Wild card berth for state meet granted to Shelton relay team By DEAN SIEMON Just when the Shelton High School boys swimming and diving team thought the season ended, the school's 200-yard freestyle relay squad has earned a wild card spot at this weekend's 4A WIAA State Championship meet. The state championship meet is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m., Fri- day, at King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. The top-16 in each event will re- turn Saturday at the same time for the finals - the top eight race for the championship while the ninth through 16th ranked individuals/ teams compete in the consolation fi- nal. Shelton's team of freshman An- drew Grant, junior Indi Endicott and seniors Jon Ramsey and Ricky Rutledge finished ninth (1:35.35) at the 4A West Central District III meet on February 5 at Rogers (Puy- allup) High School. The top seven individuals/teams in each event earn automatic berths to the state championships - Shel- ton was nearly two seconds from the seventh place team from Curtis High School (1:33.36). Shelton head coach Chad Youngquist said leftover positions to state from the 24 overall positions are then granted by time. "So looking at it mathemati- cally, we were a long way away," Youngquist said. According to the official state swimming website from the Wash- ington Interscholastic Activities As- sociation, District III earned seven entries per event, while the second most were three entries each be- tween District I (Wesco) and District II (Kingco). "It really says our district is really fast," Youngquist said. The Highclimber swimmers for the relay event returned to prac- tice on Monday. Youngquist said the small break won't hurt them too much but, in fact, could benefit them. "We could seriously have some big time drops," he said. "With hard training, sprinters go a little slower [during the season] because they're trained for four races." Youngquist said he is fairly op- timistic for the four Highclimbers' chances to advance to the second day of competition. The Shelton coach noted the team's 200 free relay time was five seconds faster than last season's dis- trict time, which did not advance to the state meet. He also noted time improvements for both the 400-yard freestyle relay and 200-yard medley relay teams between this season and last sea- son's districts. "So as a team, we're quite a bit faster," Youngquist said. Youngquist said Ramsey and En- dicott have dropped two to three seconds from their 50-yard splits, while Rutledge has dropped another second, despite having troubles with the start and turns during districts. Youngquist said Grant has been improving his stroke, making it less attacking and more technically smooth. "I certainly don't think that they're slower," Youngquist said. With the goal to advance to the sec- ond day of competition, Youngquist said that disqualifications could al- wayss come into play. "If our guys can go faster, like I think they can, who knows?" Youn- quist asked. .: Shelton-Mason County 1| P.O. Box 430.
