Peckham 15th at state cross-country meet
By Charlie Kanzig
Correspondent
John Peckham’s stellar
sophomore season drew to a
close Saturday, November 3,
with a 15th-place finish at the
OSAA State Championships
at Lane Community College.
Peckham’s breakout sea-
son included a personal
record of 16:05 at the Oregon
West District meet on October
25, where he placed fifth in a
field that ended up including
four of the top 10 finishers at
the state meet.
On Saturday, the crowded
field made the going tough
for Peckham as he got caught
in about 40th place for much
of the first half-mile, leaving
him to fight his way through
the pack in hopes of getting
back in contact with the run-
ners he had kept pace with all
season.
He kept his wits and
moved up to as high as 12th
place in the second half of the
race, but a top-10 finish was
not meant to be as he crossed
the line in 16:58.
“I am not that disap-
pointed,” he said after the
race.
It would be understandable
for Peckham to feel some dis-
appointment, however, con-
sidering he consistently ran
close and even beat a number
of the boys during the sea-
son who placed ahead of him
Saturday.
“The field of runners was
so tight through 15 guys going
into the meet we thought any
of those guys might have won
on a given day,” said Head
Coach Josh Nordell.

As a freshman, Peckham
ran 17:46 at state and placed
42nd, which provides per-
spective on his impressive
improvement in one year’s
time.
Joey Peterson of Marist
Catholic won the race in
16:10, followed by Stayton’s
Matthew Frazeur (16:13)
and Newport’s Kolby Spink
(16:15).
Marist won the team title
with 54 points in its first sea-
son since dropping down from
the 5A classification. Newport
placed second with 81 points
to edge third-place Tillamook,
who finished with 84 points.
Valley Catholic nabbed the
fourth- place trophy with 119
points, just one point in front
“He’s certainly the fast-
est right now in 10th grade
among 4A runners, so he has
a lot to look forward to for
sure.”
