Siuslaw’s cross country teams chose
a different route on Saturday, at least in
terms of scheduling, diverting from the
Northwest Classic in Eugene to a less
smokey course in Coos Bay for the
annual Prefontaine Memorial Run.
Though it meant giving up a chance
to run the same course Siuslaw runners
could see at the state meet on the Lane
Community College campus later this
season, running in the Pre still provid-
ed both Viking teams the chance to
compete against runners from nearly
20 schools on a course that follows the
footsteps of iconic running legend
Steve Prefontaine.
A total of 191 boys and 142 girls
representing 17 schools from through-
out the region were on hand for the
event, with both Viking teams finish-
ing sixth in their divisions.
Sophomore Brendon Jensen led the
Siuslaw boys with a second personal-
best time in four days, finishing the 5K
course in 17 minutes, 17.3 seconds for
10th place individually.
Viking senior Isaac Griffes was 16th
overall with a time of 17:31.0, fol-
lowed by sophomore Jared Northrop
in 22nd place (17:57.6), senior Jordan
Northrop in 30th (18:05.4)

Ocean Dunes Golf Links.
S

successful Siuslaw Open golf
tournament, with funds raised
going to benefit programs at Siuslaw
Outreach Services (SOS).
“Fun was had by all as they
‘chipped in’ for the cause at beautiful
Ocean Dunes Golf Links,” said SOS
Executive Director Bob Teter.
The tournament began with a two-

den-death showdown after both sank

James Sangrey had his ticket drawn

W OLVERINES , 72-12
Mapleton junior Evan Moso was a
particular threat on the Sailors’ special
teams after returning two kick offs for
touchdowns against the Wolverines.
In addition, senior Tanner Wilson
breached the end zone three times in the
match-up to lead the Mapleton offense,
along with two more touchdowns from
senior Dominic Wells.
Sophomore Nathaniel Neece also
scored for the Sailors in what became a
72-12 rout over the Wolverines (0-3).
Currently, Mapleton (1-2, 1-0) is
among the undefeated teams in league
along with North Douglas, Falls City
and Yoncalla.
This Friday, the Sailors will be on the
road at Yoncalla (1-0) before returning

Kick-off for both games is set for 7

Olalla Reservoir has
been stocked with about
100 surplus summer steel-
head from the Siletz Falls
trap, this season. These fish
get fairly active in the lake
and offer a unique fishing
experience.
Once in the lake they are
considered “trout” and do
not require a Combined
Angling Tag. Anglers are
reminded, however, that
only one trout per day over
20 inches may be retained,
and these fish will almost
all be in that size range.
Mid Coast lakes been
stocked with trout through-
out the spring. Trout stock-
ing is over until the fall but
there still should be fish
around to catch. Water
temps are great and fish
should be hungry, so go
catch them.
