David Perez-Sanchez has been one of the Outlaws’ leading throw- ers for the last three years. In his two primary events (discus and shotput) he finished his high school career with personal records of 121 feet 5 inches (discus) and a fifth-place finish for the Outlaws at the district meet, and a personal best 38 feet 11 inches in the shotput. “More importantly, David has been an outstanding leader for the team,” said Coach Jeff Larson. “He rou- tinely took younger ath- letes under his wing to help them improve and even took an active role in leading the other throwers in meet prep- aration of the throw- ing areas.” Larson noted that Holland Hartman (pictured left in photo) is new to track photo) is new to track and field and spent the majority of her season fight- ing nagging injuries. “Despite her setbacks, her positive attitude and desire to improve impressed the coaching staff on a daily basis,” said Larson. “As an athlete, Holland focused on K RRY BALDOC PHOTO BY JE the sprints, racing both the By Jim Anderson Correspondent PHOTO BY JE RRY BALDOC K 200 and 100. At the district meet, the coaches decided to have her focus on the 100-meter dash, where she ran a personal best and helped contribute to the girls’ fourth straight team championship.” The coach said, “David and Holland will be greatly missed. We wish them the best of luck in the future.” A wonderful opportunity for local kids is taking place (again) in Sisters Country: the Black Butte Eco Bike Explorers. It’s a grassroots nonprofit program designed to get kids outdoors to learn about ecology and conserva- tion of our natural treasures through art and mountain bike exploration. It gives kids tools to give them direction to their lives and help them improve and maintain their relationship with the world around them. The field trips cover topics including their impact on the environment, reduce, reuse, recycle, learn and respect natural habitats — and have lots of summertime fun with friends while doing it. The current program is for kids between the ages of 10-15, and because this is only their second season, the pro- gram space will be limited to 8-10 kids. Based on the great times the kids had last year, Heather Walden — who got it going last year and runs it today — says it can grow with more volunteers. So, if you’re interested in taking part and/or helping, contact her via www. bbekids.org. Black Butte Eco Bike Explorers will meet every Wednesday throughout the summer starting June 27 at 9 a.m. at the Black Butte School yard, and depart at 9:45 a.m. on bike trails to explore our unique natural history in the Camp Sherman basin.
