Message from the President Limits. From early childhood we have limits placed upon us. They are wellintentioned. They usually are given to us to keep us safe, to help us do the right thing, to provide guidance and structure. But over time we also find that we are prone to impose limits on ourselves. We find ourselves saying things such as, “I can’t do that” or “I will never be able to” or “that’s impossible.” This issue of the Central Catholic Magazine focuses on accomplishments that shed light on the true nature of limits. They are less barriers than measures of what the human spirit may indeed achieve one day. We are treated in this issue to stories of Rams reaching for the top and getting there. A 72-year-old alum ascending to the North Pole and flying the Central Catholic flag there; an alum earning yet another Olympic medal while the world watched; the incredible personal achievements of alums who run ultra-distances; and two state championships earned the same day in volleyball and cross country. Each a separate achievement, but all done with a supporting cast of characters: teammates on the court or course, a supporting team of coaches, trainers, and mentors. The common element found in all is hard work, preparation, a goal, and the belief that they were capable of accomplishing what they ultimately achieved. Impossible quests for some, but a limit to be tested and met by these Rams.
students and wrote clearly to our parents what is acceptable and unacceptable for our students’ language and behaviors. David Blue, our Director of Diversity and Inclusion, convened a brown bag lunch series of “Courageous Conversations” in which points of view and feelings were the topic of discussion, not arguments about them. Archbishop Sample wrote, “I humbly ask for a civil discourse between those of differing views, and always with the Lord Jesus Christ as our moderator. We are all equal in dignity in the eyes of our Creator, and through Him there is a peace which surpasses all understanding.” I believe the Central Catholic environment and culture affords us the opportunity to address challenges and excel at resolving them. May we find ourselves in a world we responsibly help shape by our words and actions in 2017. Happy New Year,
Tony Leineweber ’62 President
I find in these amazing individuals a strong desire, a will, to achieve something difficult and to recognize that it takes a team of people to make it happen. I find lessons to be learned from these experiences of our students and alums that can apply to our Central Catholic community now and looking forward. Our school, just as our nation, experienced the strains of the election process. The rhetoric, the messaging, the behaviors witnessed on the national stage sent our country into a longing for it all to end. Well, it has, and then comes a new beginning. But the healing of wounds takes time; it also takes effort. It takes a sense of striving to overcome what was viewed by many to be impossible: forging a satisfactory outcome. I believe within our community we have what it takes to do just that. As we commit to prepare students for life, our alums and our current students demonstrate that preparation through their exceptional accomplishments. Our students, parents, faculty, staff, friends, and alums are all a part of our community, our Ramily. We share the gifts Jesus brought to us in our beliefs, teachings, and lives. We know we simply are to do two things well: love our God above all else and love our neighbor as we do ourselves. The practice of these, done well and intentionally, will secure the solution our community seeks. Why bring up the discord brought about by this year’s electoral process? Because at this time of peace and goodwill and new resolve, we will not have a better moment in which to pause and reflect on what we need to do individually and as a community to model the behavior and rhetoric our students need to see. This is a teachable moment in a school setting. What we model in our words and actions is what our young people hear and see. They learn from us. Within the school we have used this election cycle as a teachable moment. Our senior-level government classes participated in voter forums and laid out arguments on both sides of big ballot measures in Oregon.

Going the Distance On a rainy day in Track Town USA, the Central Catholic Cross Country teams took their marks for the 2016 State Championship meet; the girls’ team coming off their first ever Mount Hood Conference win, the boys continuing a legacy of more than a decade of appearances in this meet. The rain apparently didn’t bother the Rams as the boys won their fifth consecutive championship meet; their tenth win since 2003. With this current reign of dominance comes discipline, teamwork, and tradition.
instead of splitting his time between the two sports he wanted to pick one and try to be great at it. After talking it over with his parents and coaches he decided to focus his efforts on cross country. With Galen’s full-time commitment to the program and a strong freshman class of runners in 2001, the team started to rise toward greatness. The 2001 season saw a Mount Hood Conference Championship. Just two years later, the team would win their first state championship. And the rest, as they say, is history!
