Whits’ Hornstein 6Th

Tue., April 13, 1999

Whitworth’s Abby Jo Hornstein is sixth in a 12-woman field at the Northwest Conference heptathlon championships being contested on Boppell Track at Whitworth.

Hornstein was second in the 200 meters at 26.93 seconds, fourth in the high jump (4 feet, 10-1/4 inches), sixth in the shot put (28-9-3/4) and ninth in the 100 (18.21) the first day.

Kristi Osborne of Pacific Lutheran, who set a conference combined-event record with a 15.21-second 100 meters, is the leader after four events with a first-day-record 2,769 points. Hornstein has 2,234.

Whitworth has no entries in the men’s decathlon. Judd Hunter of PLU leads after five events with 3,547 points.

Both events wind up today.

College women’s golf

With three of the top five scorers, led by medalist Julie Wells, Idaho won its own Vandal Spring Invitational that wound up a 54-hole run Monday on the UI Golf Course.

Wells, a freshman, led the scoring for a second straight tournament, this time with a 12-over-par 228. Teammate Sara Thompson was third at 234 behind Boise State’s Jamie Jou (231) and the Vandals’ Elizabeth Carter shared fourth with Eastern Washington’s Kylie Smith at 235. Smith was low Monday with a 5-over 77.

Idaho had a three-day total of 943 for a 10-stroke win over Boise State, with EWU third at 976 in the nine-school field.

College basketball

North Idaho College center Jason Keep committed to Oklahoma State after visiting the Cowboys’ campus in Stillwater during the weekend.

The 6-foot-11 Keep, who plays at about 290 pounds, will have three years of eligibility.

Keep also visited Colorado. He will cancel trips to Florida State, Tulsa and Tennessee.

High school baseball

St. John-Endicott could have left the bats home when the Eagles visited Tekoa-Oakesdale for a Whitman County League doubleheader. The Nighthawks put together back-to-back no-hitters.

Matt Mengel had 11 strikeouts and walked five in a five-inning, 16-0 win in the first game. And Pat Heaton had three strikeouts and eight walks in a 21-2, five-inning second-game win. An error and a balk helped the winless Eagles score their two runs.
