Reick, Romey
bound for state
by SCOTT NEW TON
For SUHS senior Brian
Reick, qualifying for the
sta te m eet F rid a y at
C la c k a m a s C o m m u n ity
College was the realization
of a long-term goal.
Reick was sixth at the
d is tr ic t cross c o u n try
m e e t,
r u n n in g
th e
5000-meter course in 16:29,
a personal record by about
17 seconds
Reick has a base that’s
almost beyond belief. As of
Tuesday, he’d logged 534
consecutive days of getting
in a run. In 1981 he ran 2,205
miles, and he’s already run
2,300 this year. By Dec. 31
he figures he’ll have run
2,700 miles
“ I ’m used to it. I t ’s part
of my day,” Reick said.
That 4,000-plus mileage
also figured into his finish
at the district meet “ I was
thinking about it before the
race, almost 4,000 miles of
training just to make it to
state,” he said. "T h a t’s all
I ever dreamed of, making
it to state. Now that I have,
I guess it was all worth it."
The 3.1-mile race didn’t
start well for Reick. He
said his legs were numb. At
the one-mile m ark he was
15 seconds behind the
leaders He had planned to
be with them.
At two and one-half miles
he was in 13th place Only
the top six qualify for state
Reick said, “ I knew I had
to do something there, so I
took o ff.”
R eick, who has p a r
ticipated in track since his
freshman year and cross
c o u n tr y
sin c e
his
sophomore year, would like
to p articip ate in cross
country on the college level
next year, though he is
undecided about which col
lege or what to major in
A n in e -m in u te 3000
m eters, o r the school
record, is a goal for the spr
ing As for a goal at the
state cross country meet in
E u g en e th is w eekend,
Reick said, " I don't know
what's left. I was never
sure I could make it to
state ”
With a grin, he added,
" I'd like to beat Sam
once.”
Sam, of course, is Sam
Romey He won his second
district cross country title
Friday, finally winning a
good battle with Centennial
sophomore Rob Collins
Romey ran the course in
15:53 4, with Collins three
tenths of a second behind
him
About the race, Romey
said, " I enjoyed it."
About the state meet, he
said, " I'm still trying for
the top 10. I think that’s a
realistic goal It's going to
be a high one, but it's
realistic .”
Romey, a junior, finished
20th at the state meet last
year Having been before
will be an advantage Satur
day. he feels He said.
‘ ‘ A ny o th e r ra c e e x
perience doesn't mean that
much, but down at state i t ’s
a whole 'nother world.”
Both runners feel that go
ing out with the leaders is a
key to doing well.
If things went well for
Reick and Romey Friday,
o th e r P io n e e r ru n ners
didn’t fare as well. Coach
Scott McMullen has been
pleased with senior Donna
Nelson all year, but Friday
she finished eighth, in
11:16.4 ( 3000 meters).
“ All that hard work and
she would have to get sick
before district,” he said.
Nelson had the flu the day
of the race.
Sharon Jensen , who
finished 16th at state last
year, was 10th in the
District 3 meet with a time
of 11:22.2.
McMullen had envision
ed better finishes from both
the girls and boys teams,
figuring both had a chance
to win the M t Hood Con
ference crown, even if they
weren't dual-meet champs
A second-place team finish
would have been good for a
trip to state.
Instead, Gresham, with
82 points, took the district
title. Reynolds had 87, for
second. Centennial was
third with 95 and Sandy
fourth with 97.
For the girls, Centennial
was handily first with 33
points David Douglas had
68 and Sandy was third
with 85.
Cindy Pokorny of Centen
nial won the girls race with
a 10:50.2.
