the Clackamas Invitational on
Oct. 1 and finished first among
Oregon runners.

effects of a cold and promises to
improve.
“I am just now getting healthy
enough to where I can do some
thing,” he said.

A big key to the Clackamas
men’s season will depend on the
return of Ryan Burco who is ou t

Barger’s goals for 1988 in
clude compiling similar honors
in the regional and state champi
onships. It is to this end that he
trains diligently, running from
five to ten miles a day.
