Hood Community College’s 166 and Lane Community College’s 147 in the Oregon Community College Athletic Association Championships. The College tracksters hadn’t entered the meet hoping for any state championship. In fact, they couldn’t, because they don’t have anyone in the jumping events. “We did as well as we had hoped to as a team,” stated Coach Marilyn Linsenmeyer, “but individually, some pulled through and some didn’t.” Shavon Dennis grabbed a first-place victory for the Cougars in the 400-meter event as she sweeped across the finish line at 56.69, im mediately followed by team mate Sue Hanneman with a se cond place time of 57.81. The Cougars also captured a first-place victory in the 400-meter relay with a time of 49.69. The College relay team consisted of Hanneman, Den nis, Patty Richardson and Kelly Howard. Dennis, the same person who gained a first-place victory in the 400-meter, and aided in Cougars’ 400-meter relay event, snagged a second-place victory in the 200-meter dash with a finishing time of 25.48. Dennis had a preliminaries time of 24.89, which is one- hundreth of a second shy of the school record. In the 800-meter, the Col lege’s Debbie Simon was the. second person to finish the race at 2:20.11. A Cougar follower was Jackie Beaudry who clock ed a time of 2:21 flat. Nancy Reynolds led the Cougars in the 3,000-meter event, taking third and clocking a time of 10:58.68, followed by Beaudry at 11:03.12, and two other Cougars, Carolyn Raimondi at 11:55.11 for eleventh, and Peg Winczewski at 12:53.11 for twelfth. The combined College force of Reynolds, Beaudry, Simon and Beth Kokesh earned a third-place finish in the 3,200-meter relay with a time of 9:53/17. Cyd McCormick grabbed third in the spear throwing event with a 138’73A” toss as did Carol Ziemba in the shot put with a “ STty/z” heave. McCormick took fourth the discus event with 115-foot whirl.

The Region 18 Champion ships are coming up this weekend, and the College still won’t be trying for a champion ship. “We may place, but we won’t win the regionals,” stated Linsenmeyer, “we’ll be trying to get more national qualifiers.” singles, Pat Philpot defeated Linda Gregor of North Idaho, 6-0, 6-3.

Michael said “they were real ly excited” coming away with the regional trophy. “They had pointed toward this all season. We knew from the start that we would be pretty good, and they never lost sight of taking it match from match.” Cougar netters will travel to Oceola, Fla., next weekend where they’ll participate in na tionals. “We’re not used to playing in hot, humid weather,” said Michael, “and that will make a difference. Right now we’re eating a lot of potassium foods to stave off cramping.” Despite the weather factor, Michael said, “We’re very excited about going.
