Track and field runs and jump
Michelle Sanchez
The Clackamas Print
While running in circles may be considered unpro
ductive to most of the known world, for the track and
field team members at Clackamas, the daily ritual
is of the utmost importance. Team members from
Clackamas have been training since the fall term, and
all their hard work is about to pay off.
The season will kickoff on Saturday, Feb. 28, at
Pacific Lutheran University, and the Clackamas team
members are raring to get started.
Courtney Heckerotch is a heptahlete, someone
who competes in seven specific events, has been
involved in track for eight years now and has been at
Clackamas for two years. Her love of the sport comes
from the social interaction, and experience of learn
ing from more seasoned athletes.
“I love the interaction with other people, and
you get to see a lot of good competition,” said
Heckerotch.
Alaura Little, another heptathlete who competes
in pole vaulting and javelin, echoed Heckerotch’s
sentiments.
“I love the team aspect and the social aspect,” said
Little. “I’m really excited to start competing.”
The regular coach JCeoni McHone, is currently out
on paternity leave, but assistant coaches Dan Barley
and Jazzmin Reece have picked up the slack while
the coach is away.
Reece is an alumnus of Clackamas and is excited
about helping students at Clackamas meet their
goals.
It s great to be back and be helping with the pro
gram that helped me develop as a student athlete,”
said Reece.
Barley specializes in throws, while Reece works
with hurtles, sprints and jumps.
The athletes are divided into categories and then
trained according to their expertise.
“There is no point, training a jumper to do long
distance running,” stated Reece.

Athletes who compete in more than one event are

Trevor Williams a newbie to the team this year
came from Bend High School to play on the team. “I
like to stay healthy and it’s fun.”
“Students are recruited from high schools all over
the place,” stated Reece. “We even have sou
ers from Las Vegas this year.”
But, whether they’re from Nevada, Wash«
