It was the Cougars’ last team scoring meet until the Northwest Association of Athletic Community Colleges (NWAACC) Southern Region Championship May 10-11. The individual team scores for the Cougar women and men were 57 and 60 points, respec tively. “We were minus a number of athletes because of injuries, yet we finished in the middle of the pack. We didn’t expect it,” said Clackamas Head Coach Mike Hodges. “This is the first time in four years that our women’s team had a higher score than the Mt. Hood Community College women’s team.” Both Cougar teams had sev eral athletes achieve good marks in the Clark meet. On the women’s side Wanjeria Washington won two events and placed third in another.
