Names in the games
Posted by Tim TrowerSome names of note have surfaced lately:
Jason Allred, for instance, came across my e-mail on a Google alert because his record score in a college golf tournament had been matched.
In the 61st annual Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo Golf Course, John Streibach from Xavier was the individual champion, finishing with a final-round 63 Tuesday and a three-day total of 199. The 63 tied the record first set by 1964 U.S. Open champion and former CBS-TV golf commentator Ken Venturi, who played for San Jose State in the 1950s, and matched by Allred and Bryan Pini of the University of the Pacific. Streibach also tied Allred’s tournament record for a 54-hole score.
Allred, a member of the Nationwide Tour, will be in Medford on April 3 to speak at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes banquet at Rogue Valley Country Club. The banquet is at 6 p.m., and the cost is $40. For information, call Jim Winans at 261-2809.
Allred’s appearance will follow a tournament in Livermore, Calif. This week, the Nationwide Tour resumes in Broussard, Louisiana, after a month layoff.
Meanwhile, in boxing, Central Point super heavyweight Mike Wilson has qualified to represent the U.S. in the Pan Am Games. He lost in the championships of a qualifier in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, 13-10 to Didier Vence of Canada but still gains a berth.
The Pan Am Games are July 13-29 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
And former North Medford baseball player Brett Timmerman helped Corban College of Salem to its fourth straight win with a game-winning single up the middle that scored two in a 5-3 victory Tuesday over Simpson. Ex-South Medford player Ryan Heil had a run-scoring bunt single early in the game and later scored on Timmerman’s winning hit after reaching on an error.
Former North Medford player Nate Mayben is in his first as coach of the team.
