Brandon Leslie helps SIPI win NJCAA championship
Brandon Leslie, distance running
phenomenon at Southwestern Indian
Polytechnic Institute, established a
record believed never to have been
done before by any other athlete
competing in the National Junior
College Athletic Association's
championship events. Leslie a
sophomore at the Native American
Community College located in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, won
national titles in four separate
championship events within the
same school year. The talented
NavajoApache tribal member won
the NJCAA Division II crosscountry
meet, the indoor track 5.000 meter
title, the outdoor track 1 0.000 meter
title, and on June 4th, added the
national marathon title to his
grow ing list of accomplishments.

research elsewhere in Oregon.
On Saturday, all day long, to keep
people busy and having fun, there
,will be activities like volleyball, a
scavenger hunt, a tent decorating
contest, lap poker early in the
morning hours, live music, children's
activities, the limbo and more.
As night falls, luminaries

While Leslie, a Gallup, New
Mexico native, was setting his record,
SIPI extended its winning streak to
three consecutive national team titles.
Leslie, who won the 26.2 mile event
in a time of 2 hours, 34 minutes and
35 seconds, was followed across the
finish line by teammate Jaythan
Katoney who second in 2:45:48.
Other SIPI runners who contributed
to the national title were Theodore
Round Face, fifth place, 2:47:24;
Christopher Honyumptewa, seventh
place, 2:50:02; and Varian Bcgaye,
eighth place, 2:54:02. Katoney,
Honyumptewa, and Bcgaye were also
members of the SIPI marathon team
that won the title in 1 998. Both Leslie
and Katoney received All American
honors for their first and second place
finishes.
This year Nicole Main and I
were recently selected to represent
the United States at the
International Sports Challenge. I
will be competing in this event in
Holland on August 2-9, 1999.
I will be given the opportunity
to compete internationally, interact
with foreign athletes the same age,
and tour the historical attractions of
the host country.
In order to participate in this
once in a lifetime studentathlete
experience, I will need your help. I
am requesting sponsorship from
individuals and businesses, like
you, to help offset the financial
cost. Any donation will be greatly
appreciated.

in the lead, two other schools had
two team members in front of the rest
of the SIPI team. However, Katoney,
Round Face, Honyumptewa, and
Begaye worked together to pick up
the pace and catch most of the
remaining field and wrap up the team
title. It was a decisive effort on their
part to move up from so far behind in
order to get the win. SIPI, which
finished with 8 points, defeated host
school Lansing Community College
which finished second with 24 points
and Delhi (NY) College of
Technology finishing third with 25
points.

Pierre made kids, "cowboys"
and "cowgirls". It wasn't just
saddle up and go for a ride.. .but
spend the day chasing horses,
branding and cutting cattle, fix
ing fences, doing inoculations and
observing a horse shoeing to make
sure it was done to satisfaction.
Just when you thought the day
was over, Pierre would yell, "Who
wants to ride the horsecow first?"
Some kids gave it their best and
jumped on, just to wind up biting
the dust. Pierre would get a good
laugh and smile saying "Cowboy
Up!"

Our family would like to take
this opportunity to THANK the
Warm Springs Rodeo Associa
tion for allowing our family to
sponsor an event in memory of
our father, Perry Lawrence
Greene. We sponsored the Wild
Horse Race event by paying for
the 1 st place buckles. It has been
a long time since our family actu
ally spent time at rodeo together
and it was a very emotional and
exciting time we really enjoyed
ourselves.
And little did we know that our
children (Garrett Greene, Ramon
Greene and Jimmy Tohet, Jr.)
were riding in that event. We are
very proud to say that they won
2nd place and this was their very
first time in the Wild Horse Race
event.
Again, we got to see a great
rodeo and enjoy seeing old friends.

hard and you all deserve a pat on
