Sports THE CLACKAMAS PRINT May 3,1989 Page 12 Track teams prepare for state Roseann Wentworth Copy Editor During an Open Invitational at University of Oregon in Eu gene Saturday, the men’s and women’s Clackamas track teams made it a day to truly improve personal lifetime records. In the men’s discus, first place finisher Jim Allen hurled his life time best to 154’4" as did John Nelson, who came in second with 139 feet. The girls’ discus throwers didn’twanttobeleftout Jennifer Chandler and Pam Pember broke their lifetime bests. Chandler threw an outstanding 110*6" while Pem ber threw 102 feet, respectively. Allen showed off his throw ing strength in the shot-put heav ing it 44’8" to second place. For the women, Chris Nylen tossed a great distance of 38’1", enough to land her in third place in the shot and chucked the javelin 137’11", again for third. In other field events, Reese Campbell of the men’s team reached his seasonal best in the High Jump with 6’6-3/4" as did Cathy Robarge in the Women’s Long Jump, flying to 15’11-1/2". Greg Hess held out for 5th place in the Men’s Pole Vault with 14’6". Both men’s and women’s track events proved fruitful for most everyone competing for Clacka mas. In the Men’s 200m dash, Todd Gibson tied with his lifetime best of 21.9, while in the women’s 200, Cathy Robarge hit her seasonal best with 27 seconds flat. In the 400m, Todd Gibson grabbed first place with a time of 49.2 and Tim Nickel placed 4th in the 800m with 1:56.8, a personal all-time best. Nate Golden heads out of the blocks In a recent track practice. Mets, Athletics to meet in 1989 World Series Sports Grid Mark A. Borrelli The 1989 baseball season is upon us and already there are some baseball teams making some sur prising noise. The Texas Rangers can no longer be called the “strang ers.” Their off-season moves are proving to be valuable, at least for now. How about them Atlanta Braves? Are they playing some respectable ball now, or what? The Braves have some decent young talent that has token them from terrible to average. Although these teams are off to a good start, don’t look for a pennant in their very near future. Both teams have some undeni able talent, but the Braves are far too young and.the Rangers will be out of contention by August So, without further ado, I give you my picks for the 1989 season.

This is probably a pretty good bet, but I wouldn’t say that they are a sure thing. They should get challenged by the Chicago Cubs and the Pitts burgh Pirates. The Cubs have a plethora of young talent and if their pitching can come through, they could prove challenging. The Pirates are blessed with some power: Andy VanSlyke, Bobby Bonilla and Barry Bonds. They also have some pretty decent pitch ing, but a key injuty to prime starter, VanSlyke could hurt them. They also lost ace reliever Jim Gott. That will hurt them also. Here is the probable order of the N.L. East finishers: 1. New York Mets 2. Chicago Cubs 3. Pittsburgh Pirates 4.SL Louis Cardinals 5. Monteal Expos 6. Philadelphia Phillies National League West: Los Angeles will not, I repeat, will not repeat in the west. Tlieir luck of a year ago is gone.

Expe rienced in landscape work, paint ing (both exterior and interior work), as well as tree farm work I will be 17 in June and have a driver’s license. Hard worker, dependable. only team in this division that has pennant talent is Cincinnati. The Padres are young and talented, but underline the word young. The Dodgers will finish third, if that. I don’t care if Gibson does have a great attitude and if Mickey Hatcher always hustles, they don’t have that much talent all around. They have one pitcher and some old veterans who they brought in to try to help them repeat victory. The Dodgers are getting old. Look for them to be back at their old ways of dodging balls. The Braves are good, they have some pretty good young talent, but are a few years away from challenging for the whole year. Here is the finish order for the N.L west: 1. Cincinnati Reds 2. San Diego Padres 3. Los Angeles Dodgers 4. San Francisco Giants 5. Houston Astros 6. Atlanta Braves Toronto Blue Jays (as much as I hate to admit it) are probably the best team in the east. They cer tainly have the power with George Bell, Fred McGriff and Jesse Barfield. If they get any pitching at all, theywillwalk away with this division. The only other decent team is the Milwaukee Brewers. Any team that has to do with Brew gets my attention, but not my re spect. They have solid hitting, but not enough pitching to contend. It shouldn’t take more than a .500 record to win this division. 1. Toronto Bluejays 2. Milwaukee Brewers 3. Boston Red Sox 4. New York Yankees 5. Clevland Indians 6. Detroit Tigers 7.
