In high hurdles ells top U. e Climber track's Doug Sells has gone to the head of the class nationally once again, but not in his accustomed shot-put venue. America's top-ranked 11th- grader in the event after winning his second straight state 3-A title last spring and then boosting his all4ime Climber record to 62-9t/2 over the summer, Sells took over the nation's school-boy lead last weekend in the 50-meter high hurdles. Fie did so in a huge indoor meet in Eugene, home of the same University of Oregon track power to which he has pledged his Pac-10 services starting next fhll. IN FACT, BEFORE he stood the field on its ear with a winning 7.04.-second sprint in the event, Doug was introduced to the crowd there in historic Hayward Field as a U of O star of the future. So buoyed, the Climber senior proceeded to take first place in the high-school division's shotput competition as well, topping out at 56-6. Yes, that's well shy of his best, but there's a good reason. Concen- trating on the hurdles the past off season after stunning the local track world with a school-record 14.68 in the 110-meter highs for third in last spring's state show- down, Doug has essentially quit training for the weight event alto- gether. WHAT'S MORE, in the inter- est of maximizing his already sprint-worthy speed (11.2 best in the 100 meters), he's dropped ful- ly 15 pounds from his 6-2 frame, from 205 last spring to 190 pomds. "And he may get even lighter," advises his dad, Shelton track historian and shotput coach John "Sells. As for Doug's 7.04 clocking in Saturday's 50-meter race, it's cur- rently the fastest this year by any high-school boy in the nation. AND HOW GOOD is that? Well, says his dad, one of the nation's premier young hurdlers, a kid who went 13.71 under fully automatic timing (or about 13.4 hand-timed) to win the California state title last spring, wound up with a 50-meter best of 6.89 last year, and that was after essen- tially a full season of getting in shape. In other words, says the elder Sells, on his current pace Doug should annihilate his own Climb- er record in the ll0-meter hur- dles this coming season and be a leading candidate to cop state bragging rights in the event as well. OH, YES: HE'LL be gunning for his third straight shotput title too, even though he expects to devote virtually no training time to it this spring His winning 56-6 on Saturday, by the way, would have been enough to give him the 3-A crown as well last year, when he copped his second title by way of a 58-7., toss that left all pretenders to his throne more than two feet in arrears. Doug's preseason isn't over, by the way. Coming up in February are three more national-calibre meets. February 13 he'll meet the very best high-school hurdlers in the country in the Holiday Inn Classic in Reno. The next week- end will find him in the biggest prep track assemblage in the na- tion, the annual Simplot Games in Idaho. And then February 27 he'll compete in a big meet in Houston, Texas.  ]1_@ __ THURSDAY LADIES TRIO 1/7/99 Women's Hi Game: Connie Greenfield, 216. Women's Hi Series: Peg Robert=on, 485.

Some of the lads have been team- mates some seven years, dating back to the inaugural squad coached by Highclimber head coach Brian Fairbrother. This year's South Mason Youth Soccer Club assemblage ascended the state age-group throne last December in Pasco, where they capped their four-game march with a thrilling 3-2 win in double overtime over the Vancouver Cheetahs in the championship showdown. Scoring all three goals in the donnybrook was Tyler Johnson, son of fourth-year head coach Mike Johnson. From left in front in the lads' commemorative pose, above, are Nathaniel Shoemaker, Matt Jagnow, Tyler Johnson, Eric Whitney, Ryan Gonzales, Ross Fairbrother, Aaron Anderson and Levi Mease. In back are coach Mike Johnson, Sam Shoemaker, Mark Kamin, Les Freitbs, goalie Dan Berner, Justin Herman, Scott Munch and coach Carl Jagl. Just the school bus... Hoop boys' grit didn't go southl The Climber varsity hoop boys won back-to-back barnburners over top-ranked foes from the south the past week, strengthen- ing their bid for a return trip to district. They won a battle of nerves here Thursday against 5-2 Camas, getting a tie-breaking three-pointer from star guard Aaron Brown and a clinching free throw from fill-in starter Brent Armstrong in the final minute to eke out a 59-56 nod. And then Tuesday night in Centralia they staked the 6-1 Tigers to a six-point lead through the first half of play before roar- ing back behind stout defense and 6-1 junior Brown's continued hot shooting to win 48-43 and im- prove to 9-5 overall and 5-3 in league. AFTER STRUGGLING peri- odically during the first third of the season, all-leaguer Brown has found his stride and more of late. Against Camas he went five for six from the floor in the decisive fourth, canning both of his threes, and finished with a game-high 23 points. And then Tuesday in Cen- tralia he got even hotter, going a perfect four for four from two- point range and hitting four of eight from three and finishing with 20 points to go along with a team-high five steals. "And I really liked the way Armstrong played against Cam- as," put in Climber head coach Mark Jensen, noting that 6-3 Brent drew the start in the one- game absence of ailing junior Owen Bacon. "HE HIT A couple of 15-foot- ers and a couple-three layups early, you know, so he got in a pretty good flow, and then he end- ed up hittin' that big free throw at the end. He had six or seven rebounds, too. So he just had a real solid ballgame. "He really stepped up big for US." Jensen said he liked what he saw of his kids' composure Thurs- day - or at least apart from a brief stint there in the fourth. '%Ve were up about 13, I think, with just under four minutes to go, and we sorta let 'em back in it. We had about four turnovers in the last three or four minutes. "But up until then we only had seven or eight. So we did a good job o' takin' care of the ball. And we did a pretty good job defen- sively, too, for the majority of the game. We had stretches where we played very well."

Steen will play either or defensive tackle in the set for June 25 in Everett. The Climber star considering three colleges: of the respective Rivers League tral, Western and Easter t schools.

But the visitors canned a three-pointer with ten seconds to go to retake the lead for good - the Climbers failing on a despera- tion shot of their own as time ran out. Junior Liz de Weal Malefyt and sophomore Stephanie Davis combined for 43 points to lead the hosts. Juniors Willow Shanahan and Ingrid Rains added 18 in tan- dem to the Climber total. Davis shot 4-7 from three-point range and 3-7 from two-point range and also made 3-4 free throws. It was her second sizzling per- formance in four nights, by the way.
