Clackamas Cross Country got clos­
er to ending a successful season with a
strong showing at the Southern Region
Championship held Oct. 25 at Lane
CC in Eugene.
“We should have come home with
every single title,” said Head Coach
Keoni McHone.
The Cougars had a week off
between the Pacific Lutheran Invite
and
the
Southern
Region
Championships.
“To race those long distances can
beat up on your body,” said McHone.
“[The team was] able to get rested
physically and mentally.”
The Cougars raced against
Southern Region teams Lane CC, Mt
Hood CC and Clark CC.
The men placed first overall with a
team score of 25. John Butkey won the
men’s individual title with a time of
25:32. Eh Nevarez came in second
with a time of 25:58. Lane’s Rowdy
Saigeson finished third behind
Nevarez with a time of 26:13.
“I was really impressed with Eli’s
race. Sargeson has beat Eli before, this
time he got him back and beat him by
a significant amount of time,” said
McHone.
The women also placed first overall
with a team score of 33. Lyndsey
Bartell placed second overall with a
time of 19:43. According to McHone,
Bartell should have placed first.
Clark’s Katie Dye admitted to race
officials that she cut the course because
there were no course monitors. Even
though she admitted cutting the course,
Dye remained in first place and took
home the women’s individual title.
“I knew it would be close on the
women’s side,” said McHone.
Clackamas also won the co-ed
combined title and McHone won
Southern Region Coach of the Year
honors.
On Nov. 11, the Cougars will trav­
el to Spokane to participate in the
NWAACC championships.
“We’ll see if Butkey can get the
individual title,” said McHone.
“He’ll be in the mix with three
other really fast guys. Talent-wise,
he’s as good as they are. It just
depends who’s on that day.”

Clackamas soccer had an easy
week as far as on-the-field play
was concerned.
The Cougar
women took home a forfeit win on
Oct. 22 over Tacoma CC, who was
unable to field a complete team for
the match.
The Cougars have an important
week ahead as the women take on
division rivals Bellevue CC today
and Southwestern Oregon Friday.
Both games are, on the Clackamas
field at 3p.m.

that should be interesting...we
really need to win,” she said.
