Southern Regional Championships a breeze for Titan Track & Field
GRESHAM, OR - On very windy and warm Saturday, Lane was on a mission to continue its Regional dominance on the Track and in the Field. The men claimed their ninth consecutive Regional title scoring 333 points well ahead of second-place Clackamas with 174 points. The men event winners were Branden Helms (100m-11.05, 200m-22.07), Elias Gedyon (1500m-3:54.63), Kyle Ruhlin (Steeple-10:10.94), Kevin Accinelli (110H-16.12), 4x400 relay (3:20.41), Brandon Nash (HJ-2.07m), Joseph Hart (LJ-7.07m, TJ-13.48m), Danny Parks (SP-13.60m, Discus-49.69m), and Cory Miller who also qualified for the NWAACC Championships (Javelin-54.84m).
The women had some big performances on the way to their third straight Regional Championship. Perhaps the biggest performance on the women's side came from Tara Carlton (pictured) who broke the school record and won the Pole Vault clearing 12' 1.25" (3.69m) to eclipse the old mark set by Lindsay Beard (12' 1.75"). The women scored 251.5 points to claim the title, with Mt. Hood a distant second with 209 points.

The Titans will be heading to the NWAACC Championships in Spokane, WA on May 21-22 to conclude the season. Lane expects its depth and talent to put them in strong contention for the title with Spokane Community College who is the defending champion on both the men's and women's side.
Baseball blows by Lakers
EUGENE, OR - Lane looked strong today against SWOCC with two big wins at home. In Game 1, Dawson Phinney threw seven innings in the 8-1 win, with the only run coming off an error in the top of the seventh. The Titans left 13 men on base, but got good showings from Cody Chagnon and Elliot Sherrell (both 2-for-4 with double), Cody McDonald (1-4 with 2 RBIs), and Blake Montague (2-for-3). Josh Wonsley pitched 5 2/3 innings in the loss for the Lakers allowing 11 hits and 7 runs, 4 of which were earned.
Lane came out swinging in Game 2 getting 3 runs in the bottom of the first, which was enough in the 5-2 win. The Titans got just 3 hits, one each from Spencer Smith (1-for-4), Elliot Sherrell, and Blake Montague ( both 1-for-2). Sherrell (pictured) and Daniel Katayama both got 2 RBIs in the win. Colben McGuire pitched 6 innings and gave up four hits and two runs, striking out six and walking one in the win for the Titans. Parker Sherrell pitched one inning for the save. Kevin Harrison was the losing pitcher only giving up one earned run out of the five scored. Lane now has a season record of 20-16 with a 14-12 division record. Division leader Mt. Hood lost 2 which helps the Titans cause of trying to make the post-season tournament. Lane will face Clackamas (10-28, 7-19) in an away double-header on Tuesday, 5/15 @ 1pm.
