________9_ M ay 15, 2002 H ie CI ac I camas P rínt Men, Women earn 2nd place; individuals win at Southern Region Championships J. J. PEARSON Staff Writer Under blue skies and warm temperatures, the men’s and women’s track and field teams battled among the best in the Southern Region Track & Field Championships, held last Friday and Saturday at Clackamas. The women were the most sur prising of the two teams, finish ing in second place behind the champion, Mt. Hood. According to Head Coach Jack Kegg, the women competed at a real high level. If they didn’t win their events, then they set personal records to earn points. Kari Rissmiller ran away with four titles and scored 32 !6 points, the second highest indi vidual scorer in the meet. “She was outstanding,” said Kegg. Rissmiller was the Southern Region champion in the 800- meter run, 1500, 3000, and the 4 X 400-meter relay team, which also included Dasha Wakefield, Rebekah Yancoskie, and Maria Skipper. Wakefield scored 29 14 points while competing in several events. It was commonplace to see her dart across the infield from one event to the next. At one point, she was competing J.J. Pearson/The Clackamas Print in the pole Maria Skipper earned second place in the pole vault, high vault last Friday. She totaled 23 1/2 points during jump, and the two-day Southern Regional Championships. javelin at the same time. Skipper beat the favorite, Mt. “We definitely thought Hood’s Brady Randall, in the we had a chance to win; 400. Skipper’s time of 59.24 it didn't work in our seconds placed her tenth on favor." Clackamas’ all-time list. Kegg said many athletes did very well and it is hard to pin point one individual that stood out. Elisabeth Malsey “stepped Jack Kegg up big for us. She tied or broke Head Coach her personal record in every event she participated,” said Kegg. The gutsiest performance over the weekend came from Christy Strout. She has been recuperat ing from a bicycling accident ‘ two weeks ago and has been hobbled by a sore wrist. She managed to overcome the pain and soared 9 feet in the pole vault to earn two points for the team. The men fell short of their goal to become the Southern Region champions. They had some key injuries, which possi bly could have altered their out come. “We definitely thought we had a chance to win; it didn’t work in our favor,” said Kegg. “We were in the hunt,” added Clackamas Athletic Director Jim Jackson. Corey Swim (46-4 %) set a personal record in the triple jump and led the men with 26 J.J. Pearsonffhe Clackamas Print Rebekah Yancoskie leads the pack during the women’s 800-meter run. She was also on the first-place 4 X 400-meter Relay team. points. Swim also had his sec ond best throw in the javelin. He has been the high point scor er on the men’s side all year. John Knez (180-4) “came up big” in the javelin, improving his personal record by 13 feet, which gave the Cougars three points. The Cougars ran Mt. Hood’s Danny Dobra silly, accomplish ing their goal of tiring him out. Dobra did win the steeplechase and 5000, but he finished behind several Cougar athletes in the 800 and 1500. Jonas Welsch, hampered by a hamstring injury, gave Clackamas a boost in the 400 with his season best time of 49.71 seconds. Emil Schaffroth finished one-second behind Welsch in the event to earn three points. Kegg said both of these guys did very well. The track and field teams have the week off to prepare for the long-awaited NWAACC cham pionships at Mt.Hood Community College on May 23 and 24. To reach J. J.
