Cougar runners come up short in Southern Regional meet by Paul Valencia. Staff Writer Mother Nature paid# visit to the Clackamas Cougar cross coun try squads at the Southern Re gional Championships at Sandy High School on Saturday. She wasn’t in a good mood. The men and women’s squads, which had members suf fering from sickness and injuries, finished second and third, respec tively. On the brighter side, how ever, Cougar Cruz Gonzalez took the individual men’s title. Clark edged outClackamas for the men’s title, beating the Cougars 34-36. Mt. Hood wound up third with 74. The Lady Cou gars ended up with a score of 52, losing to first-place Clark, 36, and ruriner-up Mt. Hood, 51. “It was just one of those things that happens in athletics,” said Head Coach Mike Hodges of his team’s unfortunate luck. Of his men’s 12-member squad, only seven competed. On the eight member women’s team, only five ran the course. “In both cases, we lost our number-one person,” Hodges said. Defending Northwest champion Mike Hickey suffered through the week prior to the meet with asth matic bronchitis andcouldn’trun. “He wanted to, but we wouldn ’ t let him,” the coach sáidof his runner’s competitive nature. The women’s top runner, Cindy Keene, wasn’t even at the meet. “I made her stay home because I didn’t want her to get everyone else sick,” Hodges said. Keene had the flu. “In athletics, if you don’t take care of your athletes, sooner or later you don’t have good ath letes,” Hodges explained. Besides, Hodges and the Cougars have bigger and better things to prepare for, such as the Northwest Championships which are craning up Nov. 6 in Longview, Wash. And Hodges expects his teams to bounce back. ' “If you are a true competitor and true champion, it shows by how you respond (to a loss),” he. said. “They were not happy with the results. We will re-focus and try to get healthy.” Onepersonwhodoesn’tneed to get healthy is Gonzalez, who took the Southern title as a fresh man. SLy® “He ran a very strong race,” Hodges said. “He ran near the front from the beginning and at about theone-mile mark,he moved into the lead and stretched it out from there.” Hodges said that Kevin Bartholomae had one of his best meets in a Cougar uniform. Bartholomae finishedas the team’s number-three runner. “He bad never finished higher than sixth for us before. He met the chal lenge.” On the women’s side, Hodges noted Elizabeth Ribbeck, Anna Strodtman and Arah Ogle, who finished fifth, tenth and elev enth? in the Southern meet Hodges said he hopes his teams will be ready to go for the Northwest meet. He predicted a battle between Clark, Bellevue, Spokane and Clackamas for the women’s championship. “With a large group of teams like that, every place really matters.” On the men’s side, Hodges said to look for a battle between the Cougars and Clark.
