Spilyay Tymoo Msy12, 2005 Marathon challenges runners By Brian Mottenien Spilyttj Tjmot Jane Clcavcngcr has run the 14.5-mile Kah-Nee-Ta Mini Marathon from Simnasho since its beginning in the early 1980s, so she had good idea what the course was like. In fact, as she said, "I knew what was coming." Clcavcngcr, 46, negotiated the course that includes a steady climb at the start and six miles of winding downhill to the finish at Kah-Nce-Ta Village in one hour, 44 minutes, 44 seconds, to win. Clcavcngcr was not only the first female finisher but the first overall finisher, a rare feat. tier closest challenger was Rusty demons, the first male finisher, who ran in 1:50:23. The top local runner in the longest of the day's four races was 15-year-old Atcitty Begay, a freshman at Madras High School. "I just ran for the exercise," the lean Bcgay said. Begay runs in the 1,500 and 3,000-meter races for Madras High. In the Kah-Nee-Ta Mini-Marathon he ran in second place behind Cleavenger through the first half of the race. Then he was over taken by Clemons before start ing downhill near the six-mile marker. George Boise, 19, of Warm Springs won the 10-kilometer 'J BnvtMoiMnMnttpllyqr Atcitty Begay, 15, took third. (6.2 miles) race on a loop course that headed east of Kah-Nee-Ta. Larry Spino won the five kilometer (3.1 miles) race, while Damian Reynoso won the one mile race. "I feel great. I always like coming to Warm Springs," Cleavenger said. "It's very beau tiful here. I like the course. It's hard, but I know what's com ing, as far as hills." Clcavenger's rigorous work on hills prepared her for the undulating pitch of Road S-100. "I run hill repeats, up and down, as fast as I can in my neighborhood for a few weeks before the race, because it's that hammering downhill fast that really hits your quads (quadriciccps muscles)," she said. Cleavenger said she figured she ran at about a seven-minute-per-mile pace but slowed near the end Cleavenger said she has won races overall before, including the Kah-Nee-Ta race, but un derstands that in the world of distance running, it doesn't hap pen very often. "It's not real common, but I'm good runner," she said. "I've been a competi tive runner for 30 years." Perhaps owing to the resil ience and elasticity of youth, Begay said he felt good for hav ) , ( ft SHnflmSpilyy First place trophies went to Inter Tribal Sports of the mens bowling league who won the roll off ending their league for the year with 31 85.

He said the stark downhill was "pretty rough on my knees and my feet," and that he had a blister. But he said he plans on running the Mini-marathon next year. Cleavenger was complimen tary of the efforts of Mini Marathon coordinators Austin Greene and Andy Leonard, and particularly Greene's efforts in providing recreational events on the reservation. "Austin does a fabulous job. He's been organiz ing these races at Warm Springs for years," she said. "I think he's doing it to promote fitness in the tribes, and that's great." cd.
