Siler, Gonzales head young distance squad
By Doug Vaughan
Of The Print
With every team member
in their first year of eligibility,
the women’s cross country
team was not expected to
dominate their competitors.
But what is expected and what
happens is not always the
same.
“Considering that most
of our competition has been
four-year schools, we have
done an outstanding job,”
Coach Marilyn Wynia said.
“We have been matched up
against some tough schools
(University of Oregon,
Willamette, University of
Washington) and I think it will
help us when we go to
Regionals.”
The problem is not only
that the Cougars have faced a
majority of universities, but
also as a team they do not have
any college running ex
perience.
The only two academic
sophomores that Wynia’s crew
has did not run cross country
last year. Leading the team
through their first three meets
have been a pair of freshmen.
Julie Siler, a Gold Beach
product, has been the top
placer in two of the first three
Cougar outings. In the most
recent competition she placed
seventh in a 11-team field with
a 18:19 (3.1 miles) at the
Willamette Invitational Oct. 7.
OFF AND RUNNING—Freshman Maria Gonzales and Julie Siler are among lead pack at Willamette Invitational.
The other freshman that
has led the Cougar forces is
local prospect, Maria Gon
zales, from Milwaukie. Gon
zales paced the Cougs in their
first meet of the year, Univer
sity of Portland Invitational,
with a 22:27 (3.3 miles) run,
placing 14th in the 50-runner
field.
Inexperience is not looked
at as only a negative aspect by
Wynia. Even though it does
hurt her team, she is not using
it as an excuse for anything.
“We are going to have a
whole ’nother year together,”
Wynia said. “They are just
starting to get a feel for what a
5000 meter race is all about. It
is a little different than high
school.”
With the recent dose of
four-year school competition,
Wynia feels her team will be
ready when it comes to
Regionals. And her prediction
shows it.
“This (heavy competi
tion) will tone us up for
Regionals,” Wynia said. “We
should do very well at
Regionals as long as everyone
remains healthy, and that re
mains to be seen.”
With the highlight of the
season (Regionals) just three
weeks away Wynia feels her
team is where they have to be
at this point. At this point, the
team’s downfall seems to be
pacing themselves, and then
knowing when to make their
move, but Wynia said that wil
come with time.
The Cougar runners are
idle this weekend, before com
peting in either a home meet or
at the University of Portland
meet Oct. 22.
