LCCC women team, cashed in
'nine first place finishes. One
came in the 400-meter relay,
clocking them at 51.4. Fresh
man Susie Morehart, whom
Smith praises as “the best
sprinter I’ve ever coached,”
sparked the . team with first-
place finishes in the 100 and
200 meter run, and the long
jump. Smith continued saying,
“Susie is the type of runner
who, if she misses one day with
a cold, thinks she’s out of
shape.”

team’s will be at home to
compete against Blue-
Mountain, COCC, and
Linn-Benton.
“It should be a good
chance for us to show our
selves since we will be at
home and will be able to
compete in front of relatives
and freinds,” men’s Coach
Les Tipton commented.
The men’s tennis team
will be at home both Friday
and Saturday for league
matches against Chemeketa
and Concordia.
Leandra Barinaga ran to first
place in the 1500 and 3,000
meter runs, while Linda Lam-
precht leaped to victories in the
400 metgr hurdles and 100
meter hurdles. Julie Larkins
won the 800 meter event with
a time of 2:30.3.
After early .season warmup
meets like the Portland Indoor,
Indoor Oregon Relay, and

vitational, Smith’s reigning
national champs see success at
the state meet,’key to any fur
ther endeavors. “Our whole
philosophy here is a daily and
weekly goal-oriented sport.
Without the state, there can’t
be the regionals, and without
the regionals, there can’t be an
ultimate victory at nationals,”
he said.
The OCCA field event’s pei-
formance was substantial. In
the high jump, Barbara Young
took second with a 4’ IO1/?”.
Second and third place distan
ces were slated in the javelin,
with Julie Larkin’s tossing it 95’
3”, and Rhonda Weidman
right behind with a 92’ 4”
measurement. Pam Hoffnian
brought in a third place in the
discus with a 102.5 foot throw.
The OCCA competition,
Smith admits, is an indication
of what’s to come at state.
What wasn’t there, though,
was Central Oregon College,
and Mary Douglas, a half miler,

are bound to give CCC trouble
