As the Clackamas Cross Coun
try teams head to the Southern
Region Championships this week
end, they will be in need of a few
key performances.
Rebekah Yancoskie will be an
important factor for the women’s
team. She had her first workout last
week after coming back from an
injury, and McHone is.encouraged.
“She looked really good at her
workout on Friday, for her first
workout coming back,’’ said
McHone. “Things are starting to
look up. So we’ll see how she starts
to feel.”
Along with Yancoskie, the Cou
gars are depending on Stacy
Hopkins and Alyssa Anderson to
come up with big performances. The
race between CCC and Mt. Hood is
really tight, with only a few points
separating the two teams. It will be
up to the back three Clackams run
ners to catch Mt. Hood’s runners.
“I think realistically we can catch
Mt Hood’s number four,” said
McHone. “I think we can get one
or two past her.”
Besides Mt Hood, Lane CC also
has some good runners that
McHone is watching out for. But
Lane is lacking good four and five
runners to complete their team.
As for the men’s team, McHone
is shooting for a second place fin
ish. Mt Hood is the favorite, and for
Clackamas to pull an upset they will
need to run really well.
“In order for us to win, we basi
cally would have to do some really
big things. Matt Solosabal would
definitely have to be more patient in
his first mile. If he did that I think he
would end up fourth and really close
behind the high school state cham
pion from last year,” said McHone.
“I think if Pat Searing is a little more
aggressive, he can move up past Mt
Hood’s number three.”
Besides these two things,
McHone also said that Mike
Schwoebel, Kyle Holland, Russ
Prüden and Ryan Hennessy will need
to run well enough to
move in front of Mt
Hood’s number four
runner.
“I think if we’re re
allyconfident and rest
most of our other guys
can get in, in front of
Mt Hood’s number
four,” said McHone.
This will be more
difficult for Hennessy,
since he fell and
twisted his ankle a
couple of weeks ago
while running around
campus.
With all of this
ahead for the Cougars,
they have begun to
train and prepare for it
“We’re beginning
our championship
phase of training,” said
McHone. So we re
