Hogges runs way to record book at OIT
March 27, 2007
Jguwon Hogges has competed in three track and field meets for Oregon Tech, and the junior college transfer already has made his presence known.
Hogges was clocked in 48.89 seconds on the men's 400-meter dash Saturday at the annual Hornet Invitational at Sacramento State University.
When the results were available on the SSU Web site, the Herald and News did not have a copy of Oregon Tech's school records. We wish we had.
Hogges set a school record.
His 48.89 eclipes the 49.00 clocked by Paul Ogawa in 2001. Hogges' efforts also marked the third time a Hustlin' Owl broke the 50-second mark in the event. Dan Martin ran a 49.17 in 2005.
Hogges also was timed in 22.18 in the 200, which now is the second best effort in that event. OIT's record is a 21.23 set in 2001 by Ogawa.
He joins current teammates Devin Paine, Randy Fox, Ben Baker, Jeff Hadley, Adrian Mateos, Joel Matchett, Ryan Johnson and Steve Carter among the men who have top 10 efforts for the Owls.
Among the women on this year's team who have top 10 efforts are Kelsi Haylett, Megan Czerny, Michelle Klaja, Amy Sticka, Kelsey Stolz, Haley Carlson and Becky Schwartz.
Until Saturday, Matchett was the only member of this year's men's team with a school record. He holds the triple jump mark at 46 feet, nine inches.
Women hold records
On the women's side, Haylett, Czerny, Klaja, Stolz and Schwartz hold school records.
Haylett has the top 100 (12.22) and 200 (25.90), Czerny the marathon (3:13:56.2), Klaja the high jump (5-6) and heptathlon (4371 points), Stolz the javelin (146-0) and Schwartz the discus (125-4) and shot put (131-8).
The oldest record on the books is the men's 100-meter dash. Rob Brown ran a 10.6 in 1959.
In the men's 110-meter high hurdles, Scott Toll ran a 14.7 in 1977.
OIT's second oldest men's record fell last spring when Chris Bird cleared 6-10.75 in the high jump. The old record was a 6-9 by Jeff Braford in 1976.
Most of OIT's records have been set since track and field was brought back to the school in the late 1990s after having been one of the many victims of cuts made by an interim president after Oregon votes passed a ballot measure in 1992 that meant drastic cuts by the state's seven colleges and universities.
Owls home twice
Oregon Tech will have a pair of home meets at John F. Moehl Stadium, starting with the Owls' invitational meet April 7. OIT's second home event is the OIT Open April 28.
The Cascade Collegiate Conference meet is May 11-12 at Eastern Oregon University. All national qualifiers will compete in the NAIA championships May 24-26 in Fresno, Calif.
Diamond squads head home
This is the second straight season for the Oregon Tech baseball team to play all, or almost all, of its league games away from home during the first half of the season, and then complete the year with a long homestand.
The Hustlin' Owls will make their home debut Wednesday, April 4 against Simpson and then play 17 straight games against league opponents during the month of April, finishing up with the University of British Columbia May 28-29.
The site for the NAIA Region I playoffs likely will be Lewiston, Idaho.

" Long live Matt Miles! He was the "Billy Kilmer" of Semi Pro Football: tough, gritty, fiery leader, winning mentality. I will never forget this "young gunslinger", he made this league better for being in it.
