Wednesday, April 20,1994__________________________ Sports__________ ______ The Clackamas Print Pg. 7 Hodges declares Webber 'Hero of the Meet' by Jesse Sowa The Print Staff Team unity is important to Head Coach Mike Hodges and his track & field teams. The teams showed their unity with a strong showing at the Mt. Hood Relays at Lewis & Clark College on Satur day. The men’s squad won the eleven-team meet with 128 points followed by Clark with 86 and Bellevue with 84. The women held off Bellevue for first place with 1 lOpoints. Bellevue followed with 82 and Mt. Hood had 76. The Cougars also won the Co-Ed com bined title with 238 points. Bellevue took second with 168. Hodges explained that the men have won that meet five years in a row and six of the last seven years. The women have won two out of the last three and Clackamas has won the co-ed title for the last four years straight. Hodges also said that the meet was set up in a format en tirely different from regular track meets. The hurdles were the only events ran as individual events, but the field events were all run the same. Hodges said that this meet is a good catapult for the rest of the season because it helps bring the team together as a whole and builds a lot of unity, which is important for such a large group. Hodges explained that depth has been an important as pect in his teams’ success through out the season and it showed again Saturday. Both teams managed to score in every event held. Maury Webber was de clared the “Hero of the Meet” by Hodges after he passed and out- sprinted his competitorfrom Clark in leading the 4 X 1600m team to a win. “He ignited the excitement of the team,” said Hodges. Thrower Kris Long came out of a small slump with two impressive wins in the hammer and the shot put.Long threw 154 feet, lOinches in the hammer and 48-61/2 in the shot put.. Craig Connors tied his personal record with a 15' 6 " effort in the pole vault. Dave Is land took an easy win in the jav elin with a throw of 194-6. Evan Vuksich took second and had a p.r. in the triple jump at 44-7 3/4. Ryan Clay reached eighth place on the all-time 110 meters hurdles list with a p.r. and a time of 15.1 seconds. The men’s 4 x 800 relay team of Adam West (1:57.2), Kevin Bartholomae (1:58.54),Leo Sanders (1:57.75), and Brian Buckingham (2:01.74) ran away with an easy win in a time of 7:55.4. Hodges was impressed with Leo Sanders two 800meter legs in the distance medley and the 4 x 800relay. Adam West helped lead the men’s team to two impressive wins with 800 meter legs, in the 4 x 800 and the distance medley. The women’s team also had some strong wins at Saturday ’ s meet. Hodges said that the women’s strength was in the throwing events where Meredith Case and Karissa Skarberg took second and third in the discus and shot put, respectively. Kami Sisk took first in the 100m hurdles with a season’s best of 15.4 seconds. The women’s 4 x 200 team ran away with first in a time of 1:49.3. That team was led by Krisite Preiskom, who ran the 200 in 25.01 seconds. Hodges said that the 4 x 800 team of Preiskorn (2:29.35>, Wendy Johnson (2:24.68), Cindy Keene (2:28.68), and Elizabeth Ribbeck (2:32.7) showed“a very fine performance.” Hodges said that within the next week or so, the teams will begin to work on less distance and more shorter runs to prepare for the regional 'championships in mid-May. Both teams will travel to Vancouver on Saturday where they will compete in a ten-team invitational at Hudson’s Bay High School. Hodges expects the meet to be a big battle with his teams facing their top rivals, Lane and Clark.
