00Set to
THE DANCE-TEAM CLIMBERS and their bitty proteges, seen here dur-
ing last week's annual Junior Dance Camp at the high school, are sched-
uled to strut their stuff in a special halftime performance at Friday's
basketball game in the Minidome.
Girls win, boys lose
Hoop Climbers'
paths diverge
The girls of Climber basketball
celebrated their long-awaited re-
turn to the Minidome Saturday
with a 64-31 win over visiting
Franklin Pierce.
Taking their nonleague visitors
out of the game early with a full-
court trapping press that yield-
ed turnover after turnover, the
Climbers had a double-digit lead
by early in the second quarter and
never looked back. They improved
to 3-0 after earlier missing the
better part of two weeks prior to
Christmas when one cancellation
led to another.
Shelton's boys, meanwhile, lost
for just the second time in seven
outings when nonleague host Cen-
tralia's Tigers tripped them up 64-
57 a week ago Wednesday.
The Climbers went to the free-
throw line just six times, their
hosts fully 28.
Senior veteran Corey Golob had
20 points and three assists to lead
the way in defeat. All-league class-
mate Curtis Trondsen tossed in 17
points and fellow senior veteran
Derek Ranney led on the boards
with nine rebounds.
A 5-16 second quarter proved
the Climber boys' undoing.
FOR THEIR GIRL counter-
parts, all-league junior guard
Brynna Fuller popped in 16 points
to lead the way.
Classmates CarrieAnne Allegri
and Paige Barrett added 13 and 12
points, respectively, while senior
veterans Krystal Lindblad and
Brandi Dickinson combined for 15
more.

McClary twins now
Arkansas Razorbacks
Distance running's celebrated
McClary twins of Shelton have
transferred from Cal-Berkeley to
renowned track power Arkansas.
Citing business-ed goals that
were not being met at the Pac-
10 school that wooed them with
matching full-ride scholarships in
'04, now-junior siblings Andy and
Alex broke with the Golden Bears
following a disappointing cross-
country season this past fall and
just prior the Christmas break ac-
cepted internationally renowned
Razorback coach John McDonnell's
invitation to walk on at fabled U of
Arkansas.
Although it has not been formal-
ized, says their morn - one-time
Razorback sprinter and cheer-
leader Judy McClary - scholar-
ships there at the Arkansas school
are expected to be forthcoming for
both Climber grads.
SATURDAY, TWO DAYS be-
fore their scheduled flight to Fay-
etteville, the twins were halfway
forthright on their move. That is
to say, The Journal succeeded in
contacting one but not both twins.
"I just think that it's definitely a
good change," said Andy. "I guess
(CaD just wasn't really for me any-
more. I mean, it wasn't really like
there was anything bad about the
Cal team or anything, I would say.
I don't think it's so much the track
program but the school itself.
"It's just a really tough school,
and a lot of people that were goin'
there: They didn't quite under-
stand that when they first went
there. I guess during the recruit-
ing process, like, coaches described
the way the school is but it might
not have been a hundred-percent
accurate. Cuz the school is pretty
tough.
"So the real reason we thought
we needed to leave was cuz we had
a tough time getting the majors we
wanted to get into."
ON THE TRACK, to be sure,
there was plenty to cheer. Both
twins shattered all-time frosh
point-scoring records for the Gold-
en Bears their first spring, and
prep All-American Alex even made
it to the NCAA Division I national
championships in the 800 meters
that year while his brother made
the provisional list in the mile and
just barely missed making the
trip.
But this fall, after a sophomore
year marked more by the struggle
to up their mileage for the de-
mands of cross-country than im-
provement of PRs, the twins fell
on hard times.
"Yeah, it was a tough year in
cross-country," said Andy. I mean,
the team had a lot of big expec-
