Vikin s
g boys track team wins Salisbury indoor title
RUNNING
Tim Bamforth
don and Mike Blankenship won
the 800-meter relay in 1:45.
On the girls side, the Vikings
have one of the smallest teams
ever with only a dozen athletes on
the team. However, the young
squad was able to score their most
at Salisbury this season with 21
points. The girls placed sixth in
the field of 16 teams.
The" girls were led by high
jumper Rebecca Hollingsworth as
she captured the only first place
for Cape with a height of 5-0 in
her specialty. Hollingsworth
seems to be improving her tech-
nique weekly and should be look-
ing forward to a fine outdoor sea-
son ahead.
The Cape team will make two
upcoming trips to Tower Hill to
compete with all the Delaware
teams in the state before gathering
for the Delaware state champi-
onships at the University of
Delaware in February.
Good luck to the Vikings at
Tower Hill and let's hope Coach
The Cape Henlopen boys in-
door track team, under the leader-
ship of veteran coach George Pep-
per, moved up a notch in the
standings and captured the team
title last Friday night, Jan. 12, at
the fourth Salisbury Indoor Invita-
tional.
Meets are held on the 180-meter
gym floor oval at the Wicomico
Youth and Civic Center against all
of the Bayside teams, a handful of
Maryland and Virginia teams and
a few Delaware teams from up-
state and downstate to make up a
fun evening of competitive track
and field.
The Viking boys, last year's Di-
vision II state outdoor champions,
won four events and scored 83
points to top the field of 16 teams.
"This was an improved effort
from the last few weeks," said
Pepper. "The team looked very
competitive at the Bayside Con-
ference level. Many athletes are
looking forward to the Tower Hill
competition in another week."
The Vikings captured two indi-
vidual events
on the night,
led by distance
runner Andrew
Freeman in the
3200 meters in
11:06 and high
jumper Rob
Dorman with a
5-8 clearance.
Cape also FREEMAN
was able to win two of the three
relays as the team of Freeman,
Nick Adams, Nick Lemmon and
Matt Jackson won the 3200-meter
relay in 9:22. The team of Devon
Streett, Domenique Kee, Jon Gor-
Pepper has a full squad both times
to crank out some fast State Meet
Qualifying performances.

SHARON PERRY, AMANDA
CLARK RUN DISNEY
MARATHON - Local runners
Sharon Perry
and Amanda
Clark compet-
ed in the Dis-
ney Marathon
on Jan. 7 in
Orlando, Fla.
along with
13,000 runners
from around
PERRY the country.
Both runners are supporters of
the Seashore Strider Racing Se-
ries during the summer months
and both athletes toed the starting
line in Florida with goals in mind.
To finish the 26.2-mile journey
is anyone's first and most impor-
tant goal as both did with very re-
spective performances.
Perry, a 33-year-old from Re-
hoboth Beach, competed in the
30-34 age group and finished
1,130th overall in a time of
3:48.58 to average 8:51 per mile.
Clark, a 23-year-old from Frank-
ford, competed in the 18-24 age
group and finished 1,691st overall
in a time of 4:03.19 to average
9:19 per mile.
Perry had a goal of finishing un-
der the Boston Marathon 3:45
qualifying mark for her age group
and came up just short of the time.
Perry had some trouble with de-
hydration and had to be taken to
the medical tent and put on an IV
for about two hours following her
finish.
"I learned a lot of lessons and
eagerly await October so I can
have another chance to qualify for
Boston," said Perry, a regular at
the Grove Club on Tuesday
evenings. "It's amazing what our
bodies can go through and sur-
vive:"
Clark ran the marathon as part
of the Team in Training Program
for Leukemia & Lymphoma, the
official race beneficiary for the
Disney event.
The program, through all of the
runners raising money for the dif-
ferent events, takes in an amazing
$5 million annually.
Clark ran the Bottle & Cork 10-
Miler last September in 1:16:14
and won the series 20-24 age
group in 2:25:37 last summer.
Her time of 2:25:37 in the series
also placed her third overall in the
overall series behind Christine
Lacy (2:19:52) and Disney buddy
Sharon Perry (2:24:13), which is
an interesting stat.
Interesting because Series
Champ Lacy of Glassboro, N.J.
just happened to finish 824th in a
time of 3:42:22 in the same Dis-
ney Marathon, which put the top
three series finishers from last
summer all in the same race.
Great job girls!
Cape's freshman hoop team polishes off Sussex Central 33-31
Cape's Scott Shockley takes aim
at two of his game-high 11 points in
the victory of Sussex Central last
week.
By Kenny Riedel
Cape's freshman basketball team
disposed of Sussex Central Tues-
day, upping their record to 5-1 with
a 33-31 victory on Tuesday, Jan. 16.
The Vikings were paced by excel-
lent efforts and lights-out shooting
accuracy from Jordan Thomas and
Scott Schockley, who drained 11
points each in the 33-31 triumph.
Omar Johnson husded nonstop and
contributed five hard-earned points.
Stephan Shockley tallied four as
well, hitting shots with impeccable
timing to spur the squad toward the
win. Josh Duffield notched a
jumper to close Cape's scoring.
At the contest's onset, Scott
Shockley was practically Cape's
loan rebounder, launching himself
through the air with the utmost de-
sire and limiting Cen{ral to one-shot
possessions. His teammates, how-
ever, failed to deny the Knights on
the glass. Second- and third-chance
scores kept Central in the game
throughout the first half.
Tough team defense and Shock-
ley's barrage of pull-up jumpers
keyed a two-point edge for Cape at
the halftime horn.
With Cape ahead 14-12, Thomas
did his best impersonation of the
"Energizer Bunny," speeding down
the floor for tough runners and then
knocking down a three-pointer to
give Cape a six-point edge. The ag-
ile point guard also forced many
turnovers to keep the cold-shooting
Central offense stagnant.
After Central cut into Cape's lead,
Shockley dropped a bomb of his
own from downtown to extend the
lead to 25-20. Johnson and Thomas
followed with scores to make it a
nine-point game after three periods.
The Knights slowly crept back in-
to the game and refused to give in.
Cape's lead fluctuated between four
and six in the final quarter. The
Viking advantage that built up in
the third quarter, though, was just
enough to stave off the pesky Cen-
tral squad.
Even a 50-foot, buzzer-beating
miracle wasn't enough as Cape held
on for the win.
"They didn't play that well, but
Central gave us the win. We just
took it. Scott [Shockley] did pretty
well. He hit the boards all night,"
commented freshman coach
Poochie Hazzard.
The team will next battle Poly-
tech in a home game on Friday, Jan.
26.
