With the season drawing to
an end, the women’s tennis
team of Clackamas Communi
ty College are looking toward
the Northwest Athletic
Association of Community
Colleges (NWAACC) Cham
pionships.
In recent matches, the
Cougar netters have defeated
league opponents such as
Tacoma 5-2 on May 2 and
Lower Columbia 9-0 on April
25. In a non-league match
against Bellevue on April 27,
the Cougars were defeated 7-2.
Head Coach of the team
Nancy Mikleton reports that
the players are all “playing
pretty good.” She pointed
out, however, that the team
has been bothered by illness
and injuries in past weeks.
Before their match against
Clark College on May 7,
Mikleton explained, “We’ll be
tied for second if we win to
day.” It was the last home
match for the Cougars who
now have only one league con
frontation left in the season.
Results of the match were not
available by press time.
The Cougars were dealt a
loss by the Clark team earlier
in the season 6-3. Many of the
matches were taken to three
sets by the hard-fighting
Cougar team, however, so
Tuesday’s rematch promised
to be a tough one for both
teams.
In the match against Lower
Columbia, the Cougars swept
the scoring, not allowing a
single point to their opponent.
After a week and a half of
bad luck, which included some
disciplinary action against
some team members, and a
seven-game losing streak, it
looks as though the Cougar
baseball team is making a
comeback.
In a recent double-header
against Lane Community Col
lege, the Cougars won both
games with scores of 8-4 and
5-4. The Cougars also swept a
double-header against Ump
qua Community College 8-5,
6. Against Mt. Hood Com
8-
munity College the Cougars
won the first game 6-3, but
were shut out in the second
game 0-5.
Now that the problems have
been worked out the team is as
Coach Paul Roeder said,
i “really benefiting from it. It
always helps to have
something go wrong, and if it
hadn’t happened we would
have played bad at any time,
but I think in the long run it
really brought us together as a
team.”
Because they missed a prac
tice, a few of the team
I members were suspended from
one game of league play.

The women’s track team has
had an interesting season so
far this year. Even though
there are few people out for
the sport Coach Marilyn
Wynia is pleased with the way
things are working out.
“We have a couple of girls
who are out for track for the
first time, but they are learn
ing. The vetrans pretty much
know what they have to do
and are doing it,” she said.
The team has three
qualifiers for the Northwest
Wednesday, May 8, 1985
Athletic Association of Com
munity College’s (NWAACC)
all-conference meet on May 17
and 18 in Spokane, Wash.
Julie Siler will compete in the
1,500 and the 3,000-meter
runs, Debbie Blake in the
discus and Janet Hess in the
400-meter hurdles. Also on the
team are Diana Haider, who
competes in the long jump and
in sprints, and Wanda Fitzsim
mons, who just recently chan-
qed from sprints to the 3,000.
“Julie Siler comes in at least
first or second in every meet in
the 1,500 and the 3,000. Deb
bie Blake broke the school
record at Blue Mountain Com
munity College on April 20
when she threw the discus
129.8 feet. Janet Hess has
been a little off due to injuries,
but we’re just going to watch
and hope she can come back
for the conference meet,”
Wynia said.
Coming up on May 10 and
11 is the Region IV Champion
ships held in Roseburg or
Eugene, which includs
Washington and Oregon com
munity college teams.
But usually good things
cpme out of the bad and the
team is winning games.
They have won five of their
last six, and the team is in
third place. “Even with the
last week’s losses we play bet
ter than other teams and we
are only two games away from
first place. We have the best
hitting ball club in the league
and Brock Birch is the best pit
cher in the league,” Roeder
said.
Coach Roeder said “God, I
wish I knew how we were go
ing to come out for the season.
I know we’re going to play
good. We intend to sweep, but
it is really tough to play on the
road. We have seven kids bat
ting over 300 and one kid,
Darrell Pizer, hits 411 in
league.
“We will have to just
basically stay sharp and men
tally prepared, which is hard
in baseball. Some people don’t
know it, but baseball is a men
tally tough sport. You have to
keep yourself up for a double
header, which lasts around
five hours. That’s tough,”
Roeder said.
“Even if we don’t come out
number one, we’re still the top
team,” he added.

That’s Army math. It means that after 2 years of
college (60 semester hours or equivalent) and a 2-year
enlistment, you could have up to $21,000 to continue
your education. Courtesy of the New GI Bill + New
Army College Fund. (Effective July 1,1985).
That other 2 means you can get two years of
ROTC credit by enrolling in ROTC at the third year
level (with the approval of the college’s Professor of
Military Science) when you reenter college. You’ll earn
$100 a month in ROTC.
Qualify, and you’ll start your enlistment with a
promotion. And just because you’re out of school
doesn’t mean you stop learning. ''Xfe’ll teach you a skill
that can help you go places later.
And you’ll go places now, because we give soldiers
an opportunity to travel. And a chance to make new
friends.
