The Heppner High School girls' track team received the first place trophy in the 1998 CBC Big Sky District
meet in Condon held Saturday, May 9.
Head track coach Dale Conklin said that the girls' award was the first earned since 1985 at HHS for a major
track moGt
The HHS girls' track team pictured above are: (L-R) back row-Kristi Worden, Laurie Michael, Melissa
Cutsforth, Maja Dietiker and Amber Peck; front-Stephanie Clough, Casey Ingraham, Allison Sykes, Trisha
Adams and Brooke Boyer. Not pictured is Abby Kahl.
With state track meet berths
up for grabs, the Heppner High
School track athletes are fine-
tuning themselves this week for
the District 7 2-A track and field
championships this weekend at
Wahtonka High School in The
Dalles.
Competition begins at 3 p.m. on
Friday, May 15, with finals in the
3,000-meter
run
and
preliminaries in other running
events as necessary. Other finals
slated for Friday include boys'
high jump, long jump, shot put,
and pole vault; girls' discus,
triple jump, javelin and pole
vault. All other field events will
be conducted on Saturday, May
16, beginning at 12 noon.
Heppner is the favorite to win
the girls' team title.
The
Mustangs will be battling
Wahtonka,
Umatilla
and
Sherman County. These four
teams have emerged from the
season as the leading girls' teams.
"To win the team title, we
have to have outstanding efforts
in the field events," said head
coach Dale Conklin. "Week-in
and week-out our runners have
been getting the job done. We
have been a little inconsistent in
the field events, especially the
throwing areas."
"We are going to rob ourselves
of some sure points in the
running events and we have to
make it up somewhere else. We
want to make sure we don't
jeopardize our potential for state
qualifying and may be sacrificing
team points at district," Conklin
said.
The girls are leading the
league with season's best marks
in five events and are second best
in four other events. The top two
finishers at the district meet
qualify for state. "But, it's those
third and fourth place finishers
that win track meets for you,"
Conklin said.
Leading the district in the
long jump and triple jump is
Casey Ingraham who shattered
her own school record in the
triple jump this season over a
foot at 33' 7-l\2". She set a
personal record in the long jump
at 15’ 7-l\2".
Abby Kahl has the best marks
in the 800-meter run at 2:34.4
and 1500-meter run at 5:31.4.
She will not run the 1500
hundred at district.
The girls' 1600-meter relay
team of Trisha Adams, Amber
Peck, Brooke Boyer and Kahl
leads with 4:27.9
Peck is second in the 100-
meter dash and 300-meter
hurdles. This is a departure from
what she ran last year and last
weekend beat the district leader
in the 300-hurdles. Her time of
:50.0 is the second fastest ever at
HHS.
The 400-meter relay team of
Peck, Boyer, Ingraham and
Adams has run 53 .2, second best
in the CBC, and Juanita
Elguezabal has the second best
javelin throw at 104'7".
Two distance runners have
consistently been scoring for the
Mustangs.
Maja Dietiker,
foreign exchange student from
Switzerland, has personal bests
in the 1500 and 3,000-meters of
5:54.7 and
12:50.0, both
established
last
weekend
Stephanie Clough is 6:13.1 and
13:49.9 for the same distances.
Battling for berths at state
meet will be Adams who finished
second at the pre-district last
weekend in the high hurdles with
a personal record of : 17.9. She
also has been high jumping and
has a 4-10 jump to her credit this
season.
Boyer has been one o f the
surprises this year in the 800-
meters, improving on time every
meet. At the pre-district meet,
she ran 2:39.9, defeating the girl
with second best time in CBC.
Melissa Cutsforth has been
the big point performer in the
throws for the Mustangs this
season, including a personal
record of 89' 10" in the javelin.
Laurie Michael is also throwing
the discus as she has been
battling injuries throughout the
season, as has Kristi Worden
who has scored in the pole vault.
Allison Sykes has been the
utility person all season long,
i uipujigau tviattww» needed- Sbe
has the seventh best time in the
CBC in the 400-meter dash, but
three of those ahead will not be
running that event this weekend.
The boys have been led all
season by Levi Geer, Jared
Eckman and Casey Evans.
The boys lead the district only
in two events, but may qualify as
many as five or six to the state
meet.
Jared Eckman is the
favorite in the high jump with a

The lone United Church of
Christ is making plans for this
year’s thirty-sixth annual auction
and barbecue.
The auction has been a yearly
event in the lone UCC since
1962, and has become a very
important
event
in
the
community as well.
This year, the lone UCC is
focusing on the event more than
it has in past years, the main
reason being the fact that the
church was gutted by a fire April
23.
The town was shocked, and the
lose of the building has created a
void in the community that the
church members are striving to
fill. Plans for the new church,
and plans as to where church
services will be held, are being
made while the damage is being
assessed. The auction is going to
play a huge role in rebuilding the
church.
Church members and members
of the community donate
merchandise, baked goods, arts
and crafts. The community also
receives a lot of support in
preparing the annual barbecue,
which usually feeds about 400
people. Help is needed now
more than ever to make this
years auction a success.
Anyone who has any questions,
or would like items picked up
may call Jannie Allen at 422-
7563, or Lea Mathieu at 422-
7215. Merchandise donations
may be picked up by calling Ken
Nelson at 989-8494 or Joe
Rietmann at 422-7335.
