Hood The Clackamas Print The recent budget cuts have affected more than just the recent class cuts. The word was that the track was in unsafe condition, but the truth is the track just does not meet typical college athletic standards. “(The track) hasn’t been deemed unsafe,” Jim Martineau, the college’s athletic director said. The track itself is not unsafe, rather the athletic department lacks the funds required to repair the track. “Our team still practices on it,” Martineau said when asked about the track. The track is still in use, but it is not used for track and field events. “We’re hoping to include it in the next bond measure,” Martineau said when asked what plans there were for the track and what funds there might be available for repair ing it. The track may not be up to college athletic standards, but that may not be a bad thing, as the meets are being held at Oregon City High School. The perk of holding the events at a different venue is Oregon City High School has artificial turf and the larger venue means an increase in attendance. “We did make money,” Keoni McHone, track and field head coach, said when asked if the change of venue hurt funds. Jessica Foster Clackamas Print Because of budget cuts, some victims are allowed to go into disrepair, such as the track field. “We’re much better off.” It appears the lack of a home track is not detrimental and per haps the only thing that needs to be done is repair the track. But, it seems that holding the events at a different location isn’t bad nor is it hurting the track and field department. Even with the track in need of repair, it does not seem to affect the track and field department in any way that decreases their ability to compete.
