SPORTS 8A — THE OBSERVER TuESday, May 18, 2021 EOU men share track and field title after tight contest Women’s team finishes in second place at Cascade Conference Championships By DAVIS CARBAUGH The Observer LA GRANDE — It came down to the last event of the weekend, with the Eastern Oregon University’ men’s track and field team tying the College of Idaho for first place with 203 points at the Cascade Colle- giate Conference Out- door Championships in La Grande. The Mountaineer women’s team scored 199.5 points to finish in second place behind the champion Yotes at Banner Bank Track. Eastern held a 198- 197 lead heading into the men’s 4x400 meter relay, but the College of Idaho placed third while EOU took fourth. This knotted the two teams at 203 points and led to both being champions. Allexander Kosel and Cody Milmine stole the show for Eastern, taking part in a combined six first-place finishes. Milmine finished first and set a meet record in the men’s 100-meter dash with a time of 10.53. He also contributed to a Banner Bank Track record on EOU’s 4x100 meter relay team, which clocked in at 41.82. His 21.73 finish in the men’s 200- meter dash was good for another CCC title. Milmine came up just short in the men’s 400-meter dash to place Tingelstad had strong freshman campaign By RONALD BOND Wallowa County Chieftain JOSEPH — Ellyse Tingelstad had a solid freshman campaign for the College of Idaho women’s cross-country team. Tingelstad, the former state champion track standout for Joseph, was named an all-American by placing 33rd overall and was the top runner on the C of I women’s team, which finished second overall at the NAIA National Cham- pionships in April in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, behind only St. Francis (Illinois). Tingel- stad completed the race in a time of 18:31.55, and was among three Coyote ath- letes to garner all-American status. Her effort puts her in the top 25 for national plac- ings in program history. “Grabbing all-American means a lot,” Tingelstad said. “It’s one more thing to confirm you have improved this much, and the hard work in this long season has paid off.” “Weird” was a word Tin- gelstad used to describe the season on multiple occa- sions, noting how the season started in the fall, but rolled into the spring because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She added that as cross- country ended, she went straight into track — and even at times was practicing for indoor track and cross- country in the same day. “It’s been hard bal- ancing things, but I have a super awesome team,” she said. “Coming down here and being able to run with (these) girls and always having people to train with is great.” It capped a season that saw her quickly emerge as one of the top runners for College of Idaho — if not the top. After taking fourth on the team in a 3K at Eastern Oregon Uni- versity in November, and second behind teammate PREP SOFTBALL La Grande on the road defeated Ontario 13-2 and 14-4. The Tigers finished the season 10-1 overall and 6-0 in the Greater Oregon League. Thursday, May 13 PREP BASEBALL SATURDAY, MAY 15 PREP BASEBALL Coach of the Year. The CCC Outdoor Track & Field Champi- onships concluded a suc- cessful season for the Mountaineers under Welch. The Mountaineers competed throughout the state of Oregon as well as in Idaho and Washington. Up next for the Moun- taineers, standouts from the season will compete in the National Associ- ation of Intercollegiate Athletics Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Many of Eastern’s athletes already have qualified based on times from ear- lier in the season, but the official list of qualifiers will be announced later in the week, according to EOU Athletics. The national event takes place May 26-28. Losing Your HEARING or are your ears just plugged with EARWAX?

She also is off to a stellar start to the track season. Erin Moyer at a home 4K in early February, Tingelstad became the tip of the spear for the Yotes. The team often ran in a pack, but the freshman ended up leading out at the end. She led five C of I runners who finished between second and sixth at the Lewis and Clark Winter Invite in late February, posting a time of 17:46 to help the Yotes win the meet. A month later, she turned in the same time and took third overall at the Cas- cade Collegiate Conference championships to help lead C of I to a conference title. Four Coyote runners placed in the top 10 at the meet. “A big thing has been a shift in training to do a little more volume. I am running a little more than in high school,” she said. “Both coaches (in high school) were strong on low mileage. Having a little more base under me has been helpful.” This Audiometric evaluation will precisely show you what you’ve been missing and if you can be helped by a hearing aid.
