Clackamas was third with 63 points. “Harper beat her previous per sonal best overa5,000-meter course by 30 seconds to win the race,” said Head Coach Keoni McHone. “She ran an outstanding race and was in control the whole way. That time is one second faster than Kari Rissmiller’s time when she won the 2001 NWAACC championship on the same course in Battle Ground. Just a great effort by Jess.” Josh Cobb out-kicked two Spokane runners over the last 200 meters of the men’s-8,000-meter course to finish as Clackamas’ top runner in seventh overall with a time of :26.27.

Clackamas scored 89 points as a team to finish third. “Justin (Schenck) got hurt dur ing the race so his finish was a little disappointing, but otherwise all of our male runners did a good job overall,” said McHone. “Craig MacLean ran a particularly out standing race, capping a great comeback to his season. Craig was hurt early in the year and has been battling to get back into shape.” Clackamas looks:fairly strong for next season, with only Cobb and Snook moving on. Cobb will actually remain at Clackamas, but will redshirt the 2006 track and 2006 cross-country seasons before returning to run track for the Cougars in the 2007 season. Harper will be leaving the women’s team next term to enrol 1 at Western Oregon University and run track in the spring. after tough season Frank Jordan The Clackamas Print The Clackamas volleyball team concluded their season with a four-set loss to Mt. Hood CC Wednesday, finish ing last in the tough Southern Division of the NWAACC. “We really did have a great season, but considering we had such a phenomenal season last year, it is disap pointing, that we will not get a chance to defend our "title from last year,” said Head Coach Kathie Woods. “Our division is always very tough and this year was no excep tion.” The Cougars lost to the Lady Saints 29-31, 30-21, 32- 34 and 28-30 in the Randall Hall gym. Catie Warren for information: Call Margie Gibier, Advising Specialist f03-657-6958, ext. 3108 led the way for Clackamas with 14 kills and 23 digs, while Rachel Gowen had 13 kills and 11 blocks and Sami Hennessey had 12 kills and 12 digs. The Cougars finish the 2005 season with a record of 27-21, 2-10 in the Southern Division. However, Clackamas won their last two tournaments on consecutive weekends against teams that will compete this weekend in the NWAACC championships. “We had nine freshman this season, which made defend ing our title an uphill battle to begin with,” said Woods. “If we had the chance to go to the tournament, we would have done some damage. Yes, it is disappointing, but this team could have folded the tent at the end, [and] they didn’t. It shows how competitive we were at the end, and I am very proud of the effort.” Hennessey and Gowen were named to the All-Division second team, while Jessica Heidenreich was named to the third team and Heather Gerke was named to the honorable mention list. Hennessey was also chosen to play in the annual sophomore All-Star game, Dec. 3 at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington. Heidenreich was chosen as an alternate to play in the All Star game. Gowen led the team for the season with a 28 percent kill ratio and 112 blocks, while Kori Trenholm led the team in assists at 29 percent. Gerke led the team in serve recep tion with a 2.07 average on a three-point scale. Woods will be taking the team to the NWAACC tourna ment on Friday at Bellevue CC in Bellevue, Washington, to. give her team the “overall tournament experience,” just to show them what they might have missed by not playing. “Most of the freshman will be coming back next season, and we need for them to take the lead in stepping up our play,” said Woods. “Our goal, as always, is to get to the tour nament, and our girls need to get a feel for what they have to do to get there.”
