victory over the Sockers.
The Sting beat the Roughnecks 3-1

gielski scored for the Roughnecks.
Sean Callahan’s 3 goals paced a

Wyoming Valley Back Mountain
Triathlon last Sunday was special to
most of the 349 participants who
competed. Those participants from
the Back Mountain area, who were
able to race expressed their plea-
sure with this year’s event.
They felt that everything was
exceptionally well organized and
there were plenty of volunteers all
along the route, well equipped with
juice and water; also plenty of first
aid stops for those in need of them.
Lori Goeringer suffered a great
disappointment. After training for
the past four months, she suffered a
stress fracture and was unable to
start. ‘I was out before I started
but I’m looking forward to next
year. I'm going to start training
slower and hopefully, everything
will be alright.”
Her husband, Paul, finished six
minutes faster than he did in last
year’s Triathlon and 205th overall,
with which he was well pleased.
Kim Reese, of Shavertown, Penn
State student, was thrilled with her
result. This was the fourth year she
had entered the Triathlon and this
year she finished 261st of the 334
who finished. She came in seventh
in her age group and plans to enter
again next year. “I will aim to
finish higher in the next one,” said
Top female
Newtown, Penn.,
4. The Strikers comeback was aided
by the superaltive goal tending of
Stuart Graham.
The Stallions battled the Lancers
to a 6-0 victory. Goals were scored
by Nikki Sennett, will woronko,
Joseph Ankenbrend, Paul Bigus,
David Thomas and Michael Viglone.
The Aztecs beat the Arrows 2-1 in a
close game that featured strong
defense by both teams.
In the U-12 Division the Chargers,
Comets and Kicks continued on the
winning track with the Chargers
beating the Wings 6-3 and the Kicks
shutting out the Cosmos 7-0. Jeff
Sands was the Kicks goalie for the
shutout. Steven Hedden was out-
standing for the Comets who edged
the Express 4-3 in the final minutes
of the game. In that struggle Billy
King scored one for the Comets with
Hedden adding 3 more including the
winning goal. Andrea Shone was a
hard playing Comets defender. Ned
Palka led the way for the Express
with all three Express goals.

Kim.
This is the second year Raelene
Daring of Dallas competed and she
did nine minutes better than last
year with no more training than the
last one. “I believe my faster time
was because of knowing what it was
like. That was a big help. I plan to
enter again next year but I hope to
train more.”
The Kavanagh family of Dallas
were exceptionally pleased with
their times. Gerald Kavanagh, his
daughter, Kelley, son Sean, and two
of Sean’s friends from Virginia com-
peted in the race and all did well.
Kelley, however, was the only one
of the five to win a trophy. The 16-
year old finished third in her age
group. She completed the race in
3:26. Her father, Jerry, came in
fourth in his age group, finishing in
2:55. Sean finished 74th overall in
2:31. His friends took slightly longer
but not much, one completing the
race in 2:40 and the other finishing
in 3:08.
Of the five of them, Kelley did the
best in swimming, coming first out
of the water in the swimming. That
is her strong point since she has
been a member of several swim
teams.
Mike Budjnoski of Harveys Lake
finished 64th overall, although he
feels he should have been able to do
better. He finished 9th in his age
group but he took third place in the
Triple Crown Keystone competition
in his age group of 35-39. This was a
surprise and pleased Mike since it is
the first year for it.
“It is one of the most excellent
competitions I have ever known,”
said Mike. “It is so well organized
and runs so smoothly. Everything is
so well taken care of and the
volunteers are wonderful.
“The Triathlon attracts about 400
athletes plus two or three others
who usually come with them. This
means places to stay for all of these
people and meals the day before
and after the race. It brings a lot of
money into this are, and it is clean,
healthy competition.”
The Triathlon ran smoothly and
most participants pronounced it a
tremendous success but over it all
hung one cloud-the tragic accident
the night before the race to Dave
Kramer, husband of the Triathlon
Director Pat Kramer. He was hit by
a vehicle while marking the dark
road at Demunds Corners so bikers
would take the right turn and ended
up in the intensive care unit of
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.

Dallas and Lake Lehman High
School soccer teams have been hold-
ing regular practice sessions in
anticipation of the 1985-86 season.
The Dallas Mountaineers, coached
by John McCafferty, will be playing
for the first time this season in the
newly-formed Wyoming Valley Con-
ference.
The Knights, under the direction
of Coach Ray Dennis, are playing
for the first time as a Lake Lehman
High School Varsity team. Organ-
ized too late to become a member of
the Conference, the Knights will
play as an independent P.I.A.A.A.
team, but will meet every team in
the Conference.
Coach Dennis has 20 boys on the

team roster, six of them seniors.
Despite this being the first year for
the school varsity most of the boys
have had experience playing in the
Back Mountain Youth Soccer Asso-
ciation.
Seniors forming the nucleus for
Dennis are Matt Gooch, Scott Sesin,
Brandon Dennis, Mike Kmetz, and
two senior foreign exchange stu-
dents, Mikael Hagman of Sweden
and Oyvend Undheim of Norway.
The latter two played soccer in their
home countries.
“The team has great potential
should win at least 50 percent, if not
more of their games this season,”
said Dennis. “The boys have been :
practicing well and should come
together before the start of the
season.’
