There was nothing un
usual about Saturday’s track and
field meet at Linn-Benton Com
munity College in Albany as
Clackamas Cougars chalked up a
couple more wins for their records.
The men’s squad ran
away with what was supposed to
be a close meet, beating Lane
Community College 130-88. The
women came away with a 107-80
win over Lane..
Head Coach Mike
Hodges explained that, because of
bad weather his teams were fo
cused more on competing than
trying for the top performances
because of the weather. But this
didn’t stop some of his athletes
from reaching peak performances.
Dave Harnsberger (hammer),
Brent Roeger (10,000 meters),
Meredith Case (discus) and Cindy
Keene (1500 meters) all qualified
for spots in the Northwest Cham
pionship, bringing the total to 30
spots for the men and 25 spots for
the women.
Harnsberger qualified
with a fifth place throw of 130 feet,
4 inches in the discus. Roeger won
the 10,000 and qualified with a
time of 32 minutes, 52.2 seconds.
Reinhard took second in the pole
vaultatl3’6”. Case qualified and
also reached the Clackamas All

Time Top 10 with a throw of
121*10” in thediscus. Keene took
second behind teammate Wendy
Johnson in the 1500 meter, but
still qualified with a time of 5:05.2.
Other strong perfor
mances on the men's side included
first-place finishesby Dave Island
in the javelin at 190’ 11”, the 400
relay team in a time of 43.9 and
Kevin Bartholomae in the 1,500
meters withatimeof4:14.2. Ryan
Clay, Chad McIntire, and Mike
Thompson swept the top three
spots in the 110 meter high hurdles.
Evan Vuksich won the long jump
at20’2” and Jason West cruised to
a win in the 800 with a time of
1:58.3.
“The whole team is im
proving at a very consistant rate,”
said Hodges. The women’s team
definitely proved him right. Other
first-place finishes for the women
included Case in the shot put at
36’61/2”, KristiePreiskom in the
high jump at 4’ 101/2” and Kami
Sisk in the 200 at 27.1 seconds.
Keene Johnson and Annie Boitano
swept the top three spots in the
3,000. Preiskom also won the
triple jump at 33’ 5 3/4”.
The teams travel to the
ML Hood ¿elays at Lewis and
Clark College on Saturday, where
they’ve had a lot of success in the
past.
Hodges is pleased with
the way his team is coming along.

I find it hard to agree
with Dwight Jaynes’ opinion ar
ticle in The Oregonian on March
7. Jaynes agrees with Ed
Blumenauer’s idea that out-of-
towngolferswhoplay on Portland's
public courses should be charged
an extra $2 to help save high
school sports in the Portland
School District
Blumenauer, Portland’s
current city commissioner, says
that this surcharge would raise
about $400,000 per year for high
school athletics in the Portland
School District. He has used his
power to influence such groups as
the OSAA (Oregon Student Ac
tivities Association), the Portland
City Council, and the Portland
School District.
This man has had two
children who have played high
school sports in Portland, and he
says that the students need sports.
He also states that “athletic pro
grams are the difference between
saving and losing kids.”
Blumenauer believes that Port
land will lose families that are
vital to the future if sports are not
savedin the city’s schools. He says
this because he thinks that people
won’t want to move to Portland if
there are no sports programs in
the schools.
Blumenauer has become
upset that nothing significant has
been done to help save the sports
programs. He believes this idea he
has will work.
Jaynes doesn’t believe
that an extra $2 for a roundof golf
would keep the “outsiders” from
coming to Portland to play. He
explains that he thinks that those
people who live outside Portland
and use any sports facility or pub
lic venue should pay an extra tax
since they didn’thelp pay for these
places in the first place. Did these
city folks expect no one but them
selves to be able to use thesefacili-
ties?
Why not charge those
who attend the Class 4A
state playoffs and
tournaments every year in
Portland a couple extra
dollars?
Should it really be the out-
of-town golfers who pay for the
city kids to play sports? I don’t
think so. Not having sports in the
city will not have a very big effect
on the number of people moving
into Portland. Those with chil
dren are likely to settle down in a
smaller area than a metropolitan
jungle.
Jaynes
says
that
Portland’s public golf courses are
some of the cheapest around. I
can think quite clearly of a lot of
courses that are less expensive
than $13 a round: Evergreen,
Ranch Hills, and Frontier, just to
name a few.
I do think that another
$2 added to golfing fees would
turn off those coming from out
side Portland. The prices right
now aren’t as affordable as those
in the surrounding areas. I’m sure
that most people would rather
golf outside the city than pay
more money on top of what could
already be considered too much.
This would allow many of the
slower city golfers to play at any
rate of speed that they wanted.
There’s no reason why
someone living outside Portland,
but using the public facilities,
should have to pay more than the
city dwellers. There are many
more people that live in the city
who use the facilities than those
who don’t live in Portland.
Why not charge those
that attend the Class 4A state
playoffs and tournaments every
year in Portland a couple extra
dollars?Thesewouldincludefoot-
ball, soccer, basketball, and wres
tlingplayoffs. Wouldn’tthis make
more sense than charging some
one who might have nothing to
do with high school sports?

Former Colton High
School and Clackamas Commu-
nityColIege wrestler Jason Baurer
has found success academically
and athletically since transferring
to Pacific University in Fewest
Grove last fall.
Baurer placed third at
the NAIA National Tournament
in the 190-lb. weight class and
finished the season with a 24-6
record. Baurer was a state cham
pion wrestler at Colton before
moving on to Clackamas. He also
made the Dean’s List at Pacific
for academics.
“Jason is the most physi
cally-educated athlete we have,”
said Pacific Wrestling- Coach
Larry Nugent “He works on all
different levels of conditioning
and uses that strategy to his ben
efit.”
Nugent explained that
Baurer wasn’t challenged at the
regional level, and that the only
wrestler that Baurer lost to at the
national tournament was the even
tual national champion. He also
said that he was excited about
having Baurer back for next year.
Baurer’s former coach
at Clackamas, Jim Jackson, also
had some high compliments for
Baurer.
“Jason is one of our posi
tive situations. Jason is a tremen
dous individual both academically
and athletically. His desire and
work ethic are great”
Jackson believes that
Clackamas will be able to point to
Baurer as a“good recruiting tool”
because he is so “noticeable.”
In his second year at Clackamas,
Baurer was injured at the regional
tournament and had to be taken to
the hospital for a possible broken
arm. Jackson believed that Baurer
would have finished the season as
an All-American had he not been
injured.
This all-around student
has qualified for the NAIA All-
Star Team, which will be compet
ing in June. The team will travel to
several Eastern Russian cities to
wrestle against the Russian all
stars.
Baurer’s trip to Russia
will cost $800, and any donations
would be greatly appreciated. For
more information, contact Bob
Kickner at Pacific at 357-6151.
