For a swimmer to improve on his per-
sonal record in an event is an accomplish-
ment.
For a swimmer to advance to districts
at the third meet of the season with
personal records is an even greater
accomplishment.
Harrison MacAlevy achieved
the second goal in one event last
week.
The Shelton senior won the
200-yard freestyle against Capi-
tal Dec. 9 at The Evergreen
State College in Olympia with a
personal record time of 1 minute,
54.52 seconds.
The time qualified him for
the 3A West Central District III
Championship. He also qualified
for districts in two other events last :'!
week.
During the Highclimbers' Dec.
11 home meet against Wilson, MacA-
levy won the 200-yard individual med-
ley with a district-qualifying time of
2:11.98. He also won the 100-yard
butterfly with another district-qualify-
ing time of 56.3.
Shelton split the meets. Capital de-
feated the Climbers 94-87, while Shel-
ton beat Wilson 102-86.
"The results of the Capital and
Wilson meets ended up the opposite of
what I would have predicted," co-head
coach Chad Youngquist said. "Wilson
has been tougher than us recently and ::
I thought we might win against Capital.
Both teams will be a challenge for us
at the 3A Narrows League Champion- i
ship."
Although MacAlevy was the only
Shelton boy to qualify for districts at the ....
meets, 10 others qualified for the league \
championship:
• Dalton Green, 2:31.14 in the 200-yard individual
medley against Wilson; and 1:07.20 in the 100-yard
backstroke against Wilson;
• Ryan Taylor,
1:14.91 in the 100-
butterfly against

Capital; and
• Brayden Ordonez, 2:38.66 in the individual med-
ley against Capital and 1:11.31 in the butterfly against
............. Capital.
League, district and state qualifying times are deter-
mined by the officials of those meets. To compete at the
postseason meets, swimmers must meet the qualifying
time or swim an event faster than during the season.
"Our biggest improvement came from Dodge and
Schreiber," Youngquist said.
Additionally, Troy Krumpols won diving at both
meets. At the Shelton meet, he earned a personal re-
cord of 209.8 points, but the scoring has been modified
for diving this season.
"I think it is reasonable to assume that our
school records will be beaten (because of the scor-
ing modification)," Youngquist said. "... We may
need to have a new and an old record. Our current
divers are very good, but it will be hard to make
a comparison to the former divers that were also
extremely good."
Shelton will swim against Mount Tahoma at 3:30
at home.

Shelton played a "sur-
real" game on the road
Friday night, Derrick
Pringle said.
A triple overtime game
can have that affect.
Capital knocked off
the Highclimber boys
basketball team 112-106
after three extra periods.
"Both teams had their
opportunity to win," the
Shelton head coach said.
"I am so proud of how
these young men left ev-
erything on the floor."
At halftime, Capital
led 31-26, but by the end
of regulation play, the
teams were tied at 71.
Three 4-minute over-
time periods later, and
Capital earned the victory.
"When Tyler Speaks
fouled out in the fourth
quarter, Trenton Wo-
odard, Marshall Mc-
Cullough and Kevin Scott
stepped up their play
and contributed well,"
Pringle said. "Mitchell
DeAndre led the charge
with key rebounds and
defensive stops."
Woodard led the High-
climbers with 31 points,
while Scott put up 18 and
McCullough added 17.
"The high (point) of
the game was the pres-
ence of Kobe Bogh, who
stepped in for Speaks,"
Pringle said. "His key
3-pointer in regulation
got the team motivated
and started the charge to
take the lead. His defen-
sive stops and rebounds
were the key pieces we
needed from him. He did
an outstanding job."
Bogh scored 13 points.
As a team, the High-
climbers had 42 re-
bounds and made 19-of-
32 free throws.
The loss ended Shelton's
second week of games.
The Highclimbers
started last week with
their first victory in more
than one year.
On Dec. 8, Shelton de-
feated Bremerton 52-39
in Bremerton.
"The boys played well
from the start," Prin-
gle said. "We noticed
in warmups that they
were very focused and
really wanted the win.
We knew that Bremer-
ton was very athletic and
liked to pressure, so we
prepared our game plan
to put them into a situa-
tion where they couldn't
get any good looks."
