Siblings ever present in Clackamas sports
By Rob Conner
Of The Print
Wayne and Wendy, Scott
and Vicki, Mike, Jim, and
Mary. Of course, the Sanmans,
the Andersons, and the Im
pers, all three brother-sister
combinations in sports here at
Clackamas.
Everyone knows that
growing up with a brother or
sister isn’t always a bed of
roses. All of the College’s sibl
ings do credit their brother or
sister with their success in
sports.
“We have been in sports
since we were little,” Mary Im
per said. “We have a very
athletic family.” Imper, 19,
grew up in the wake of her two
older brothers; Mike 22, and
Jim 21. Mary was co-captain
on the school’s volleyball team
last fall and was recently nam
ed to the All-Region 18 tennis
squad. When asked if she ever
defeats her brothers on the
basketball court, Imper replied,
“No, but I can beat them in ten
nis.”
While Mary chose to per
sue her volleyball and tennis
here at Clackamas, the
Brothers Imper devoted their
time to developing their skills in
basketball. Growing up jjust a
year apart one might suspect a
little extra competition between
Mike and Jim. “Not just him,
all of them,” Mike stated.
A great deal of time was
spent playing one-on-one Mike
recalled. Did Mike help his “lit
tle” (he now stands 6’7”)
brother out? “It wasn’t helping
him out, it was more trying to
beat him,” Mike, now “only”
6’5”, said.
Hanging around with his
older brother payed off for the
once “small, skinney” kid
brother. “It helped me out
because of the experience,”
Jim said. “When Mike went to

Jim, Mary and Mike Imper are one of the three brother, sister combina tions in sports at Clackamas
play with his friends, I would go
along too.”
Jim believes that growing
up behind his older .brother
paid off for him in the long run.
“I played varsity at Junction Ci
ty when I was a sophomore.
Mike was playing forward so I
was forced to always cover a
guard. This year I played facing
the basket a lot so everything
worked out pretty well.”
Scott Anderson, 20, and
his sister Vicki, also grew up in
a sports-oriented environment.
Was there ever any pressure '
from the Anderson parents?
No, Vicki, a freshmanj said.
“They give us a lot of support.
They come to all of our meets
and games.”

both participated in cross coun
try, basketball, and track
throughout their high school
careers at Tigard. Being in the
same sports, did little sister get
any help from her big brother?
“Yah, he’d help me because I
could play with him when I
didn’t have anyone else,” Vicki
said.
Was the kid sister able to
cut the mustard when it came
to back yard football games?
Yes, feels Scott. “She could
play with the boys. She wasn’t
counted as a girl. She could
burn some boys, but not me,”
Scott claims.
Wayne and Wendy San
man are a little different from
the Impers and Andersons.
Wayne and Wendy are twins,
though it hasn’t always looked
that way, Wayne remembers.
“When we were in junior'high
she was taller than me so
everyone thought she could
probably beat me up, but she
couldn’t,” Wayne added.

graduated from Milwaukie
High in 1982. Wayne, now the
taller of the two, professes, “I
helped her some with basket
ball in high school, but that’s
about it.”
Wendy has since given up
basketball and now plays ten
nis, while Wayne puts in time
hurdling on the schools track
team. When asked if she could
take her brother in junior high
Wendy replied, “Yah, I pro
bably could. He wasn’t very
big.”
