Women want national qualifiers

The Cougar women’s track
team managed a third-place
conference finish last weekend
as they scored 90 points to Mt.
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 College also captüred
fourth in the 1,500-meter as
Kokesh finished at 4:52.76,
and Reynolds was the sixth
finisher at 4:58.92. ’

weekend, and the College still
won’t be trying for a champion

“We may place, but we
won’t win the regionals,” stated
Linsenmeyer, “we’ll be trying
to get more national qualifiers.”

“They played really good
tennis,” said Coach Gladys
Michael. “I’m particularly
pleased with tournament play
because everyone did play
well.”
“They’re one of the most
prepared teams I’ve had, both
mentally and physically,” said
Michael.
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.
