The seventh annual bench
press contest will be held at
Clackamas Community Col
lege Feb. 14 in Randall Hall
starting at 6:30 p.m.
The competition will be
divided into two categories—
high school and an open divi
sion. The open division is
available to anyone not cur
rently in high school no matter
where their residence.
Awards will be presented
to placers of each weight class
of each division. There are
eight weight classes within each
division.
The rules for the weight
lifting tournament will be
stricter this year, a Special Pro
grams person said. The lifter
will have to be in control of the
bar at the top and bottom of the
lift. The participant will also not
be allowed to pause or bounce
the bar at any point in the lift.
In order for the lift to be official
the lifter’s body will have to be
flat on the bench, and his feet
flat on the floor.
Each participant will be
allowed three lifts with the
maximum official lift used as
the basis of the judging.
Due to injuries and a
rought Simon Fraser wrestling
team the Clackamas Com
munity College mat men went
down in defeat, 27-9, Friday
Jan. 28 at the College.
The Canadian team was a
sixth place finisher in the NAIA
tournament last year and has a
combined 18-3 record this
year. The Cougars were Simon
Fraser’s only junior college
competition so far this year.
“There is no way that we
could compete against them
unless I was to go out and
recruit five more guys,” Norm
Berney, Cougar coach, said.
Berney did not have any
complaints about the Cougar’s
performance as he realized the
Cougs were out-matched by
the four-year school. He was
impressed by a few of the
wrestlers and was pleased with
some of the closer matches that
kept the Cougar’s efforts
respectable.
At 115 pounds, the Col
lege got a very strong perfor
mance out of Dale Earlywine as
he earned a 8-6 decision over a
tough Fraser opponent.
Mike Bolf, 134 pounds,
also gave the Cougs a bright
spot as he helped soften the
wound by picking up a decision
over ¡Jack Mishikawa, 8-5.
The only other Clackamas
wrestler to pick up team points
was Ricky Hutchison as he had
an impressive victory over Mike
McCrae via an 11-7 decision.
One reason for the
Cougar’s loss was that they
were out two wrestlers, which
caused them to forfeit a match
in the 177-pound weight
bracket. Tom Baker and
Spencer Croyden were both
out with injuries.
Berney also cited a dif
ference in the scheduling of the
two teams. The Vancouver,
B.C. team has had over 20
matches already, he said,
whereas the Cougars just
started matches at the begin
ning of January.
The difference in the four-
year school compared to the
College was also relevant in the
team line-ups. The Cougar
team consisted of six first-year
men in the 10 weight classes
versus Simon Fraser, who
wrestled
mostly
up
perclassmen .
“Right now our goal is to
peak at the time of regionals,”
Berney said. “That will be six or
seven weeks into our season so
I feel we will be able to compete
at that level.”
The Cougars also par
ticipated in two meets Satur
day, Portland State Invitational
and the Pacific Invitational
(Junior Varsity Tournament).
At Pacific, the Cougs captured
a third place finish. Statistics
were riot available.
