The vicious sprint duo of Kenjamine Jackson (sophomore, Kentwood HS) and Wesley Keller (freshman, Tualatin HS) went first and second with times of 10.71 and 10.74, respectively. Kenjamine's time earns him number six all-time for Clackamas, and Keller's ties him for number seven all-time.
Kenjamine then followed up his 100 performance with a 21.70 (personal record of .03 seconds) in the 200 meter race, which earned him the number seven all-time spot for Clackamas.
Rachel Hemphill's (freshman, Century HS) time of 26.14 earned her a tied spot for tenth on the all-time list. Stan Wester (freshman, Oregon City HS) and Clayton Herman (sophomore, Molalla HS) both had PR's in the intermediate hurdles.
Lyndsey McKillip (sophomore, Puyallup HS) and Andria Scheese (freshman, Oregon City) went off in the 5000 meters with 32 second and 5 second personal bests, respectively.

Tricia Bollier (sophomore, McKay HS) finished up the night in a pole vault competition that lasted close to three hours. She had a huge PR of eight inches to finish at 11'10', which puts her number five on the all-time list for CCC.
