Men, Women earn 2nd place; individuals
win at Southern Region Championships
J. J. PEARSON

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

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

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.
