Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 14,1997 - SEVEN HHS sends eight to state track meet Heppner track team show tropy Heppner High School track and field athletes completed a very successful regular season last weekend at the District 7 2A meet by qualifying eight to the state track meet and the girls team capturing the second place team trophy at Umatilla. It was a season of rewriting the record book with one new school record, several class records numerous individual personal records and a large group of athletes qualifying for the state meet. Earning a trip to the state meet to be held Friday and Saturday at Western Oregon University in Monmouth are David Michael (long jump, triple jump, high hurdles and intermediate hurdles), Jared Eckman (high jump), Traci Dickenson (high jump), Amber Peck (100 and 200), Abby Kahl (800) and Casey Ingraham (long jump). The 1600 meter relay team of Trisha Adams, Peck Brooke Boyer and Kahl also qualified. "The most pleasant aspect of this track season is that we received outstanding efforts from athletes in all aspects of track and field," said head coach Dale Conklin, "the throws, the jumps, hurdles and running events. And, those efforts came from the young athletes as well as the upper classmen." The most consistent performer all season long was senior David Michael, said Conklin. He established personal bests during the season in the triple jump with a leap of 41' 8”, long jump, 20’ 7" and 300 hurdles, :42.3. At district Michael won the triple jump and high hurdles and was second in the long jump and long hurdles. He also moved up into the third all-time best intermediate hurdler at HHS and ninth best in the long jump. Traci Dickenson was district champion in the high jump. Her season's best mark is 5' 1" which equaled a personal record. Dickenson also competed in the 400-meter relay team along with Lindsey Waterland, Amber Peck and Casey Ingraham. The relay team's season best was :52.7, third best ever at HHS. Nicole VanEtta placed fourth at district in the 1500 and 3,000 meter runs. She set a personal record in the 1500 with 5:31.2 moving to fifth in the all-time Heppner marks. VanEtta was fourth in the 3,000 meters. Rick Worden competed in the 800 meters and although he did not place at district, he contributed to the team effort throughout the season turning in his best mark of 2:15.3. The other senior on the team was Lindsey Waterland. At the district meet she placed sixth in the 100 meter dash and fourth in the 200. She set personal bests in both during the season running : 13.7 in the 100 and :29.2 for 200 meters. Melissa Cutsforth came up with a personal best in the shotput at the district meet with a toss of 30' 10 3/4", moving to fourth on the all-time list. She placed sixth in the discus and had a season's best throw of 92' also fourth best at HHS. Keith Scott turned in go season best marks at district with a 37’ 1" toss in the shot put and 93-4 in the discus. Sophomores were led by Amber Peck, who turned in very fast times at district, sprinting to a : 12.8 in the 100 and :27.0 in the 200, both prs. She moves to a tie for third overall in the 100 at HHS and sixth in the 200 meters. Jared Eckman became district champion in the high jump as he leaped a personal best of 61 2". Throughout the season, he also competed in the 400 meter relay and triple jump. Other members of the short relay were Casey Evans, Michael Schonbachler and Levi Geer. Evans placed fourth in the 800- meter run at district running 2:11.9, a season's season's best. During the season he also turned in a :57.2 in the 400 and high jumped 5-4, good for fifth at district. Boyer qualified in the preliminaries of the district track meet for the finals of the 400, but did not place. "Her contribution to the long relay team was invaluable all season", Conklin said. Kristi Worden struggled with the pole vault throughout the season, but at district cleared 6-0 and established a sophomore class record in the process. It was a six-inch personal improvement. Trisha Adams had the fastest split of the district long relay team, posting a 1:04.3 time. She also placed fifth in the 100-meter high hurdles with a PR of :18.0, seventh on the all-time list and was fourth in the 300 hurdles at :52.5 moving her to third all-time. Placing fourth in the 400-meter dash was freshman Levi Geer with a :55.7. He also anchored the boys 1600-meter relay team that placed third in 3:49.9. Other relay members Evans, Worden and Michael Schonbachler. Schonbachler threw to a PR of 109-11 for a fifth place in district in the discus. Kahl's time of 2:32.7 in the 800 meter run earned her the district championship and the second best time ever at HHS. Throughout the season she also ran the 400. Casey Ingraham placed in three events at district turning in PR's in two. Her leap of 32' 7 1/2" in the triple jump broke the school record she set and reset earlier in the season, but was only good for fourth place. The old record was 30" 10 1/2" set by Jill Conklin in 1989. Ingraham's 15'4 1/4" mark in the long jump earned her second at district, seventh on the all-time list. She also placed in the javelin. Establishing a freshman class record in the boys high hurdles was Matt Jepsen. He ran :17.0 in the prelims but settled for a : 17.5 clocking in the finals for fifth place. His mark ranks seventh all time. Jake Roy competed in the three throwing events: javelin, discus and shotput. Although he did not make the finals, Roy improved over previous bests. The second place finish for the girls earned HHS the first track trophy since 1985. The boys last track trophy came in 1993. The state meet will be held at Western Oregon University at Monmouth. All field events except the shot put and triple jump will be held on Friday along with preliminaries in all running events. Finals in the running County plans new family resource center Morrow County announces the acquisition of a building in Heppner that will soon become a new "Family Resource Center". The Morrow County Court signed a lease-purchase agreement on Wednesday, April 23, for the Gilliam and Bisbee Building in downtown Heppner. Like the Courthouse, the G&B building is an historic building, built in 1919. This one, however, is particularly well suited to business use, said a county news release. While the street level will remain a commercial business, the upper floor is designed for office space where the county will re-locate the Juvenile, Children and Families, Public Health and Behavioral Health departments as well as the OSU Extension Service, which the county helps fund. Additionally, the county has made space available for the Head Start, Veterans Service and Area Agency on Aging offices and also a time-shared space for agencies like Services to Children and Families, Adult and Family events will be Saturday in Services, WIC (women, infants & conjunction with the state 1A children), Job Training meet.
