“Lyndsey (McKillup) was not
feeling well the night before, but
Saturday she came out and com
peted very well.”
Brandon Snook led the
Clackamas men, finishing 13th in the
race with a time of 27.32. Spencer
Bonney had a time of :27.42 for 17*
place, and teammate Nathan Ingram
was right behind with a time of
27.47 for 18*. Daniel Alvarez was
20*, running -.27.52, Chris Baker
ran a 28.19 for 22nd place, Jose
Barajas ran a 28.30 to finish in
25* place, and Kyle Pfenning ran a
:31.07 to end up in 36* place. The
Cougar men edged out Clark and
Mt. Hood for second place in the
team race, which was won by Lane
CC, who placed five runners in the
top six. Jordan McNamara of Lane
won the men’s individual title with
a time of :25.09.
“We had some tough training
runs last week, and some of the
guys may have felt it by race
day,” said McHone. “The men
are still on pace for running well
at the NWAACC meet in two
weeks.”
McHone is still anticipating
having a full women’s team by
the time the NWAACC champion
ship meet happens in two weeks in
Spokane, Wash. The coach feels
that the men can achieve a top-
three finish, while the women will
be battling for second or third in
the championships.
