Curtis said Junior Patty Gray takes the win She struck out six and walked five “ 1 though she threw a very good game.” Curtis said She got the game started right, striking the first batter out Besides doing the job on the mound, Curtis said she also did a good job in the field, handling a cou pie of “ hot ones.” Curtis said, "She's an excellent fielding pitcher ” The Pioneers had only one error, a low throw to first base “ We were in the game mentally,” Curtis said “ I think the girls were pleased (to have played so w ell).” Sophomore J ill Ingram took over at third for sophomore Mauren “ Mo” Beckett, who has a broken, or at least cracked, finger Senior Shelley Petrie did a good job in left field, Curtis added. And, senior Dawn New added some fire “ She’s talking out there and keeping the girls in the game.” Cur tis said “ She’s a real leader She’s getting the girls to think about what they're going to do with the ball." Batting’s an area they'll work on, Curtis said, although he wasn't displeased with the effort Tuesday. Senior Allison Carpenter hit a “ very nice” double, and Petrie, freshman Wendy Heckard and senior First Sandy Invitational gets underway Saturday Eleven teams w ill be attending the first Sandy Invitational track meet Saturday. “ I really feel in a year or two this w ill be one of the premier track meets in the state,” said Mike Kostrba, SL’HS athletic director “ I think it ’s going to be a classic,” Randy Hutchinson, track coach, said, adding that he's wanted the school to host a track meet for several years Plans are for the Invitational to become an annual event Twenty-six teams have indicated that they'll attend a year from now. Only the top two in each event are in vited to participate. A combined (boys and girls) title w ill be given. Field events w ill begin at 11 a m., with finals in the running events beginning at 1 p.m Admission w ill be $2 for adults and $1 for students. Cindi Coleman all got singles The Pioneers are getting the bat on the ball “ We made them throw us out—so I was pleased with th a t," Curtis said They also got some help from Molalla's pitchers, drawing 11 bases on balls Sandy left five runners on base. Molalla left eight on The Molalla game was the TVL opener for the girls. “ Now we're going for the money," Curtis said. They have a non league game this afternoon against St. Marys at 4 p.m. at Kelso School sums WHS UO I«— I I 2— 144 1 0U I— I I I— « 5 4 Newton Richard Castile chips on for the Pioneers during a triangular win at Mountain View Friday. Pioneer girls handily win TVL relays Some good performances were turned in at the Timber Valley Leagut elays Saturday, but one point was made time and again by Coach Randy Hutchinson. “ We re going to get better,” he said. Being a relay meet, one bad perfor mance in an event affected the finish of that group, as well as the rest of the team. Hutchinson feels that this group is particularly team-oriented, and that pleases him. The girls handily won the meet, scoring 87 points. West Linn was se cond with 54. The boys firished third, scoring 78 points. Oregon City won it with 118. West Linn was second with 84. Three high jumpers, Bob Nippert, Doug Baucom and Hank Grenier, set a school relay record with a combin ed 17-10. Nippert jumped 6-2, and Baucom and Grenier went 5-10. Grenier's 5-10 jump was a personal record. “ That’s just fantastic,” Hut chinson said “ I think that's just great, a freshman coming out and do ing that.” The girls high jump team, compris ed of Shelby Dries, Gayle Roth and Shauny Thoreson, also set a school relay record with a combined 14-8. They finished in a tie for thhird. Dries matched her personal record with a five-foot jump Roth and Thoreson went 4-10. Sharon Jensen, Lorrie Shelton and Crystal Calkins comprised a team that set a school relay long jump record. All jumped in the 15-foot range, with the potential to do better. Shelton performed with an injured wrist. The distance medley team, com prised of Jensen, Polly Kelly, Darby Binder and Donna Nelson, set a school relay record with a time of 13:24 2. Hutchinson loaded up the distance medley team, expecting to win, and was pleased that they did the job. Still, he added, there’s room for im provement. He said that Kelly “ performed very w ell.” She turned in two 61-second quarters Saturday. The boys distance medley team was also loaded, and they didn’t disappoint Hutchinson either. Sam Romey anchored the team, turning in a 4:31.2 mile For a sophomore in high school, that's excellent, Hut chinson said. He added, “ We talxed about this at the end of the race—I don’t think he ran as fast as he’s capable of. “ He just continues to amaze us. I ’m real proud of him .” Romey started his leg with a small lead, competing in that final mile with some of the best distance run ners in the league. Russell Fork turned in a 53.82 quarter, and Steve Metelak turned in a 2:01.9 half, to help give him that lead. Phil Burk ran the first leg, three-quarters of a mile, on that team They won with a time of 10:59.7, over four seconds ahead of the second place team One factor that affected the boys was the absence of Brian Prosser, who missed some school last week with the fiu. Also, Scott Skipper is competing with a bruised knee With an injury like Skipper’s, most athletes would be gone for the season, Hutchinson said He said he wouldn’t be surprised if Skipper is back full-strength in a month Skipper w ill not be able to compete in running events for some time. He did compete on the shot put team, along with Dale Rasmussen and Roland Aumueller They finished first. The discus team, comprised of Skipper, Mike Marleau and Locke Christman, finished second.

Hutchinson was pleasantly surpris ed by third place finishes by the shut tle hurdle and 400 meter relay teams. Steve Brader, B ill Bowman, Tim Pullen and Russell Fork comprised the shuttle hurdles team. The 400-meter relay team was comprised of Tyson Cummings, Ryan Coombs, Steve Ackerman and Fork. Hutchinson said that Ackerman and Cummings did an especially good job. He added, “ Steve Brader does a lot of things well. He’s a super kid, and very dependable.” The long jump team, comprised of Fork, Coombs and Cummings, also finished third The girls, like the boys, did well in the field events. The discus team, comprised of Stephanie Hagstrom, Paige Daugherty and Denise Proc tor, finished first. Hagstrom, Daugherty and Chris Muff won the won the javelin throw. Muff, a freshman, threw 91-2, and threw 112 at a recent practice. Hagstrom and Michelle Cleland (a '80 SUHS graduate) are the only javelin throwers at Sandy that have been able to throw the javelin 100 feet as freshmen. " I think we re going to see some good things out of her,” Hutchinson said. The girls also won the shot put, with Hagstrom, Daugherty and Proc tor again scoring the points The two-mile relay team, compris ed of Jensen, Dries, Binder and Roth, also earned first place points Again, Hutchinson was pleased with the ef fort but anxious to see lower times They ran a 10:24 7, finishing 10 seconds ahead of the Estacada, the second-place team in that event. “ Lisa Hassett had an outstanding day,” Hutchinson said. She ran a 63-second quarter, a personal record. S andra P e te rso n tu rn e d a 66-second quarter The girls 1600-meter relay team, comprised of Roth (who ran a 64.9 quarter), Peterson, Hassett and Kel ly finished second with a time of 4:16.5, five seconds out of first.

She felt the douhles teams could have been competitive, but they just didn't have a good day She felt the singles players. Becky Clift, Mindy Congdon and Heidi Lamer, did a good job They are from the lower part of the Sandy ladder, however, and were matched up against some of Oregon City's better players Denise Shokey was the only doubles player that performed well. Rossos said Chung said that Eric Jones and Eric Frost, the number two doubles team, and Tim E lliot and David Bender, the number three douhles team, played well
