IN BRIEF
RACE:
continued from Page A1
Students who complete a
full punch card of 88 laps —
about 9 miles — will receive
a water bottle. Students also
receive a “toe token” for ev-
ery 10 laps that they can pin
to show their progress.
“The MHES marathon
is an important tradition in
Umatilla,” district Super-
intendent Heidi Sipe said.
“It’s exciting to see it in its
30th year and know that
many generations of Uma-
tilla students have enjoyed
this experience.”
Kelly Stefani, special ed-
ucation assistant, has helped
with the marathon for 13
years. She watched her chil-
dren participate and now
braves the wind and the sun
to punch cards for the cur-
rent students.
“Some of them do ¿ve,
six, seven, eight laps a re-
cess,” she said. “We just
try to keep their motivation
up.”
Some students need extra
encouragement as the min-
utes march on. Others have
taken ownership of the mar-
athon idea and run with it.
“It’s
really
fun,”
fourth-grader Eric Camaril-
lo said. “We just want to run
and see how far we can go.”

Fourth-graders Arturo Arreguin and Angel Saucedo lead the pack during the marathon at McNary
Heights Elementary School on Monday.
“It was time for me to
move on and I knew it
was in good hands with
Trampis,” he said. “He
built up the participation
level of the program ... he
was just the kind of per-
son that left everything he
touched better than when
he started.”
And when he got in-
volved with lacrosse, he
developed a dream to be-
come the Bulldogs’ varsi-
ty coach, a dream that was
realized this past season.
“It was his dream to
coach there and he was
so enthused with the way
the program was going,”
Zwiefelhofer said.
The Bulldogs lacrosse
team was 2-3 on the sea-
