Disappointment at state
Power//fling judge's standard
stymies several Highclimbers
By EMILY HANSON
emily@masoncoun com
Three Shelton senior powerliftrs
had never missed qualifying their
squat lifts at any meet in three years
of competitions.
That changed Saturday.
Hunter Ostenson, Jayden Micas
and Cody Nacht each missed their
squat lift attempts at the state power-
lifting meet at Columbia High School
in White Salmon, eliminating them
from the competition.
"The judging on one of the racks
was really difficult, taking our lift-
ers deeper than parallel so we had a
couple guys not get their lift in the
squat," head coach Lorna Martinson
said. "That depth judging for squat
is tough to judge and is subjective.
We just didn't adapt to how deep the
judges were taking us on those racks.
We take pride in our squat technique
and depth and it has been a focus
in our weight room ever since these
young men started powerlifting for
us, so for that to happen was very
frustrating."
Without those three lifters in the
competition, Shelton fell behind Mon-
tesano to take second place with 32
points. Montesano won among 19
schools with 48 points. The High-
climbers finished ahead of Newport
in third with 31 and Omak in fourth
with 30.
"For most of our team, we had an
outstanding meet," Martinson said.
"On the boys side, their second-place
finish was driven by some amazing
record-setting performances."
Senior Jayton Rasmusson won the
123.-pound weight division, setting
two school records.
His total lift was 920 pounds. He set
the SHS school records for his weight
class in the squat at 345 pounds and
in the bench at 230 pounds. He lifted
345 pounds in the dead lift.
Rasmusson lifted the third-best
bench among all lifters. He was cho-
sen as the sixth-best overall lifter
among all boys.
Winning the 181-pound weight di-
vision, senior Kris Woods also set a
school record. His total lift was 1,315
pounds. Woods set the school record
for his weight class in the dead lift
at 515 pounds. He lifted a 485-pound
squat and 315-pound bench.
Among all of the boys who lifted,
Woods lifted the 10th-best squat,
fourth-best bench and second-best
dead lift. He was named the third-
best lifter among all competitors.
At 220 pounds, senior Daniel Diaz
set the SHS school record for his
weight class's three-lift total at 1,390
(545, 320, 525). Diaz fmished the
meet in second place.
Diaz had the eighth-best squat lift
among all boys.
Additionally, senior Chris
Schwisow lifted the seventh-best
bench. He took sixth place in the
148-pound weight class with a total
lift of 905 (300, 255, 350).
The Shelton girls team tied for
sixth place with 11 points. Montesano
also won the girls meet with 55 points
among 18 schools.
"We had five girls who fmished tied
for sixth as a team, which is amaz-
ing," Martinson said.
Senior Felisity Brush was the
highest-placing Shelton girl. She took
third in the 97-pound weight class
with a total lift of 435 (135, 95, 205).
"Felisity attempted a 220-pound
dead lift on her final lift in an attempt
to break our school record," Martin-
son said. "Sh6 got it half-way up, but
just couldn't lock it out."
Felisity had the fifth-best deadlift
among all the girls who competed.
