Although the men’s track
managed to capture first-
place wins in seven different
events during their tri-meet last
week, the squad still came up
4.5 points short of victorious
Linn-Benton and had to settle
for second place.
Coach Buck Monroe com
mented, “We won seven dif
ferent events and probably
would have won the match if
Tony
Lahti
and
Neil
Ousterhout could have run.”
Both were side-lined with in
juries which prevented them
from competing.
Jeff Forrell captured three
individual first place spots, all in
the field events. Forrell won the
triple jump with a leap of 41’ 8-
3A.” He also won the long
jump with a 20’ 1 Vi” effort and
tied Rich Ferguson for a share
of first place in the high jump.
Ferguson also gained multiple
¡wins during the afternoon as he
tossed the javelin 172’ 2” to
take first in that event.

John Martin took home the
gold in the 100-meter with an
11.2 time. Bob Judd won the
400-meter intermediate hur
dles with a time of 58.9.
Coach Monroe offered these
comments on the match, “I feel
that Linn-Benton and our
selves are pretty evenly mat
ched and that if we would have
been at 100 percent we could
have beaten them.”
The tracksters will be back in
action this week as they host
