OREGON CITY, Ore.—
Eastern Oregon’s Robbie Haynie and Kimmy Moore captured event titles in the Cascade Collegiate Conference decathlon and heptathlon on Friday.
Haynie, the NAIA Indoor national champion in the heptathlon, took first in the decathlon with 7,112 points while Moore won the heptathlon with 4,481 points as EOU’s first winner in the event. Haynie’e win was the seventh for Eastern Oregon in the men’s decathlon with Chris Hoppie last earning the title for the Mountaineers in 2009.
In addition, both totals topped the current No. 1 rankings on the 2012 NAIA performance lists.  Haynie’s mark eclipsed the current decathlon high of 6,715 held by Westmont’s Andy Thompkins while Moore toppled Central Methodist’s Rebeca Barajas, who scored 4,267 points in the heptathlon earlier in the year.
The pair of wins represented the fourth time one school swept both multi-event championships. Southern Oregon accomplished the feat in 1996 while Oregon Tech took home conference crowns in both events in 2006 and again in 2008.
The bulk of the CCC Track & Field Championships will take place in Klamath Falls, Ore., as Oregon Tech hosts the three-day event from May 10-12.
Decathlon Recap
Already with a 200-point lead after the first day of action, Haynie went on to take first in the discus and pole vault while taking second in the 110-meter hurdles and the javelin en route to a 545-point win.
College of Idaho went 2-3 with Austin Basterrechea scoring 6,567 points and teammate Michael Hurd 6,069 points to score 14 team points towards the CCC team chase. Tallying 5,879 points, Northwest’s Waltman secured a fourth-place finish with a strong second day, moving up two places after starting the day in sixth.
Hurd opened the day’s activities with a 15.50 in the 110 hurdles, besting Haynie’s 16.17 and Waltman’s 16.18 to the line.
Haynie then edged Corban’s Taylor Wilkins in the discus with a 115-2 heave compared to 111-8 for Wilkins. Not far behind, Waltman continued his climb with a second straight third-place result after recording a 111-6 toss. With the NAIA’s top overall pole vault mark in the country, Haynie scored 941 points, a meet-best in any event, after clearing 16-8 3/4.   
Waltman won his second individual title of the day with a 172-8 effort in the javelin to nip Haynie’s 171-2 before heading to the final event. The top six finishers prior to the final event remained the same following the 1,500-meter run. Basterrechea turned in the fastest time in the 10th and final event with a 4:26.17, just shy of three seconds faster than the 4:29.08 set by Wilkins.
Heptathlon Recap
Moore used a runner-up result in the long jump and a wire-to-wire win in the 800 to cruise to the victory with a total of 4,481 points, well ahead of the second place finisher, NyEma Sims of Concordia, who had 3,727 points. Moore's point total is the second most ever at the conference meet, and is third best on the EOU all-time list. It also easily broke her personal record of 4,259 points set in 2010.
