The Clackamas Cougars
Men’s track team is having much
success this year, and is predicted
to be in contention for the North
west Championships at the end of
the year, with part of the success
due to the return of Steve Miller.
Miller started his career in
track running and jumping for
Mollala High SchooL There, Miller
matured as a jumper and became
one of the best in the state. Be
cause of his great talents in track
and field events, Miller was re
cruited by Mike Hodges, track
coach of the Cougars.
“It was really great coming to
a college team that has always been
one of the better teams,” com
mented Miller, “I like to jump,
but I run because I am fast. It is a
great feeling to run fast, which is
why I continued my track career
out of high school.”
In Miller’s first year, he showed
signs of promise. His second year
he red shirted, only to have his
Cougars start smoking out of the
gates and wind up taking the
Northwest Championship. The
year before Miller showed his skills
by qualifying to triple jump against
the best in the Northwest.
In Miller’s third season with
the Cougars? and as a team cap-
"It was really
great coming to a
college team that
has always been one
of the better team."
tain, he sees a lot of potential
from his teammates.
Miller owes his team’s suc
cess to their athletic ability and
their hard work.
“The whole team really gets
out there and works hard like every
meet is the Championship,”
commented Miller, “We really
want to win.”
Miller sees the Cougars more
united than last year; every one
gets along so well. The rest of the
credit Miller gives to Hodges.
“Hodges has so many things
to do and his time is spread so
thin, he has done just an outstand
ing job to get us where we are,”
commented Miller.
In last couple of meets, Miller
has been sitting out with an in
jury. He’s hopeful to be healed
soon so he can complete once again
in the Northwest Championship.
This year being Miller’s last
year, he has decided to block trans
fer to the University of Oregon in
Eugene next year to continue his
collegiate track career. Miller is
still undecided on what he wants
his major to be.
The only thing Miller would
like to see change at Clackamas in
the track is the track.
“We have such a good pro
gram here; it is a shame we have to
run on that track,” stated Miller.
In Miller is plans for the fu
ture, he hopes to make a stop in
Europe and stay somehow around
the track scene.
Steve Miller started off strong until injuries sidelined him. He

Cougars suffer pitching injuries...
Cougars drop 2 of 3 on road trip to Chiefs, Saints
by Mark A. Borrelli
Editor-in-Chief
The Clackamas Cougars con
tinued on their 10-game road swing,
with a pair of double headers at
Chemeketa and Mt. Hood. De
spite playing improved baseball,
the Cougars didn’t fare well, drop
ping three of four games.
The Cougars were in Salem
last Tuesday to face the Cheme
keta .Chiefs in a twin bill. The
Cougars put together a good ef
fort, but came up short losing 5-1.
Don Nelsen started on the mound
for the Cougars, and pitched four
innings allowing all 5 runs before
being replaced by Jim Squires.
Squires kept the Chiefs’ bats quiet,
but the Cougars failed to produce
any runs.
John Bennent had a good day
at the plate going 3-4. Squires went
2-4, and also plated the Cougars
only run, with a solo home run in
the sixth inning,
The second game saw the
Cougar bats become silent. Clacka
mas was held to just four hits, but
still managed two runs, but it wasn’t
enough, as Chemeketa completed
the sweep with a 7-2 win.
“It was a rainy, yucky, muddy
kind of day,” described Coach
Robin Robinson.
“Our bats werequiet, we hit a
lot of fly balls, and we had 10
ground outs.”
Blues Buckles started for the
Cougars, but lasted just three
innings. Brady Miller came on in
relief, and didn’t allow an earned
run.
After disappointing results at
Chemeketa, Clackamas packed
their bags and headed to Gresham
to face cross-town rival Mt. Hood.
After getting humiliated 18-1
the last time they faced Mt. Hood,
Clackamas went into the game
with revenge on their mind. Al
though Clackamas couldn’t man-,
age a win in game one, the result
was certainly à lot more respect
able than last time, as they lost 9-
6.
“We played very well, we made
some great defensive plays, but
we gavé up 4 unearned runs, and
that cost us the ball game,” said
Robinson.

Tim Ensley was 2-4, John
Bennett was 1-4 with two RBIs.
Robinson was beaming wi th pleas
ure on his team’s performance at
Mt. Hood.
“We played those games re
ally well. We’re definitely playing
better-more competitive,” said
Robinson.
Clackamas has been hurt by
the loss of ace pitcher Tim Aren-

Clackamas sent a trio of pitch
ers to life mound, and Nelsen,
Miller, and Brian Gillette all turned
in a fine performance.
Gage Campbell was the hot
bat for the Cougars going 2-2.
The fourth and final game for
Clackamas proved to be the best
one, as they nipped Mt. Hood 4-3.
Clackamas had* just 5 hits; but
according to Robinson, “They were
all timely hits.”
