“It was a tough loss (the fi
nals) for Matt. It went right down
to the final buzzer. At one point I
thought it would go into over
time,” stated Coach Jim Jackson.
Although Hobson also quali
fied ,he will not be wrestling in the
Nationals. Hobson sustained what
was thought to be a rib injury during
the Clackamas Invitational. But
after being re-injured during the
regionals, which forced an injury
default in the finals, it was discov
ered that Hobson had broken his
sternum.
“Lance re-injured it in the
semi-finals, but in spite of it he
had his opponent on his back in
the finals but couldn’t finish him
off due to the injury. Lance showed
a lot of mental toughness in that
final match; having to default was
a big disappointment for him,”
explained Jackson.
Other Cougars also finished
high but just missed qualifying.

Time to strike
Now that the sun has de
cided to come out and remind
us that Spring is around the
corner, it is time to start think
ing of and warming up for those
sports that happen during the
summer like golf, tennis, and
picnic softball games.
Won’t it be great to drag
out the tennis racket and golf
clubs and work on a tan while
perfecting your game?
At least with these sports
you don’t have to rely on any
one to play the sport while you
watch. You only have yourself
to blame if you or friends can’t
get out there and play on your
field of “expertise.”
Yes, I have ignored the sport
that people connect very much
with sitting in the summer sun.
.. baseball.
1 love baseball, but as of
this moment the sport is not at
the top of my favorite things to
talk about. Due to a disagree
ment between players and man
agement there is a lockout, which
means spring training has not
started.
My opinion is not here to
be on the players’ side or man
agement’s side. Frankly, I don’t
feel sorry for either side.
This is getting to be a regu
lar event and some fans are
getting a little tired of it. Maybe
this year the fans should pull
their own strike by not attend
ing the games when play resu
mes. Maybe they will remember
this is a consumer product. No
fans means no ticket sales, which
equals no money for owners,
which eq uals no pay for players.
Owners, I know, didn’t buy
their teams so they could have a
expensive toy,. They want to
make money, but do they have
the right to hold the fans hos
tage?
Players are also in this for
the money; the days of playing
only for the love of the sport
have long since gone. They do
deserve money for the services
they perform (some do get too
much for their actual skills, but
that is another issue). But how
high would those salaries be (if
they would even be playing), if
the fans weren’t there to sup
port them?
Our forefathers were able
to arm promise on a document
that is the basis of our country.
The union and management can’t
even compromise on a docu
ment that will only last for a few
years.
When this agreement (yes,
we will get one) is just about
over, there will need to be some
serious negotiations happening
earlier than a week before the
deadline. Or maybe after the
next strike, fans should stay home
and give their tennis rackets and
golf clubs some real workouts.

Teams score well indoors
by Staci Beard
Sports Editor
While the outdoor season has
yet to begin the track team has
participated in two indoor meets.
The first was January 20 at the
Portland Indoor, then another at
the Eugene Indoor on February 2.
A number of fine perform
ances were turned in at the Port
land meet. Starting with Tim
Beardall who put in a lifetime best
in the 1500 meters of 4:11.5.
Taking first in the men’s 400
meter heats were CCC’s Dave
Larson in 50.6 and Todd Gibson
at 52.4, while Randy Fish took
second in his heat in 53.2.
For their best of the day in
the long jump, Steve Miller took
off for 22’7", and Malcolm Parker
landed at 21’11".
Bringing in good times in the
3000 meter run were Gene Bran-
derhorst with 9:07.6, Bob McCrum
in 9:08.2, and Angie Wright with
11:25.
Two hurdlers were also able
to place in 55 meter hurdles. Taking
third was Erika Lorentson at 8.7.
In the men’s, Kyle Riggs took fifth
at 8.0.
At the Eugene meet, Coach
Mike Hodges felt that the team
performed their week’s best.
A number of personal and
seasonal bests were put in by the
Cougars.
Miller put in the most out
standing effort with 47’7" triple
jump effort. It broke the school
record by five inches.
Breaking his best ever by ten
inches was Greg Hess in the pole
vault by vaulting 15 feet.
Beardall set a personal best
in the 3000 meter with a sixth
placefinish in 8:58.6. Marty McK-
innis put out a personal best in the
shot put with a 34’8" effort.
Rounding out the bests was
Chris Nylcn, whose 37’11" shotput
was a season’s best for her.
Three members placed in the
50 meter hurdles heats. Taking
first was Crane in 6.9, placing
second in 7.1 was Riggs, and
Lorentson finished up fourth in
7.9 in his heat.
Wright finished very strong
with a second-place finish in the
women’s 3000 meter at 11:08.8.
Taking third in the 1500 meter
was McCrum with a 4:04.6 finish.
Clackamas had two high fin
ishers in the 1000 meter run by
Kevin Buse who placed third with
a time of 2:40.6 and Shaun
Ferguson took seventh with 2:42.7.
In the jumping events ,Elou-
ise Williams took fifth, with a leap
of 15’6" while Riggs took sixth in
the men’s jump, a best of 21’9".
In the triple jump, Williams
also took fourth, with a distance
of 34’7", and in the high jump
David Bate turned in a leap of
6’4".
other times in the season. Kelly
was a takedown away from going
into the finals. He had to wrestle
back to get to the semis. I was very
pleased because wrestling back is
not easy to do,” stated Jackson.
Two more Cougars were also
able to place: Albert Alcantar took
fourth at 134, while James Wil
liams also placed fourth at 158.
With the success of these
individuals, the Cougars took third
place out of seven teams with its
team score of 32-1/2. It placed
behind fifth-ranked Ricks College
which had 85 points and number-
two ranked North Idaho which
tallied up'100-1/2 points.
“I think the team wrestled to
the fullest of our abilities. We have
to have one of the toughest re
gional competitions with both the
second and fifth-ranked teams in
the nation as competition. Every
thing for us just fell into place at
the right time,” said Jackson.
Lindland will be traveling to
Bismarck, North Dakota for the
National Tournament on Febru
ary 19 and 20.
