athletes to push one another
to excel.
“It’s pretty good. Usually
it’s (strong) competition.
Everybody gets more seri-
ous, but I like that it’s not
too serious of a vibe to where
you’re not interacting with
each other. It’s encouraging
as well as competitive,” he
said.
While it’s still very early
in the season, Kosel is en-
couraged by the potential on
the team.
“From practice it looks
like we’re going to be pretty
solid all around,” he said.
“Sprinters and jumpers
we have quite a few of, and
our throwers. I’m pretty
confi dent we’ll be able to put
down good marks.”
Welch said the team could
be stronger by the time the
outdoor season begins due to
the younger athletes getting
that much more experience.
“They need some time to
develop,” he said. “There are
some guys in there who are
going to be really good, and
they’re working hard.”
One of those new athletes,
freshman sprinter Cody
Milmine, is optimistic about
y what the team is capable of

level coming off of a fourth-
place fi nish at last year’s
CCC meet.
“The men’s program is
defi nitely in the running for
a conference championship,”
he said. “I know (assistant)
coach (Rebecca Rhodes) was
running numbers before and
she said we’re right in the
mix. If we really work hard
all season and do what we
need to do, we can defi nitely
end up winning.”
Eastern Oregon hosts its
team challenge meet March
14 and the CCC champion-
ships, which this spring are
May 8-9. The indoor national
championships are March
5-7, and the outdoor nation-
als are May 20-22.
Wilson, who garnered the
award in the long jump dur-
ing the indoor season.
“I’m trying to go to
nationals again, indoor and
outdoor,” she said. “I got sick
last winter and spring so I
didn’t get to go outdoor, but
I’m really hoping to have
that all-American title again.
It’s one of my goals.”
Wilson added one of the
aspects of the team that is
making it strong in the early
going is that they “push each
other to make each other
better.”
Welch said where the
team could possibly make a
splash at nationals is in the
relay races.
“We have some indi-
viduals who can get there as
individuals, and when you
start getting relays there
that have multiple people
on them that are individual
qualifi ers, you’re loading up
pretty good,” he said.
The women have also
picked up a solid class of
freshmen, several of whom
could make an immediate
impact on the team.
One of them is sprinter

believes the team could

“I defi nitely see us adding

a lot more depth than it

the night, and did so with a stun-
ning move. In one motion, Shukle
executed an arm spin where he
pulled Martin over his shoulders and
fl ipped him onto his back, pinning
him just seconds later.
“You grab his arm and drop your
hips down and he fl ings right over you
and goes straight to his back,” Shukle
said, describing a move he said he
learned from assistant coach John
Tuck. “I did it a couple times last year,
but up in the practice room I kind of
perfected it a little bit, just something
in your back pocket. It was there
tonight.”

“La Grande’s really tough this
