SPORTS THE PRINT First time in ten years... by Luis Perez staff writer the over length course with a time of 32:06. Clackamas as a team tied Mt Hood for second with a score of 59. Lane won the team title with a score of 32. Other Clackamas finishers were Dusty Moore 6th at 33:02. Mike Paulsen 11th at 33:51.20th Rich Lilgenberg at 34:37. 22nd was Bob Uttely at 36:02. 24th Mark Paulsen 36:30, and Jack Kegg finished 25th with a time of 31:21. Despite finishing tied for second, Coach Hodges was very pleased with his men’s efforts. “Our men competed well. De spite injuries, and course prob lems we ran real well. I was real proud of them for overcoming that, and having a successful season,”he said. The men are hoping to fin ish in the top five at the North west meet comi ng up in two weeks, but will have to beat some tough competition. “I would say High- line is the overwhelming favor ite, but we should battle Mt Hood for the fourth spot,” he said. Both teams will take a week off before the Northwest meet at Lane Nov 12. If it seemed like a lot of Clackamas runners finished very close to each other, that’s be cause they did. “That was our best group ing ever,” commented Hodges. Hodges also feels that his team’s performance was the best of the season. “That was definitely our best team, and individual effort of the season. “I was named Coach of the year for women. I’ve won that before for the men, but never women. This is kinda special." The Clackamas Women’s cross country team did what no other women’s team at Clacka mas Community College had done before. They won a State Cham pionship Saturday, Oct. 29 at Linn-Benton Community Col lege. “This is the first title for the Clackamas women in ten years,” said Coach Mike Hodges. “This is the best women’s team that I’ve had at Clackamas.” “In fact,” Hodges went on, “this-is the best women’s team that I’ve ever coached anywhere.” The Cougars claimed first place by beating second place Lane by 23 points. Clackamas won with a score of 26, Lane had 49, Clark 73, and Mt Hood had 75 points. Once again it was Karin Merritt leading the pact for the Cougars. Just as she has done all year, Merritt finished first for Clackamas, and second overall. “She’s been our nu .iberone runner all year, but Karmay’s getting closer,” noted Hodges. Karmay Bond was right behind Merritt, finishing 3rd at 20:08. Laurie Schutt was 6th at 2059. Heather McElheny was 7th at 21:03. Angie Wright was Sth at 21:07. Sonya Hult was 11th at 21:17, and Leona Burke rounded things off for the champions fin ishing 23rd with a time of 25:58. "This is the best women's team that I've ever coached anywhere." The next step for the women, and Hodges is the Northwest championship Nov 12 at Lane Community College. “The race should be between us, and Spokane,” Hodges said. “I think we group better, we will give them a real battle.” On the afternoon that the women had a very successful day, the men also did very well, and had, some fun along the way. “The course got fouled up, and some runners ended up run ning to long of a course.” None of this mattered for Nick Barger who dominated the course, dusted his nearest opponent, an finished The whole season hinges on the next two weeks for Clacka mas Volleyballers in their quest for post-season glory. The Cou gars finished this week iln fourth place, with a 3-6 league record, and are desperately clinging to the final playoff spot. The Cougars started the week slowly, losing a non-league con test to Western Oregon in four sets. Clackamas rebounded Wednesday defeating Linn- Ben ton 15-6,15-5,10-15,18-20, and 15-7 avenging an earlier home loss. Friday’s match against Umpqua found Clackamas being swept in straight sets against a powerful team tied for the league lead. Cougar Coach Kathie Woods still found bright spots in her team’s performance. “Actually we did play pretty well. When you get over 10 points a gameit shows that you can beat anyone,” Woods said. There are other reasons for optimism as the Cougars enter the home stretch. One is the overall improvement in team defense. Another is the contin ued improvement of freshman spiker Judi Bennett. Bennett reg istered 18 kills against Western Oregon, scored four service aces against Linn- Benton and capped off an outstanding week with 13 digs at Umpqua Friday. Of primary importance to the Cougars psychologically, is the upcoming Clackamas Cross over Tournament on Nov. 4 and 5. Clackamas is hosting the eight top teams in Oregon and Wash ington in this prestigious event. While the outcome has no bear ing on the league race, Coach Woods thinks that a strong show ing is important for her team’s psyche. “I think everyone is improv ing. They are having high points but we are still not as consistent as we will be next week,” she said. Coach Woods is concerned by the poor attendance gener ated by her team this season. “I would like to extend a special invitation to the Faculty, the staff and the students to come out and see some good, high quality vol leyball this weekend,” Woods said.
