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

(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

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."
