The Clackamas Cross Coun
try team turned in another great
performance Saturday at the Wil
lamette Invitational, as both
teams finished second among the
community colleges competing.
“We did very well,” summed
up Coach Hodges. Yet against
the overall competition, both
teams finished in the middle of
the pack.
Hodges commented that
there were some strong teams
from as far away as Simon Fraser
University in Vancouver, Can
ada, who placed third overall
behind Nike Portland and Hum
boldt State.
The men’s side continued to
improve upon their performance
of last week and placed with a
closer time deferential than at the
home meet last week.
“Once again, we finished well
ahead of the other community
colleges,” commented Hodges.
“It was the best overall perform
ance together as a team.”
Gene Branderhorst once
again was the first one on the
team to cross the finish line. He
placed 8th overall with a time of
25:33. Freshman Billy Borkus
finished next at 12th, and
clocked 26:06. Mike Paulson
completed the 8k run 21st at
26:31, Nathan Matlock was 24th
at 26:52, and Tim Marshall
"/f was the best over
all performance to
gether as a team."
- Coach Hodges
wound up in 27th with a time of
27:28.
The women finished ex
tremely well, placing 9th over
all, and 2nd among community
colleges, but were outdistanced
by Pacific Lutheran and Univer
sity of Oregon who were the top
team finishers.
“The girls also had their
best time as a team,” reflected
Coach Hodges.
Not only did they have their
best time, but also whipped a few
four year institutions, namely Wil
lamette, Southern Oregon, West
ern Oregon, Eastern Oregon, and
Lewis & Clark.
The individual results show
just how strong the team is. Last
week, only Roni Del Sol finished
under 20 minutes. At the Willam
ette Invitational, three clocked
under the 20 minute mark.
Del Sol (finished 9th), who
continued her success and seems to
be mounting a streak of under 20
minute finishes, concluded the race
with 19:30. Stephanie Rosen (12)
finished at 19:58, Kristy Morgan
(13th) with 20:08, Sonia Schmu-
land (16th) at 20:48, and Dianna
Pollack (17th) concluded the team
with 21:04.
Both teams are on the right
track to repeat as State Champi
ons, according to Hodges. Hodges
hopes the team will continue its
success this Saturday at Eastern
Oregon Invitational in LaGrande.
As they make a bid for the playoffs...
Cougars tie for 3rd, face a 'must win' tonite
by Brenda Hodgen
Sports Writer
Tonight’s match up with
Linn-Benton Community Col
lege is a “must win” for the Cou
gar Volleyball team according to
Coach Kathie Woods.
“They’re below us in league
with a record of 1-5, but we’re not
far ahead at 2-4,” Woods stated.
“We really need this win if we
want to reach our goal of making
the play-offs.”
Woods is confident that the
ladies can pull it off, yet they are
preparing for a genuine battle.
“There will definitely be a
good fight,” she explained. “In
the past years,we’ve seemed to
have bad luck down there; we just
don’t seem to do well. But, we can
win; and, since we know we have
to, we’ll be ready.”
The Cougars traveled to Sa
lem over the weekend for the

Invitational where they tied for
third place with Yakima Valley
Community College.
The tournament consisted of
eight teams and lasted from 9 a.m.
to 7 p.m. Saturday.
The teams were divided into
two pools of four to play off for
standings. Once standings were
determined, the team who took
first in each pool played the team
who finished last in the opposite
pool; the team that finished sec
ond played the opposite team at
third and so on.
The first team we played Sat
urday morning was Mt. Hood
which was tough after our loss to
them on Wednesday,” explained
Woods. “We wanted to get them
back, but we just didn’t have
enough momentum.”
The Cougars took fourth in
their pool, moved on to defeat
Green River Community Col
lege, then suffered a second loss
to Mt. Hood for the day which left
them in a tie for third.
The team competed without
Freshman Wendy Haugen who
was out for the weekend on per

boe who was ill with the flu.

much different story. Although the
rival Saints won the match 3-2, the
Cougars played well according to
Woods.
“It was a great match. There
were a lot of people, which helped.
The girls played really well, but it
was just one that they let get away,”
said Woods.
Clackamas’ scores were 15-6,
16-18,15-7,6-15 & 6-15.
“We won the first and third
games, and had game point in the
second game. If we wouldn’t have
lost that, we would have had three
straight on Mt Hood,” Woods
continued. “I think we’re the clos
est anyone’s gotten to a win against
them. We have another try in
league, so we’ll get them then.”
