Both the men and women’s
cross country teams made it to
the Junior NCAA Cross Coun­
try championships--the Cougar
Volleyball Team is headed into
regional action, and the soccer
team has plans to win the OISA
State Title next Sunday.
All in all the fall sports teams
have given the College some
very exciting and impressive
action.
.The men’s Cross Country
team had one returning athlete
from last season, Jim Colgan,
last year’s number one runner.
The rest were new additions to
the Cougar team, including
Coach Kelly Sullivan.
Among the freshmen run­
ners recruited, three were state
high school champions, two
were All-American selections,
and 11 All-State in either cross
country or track.
The men won at both
regional and state levels com­
peted Tn the Junior NCAA
championship.
The women thinclads,' like
the men had a small return of
last year’s runners. Like the
men, their number one runner
returned from last season. For
the women it was Nancy
Reynolds. They 'also gained
two runners from the track
team, Becky Kokesh and
Carolyn Raimondi, and Marcie
Fisher. Only four women were
recruited as freshmen runners
for the women’s team..In their
first race, the women gave
Coach Marilyn Linsenmeyer
some surprises.
One of the freshmen, Debbie
Simon was a AAA State High
School Champion.
The women, like the men,
also took their running abilities
to the nationals.
The Cougar Volleyball team
has had an outstanding season,
with 26 wins and only five
losses. The team now is
preparing to compete in the
regionals on Nov. 21 and 22.
Like the cross country team,
only one person returned from
last season’s team, Debbie
Nolz. Nolz won All-State and
All-Metro honors in previous
seasons.
Ronda Westeren and Carol
Ziemba also won All-State and
All-Metro honors prior to this
season,
Jamie Hill and Cyd McCor­
mick won All-State honors,
and Lou Ann Garvin was an
All-Metro winner.
The Soqcer team has shown
its excellence with a 9-0 record
in regular season action, and
will compete for the OISA

championship next Sunday.
The soccer team has the ad­
vantage of having . seven
players returning from last
year, with four freshmen who
are starters, Jeff Johnson, Tim
Olson, Jim Keough, and Rick
Zyelinskie.

kickers had' scored an im­
pressive 20 goals.
degree in general education
with an emphasis on history
and physical education, for
three consecutive seasons in/
cross country, he earned All­
State and All-Americari-
honors. In track, he earned All­
State and All-American laurels
for two competitive seasons. At
the 1978 Cahada-USA Track
Meet, Sullivan competed in the
steeplechase event. An even
higher honor occured when
Sullivan represented the U.S.
at the 1979 World Cup games-
at Mexico City.
During the interview Coach
Sullivan revealed his desire; to
coach and always dreamed of
returning to Clackamas. A two-
year school provides Kelly the
luxury of coaching without
pressure and truly enjoying the
pleasure of coaching young
adults. His philosophy is such
that running is fun and athletes
should compete without the

of Oregon and

wealth of untapped talent.
