The times are the fastest this year for Clackamas except for the women’s 4x100, which is, the second fast est. According to Head Track Coach Jack Kegg, these were solid efforts by the team. “We’re starting to find out who is going to be on those teams and getting our line up nailed down,” he said. “So they are starting to respond to that and run together.” Both mile relay teams are doing well with the men’s mile relay un defeated, and the women 20 sec onds faster than the rest of the conference. Even though the relay is a team effort, the best runs of the week end came from the anchor legs of Becky Holliday for the women, and Travis King for the men. “Both anchor legs, men's and women’s, ran incredible closers,” said Kegg. “The whole team ran well, but the anchors were amaz ing” Holliday ran the fastest time for a woman at Clackamas, beating a former teammate who ran the an chor leg for Western Oregon. Travis King ran a 47.1 second re lay leg, which is the fastest relay leg that Clackamas has had since Kegg has coached here.

This was a really good meet for the Cougars to win, especially be cause it was at home. “It’s always good to run strong at home. We really focused on our relays this weekend,” said Kegg. “The thing we started out to try and do was dominate and not let someone beat us at home in the relays.” Don ’tGoTo College w / V * I flh « Oh > k ¿O Y Ä CK JOIN A COMMUNITY If you want outstanding preparation for any career and over 23. academic programs of study to choose from, then Warner Pacific College is the community for you.
