Winner captures second
at Worthington, Minn.
Cougar grappler Nathan
Winner claimed the second
place slot in the National Junior
College Athletic Association
tournament held last weekend
in Worthington, Minnesota.
Winner fell 11-5 by deci
sion to Ignatio Garcia of Colby,
Kansas, in the final round of
action.
In the first round, Winner
took a 10-3 decision over Scott
Chipperfield of Northwest
Wyoming and a 7-2 win over
Mike Winter of Waukesha,
Wisconsin. In his semi-final
round Winnter pinned Perry
Graehling of Lakeland, Ohio in
5:26 followed by an 8-3 deci
sion over Rick Dorn of Willmar.
Winner finished the
season with a 40-2 season
record, what Coach Norm
Berney said was “one of the
best season records here.” He
was also the first Clackamas
wrestler to compete in a cham
pionship round since 1976.
“He put out a commen
dable effort,” Berney said. “He
did a really good job going out
there with no previous ex
perience and taking second
place. He put up a full effort
and worked hard this year.”
Winner’s teammate Mike
Bolf who also competed in na
tional competition lost a 12-3
decision to Ken Bennett of
Forest Park, Missouri, in the
opening round of action.
“Bolf got surprised and
didn’t wrestle to his ability,”
Berney said. “It was because of
lack of experience, but he’ll go
back next year.”
Overall Berney felt his
men did “an adequate job.”
Individual tracksters hopeful
Women’s track coach
Marilyn Wynia says that her
team “won’t finish strong in
many meets because they’re
small,” but she added, “We
have individuals that will do
well.”
Wynia has three returning
runners out this year including
Loretta Elbert competing in
sprints, Cyd McCormick at
javelin and discus, and Debbie
Simon running distance.

ing distance, Brenda Rasch of
Canby at the high jump and
Marie Freedman of Jackson

“We have some good rjun-
ners,” said Wynia, “and some
should qualify forregionals and
nationals. Because it’s the last
year tor national competition
we’re going to shoot for it,”
Wynia added, “We’ll attempt
to qualify as many individuals
as we can.”
“Your strength is in quali
ty, not quantity,” Wynia said.
Men’s track sets national goal

track coach Kelly Sullivan an
ticipates a good season for his
men including a “good shot” at
winning conference and
regionals and potentially being

beat.