The Boys’ Cross Country team has a saying, “Tradition Never Graduates.” Coach Dave Frank says that this simply means the team and the program are more important than any one athlete or graduating class. The current team members take the words to heart and work with the younger athletes so they understand what the program is trying to accomplish. They teach the younger runners how to act, how to be champions, how to deal with adversity, and how to stay ahead of the game with their studies. Frank says when any particular class graduates, they know they’ve prepared the next group for success.
Central Catholic has a legacy of great runners in our community. Here are a few who take running like a Ram to an extreme level:
You can also see and feel this tradition with many of the alumni who continue to support the boys and the Cross Country program. Leading up to the state meet, current team members received letters from past Central Catholic runners sharing their thoughts, memories, and inspiration for the race to come. A 2010 graduate wrote, “Whenever I doubted myself, I looked into the eyes of my teammates and I saw how courageous and ready they were, and then I would realize, hey, I am courageous and ready too, because I was there with them.” Many of these alums were also there on meet day to encourage the boys during the race. At one point, when the start was delayed due to an issue with the timing system, the alums took off their jackets and sweatshirts and gave them to our seven runners as they waited in the rain for the start of the race. When did this tradition begin? Coach Frank traces it back to the early 2000s when he began coaching with Alberto Salazar. He says through some “serendipity,” it was also the year Galen Rupp ’04 joined the team part-time. (Many people might not know that Galen played soccer the fall of his freshman year at Central Catholic. He would practice with the soccer team six days a week and on the seventh day, would work out with the Cross Country team.) After an injury, Galen says he had some reevaluating to do. He decided, 4 | Central Catholic Magazine

Galen Rupp ’04 is perhaps our most well-known runner. He says he was introduced to running by his mom who was a good runner in her high school and college days. He came to Central Catholic thinking he was going to be a soccer player but took the running route his sophomore year and has been doing it ever since. “I remember sitting down with Alberto my sophomore year and talking about running in the Olympics in 2008, which was obviously a few years away, and him telling me, ‘We are really going to take a long term approach with you and make sure we don’t overdo it too early to get short term results.’” Galen would go on to run at the University of Oregon and participate in three different Olympic games. In Beijing he placed thirteenth in the 10,000 meter; in London he placed seventh in the 5,000 meter and second in the 10,000; and in Rio de Janeiro he placed third in the marathon. What’s next for Galen? He hopes to focus on the marathon and return for the 2020 Olympics.
Christine (Stewart) Rockey ’88 has run three ultramarathons, 67 marathons, and over 25 half marathons. Even though she was not a runner at Central Catholic (she played volleyball, basketball, and cheered), she joined the cross country team her freshman year at Santa Clara University because she missed being part of a team. Christine ran her first half marathon her senior year at Santa Clara and hasn’t stopped running since. She says her inspiration comes from the great things that running does for her physically, mentally, and spiritually, adding that she uses her running time to pray and connect with God. Of the 67 marathons she has run, Christine has been the top female finisher in 13 and has finished second in 10. These days, she competes less often and gives more of her time to volunteer coaching and to pacing races.
Mike Kirkmire ’88 has run 22 ultramarathons, competes in triathlons, and is considering running a 100-mile race next spring. Mike was on the track team for two years at Central Catholic, running distance his freshman year and throwing javelin his sophomore year. He remembers when he and Ted Lattig ‘87 would get their workouts done as quickly as possible during his freshman year so they could go to Mister Burger and have a shake. That drove then cross country and long distance coach, Lew Schoenberg, crazy. He got more into running when he started competing in triathlons. After a mountain bike crash that injured his wrist and kept him off his bike and out of the water for eight weeks, he turned to running. The thing that keeps him coming back to run these long distances is the scenery. “I’ve raced in all sorts of gorgeous settings; desert steppes of southern Idaho, above 8,000 feet in elevation along the Continental Divide Trail, and through spectacular views of the Sawtooth Mountains. I’ve seen all sorts of wildlife: wild horses, elk, deer, fox, and even a bear. That’s worth the pain and suffering.”
