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. Hickey, at
31 minutes, 32.18 seconds auali-

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 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.

points. 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.
