Danny Parks
@SOURaiders @SOUTrackXC
Next week about 16 Raiders will be heading to Alabama to compete in the national championship meet. Included in that number will be Danny Parks who won the discus last weekend with the third longest throw in the nation (almost 180 feet). He will also be competing in the hammer throw (pictured above) where he placed third in the conference.

As a freshman in the CCC Championships, Hayden set a new PR in the long jump to go along with a second place finish in the 100 meter dash.

Not new to winning awards, Amelia, unsurprisingly, took home another CCC athlete of the week honor today. I think she won this award each time she competed this track season.

The Southern Oregon men are in the lead after day one. SOU’s Amelia Maguin is the favorite in both of her meets today (after winning both of her Friday individual contests). Field events start at 10 a.m. Races on the track begin at 2 p.m. Come on down to Raider Stadium. The temperature in the stands is perfect.

In my ongoing saga of uncropping photos found on SOURaiders.com (note that it is the software’s fault and mine for not providing the photos with the correct dimensions), I present today’s photos. Don’t forget the CCC Championships happening in Ashland at Raider Stadium, on the beautiful new track, this Friday afternoon and evening and all day on Saturday (5/8/15 and 5/9/15). The schedule, preview, program, and app can be found here.

Congratulations to Aspen Abbott, Cheyenne Bricker, Caleb Diaz, Alyssa Fielding, Eric Ghelfi, Alexa Gonzalez, Emily Lamb, Rebecca Lupescu, Will Parke-Hoffman, Dylan Paulk, Anna Reitmann, Jessie Rozario, Matt Williams, and Sydney White for their academic accomplishments while representing SOU as an athlete. All of these scholar-athletes have a cumulative GPA over 3.2 and are at least sophomores.
Steeplechase (AKA Track Swimming)
Not much of a throwback Thursday today as this happened just last week. However, this photo is racking up favorites on Flickr at an unprecedented rate so I thought I would share it here too. Clearly the “agony of defeat” is more popular than the “thrill of victory.”
In fairness to this steeplechaser (who was not an SOU athlete BTW), although she had troubles with the water jump on every lap, she finished in the middle of the pack and was far from last place.
SOU was in second place when the baton was handed to Amelia Maguin for the anchor leg of the 4×100 relay.
@SOURaiders @SOUTrackXC @maguingirl1
Amelia Maguin broke the SOU record by .37 seconds in the 200 meters this past Saturday in Ashland. She also won the 100-meter hurdles and was on two winning relay teams (one pictured above). She opted not to compete in her best event (where she is ranked #1 in the entire NAIA with a time more than 2 seconds faster than anyone), the 400-meter hurdles, as there wasn’t any competition.
