I'm sure my attitude helped me to have a better time than the men I trained with." Other McHenry area athletes who competed were Kelly Brough, third in the women's 16-22 division; Lloyd Berquist placed 13th in the men's 16-22 division; and Tom Frymark placed eighth in the men's 33-37 division. It was Pat Dombroski, a 22-year-old from Palos Heights, capturing first place for the second year in a row with a time of 1:29:04.5. Barb Rasmussen of St. Charles took the victory in the women's division with a time of 1:48:51.4. For Bolger, this summer will find her facing a series of endurance tests. "I will be competing in the Chicago Triathlon in July and several bike and running races. In August, I will be a member of a triathlon team in Crystal Lake again. I want to see how far I can go in endurance." Spasojevich, who has competed in several triathlons around the country, has set a set a goal of participating in the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii. However, for those athletes wanting to remain local and gain some triathlon experience, Crystal Lake will host a triathlon sponsored by the Illinois Department of Parks and Recreation in late August. FVC TRACK STANDOUT PREPARES «™ •>««20 speculating he would do well this year," Piane said. Lane did, winning the Fox Valley Conference 3,200 run, setting a personal record (9:15.4) in the same event at the Rockford West sectional a week later, and claiming the McHenry County 1,600 and 3,200 titles. For the first time, the In­ ternational Sports Exchange selected runners from the midwest for the overseas visit. The U.S. team is comprised mostly of Illinois natives with some southern California and Oregon runners tossed in. Paine searched the issues of "Timely Times" and other running publications to find the best prep runners available. "We created teams that will be competitive with the team in Hong Kong," Piane added. St. Viator's Tim Phillips, who set a state record while winning the 1,600 last month, declined an invitation. The Hong Kong thinclads will meet the U.S. team on July 22. The best portions of the trip might be those which down involve running. Included are stops in Hawaii and Red China. "My dad told me to bring his camera along and take a whole lot of pictures. I'm looking forward to it," Jim said. Right now, competition is his smallest worry. He's been training with Tiger coach Dick Kloepfer twice a week and has been running on his own. He'll probably run the 5,000, an event he'll compete in at Western Illinois University next spring. Jim's biggest concern is a familiar one these days - money. The round-trip air fare from Los Angeles to Hong Kong; travel expenses; all hotels, meals and group sightseeing; uniforms and sweatsuits totals $1,600. . Few people, let alone a boy fresh out of high school, have easy access to that among of money. To help cut into that big chunk, Jim has been working odd jobs over the summer. He's been busy stacking steel at a local plant, but that alone probably won't equal the $1,600 mark by mid-July. Those wishing to make Jim's ride to and from Hong Kong even smoother may send a check or money order to: Lakes Running Club, 88 Lincoln Park­ way, Crystal Lake, HI., 60014. "For Jim Lane" should be written on the checks or money orders. The goal, of course, is to find enough cadi to pay for Jim's way. "That," Kloepfer added, "would be nice." Pigtail Jokers outfield stifles Hiller and Hamm By Barb Ansell Plaindealer Sportswriter It was the Skyharbor Jokers from Northbrook who held the winning hand to defeat Hiller and Hamm 13-5 for the cham­ pionship in McHenry's annual Hiller and Hamm 12-inch men's softball tournament. Although Hiller and Hamm did not play up its usual level of softball prowess, the loss came as a blow. "We should have won," said Hiller and Hamm coach Robert Hamm. "We just beat this team a few weeks ago in a Milwaukee tournament by the run rule. Today we just didn't hit." The Jokers definitely held the wild card in the tournament by pfsyching out i many of -their opponents by using a three-man outfield, rather than the stan­ dard four^man outfield. "The Jokers played a good game," said Harry May, one of the tournament organizers . "It's rare to see a team use the three-man outfield and do as well as they did." The three-man outfield was new to the Jokers as well. "We came into this tournament missing three starters and two of our first string reserves, so we decided to change a few people around," said the Jokers** coach, John Starck. "We pulled our fourth outfielder in to play short center and it worked." Hie three-man outfield was not the game Hiller and Hamm wanted to play. "We played their game, not ours," said Hamm. With three outfielders, there were a lot of gaps in the outfield where we could have dropped balls into, but we just didn't hit." The Jokers had the game well under control in the early in­ nings. A two-run triple by Campell and a two-run single by Cozzi helped the Jokers move Men's 12 Inch Pete Buss rbi single in the bottom of the sixth inning proved to be the winning run as Gary Lang held on for a 5-4 win over River Shannon during Parks and Recreation men's 12- inch softball at Petersen Park. River Shannon held a 4-2 lead for four innings, before Gary 'Lang scored one in the fifth and two in the sixth. Chris Lykke and Len Chutka both doubled to lead the win­ ners. Lykke, along with Cliff Bartolain and Kevin Harrington all had two hits a piece. Kelly Gardener doubled for River Shannonm, while Ken Breese and Art Bellon both had two hits. Hauck gains scholarship Johnsburg High School standout Theresa Hauck received a volleball scholarship from National College of Education in Evanston. The Ringwood resident was played volleyball, basketball and ran track for the Skyhawks. out in front 5-2. Errors by the Hiller and Hamm infield allowed the Jokers to add three runs again in the third for an 8-2 advantage. Hiller and Hamm got a shot of hope in the arm with a two-run homerun from Don Bentz in the fourth inning to cut the Jokers lead in half, 8-4. Insurance runs were just what the Jokers gambled on in the sixth inning, and that's what they were dealt. The Jokers collected three runs from a two- run double form Dohm and a single by Hausor. And despite a. sixth inning homerun by Bentz, it wasn't in the cards for Hiller and Hamm. Not only did the Jokers take first place, but leftfielder Ken Dotyn was awarded the Most Valuable Player of the tour­ nament award. Dohm was the Jokers number three batter, batting four-for-four in the championship game. Hiller and Hamm had been the only team in the 28-team tour­ nament to make it to the championship round without a loss. It was also the largest team draw for the Hiller and Hamm tournament. "We had a good split of local teams and out-of-town teams. There was some good quality teams in the competition," said May. Hiller and Hamm will now prepare for a tournament in Rockford's Central Division in the United States Slow Pitch Softball Association in early July.
