Rival of yore Miguel Galeana: ter'n e By STEVE PATCH A key rival behind one of the greatest success stories in High- climber distance-running history returned to the scene of his Christmastown exploits the week- end before last and cruised to course-record victory in the sec- ond annual Oyster Sprint. Going by "Miguel" nowadays, half a dozen years after winning back-to-back state 1600-meter championships as Hoquiam High phenom Michael Galeana, the 25-year-old Mexican transplant breezed through the rolling five- miler in 24:45.79. That eclipsed the old record, set last year by Olympia's Bryan Friedman, by four seconds shy of a full three minutes. UNEXPECTED? Guess again. Last year, fresh from a successful collegiate career at Montana State University, our diminutive ex-Grizzly ran the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 8:39 - or fast enough to qualify for no less than the U.S. Olympic Trials that are coming up next spring. And only scant days before his Oyster Sprint triumph Galeana demonstrated his readiness for that challenge by running the 10,000 meters in a personal- record 29:45 on the track. And the longer race isn't even his specialty, what with his being predominantly a 1500-meter and steeplechase competitor in col- lege. LOCAL FAME? Galeana re- membered the source of it too - responding with that familiar, friendly smile of his when the subject came up seconds after he'd claimed the Oyster Sprint chute. "Oh, sure I remember Aaron," he said, referring to his premier rival the year 1992 grad Aaron Taylor put Shelton High School on the cross-country map by win- ning Climberville's first-ever indi- vidual state championship in the sport. "Yeah, I remember every time we ran against Shelton hav- ing to go against him and (Seth) Morgan, too. And they were tough." SPEAKING OF which, our champ's Oyster Sprint competi- tion was notably tough as well, despite the relative ease by which the 25-year-old distanced himself from the other college-caliber run- ners when he needed to. Indeed, thoroughly demolish- ing the old course record as well were Miguel's South Sound Running Club teammate and close friend Todd Pehowski (25:11.19) of Olympia and fellow ex-collegian Mark VanEycke (25:I5.53) of Tacoma. Pehowski, a former Virginia Tech standout in his fifth year in Olympia, placed third in the re- cent Lakefair 10K in a notably strong field. Our friend Friedman? Shel- ton's defending champ finished fifth overall this time around, in 28:12.81. WOMEN'S WINNER was Bryan's wife, Robyn Friedman. She claimed the chute in 31:13.48. Defending champ Joan Mar- chioro, who won with a 31:36 last year, finished second overall this time, clocking in at 31:53.89. Tops among local runners was early-Nineties Climber standout Joy Russell. Busy with her nurs- ing career now and a couple years away from the training regimen that saw her compete successfully in college, Joy nonetheless ran sub-seven-minute miles to finish second in the women's 20-29 age division, claiming the chute in 34:31.39. LOCAL FAVORITE Val Wit- tenberg, a perennial Forest Fest Run winner and long-time fixture on the local footrunning scene, clocked in at 35:24.65 to take run- ner-up honors in the women's 40- 49 age bracket. And newly retired Shelton Middle School PE teacher Harlan Buitenveld finished in 36:41.29 to cop second in the men's 50-59 age division. Other Shelton runners in the race included Mike Sims, Charles MIGUEL GALEANA wins Oyster Sprint II. Gay, Mike McCarty, Chad Tilton, Shirley Radke, Allen Radke, Bar- bara Riley, Bill Dewey, Mary Hrbacek, Billy Hrbacek and Car- rie Fleming. In all, nearly 130 completed the race. That marked an in- crease of nearly 50 runners over the inaugural go-around, advised race director Lynn Palensky. Runners came from all over the Northwest, she added, naming the likes of Wenatchee, Enum- claw, Aberdeen, Forks, Silverdale, Fort Lewis, DesMoines, Centralia and of course Olympia, Tumwa- ter, Lacey and Tacoma. CHAMP MIGUEL? Although back in '92 he followed Climber great Taylor into the chute every outing in the cross-country sea- son, he evened the score during his year-older Climber rival's se- nior track season by winning what many local fans still consid- er one of the greatest high-school metric-mile duels ever, breaking the tape in 4:17.4 to Climber Aar- on's 4:17.7 in a district champion- ship showdown contested in 85- degree heat. The following week, while Taylor was taking second in the 800 meters, he donned his first state crown in the 1500 in a race that saw Aaron mistakenly take Lap 3 to be the gun lap and wind up an exhausted fourth overall when he might well have won if he hadn't miscounted.

Tailback Be Tinaza got the Trojans on the board with a TD jaunt in the fourth quarter to end a scoreless stalemate. Levi Roadman's successful PAT pass to Preston Simmons wound up being the game-winner, as ECS failed to convert after drawing to within a point by way of a long TD pass in the dying mo- ments of the game. Canal coach Greg Segai lauded the pertbrmance of his entire de- fensive unit and singled out line- men Colin Hart and Jordan Brown along with cornerback Tin- aza, who had two interceptions and "several key tackles," he said. Earlier, the Trojans debuted by way of a four-school jamboree. Linebacker Kerry Underwood was the leading tackler there, ad- vised Segai, while Hart, Jesse Wagner and Andrew Burkhart had "solid games," he said.

Tailback Be Tinaza got the Trojans on the board with a TD jaunt in the fourth quarter to end a scoreless stalemate. Levi Roadman's successful PAT pass to Preston Simmons wound up being the game-winner, as ECS failed to convert after drawing to within a point by way of a long TD pass in the dying mo- ments of the game. Canal coach Greg Segai lauded the pertbrmance of his entire de- fensive unit and singled out line- men Colin Hart and Jordan Brown along with cornerback Tin- aza, who had two interceptions and "several key tackles," he said. Earlier, the Trojans debuted by way of a four-school jamboree. Linebacker Kerry Underwood was the leading tackler there, ad- vised Segai, while Hart, Jesse Wagner and Andrew Burkhart had "solid games," he said.
