sports Abshire places third in Nation By Rob Conner Of The Print Relying on their distance strength, the men’s track team placed ninth, scoring but 24 points, in the National Junior College track and field meet in San Angelo, Texas. Freshman Brian Abshire, who going into the meet, had posted the nation’s fastest junior college 5,000, ran 14:25 for third, well off his seasons best of 14:13. After winning the regional 1,500 and 5,000 Abshire elected to just run the twelve lapper at the National meet. Sophomore Ken Velas quez, who was eighth last year, placed fifth with a clocking of 14:29, equaling his personal record. The winning time was 14:21. Prelims were held two days before. Abshire and Velasquez were required to finish in the top six of either of the two heats in order to go on to finals. Clackamas was repre sented well in the 1,500 by a couple of freshmen, Matt Parker and John Hansen. Parker took fifth in 3:52 and 2-3-5 finish in javelin good for 9th By Rob Conner Of The Print The women’s track team, competing with but three athletes placed ninth in the Na tional meet, held in San Angelo, Texas, earlier this week. Sherri Hilton placed se cond, Sue Frank was third and Terri Kelly was fifth. Remarkably, none of the Cougar women there had per sonal bests. Though all three Clackamas competitors were well off the winning toss of 160 feet, Hilton threw 151’, Frank 145’ and Kelly 137’. It is no secret that Hilton has been the workhorse of the team all year. It paid off as she placed fourth in the Hep- tathalon. “After the first day, I figured she could be in the top three,” Coach Marylin Wynia said. The first day saw Hilton record 28.0 in the 200, 15.9 in the 100 high hurdles, 5-1 in the high jump, and 37-8 in the shot put. Although she won the javelin on the second day,set ting a heptathalon record of 135-4, she was well off her best mark. “Competing the day before probably effected her competitiveness a little bit. She had to do a lot of things in two days,” Wynia said. On the se cond day she also clocked Brian Abshire File photos Errors prove costly, Cougs eliminated By Buck Jennings Of The Print The 1983 Cougar baseball team wrapped up their season last week with a first round loss against Treasure Valley, a se cond round win against Nort hern Idaho and a third round loss to Treasure Valley in the Yakima Tournament, thus eliminating the Cougs from Regionals and bringing their record to 14-17.

Both runners were pushed hard in prelims as they had to run approximately 3:53 to make the finals. An event in which the Cougars figured to score big points was the steeple chase. Sophomores Steve Gogl and Tony Macey had bests of 8:57 and 9:07, but could manage only 9:20 and 9:25 for sixth and eighth, respectively. “The field went out kind of fast,” Gogl said. ‘We were 2:11 at the half.” The 1,600 relay team of Jeff Tressler, Dan Dugan, Les Taylor, and Ivan Coleman did about as well as could be hoped as they clocked a seasons best of 3:13.

Their opponent once again was Treasure Valley. Jumping ahead in the first few innings it looked like the Cougars had it all wrapped up, but then four costly errors gave Treasure Valley the opportuni ty to take over. They took ad vantage of the situation and beat the Cougars 12-6, thus eliminating them from Regionals. Coach Petersen com mented, “We were ahead in both games we lost. We just couldn’t hold on. We also didn’t play too well defensively in the last game against Treasure Valley. We allowed four errors, which is a lot for us.” All in all Petersen thinks his team had a pretty good year. “Overall, we played very well this season,” Petersen said. “We were very strong defensively and I was pleased GUITARS, BANJOS, Mandolins at discount prices.

In the 50 innings Bauer pitched he had 50 strike outs, 21 bases on balls and allowed only ten earned runs. He also had an earned run average of 1.80. Petersen said, “Bauer did an exceptional job for us this year and as a result of his efforts made first team pit cher in Regionals.” In addition to that, Bauer has the chance to receive national recognition, as he is eligible for All- American honors.
