Newspaper Page TextThe Clackamas Print Page 10 Wednesday, April 26,1994 SPORTS Sanders, Abramson lead track team at Linn-Benton by Jesse Sowa Sports Editor The Clackamas Track teams had several outstanding perfor mances last Saturday at Linn- Benton Community College, but the overall team scores were not as impressive. The Cougar men finished third with 46 1/3 points in the four-way meet be ll i n d Clark CC (90 1/3) and Lane CC (64 1/ 3) and ahead of Linn-Benton CC (4). The Clackamas women took sec ond with 38 points, trailing Lane CC (92). The Cougars defeated Clark (30.5) and Linn-Benton CC (19.5). The men’s team finished at 10-3 in league duals, which put them at third place in the South ern Region behind Clark CC and Lane CC. The women finished 9- 4, also good enough for third. The Lane women dominated league competition and are a shoe-in for the regional title. The Clackamas women will likely end up in a dog fight for second with Mt. Hood CC. The men won five individual events and were led by Leo Sand ers, who took first at 800 and 1500 meters. Sanders times were 1:55.5 and 3:57.7, respectively. Mike Thompson won the 400-meter hurdles in 55.2 and placed second in the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.8. Jim Hagemann took the javelin crown with a throw of 182-0 to move up to the tenth spot on the all-time Clackamas list. Will Haskins won the 5000-meter race in 15:51. In what Coach Mike Hodges considered the best perfor mance of the day, Brent Roeger took sec ond on the 3000- meter steeple chase in 9:28. This time was an eight-second personal improvement for Roeger and moved him up to the number nine spot on the all-time list. Bill Hurford placed second in the pole vault at 15-0 to move him from ninth to a tie for fifth on the all-time list. Quinton Robinson placed third at 400 meters in 50.3 to qualify for the regional meet. Other regional qualifiers included Dean Rowell at 1500 meters (fourth, 4:07) and Jon Miller in the shot (third, 44-7.25), discus (130-7) and hammer (136-6). Melissa Abramson led the women’s team with a first in the 400-meter hurdles (65.2) that ties her for fifth on the all-time list. Abramson also placed second in the 100-meter hurdles (15.5) and a ran a strong leg on the second- place 400-meter relay team. This was a much better team effort. Jaime Fairchild won the 3000-meter race in a season’s best of 11:06 and took third at 1500 (5:04). Misty Forgey placed sec ond in the high jump at 4-11. Wendy Johnson had a good day with second in the 1500 meters (5:03) and third at 800 meters (2:30). Marea Crowe and Kathy Shuey finished second and third at 400 meters with times of 60.8 and 61.2, respectively. Kami Sisk had a good day too,” Hodges said of his all- around athlete. Sisk took fourth in both the 100 and 200 meters. She also ran strong legs on both the runner-up 400- and 1600- meter relay teams. The 400-meter relay team finished in 49.9 sec onds. Rebecca Graham placed fourth in the 3000-meter race in 11:21. Hodges attributed the stron ger performances to the weather. “This is a much better team ef fort,” said Hodges of the improve ment last weekend over the Mt. Hood Relays the week before. . Clackamas will compete at the Western Oregon Open, a non scoring meet, this Saturday begin ning at 10 a.m Hodges hopes that getting away from the scoring aspect on Saturday will help his team per form better as individuals in that they don’t have to worry about competing for the team, but more for themselves.
