_________ 7 Sports TI he CL ac I camas P rint WEdNEsdAy, M ay 25, 2001 Four players named all-conference Softball finishes third at NWAACC tourney 11 players return for next year s team DAISY BAIN Staff Writer The softball team finished the season last weekend at the NWAACC championship tourna ment with two wins and two losses, coming nome with no tro phies but proud hearts from their coaches. “I was really proud of the kids; we played really well,” said Coach Fiskum. There were 12 teams participat ing in the tournament and the two top teams were Lower Columbia Community College and Mt. Hood Community College. Both teams have been challenged and beat by the Cougars this season. Last Sat urday was not one of those times. In game one of the NWAACC tournament, Clackamas chal lenged Wenatchee Community College and finished with a 6-0 win. Vanessa Holm threw a shutout allowing only two hits, throwing three strikeouts and allowing one walk. Lindsey O’Byrne and Cathy Lawrence were both two for three at the plate. The Cougars received their first loss, 4-3, against Edmonds Com munity College who was ranked number two in the Coaches poll. The game winning run was caused by a lost fly ball in the sun. “That was a real gut wrenching loss,” said Fiskum. The team had 15 minutes to gather themselves and move to another field to play game three against Big Bend Com munity College where they got their second win of the day, 2-0. Casey Lapp threw a five hit, four strikeout and zero walk shutout. She also had five base hits. O’Byrne had a base hit in the first inning and Nicole Staley hit a double sending O’Byrne home. In the second inning Melissa Borde hit another double, then Erin Murphy hitting a single to bring in Borde. Game four was their final defeat for the year. Mt. Hood, who took second overall at the tournament, won 2-1. “I think fatigue was the biggest factor of the loss,” said Fiskum. The team started practice at 7:30 a.m. and didn’t end play until 6:30 p.m. Staley hit a double and Darcy Hertel singled her in. “We were a very good team, we just had some bad luck. It has been the story of our season,” said Fis kum. “I am awful excited about next year. I am really proud of the girls and a lot of them are returning.” The Cougars can look forward to seeing 11 players return next year. “We are also looking at some re ally good high school |dds,” said Fiskum. »*• Four of the girls were named All- Conference Flayers. Cheristy Hargrave was named First Team All- Conference as a left fielder and Julia Driggers was named First Team All-Conference as a desig nated hitter. Casey Lapp was named Second Team All-Conference as a pitcher and Melissa Borde was named Sec ond Team All-Conference as an outfielder. There will also be a Sophomore All-Star game hosted by Edmonds CC in Seattle this summer and three of the Cougars, Julia Driggers, Me lissa Borde and Darcy Hertel, were chosen to play.

This has been a great year for the Clackamas track teams. An area of concern is the men’s track team. Last weekend, at the Southern Region Championships, the men came in second place. According to coach Jack Kegg, If they can pull together as a team and do as well as they are capable of, these men should do very well at the championships. In the women’s pole vault, Becky Holliday is the favorite, al ready setting and breaking the national junior college record sev eral times throughout the year. If Holliday can clear anything higher than 14 ft., she will hold another record and most likely take first place in the pole vault. Marcus Cooper has lead the conference in the long jump a few times this year, so look for a big performance out of him. In the throws, Cory Loebl and Krystal Schneider have had some excellent performances this year. Both of them are expected to place high in the discus and shot put. The relay teams have been very strong in the track program this year. If team members keep up their hard work and run smart, the Cougars should place very high in this event. The men and women’s track teams have already shown how talented they can be but the pres sure is on this week.
