I am Adam Thygeson, the head coach of the Oregon City Boys' Track and Field Team.  2012 will be my 8th year as the head coach of the Pioneers.  Before coming to Oregon City I was an assistant coach at Madison High School in Portland for six years.  My event focus is the throws, specifically the shot put and the discus.  

Champions

After a great dual meet season in which we finished a perfect 6-0 in league matches, and 10-0 overall, we hosted the Three Rivers League Championships this past Thursday and Friday.  Our boys continued their dominance of the league this year by scoring 169 points.  Our cross-river rival West Linn was second with 132.5 points.  We advanced eight boys in nine events on to the state meet in Eugene next weekend.  Trevor Ferguson led the way with three individual league titles in the 110m HH, long jump, and triple jump.  Kody Kozak will also be competing in three events as he was the league champion in the 300m IH, runner up in the high jump, and was a member of the league champion 4x400m relay.  The other legs of the relay were Charlie Poppen, Grant Wilson, and Brycen Driver.  Tyler Ferguson won the javelin title on his final throw.  Greg Skipper was the class of the field in the shot put, and Jarom Youngblood pulled off the upset to win the pole vault.

Next week is the state meet in Eugene and we hope to bring a trophy back home to OC!
