The track and field program has a competitive history. The men’s and women’s teams have finished in the top three on 14 occasions in the past 18 years. Clackamas athletes do well at CCC and beyond.
Alumni Success
Brian Abshire and Lisa Ondieki went on to compete at the Olympics with Lisa earning a silver medal in the marathon.
Clackamas alumni have performed at the NCAA Championships with a champion in the women's vault, third in the men's decathlon and seventh in the women's javelin just to name a few. Becky Holliday was 2nd at the 2010 USATF National Championships in the pole vault.
Our alumni have also earned Western Athletic Conference Men's Athlete of the Year, Great Northwest Athletic Conference Men's Athlete of the Year, twelfth place in the men's 5000 at US Nationals, and sixth place at the Nike Cross Country Team Nationals and then onto the World Cross Country Championships. CCC had two alumni that finished 6th and 11th in the women’s steeple chase at the NCAA Division II National Championships in 2008.
Becky Holliday is one standout alumni who has gone on to accomplish great feats in the pole vault after Clackamas. She currently has held the NCAA Outdoor Championships meet record, is the indoor and outdoor school record holder at the University of Oregon and was third at the USATF National Outdoor Championships. Becky is currently competing for New Balance and competes all over the world representing New Balance and the United States.
Andria Scheese has gone on to become a 3-time NAIA All-American and former school record holder at Concordia University, and Chris Dilley went on to be a 4-time NAIA All-American in the hammer and discus and current school record holder in the hammer at Eastern Oregon University.
The last couple of years have been productive with the women’s 200 and 100 hurdles records being broke. Morgan Cribbs broke a 29 year record running 24.61 and also breaking the NWAACC Meet Record. Kaitlyn Reid broke the women’s 100 hurdles record, which was a 31 year record, running 14.92. Last track season was highlighted by the men finishing 2nd and the women finishing 3rd at the conference championships. That was the highest co-ed finish Clackamas has had in 12 years. There were also 33 NWAACC All-Americans and 53 season and/or lifetime personal records accomplished at the championships. Clackamas athletes set 18 top ten performances during the 2010 track and field season
