VARSITY basketball cap-
tain Curtis Trondsen hopes
to keep playing the sport in
college.
"It really helped," Curtis says
appreciatively. In tact, he says,
he's always been good at math and
has fun working on statistics. His
mother, Michele Trondsen, runs a
craft business at home.
Curtis hopes to use his mathe-
matical abilities in a futureareer,
perhaps in a branch of the medical
field such as physical therapy or
optometry. He's not exactly sure
yet.
"IF I HAD to choose, I'd do
something in there," he says, not-
ing that a career in physical ther-
apy would provide him a way to
stay around athletics.
Whatever he ends up doing pro-
fessionally, Curtis already knows
he really wants to play basketball
in college and he would like to at-
tend a four-year college.
Washington State University
has ottred him a Regent Scholar-
ship worth $8,000 for two years.
Saint Martin's University has
given him an academic scholar-
ship tbr $10,000 a year. Because
he says many college basketball
teams want players even taller
than he is, he's looking for schools
where he might have the chance to
walk onto the team.
In the meantime, he earned
credit for his senior project by
helping to coordinate the Shel-
ton Parks and Recreation Youth
Basketball League. Working with
supervisor Mark Ziegler, he vol-
unteered as a referee and helped
to organize teams, schedules and
logistics.
Growing up, Curtis had played
in youth basketball programs in
Omak before moving to Shelton
several years ago. "It's kind of like
working with the future," Curtis
considers of giving back to a pro-
gram similar to the one he was in-
volved in as a child.
