Tony Macey stands out as student, athlete
By Rob Conner
Of The Print
Tony Macey is one of Clackamas Com
munity College’s stand-out athletes. Macey has
already compiled a long string of accomplish
ments, a list admirable and comparable to that of
a fourth year student.
At first glance, Macey’s physical make-up
doesn’t appear to be that of a national class
distance runner. “When Tony walked., off the >
plane I thought ‘my gosh, this guy is shorter than
I am’,” admitted Coach Kelly Sullivan. In fact,
Macey stands 5’4” and tips the scales at a
modest 120 pounds.
Tony feels his size could actually work to his
advantage. “My cardiovascular system is pro
bably just as big as the guy I’m running against,
but with a smaller body I believe that I can
recover faster,” Macey commented.
Who can argue with his record? As a
freshman he placed fifth in the National Junior
College Athletic Association cross country meet,
and at that time received Academic All-
American honors with a four point grade
average. During his initial track season Macey
recorded a school record in the 5,000 meters
and went on to score third in the national meet.
Last fall, Macey led the Cougar cross coun
try team to a.second place team finish at na
tionals. Macey, who placed sixth, was the top
Clackamas finisher and the school’s only two
time cross country All-American. When asked
the highlight of his running career so far Tony
replied, “The things I accomplished this season.”

Tony grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and
began runningin seventh grade. “The coach saw
me running in P.E. and suggested that I go ouf,”
Macey recalled. “I won some races, I suppose
that’s why I kept running, but that’s why some
people quit, because they don’t win,” Macey
said.
After-a very successful high school running
career Tony opted to attend a. two-year school
rather than a four-year. Why a community col
lege? “Because you get more personal attention
in class and a better education, I think, com
pared to a major college.” And why Clackamas?
“Because they had a good team, good competi
tion and I knew I could compete at the national
level,” Macey Stated. “The coach isn’t bad
either,
The future is wide open for someone with
Macey’s credentials. He plans to get a degree in
marketing and hopes to work along the lines of
the distribution of running products. Currently
he is tackling 17 hours of classes. In his own
eyes, his GPA has “slipped,” at the present time
it is at 3.38, a very respectable average, con
sidering the additional time spent training.
This spring Tony will again be in quest of
the national title that has alluded him. “That’s
my main goal in running, now, winning a na
tional title.” Does the pressure catch up with the
distance ace? “The only pressure jl feel is the
pressure I put on myself, ” Macey stated.
An all-around athlete, Macey enjoys skiing
and bowling when not running. “I like to ski, but
1 never have time,” Macey said.
What about the question of school next
year? With offers corning in from all over the
country, Macey has narrowed his choices down
to “about six different schools.” Placing
academics high on priority, the school Macey
chooses will surely fulfill his academic re
quirements.

Strickler heads attack
Cougar women pound Douglas hoopsters
By Rob Conner
Of The Print
Coming off a bitter loss at
the hands of Clark College,
Clackamas Community’s
women’s basketball team rolled
to two decisive victories over
the weekend. Douglas College
of British Columbia fell victim
to the Cougars 87-35 and
72-37.
The Douglas squad com
posed of only five players, was
no match for a powerful
Cougar attack. Clackamas got
off 47 more shots from the
floor, while converting on 49
percent. The out-manned
Douglas team could manage
only 13 of 39 for the game.^,
A potent offensive bar
rage, which saw four Cougs hit
double figures, was led by
Kathy Strickler. The 5’7”
sophomore guard was suc
cessful on 11 of 17 field goal at-
tempts and ended with a game
high 22 points. Equally im
pressive was Stricklers’ back
court teammate Sherri Bull.
Bull shot a blistering 80 percent
from the floor and recorded 16
points. Sharon Larson and
Terri Jo Kelly each added 11 in
the winning effort.
The victory was due in a
large part to Clackamas’
domination on the boards. The
Cougars grabbed an amazing
49 rebounds to Douglas’ 25.
Suzy Graham took team high
honors with 10.
Running fresh troops in
and out of the game, Douglas
was kept off balance for most of
the 40 minutes. Douglas, forc
ed to play a very conservative
defense, only recorded four
steals for the game. The run
and gun Cougars on the other
hand made the most of their 29
steals, converting them into un
contested lay-ins at the other
end.
The next night Douglas
got more of the same. The
72-37 score is misleading: It
wasn’t that close. At one point
before the half Clackamas held
a 43-one lead. In the final
minute of the first half Douglas
reeled off four straight points to
draw within 39. At half-time
the Cougars held a comfortable
43-five advantage.
Clackamas’ hot shooting
touch carried over from the
night before. For one of the
rare times this season the
Cougars were over 50 percent
from the floor, at 33 of 64. The
Cougs actually shot worse from
the charity stripe (6 of 17).
The 5’9” power forward
Cyd McCormick paced the way
with a game high 14 points and
added nine rebounds. Kathy
Strickler was successful six
times in seven tries and ended
with 12.
Jami Hill, Terri Jo Kelly,
and Lynn Kershaw combined
to convert 12 of 18 for 27
points, nine each. The latter
also recorded five steals.
The Cougars once again
dominated
the
play
underneath.
Clackamas
recorded 48 team rebounds to
Douglas’ 29. Suzy Graham
snared 10 caroms. Cyd Mc
Cormick and Sharon Larson
each grabbed nine".

“They only had five
players, they would have been
better off to stay home and
save their money,” Phil Garver
pointed out realistically.
