Top ranked Cougs fight injuries By Doug Vaughan Of The Print Carrying in a pre-season ranking of first in the nation, the College men’s cross coun try team swept the University of Portland Invitational for the first time in the College’s history. Pacing the way for the Cougars was sophomore All- American candidate Tony Macey, who set a new course record of 23:17. Also con tributing a strong leg was se cond year man Steve Gogl, who placed sixth in the 87 runner-field. Competing against the Cougars were Lin field, Lewis and Clark, Pacific Lutheran, University of Peuget Sound, University of Portland, and three track clubs consisting of college graduates. The main ingredients helping the Cougars obtain the number one ranking are their fourth place finish in Nationals last year, and regional and con ference championships in the past two year. At the helm for the Cougars is third year Coach, Kelly Sullivan, who feels very confident about his club. “If we are injury-free, I honestly believe we can win the ¡National championship,” boasted Sullivan. “We have great team unity. I find less pressure on myself to do that : (create team unity); they-are do ing it as a group.” The only problem that has hit the Cougars early in the season is injuries. The Cougars have run without Ken Velas quez, their number two runner from last vear. and All- American candidate. Injuries have also hampered key run ners like Gogl, who was im pressive in the University of Portland' Invitational. Gogl, with an ankle injury, has not competed since he injured his ankle, but he seems very op timistic even though he has missed workouts. “I will have to see how it affects me in our next meet before it starts to affect me mentally,” Gogl stated. Conti nuing on how the team has responded to the injuries he ex plained, “It is better to have them now than in the end. I am sure everyone will be healthy when it comes time.” One of the major challenges that the Cougars are faced with this year is the ex traordinary strength of their conference. Sullivan feels that it is the toughest in the nation. Reasons for his belief are that Southern Idaho (ranked third, nationally), Lane Community College (ranked sixth), and Northern Idaho (a top ten con tender) are all opponents that the Cougars face in conference meets. One of the most im pressive runners on the squad according to Sullivan is Macey, who is believed to be one of the best distance runners in col legiate competition and a top recruit for major college next year. Macey sees repeating as an All-American as a personal goal for this season and he would like to see his team earn the National Championship. “We have a good chance, but we have to pull together as a team, become more team oriented,” commented the priz ed distance runner. In the most recent meet, Oct. 2 in Seattle, Wash., the Cougars competed against 25 teams, placing fourth. Leading the way through the 10,000 File photo KELLY SULLIVAN meter race for the team was Macey who broke a school record, Macey was the top junior college finisher and finished third overall. The only teams to outrun the Cougars were Evergreen Track Club, Western Washington Universi ty, and Club Northwest. Sullivan, who has a confi dent outlook for his club, ex plained, “Last year our goal was to finish in the top five. This year I don’t think we will be satisfied until we win the Na tional Championship.” Volleybailers win early season tourney Basin College came next, being defeated 12-15, 15-8, 15-1, with the host being defeated the final time by the Cougars.
