The Mapleton cross country
team had a new pair of running
shoes on the course over the
weekend as Dominic Wells
joined Cole Spencer and Richy
Gatelum at the Prefontaine
Memorial 5K in Coos Bay
Saturday.
“I’m really proud of these
guys,” said Sailors coach
Aaron Longo. “They continue
to improve and run with dedi-
cation.”
In Wells’ debut, he ran the
course in 22:20.7. Spencer set a
57.4-second personal best with
his time of 21:44.9, and
Gatelum had the 12th-fastest
time for a freshman at the meet
with a time of 21:40.2, which
was a PR of 2:26.
“At the end, I was just
spent,” said Gatelum.
For Wells, it meant returning
home at 2 a.m. the night before
after playing on the gridiron at
Falls City for Mapleton, then
lacing his running shoes the
next morning by 7 a.m.
“Dominic played through a
rough football game the night
before. That’s real dedication,”
said Longo.
For Wells, he had a simple
focus in his first cross country
race.
“The only thing between me
and the finish line was five
guys that I wanted to pass,”
said Wells. “That, and some
vomit on the track. I passed
them all and jumped over the
rest.”

There’s a new race in town,
a half marathon taking runners
13.1 miles along a scenic route
that begins and ends at Miller
Park, taking runners along
Rhododendron Drive and out
to the North Jetty before loop-
ing back to the park.
The newly established
Florence Half Marathon is a
fully paved course that kicks
off at 8 a.m. and finishes by
noon, with aid stations set up at
miles 1.5, 3, 5.5, 8, 10 and the
12th mile mark.

Two, actually, if you count
the one that officials called
back.
“Having the fans’ support
has been a huge help,” said
Reavis. “We really wanted to
win our first home game for
them.”
Reavis provided the only
scoring for either team in the first
Viking junior receiver Trent
Reavis got to know the Newport

Reavis had three touchdowns
in the game, including a fourth

off the arm of junior quarterback
Jared Brandt, and one was on a

The course for the Northwest Classic
was familiar territory for Siuslaw sen-
ior cross country runner Celie Mans,
who won the state title last season on
the same course at Lane Community
College in Eugene.
It was Mans’ third 5,000-meter race
in little more than a week, and she
showed no signs of slowing down, win-
ning Saturday’s multi-division meet in
19 minutes, 9.3 seconds — nearly two
full seconds ahead of second-place
