

He is a wonderful ath- lete to coach.” Volleyball Coach Rory Rush said, “Hawley is a dynamic player and has great court sense. She has been instrumental in Sisters’ four-year run to the state tour- nament and to our team’s success this season. She stepped up as a floor and was pivotal in Game 4 with her serving and hitting to give Sisters it’s third state title in four years. “During this time Hawley also worked incred- ibly hard academically. She spent endless hours PHOTO BY OU TLAWS PHOT OGRAPHY studying to maintain her rigorous class load. It was an honor to coach her this year.” Harrer earned many hon- ors this season, including Player of the Championship Match; Player of the Year, Sky-E; and 4A Player of the Year.

NEW WINTER HOURS OSU lands $2M donation for concert hall CORVALLIS (AP) — Oregon State University has received a $2 million donation for its new concert hall. The Corvallis Gazette- Times reports the university is looking to raise $60 million for a new arts and education complex with an acoustically superior concert hall that can seat between 400 to 600 people. College of Liberal Arts Dean Larry Rodgers says they hope the hall will be an ideal space for relatively intimate music performances such as choir concerts, recitals and chamber music programs. The university announced Wednesday that it received the $2 million donation from the family of the late Lynne Detrick of West Linn. The new concert hall is expected to be named the Lynne Detrick Hall.
