TRL District Meet

Three Rivers League District Championships, at Clackamas H.S., 5.16.08

The LO girls had outstanding performances on the hottest day of the year as they won the TRL District Championships at Clackamas High School on Friday, 5.16.08. It was the first District title for the Laker girls in over 15 years. Coach Eric Lider was also honored as "coach of the year."

After a review of the final scoring, the Laker boys placed third. Immediately following the meet, it had been announced that the Lakers were second, but there had been some confusion with the scoring.

It was a great "team" effort for both squads as the Lakers won titles in the girls' 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relays, 100, 200, 400 and 1500 meters. Second place finishes in the 200, 800 and 3000 added valuable points, while other needed points were earned in many events by other Lakers.

The boys won the 800, 1500, 110 Hurdles, 300 Hurdles and 4 x 400 relay, with seconds in both Hurdles events and the 4 x 100 relay. They also gained valuable points in many other events.
