While others were still relax
ing during the last days of sum
mer, the women’s volleyball team
preparing for the start of the 1989
season.
All the hard work has paid
off. The team has worked to a 4-3
record, placing second in the Walla
Walla Community College Invi
tational.
“We lost our first match of
the season, but we have come back
strong. We will go as far as what
we want to achieve. Our emotion
and power are going to carry us
through. Especially with the lead
ership of our returning players,”
stated Coach, Kathie Woods.
An example of the team’s
emotion and power was seen in a
match against Blue Mountain
Community College.
Behind 3 to 14 with theoppo-
nents in serving advantage, Woods
called a time out and told the
players to look at, their situation
as a challenge.
to the setting position,” stated
Woods.
Also returning is Casie Harker,
who lastyearwas voted First team
all-league. Harkerwas only oneof
two freshman to receive the honor.
“Harker brings a dynamic
explosiveness when she plays.
People enjoy watching her hit
because of that power,” explained
Woods.
Middle blocker Judi Bennett
is also contributing to the team.
“Bennett shows a lot of po
tential; she is a player that likes to
hit the quick sets. I expect to see a
lot from her,” said Woods.
Slowly they came back a few
points at a time. The other team
called a timeout when Clackamas
reached 10 points. The Cougars
began to feel that they could win,
and they did.
“We can be a streak team.
But in dose matches and in clutches
we can pull it out,” explained
Woods.
“As a team we play together
well. We are a lot closer this year,
especially the starting lineup,”
stated Dawn Cusick, team cap
tain.
Along with possessing emo
tional strength, the team also has
physical talent
“We are strong in every posi
tion. Physically we are in good
condition and that allows us to
stay in the whole game,” explained
team member, Tara White.
Cusick is returning this year
as team captain. Although Cusick
previously had plans to go to
Linfield, she ultimately decided
to return to Clackamas for a sec
ond year.

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.

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.

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

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.”
