Looking back on last week
end’s triangular dual meet against
Northern Idaho College and Pa
cific Lutheran Universify Head
Wrestling Coach Jim Jackson said,
“We got hammered.”
“We got beat in the first dual
by Northern Idaho College 4-46,”
said Jackson. “We just unfortu
nately had some bad situations
where they thumped us hard. We
had one person win. Matt Lind
land (158 pound weight class) had
a major decision 12-5.” Northern
Idaho College is the reigning Junior
College National Champion.
In the second dual of the
evening the Cougars faced Pacific
Lutheran University.
“They thumped us 9-39,”
Jacksonsaid with a sigh. “Our two
wins were a forfeit to Matt Lind
land and Steve Teeney won 9-3 at
177 pounds.”
“We got thumped by both
teams,” said Jackson. “We wrestled
very tough. We were close in a lot
of situations. They are both really
good teams this year. They just
took it to us. Put together the fact
that they are both good teams,
and that we have to forfeit at 98
and heavyweight, and they are
wrestling up to their ability and
the scores just got lopsided.”
The annual Clackamas Com
munity College Invitational took
place Saturday with 165 wrestlers
competing unattached and from
14 colleges. No team scores were
kept, which allows redshirts to
participate. Northern Idaho Col
lege dominated, taking home
championships from five of the
ten weight classes. Johnson says
that the tournament is tough
competition wise because it is one
of the last major events in the
northwest before regional finals.
Teeney (177) placed fourth,
David Grieve (167) was third and
Lindland was champion at 158,
his third tournament champion
ship of the season. He was also
selected to receive the Outstand
ing Wrestler Award due to his
performance in his final match.

Why teaching?:”It’s better than
dressing in a suit and sitting be
hind a desk. I’ll be doing some
thing useful like making sure it’s
a greater world when I die.”
What kind ofcar do you drive?:”A

doors are broken, so feel free to
Oregon State Universify,” said
Jackson of Lindland’s champion
ship match, “a guy who is one of
the two people who defeated Matt
this year. Matt was avenging his
earlier loss. It was the match of
the evening. He did a super job.”
Thus far in the season Lind
land posts a 36-2 record.
On Jan. 19, the Cougars will
travel to Longview, Washington
to compete in the Northwest
Community College Champion
ships. The event is sponsored by
Lower Columbia Community
College.
Clackamas will open up
against Big Bend Community
College. If they win they will ad
vance to the second round and
face High line Community College,
the number one seeded team.
“They are a tough dual meet
team,” said Jackson of HCC. “We
beat them earlier in the year.”
Also on the agenda for the
upcoming week is a double dual at
the Oregon Institute of Technol
ogy on Jan. 29.

What would you do if you were
Clackamas’ ASG president?:
’’First of all, I like our president,
so I’d make him myassistant and
I’d get him a Harley. I’d make
sure people came to wrestling
meets and I’d make it be the big
sport I’d have everyone take
wrestling class and I’d probably
have a couple of peace rallies.”
How do you feel about the Per
sian Gulf?:”That’s a tough one.
Td say that Saddam Hussein should
be stopped, but then again we
should have a peaceful world and
a lot of people are going to get
killed and it’s too bad. I guess I’m
probably going to end up being a
hippie. I don’t think war is right.
