Cougar' harriers off to quick start by Amber Cordry Staff Writer As the season of 1989 begins, the Clackamas Community Col lege Men’s and Women’s cross country team has proven strong and competitive. Coach Mike Hodges feels very confident that they will have a powerful season with overwhelming statistics. “I feel this is the best team I have ever coached,” commented Hodges in regards to the’89 cross country men’s team, “the women should be as good as last season.” Hodges continued by saying that the women had an outstand ing season last year and will be very successful of they maintain their level of competition. Results of the beginning meets coincides with Hodges outlook on the season. The men and women have been Northwest champions for three years. Highline College isone of the victories on the men’s record, along with Whitman, Clark Community and Lane Commu nity College. The women achieved victory over Clark Community as well. “Strong runners close together (ending times) coupled with a lot OAre f You pregnant ? crisis pregnancy center Chris Nylen, last year’s most improved player, also has a return engagement with the team. “(Nylen) works very hard at becoming the best player that she can be. A very strong player,” described Woods. Another setter, Erin Elder, is also rejoining the team. “Elder had developed a lot more confidence in her playing. She brings quickness, a good leap ing ability, and intelligence to the floor,” stated Woods. The sixth returning player is Diane Hinman. “Although (Hinman) doesn’t of talent and depth,” was how Hodges explained the success of the men’s team. Hodges stated that “Angie Wright is one of the best runners in the Northwest. She has been an incredible asset to the women’s team.” Hodges also stated that he did not see any weakpoints which might hinder the success of either of the teams. " Clackamas cross country has several returning runners this year. The men have Nick Barger, who was the State Community College Cross Country Champion in 1988. Dusty Moore, from Franklin High School, who was the State Com munity College Track Champion in 1989, and also Mike and Marc Paulson from Gladstone. Returning runners for the women are Angie Wright, from Newberg High School; Karmay Bond, from Oregon City High School; and Sonja Hult, from Jefferson High School. New members of the team consist of Gene Banderhorst, Kevin Buse, Mike Tierney, Shaun Ferguson, Kim Wright, Alison Htinson, Siobhan Kennedy and Sunshine Guzman. Another asset to the team, is high motivation. The runners have set high goals for themselves not only for personal achievement, but also to have their running liope- fully bring them scholarships at four-year colleges. Said Angie Wright, “I want to take my running as far as it will go. I don’t know my limits because I haven’t readied them yet and don’t expect to until my mid to late twenties.” The Men’s and Women’s Cross Country teams are currently pre paring for their upcoming event, the Willamette University Invita tional in Salem. They will be run ning against 20 to 30 teams from the Northwest. “It’s hard to tell how we are going to do,” remarked Hodges regarding the upcoming event, “I feel we will place in the top two of the community college teams and also beat our share of the four- year schools. The (four-year stu dent’s) physical maturity gives them a definite advantage over our fresh man and sophomore runners.” Norm's Would like to welcome all the stu dents and faculty back to school!
