Sports Pg. 8 The Clackamas Print Wednesday, April 21. 1993 Men's track team wins Mt. Hood Relays by Paul Valencia Staffwriter Even without their top three distance runners, the Clackamas Cougars', men’s team won their fourth-straight Mt. Hood Relays competition at Lewis and Clark College, Saturday. The women’s squad, gam bling to earn more points in the sprints, lost some points in the distance relays and finished third. Still, the two teams won then- third consecutive combined title. For those who are follow ing both teams’ long winning streaks in dual meets, don’t worry about the women. Their streak is still going. The Mt Hood Relays, although competitive, do not count in meet standings since the for mat is different, with many long distance relays and less events, according to Head Coach Mike Hodges. That may also be one of the reasons Hodges sent his top three men distance runners to the Ore gon Invitational in Eugene. “We have so much depth, we didn’t need our three best long-distance runners,” he said. At the Invitational, though, Mike Hickey, Oscar Bauman and Jason Mottaz all earned personal bests against stiff competition in the 10,000-meter run.

The men continued their impressive winning streak by dominating the Mt. Hood Relays. The women also hold an outstanding record to date. fied for the Northwest champi onships. Bauman and Mottaz qualified earlier in the season, but still had impressive times of 31:54.78 and 32:14.1, respec tively. Back at Lewis and Clark, though, the men were taking care of business. The team won with ,451 points, defeating second-place Mt. Hood by 64 points. Bellevue finished in third with 48. Kris Long led the way in the field events with two personal bests in the shot put and hammer throw. In the shot, he threw 45 feet, four inches. He threw the hammer 133 feet. Mike Brown leapt 44’1 and 3/4 inches in the triple jump for a personal record, and Ryan Clay finished the 110 hurdles in 15.96 seconds for another. The women’s team fell to Bellevue, 112 and Mt Hood, 105. The Lady Cougars mustered 90 Women's success comes from behind the plate by Frank Jordan Staff Writer The Clackamas softball team continued their winning ways last week, sweeping a doubleheader from Western Oregon State by the scores of 5-0 and 4-3. The star on the mound for the first game was Jennifer Hef- flinger, who struck out four bat ters on her way to a four-hit shut out. Head Coach Paul Fiskum was very pleased with Hefflin- ger’s performance. “Her riseball was working great, the opposing hitters were really chasing it. People can tell when it is work ing by the number of fly-ball outs we had (16 out of 21 outs in the game),” he said. Emily Routson led the way for the Cougars at the plate, going two for four, with two RBI, as the Cougars scored all of the game’s runs in the second inning. Cindy Vance hit a ball almost to the loop for a triple in the middle of the rally that, in the coach’s words, “really shook them (WOSC) up. It was almost a home run, and it broke their backs.” Michelle Guertin also had two hits with an RBI for Clackamas. In the second game, Diana Clift ran her season record to 3-0 by going all the way in the 4-3 victory. Routson connected for a triple in the fifth inning, scoring Jennifer Hinman with the even tual winning run. “Diana gave up three un earned runs, with WOSC scoring their runs directly as a result of our errors. All of the errors came on difficult fielding plays, so I really can’t fault our defense,” Fiskum said. “Their hitting was pretty much spaced out, so we did a pretty good job holding them in check. “Our pitching is finally coming around,” Fiskum contin ued. “Our hitting is right where I thought it would be, and that is what is carrying us at the present time. Hopefully, the pitching and especially our defense will continue to improve.” For the season, Becky Cor- dill is leading the team in hitting with a .462 average, while Guertin is right behind, batting .433. Category leaders thus far include: Guertin, Keri Gunderson and Holly Rahn with 10 runs scored; Wynta Thompson with 11 RBI; Guertin with 13 hits; Rahn with three doubles; Gunderson with four triples; and Suzie Burk, Routson and Guertin each with one home run. Clift leads the pitching staff with a 3-0 record and a 1.67 earned run average. Cordillis 2-l,with a4.90 ERA and Hefflinger is 2-2, with an ERA of 4.08.

But it wasn’t anything to be down about, according to Hodges. “We took some gambles,” he said, explaining that he put some of his best long-distance runners in the sprints to try to gain some points. “We ended up losing some distance relays which we could have won. It was a cal culated gamble that didn’t work. “The women performed pretty well, though,” he contin ued. Next up for the Cougars is a dual met at Blue Mountain Community College in Pendle ton, Saturday. This will be the first head-to-head meeting be tween the Cougars and Spokane, “our strongest competition on the men’s side and one of the strong est on the women *s side,” Hodges said.