Tracy Cone ’90 began running ultramarathons and trail running in 2011. She says being in nature is a huge source of inspiration and also a big stress relief. She completed her first 50-mile trail run in October. Tracy says she is very competitive and is motivated to attempt these long distances just because of the sheer challenge of doing a race beyond the “traditional” marathon. Although she didn’t participate in cross country at Central Catholic, she has been running for exercise since high school.
David Laney ‘07 is a Nike Trail athlete. David started running at Central Catholic in 2003 and says he has too many memories from those days to count. He says one of the things that stuck out is that every summer the cross country team would do a week-long training camp at Odell Lake or Sunriver. “I remember going to Mass at St. Francis in downtown Bend one night during camp. It’s not every day that 20 or 30 sixteen-year-olds in shirts and ties show up for Mass. I remember lots of people saying they were really happy we were there. Things like that always had a big impact on me, getting out of the high school cross country bubble and realizing we are part of a much bigger community.” David started trail running in 2013 after a successful college career at Southern Oregon University. He signed with the newly formed Nike Trail Running Team at the end of that year. He says he loves spending time in big mountains and really wild places that would usually take days to backpack into. David was named Ultrarunner of the Year by UltraRunning Magazine in 2015. Over the summer, David competed in the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc, a 103-mile race in the Alps, and placed fourth out of more than two thousand runners. He also works as a running coach with Trails and Tarmac where he helps people understand the basics of training and gives tips on gear, nutrition, and travel. Winter 2016 | 5
Alumni Profile: David Heniges ’62 David Heniges has a passion for the impossible. This passion has inspired him to scour the globe for adventure, visiting more than 160 different countries. But his most recent destination was unlike any other. He set his sights on the North Pole. His mission? Make Central Catholic’s presence known at the top of the world! He refers to this expedition to 90 Degrees North as a “mission impossible.” This trip is not for the faint of heart and took much longer than he originally expected. Before Dave set out on this mission, he decided that instead of standing at the top of the world and congratulating himself, he wanted to do something special. His competitive nature drove him to the idea: what if we could beat Jesuit to the North Pole? He called his classmate, Tony Leineweber ’62, and asked for a flag to stake our claim! The journey there was no easy task. Dave flew from Los Angeles to London, from London to Oslo, and finally to Longyearbyen, Norway. Once in this tiny coastal hamlet of about 2,000 people, the expedition to the North Pole was projected to take three days as the group of extreme adventure tourists were to fly into Barneo Ice Camp, a seasonal base camp operated by the Russian Geological Society, and then on to the North Pole. The actual trip ended up taking ten days! Dave and the members of his expedition group learned of delays once they 6 | Central Catholic Magazine
reached Longyearbyen. They entered a period of uncertainty, as flights were cancelled due to significant ice floe cracks in the Barneo Ice Camp runway. All the travelers were put on “stand-by” with a three-hour lead time. Day by day he and his travel companions gathered for a briefing to learn about flight status. Dave had only booked a one-night stay in Longyearbyn, so each night he had to find different accommodations. This task became more and more difficult as delays continued and travelers remained stranded. On nights when the hotels were completely booked, Dave would stay in people’s homes in spare bedrooms or on their couches. He says he chose to look at this time as a blessing in disguise, as he was able to explore the tiny coal mining town, go out on daily hiking excursions, and get acquainted with the natives. After six days, they were finally given the go-ahead. By this time, 40 percent of Dave’s expedition group had dropped out. On April 20, the remaining group members flew to Barneo Ice Camp. Once they arrived at Barneo, they took the 40-minute helicopter ride to 90 Degrees North, the top of the world! Dave says being there is what he imagines it’s like on the moon. The terrain is like nothing else in the world, there is no land mass, you are standing in the middle of the Artic Ocean, on a sheet of ice that is six to ten feet thick, with the understanding that the ice is moving one to two miles a day. The silence is deafening and the habitat is
