Last one of the season...
Three Outlaws take
part in grassroots race
Correspondent
A teenage runner from
South Medford High School
4 motivated to have the
chance to race some of the
other top distance runners in
Oregon after track was can-
celed and the cross-country
season moved to February
4 has taken matters into
his own hand. He organized
a 5,000-meter race that was
held Saturday, October 3, at
Sheldon High School9s track
in Eugene.
The beneficiaries of the
race being made available
included John Peckham, Will
Thorsett, and Sam Mays, of
Sisters High School. The trio,
along with some other team-
mates, have been training
consistently since last March
and have not raced since the
state cross-country champi-
onships last November, in
which Peckham placed first
and Thorsett third.
The Outlaws represented
three of the four 4A runners
who took part in the race
dominated by 6A and 5A
runners who, like Peckham
and Thorsett, entered the
race with strong credentials.
Most of the entrants had
never run a 5,000-meter
race on the track before, so
the 12-1/2 lap race was new
territory.
Ryan Schumacher of
Jesuit, fourth at last year9s
6A state cross country meet
held off the race organizer
Michael Maiorano by five
seconds to win in a fine
time of 14:50. Jack Bennett,
also of Jesuit, was next
in 14:56.
Peckham and Thorsett
finished in the thick of the
next group across the line,
with Peckham taking fifth
place (15:27) and Thorsett
eighth (15:34) as five run-
ners finished within eight
seconds of each other.
May, who specializes in
the 800 meters in track, ran
near his lifetime best for the
distance to finish in 17:36.
Sarah Thorsett, a volun-
teer coach for both the cross-
country and track teams, was
on hand for the meet and
came away very impressed
with the Outlaws runners.
<They ran so smart,= she
said. <John and Will finished
very strong, each with a
67-second final lap and Sam
Sam was impressive
taking on such a long
track race with such a great
attitude. It was fun to see
all three of them run so
well after being off from
racing so long.

run so well after being off

Volunteer Coach Dennis
Dempsey said, <They ran
great, which shows their
commitment to train-
ing under ever-changing
circumstances.=
Traditional fall sports
will be allowed to take part
in a four week <mini-season=
beginning in mid-October,
which may include some
more races, according to
head cross-country coach
Josh Nordell.
It appears that at least
three Outlaws will be ready.
