Donated salads or deserts Gary Rea earns snowmobile title By Anne Morter Gary Rea of lone was named the Semi-Pro Racer of the Year on the Oregon Snowmobile Rac ing Circuit at their annual awards banquet held March 21 in Baker City. Rea, in his second year on the circuit, easily outdistanced the se cond place finisher, based on race results held in Canyon City, Bend, Tollgate, Mt. Hood, Halfway and West Yellowstone, Montana. The racing season stretches from the beginning of January to the end of March. Each race consists of two parts, the first done on an oval race track and the second on a “ snow cross” trail. The snowcross is set up something like a motocross route. Rea was nearly unbeatable on the oval but admits he struggled on the snowcross portion of the race. But his strength on the oval and consistently racking up a string of second and third place finishes along with an occasional first, he captured the title. Rea became interested in snowmobiles some years back. Six years ago, he bought his own machine and has been "hooked ever since.” Last year, he attend ed school at Central Oregon Community College in Bend and also worked at Sweeney’s Work and Sport. It was there he met several racers who persuaded him to join their team. He managed to choose some good teachers as his teammates, Mark Jarvis from Bend and Rich Schrool of Vale, finished first and fifth on the pro circuit this year. Connecting with these experienced racers also opened the door for sponsors for Rea. He was sponsored by Sweeney’s Work and Sport, Coors Dry Beer, Woody’s Trac tion Control Devices, Advanced Graphics and Signs and Casey’s Body Shop. As for next year, Rea plans to remain semi-pro, although he figures that he will probably get some flak from the other racers. He says that he needs to work on his snowcross before moving up to the pro circuit. lone tracksters By Anne Morter The lone tennis teams had two outings this week, traveling to Helix on Thursday and hosting Umatilla on Saturday.

Heppner High tracksters attack record books H eppner High School tracksters continue to attack the record book with several outstan ding individual and team efforts over the past week, particularity at the Cherry Festival Invitational at The Dalles last Friday night, April 10. Jenny Krein in her first ever 3.000 meter run demolished the existing school record with an 11:18.2 clocking. This beat the old record set by Cathy Martin in 1985 with an 11:52.4, a better ment of over 34 seconds. The 3.000 mark by Krein earned her first place and she captured se cond in the 1500-meter run by lowering her time to a 5:17.1, less than two seconds off the school record and a freshman class record. Sophomore Leonard Brittner increased his high jump mark to 6-5 and a Cherry City meet record for first palce. He also placed second in the triple jump. Kim Umbarger was also a blue- ribbon place finisher winning the girls high hurdles in a personal best o f : 17.7. She was fifth place in the 300m low hurdles with :55.9. Kelsie Evans added a second place effort to the girls lowering her time in the 800 m run to 2:38.3. The sole third place finish was perform ed by the girls 1600-meter relay team of Evans, Umbarger, Char Coe and Rondi Robinson in a time of 4:39.8 which provided a pleasant sur prise finish. This relay team was short two regular members who ran 4:33.7 earlier in the week in a meet at Umatilla. The boys 1600-meter relay team of Willie DeBoer, T.R. Riehl, Ryan Munkers and Tony Burt placed fifth. Burt added a fifth place finish in the 300 hurdles and a sixth place in the 400. The girls 400-meter relay team of Umbarger, Evans, Coe and Krein placed fifth and Kevin Kilkenny completed the scoring for Heppner by placing sixth in the discus. "The fourth palce finish by the girls was the highest team finish in a major meet since 1985,” said head coach Dale Conklin. "A possible scoring error indicates we were really third and we were short a couple of people at student conferences that might have earn ed us even a higher place finish.” Heppner competes this Satur day in the annual Condon Inivita- tional that is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. This meet may prove to be the biggest challenge of the season as there are some 33 schools scheduled to compete in this event. Tuesday, Heppner was in Maupin for a four-way meet and next Tuesday will travel to Pendleton to complete on the BMCC track.
