Glenwood track fields
contenders --
Standing on the blustery
field at the Mullen/Leavitt
invitational tournament last
Thursday in The Dalles,
Glenwood Eagles' track coach
Tom Eldred paused as he
named off the members of his
team present at the meet.
"Hmm, I guess I should have
counted," he joked.
Glenwood's team is five
strong -- not bad, considering
the small community it repre-
sents.
And as Eldred noted proud-
ly, the town has had a track
team every year since 1968.
He should know, having
coached the team for virtually
all of that time.
This year's edition consists
of "solid kids, primarily
throwers," he said.
It is hard to miss big Mitch
Wheelhouse, with his crew-
cut and the team's sensible,
black-block-caps-on-red jer-
sey. Wheelhouse has been to
State twice in the shotput and
discus, and also throws the
javelin, said Eldred.
Wheelhouse placed sixth in
the shot and eighth in discus
last year.
"He's strong as
an ox," said
Eldred.
~On Thursday, Wheelhouse
tied for first in the discus and
placed second in the shotput.
Tanner Becks is also a
thrower, competing in the
shotput, discus and javelin.
Becks went to State last year,
too, but didn't medal, accord-
ing to Eldred. Becks placed
fifth in the discus on
Thursday.
Eldred is quick to note stats
for Tony Leiter, the team's

"He's run the 40o in 54 sec-

his coach.
Leiter also runs the 30o-
meter hurdles. On Thurdsay,
Leiter topped the field in the
8oo-meter rtm.
According to Eldred, Leiter
was hurt last year, from a
freak accident in which he
pulled stomach muscles dur-
ing a sprint. "How do you do
that?" asked Eldred. Leiter

Fast.pitch team study in coo
The Klickitat/Glenwood
girls' fast-pitch softball roster
is razor-thin, with 11, maybe 12
girls on the squad.
Thank neighborly
Glenwood, too small to field its
own team, for providing four
(or five) of those girls. Added
to Klickitat's seven, they make
the team big enough to com-
pete.
With two coaches from
Klickitat and one from
Glenwood, and a practice a
week and two games in the
more northerly town, the team
represents a true joint effort.
Head coach Yvette Schultz,
who is from Klickitat and has
coached the Vandals' teams
for twelve years, led the girls'
practice last Thursday after-
noon.
"We've been at the top of
our league the last four years,"
said Schultz. Last year
Klickitat lost a championship
game to Lyle. But this year, she
added, with only two return-
ing starters, the team is "young
and learning."
During the first part of the
season, Schultz and ca-coach-
es Traci Kessinger, also from
Klickitat, and Sandra Pooler of
Glenwood, will work on estab-
lishng their players' positions.
'Tv'e only have one pitcher. A
couple of girls are working on
being a backup. I also lost my
catcher, and three girls are try-
hag out. That position takes
knowledge and strength."
Anchoring the team is sen-
ior pitcher Kaeley Schultz,
with a quick and accurate ann.
The other returning senior is
Jade Sanchey.
: As it happens, all four play-
ers currently coming from
Glenwood are juniors, includ-
Ii
ing Hanna Paige, Dora Star,
Amanda Kuhnhausen, and
Ashley Woodward.

Brittany Lenke and Sherri
Brewer were not at practice
this day; they are also on the
track team, and
