Concordia Captures Men's, Women's Crowns
Complete Results
GRESHAM, Ore.-- Concordia University captured its third consecutive men's team title (it shared with Eastern Oregon last season) and second straight women's crown as the 2008 Cascade Collegiate Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships concluded a three-day run Saturday.
The Cavaliers also dominated in winning a majority of the post-meet individual awards, including male Field Athlete of the Meet (Nik Kay), women's Field Athlete of the Meet (Annie Hess) and Coach of the Year for both men and women (Randy Dalzell).
Oregon Tech's Jguwon Hogges, who won the 100, 200 and 400 meter races in addition to anchoring the winning 4x400 relay team, earned male Track Athlete of the Meet honors, while EOU's Marcella Bosch, who won the 800 and 1500 meters, earned the same honor on the women's side.
The Cavaliers won 12 events on the women’s side and seven on the men’s side. Five CU athletes set meet records over the three-day championships. The CU men totaled 238 1/2 points to outrank the 187-point haul scored by Eastern Oregon, the team the Cavaliers tied with last season for the team crown. The CU women tallied 229 points for a 42-point gap over runner-up Oregon Tech.