unpredictable. Dave unfurled the Central Catholic flag and planted it at the North Pole on April 20, 2016 at 11:34 a.m. He brought the flag back to 24th and Stark after this great adventure. This fall, Dave gathered with some of his fellow 1962 graduates and met with this year’s senior class. He told the students about his pursuit of the impossible and presented them with a challenge. He asked them to write down and send him their own “impossible” goals and create an action plan to achieve them. The winning submissions would receive a scholarship to help make their “impossible” goal a reality. Dave said that it was his goal to inspire awareness among our senior class. He hoped to encourage our students to explore their areas of interest whether it be medicine, travel, cooking, or advanced education, and then establish objectives to support and achieve their dreams. Dave also recited one of his favorite quotes by professional hockey player Wayne Gretzky when talking about this challenge, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!” Eighteen of our students decided to take that shot and submitted to the challenge Dave presented. Three seniors, Parker Eggiman, Gavin Macpherson, and Zanzan Brink, were selected as winners. As for Dave’s next big adventure, he plans to travel to Madagascar next year. In closing he said, “Life is an achievement. So you must get up, get out, and explore!”
Student Profile: Hunter Baldridge ’17 There really wasn’t much down time for Hunter Baldridge during his summer break from school at Central Catholic. The rising senior spent the summer jet setting to military training, performing volunteer work, and also managing to get in some relaxation time with his family.
the kitchen, he enjoyed playing with the kids staying there. Some of their favorite activities were playing soccer or cards together.
His first stop was Annapolis, Maryland for a week-long Naval Academy Seminar. Hunter described this time as an opportunity to see what life would be like as a member of the armed forces as he weighs his options for college. At the seminar, he learned about the importance of strong leadership, commitment, and brotherhood. Hunter attended a variety of academic workshops including aviation, math, physics, military history, and technical skills. He went through athletic and leadership training and bunked in Bancroft Hall where all Academy midshipmen live.
He said this week-long experience changed his life. Hearing stories from the refugees showed him a human side to the war and conflict that is going on in the Middle East. Hunter said that despite all the refugees have lost, there is still optimism among them about finding a better life. “The spirit of hope among all the refugees was incredible and inspirational. I believe that hope creates energy, and energy moves things forward.” One of the most memorable parts of this week, he said, was celebrating the end of Ramadan with the refugees. He had the opportunity to learn about the traditions that surround this observance including dances and the different foods that are prepared.
After the Naval Academy, Hunter traveled to Sardinia, Italy for some rest and relaxation with family before heading to Athens, Greece to volunteer at the City Plaza Hotel for Refugees. This self-organized housing project accommodates 400 people, of which 180 are children. Currently, the hotel is serving refugees from Syria, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Hunter worked in the kitchen of the hotel preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner which was about 900 meals a day. When he wasn’t hard at work in
The volunteer work Hunter did in Athens is part of his senior service project. Hunter says he chose to travel to Athens to work with refugees because he wanted to personally experience some of the realities of the refugee crisis and give them support as they go through the uncertain transition between refugee and citizen. “I realized the need for people to come together in order to make a change in the world while looking out for each other, taking action for what we believe in, and showing concern for our fellow man.”
Hunter only had a couple days of recovery time after his volunteer work before he headed to Quantico, Virginia for the Marine Corps Summer Leadership and Character Building Academy. This was a week of physical activities, leadership briefs, and live military scenarios. What a busy summer for this young man! As he makes his way through senior year, he has his eyes on the future. Hunter says he plans to attend college and participate in an ROTC flight program. He hopes to get his degree in aviation and one day serve in the armed forces.
