Highclimbers' track returns five WIAA state athletes for 2011 season By DEAN SIEMON Shelton High School track and field brings back five athletes from last sea- son's 4A WIAA Track and Field championships. This year, head coach Doug Sells said he has nev- er been more excited with the program's turnout of 80 athletes. "We have a talented bunch of kids this year with a lot of newcomers," Sells said. "We have a dedicat- ed coaching staff that will make this year even better." Senior Ryan Adams is ranked third in Shelton's all-time personal best times in the 100 meters (11.16 sec- onds) and 200 meters (22.51 seconds). Adams finished fifth in the 100 meters at last sea- son's state championships. "He has a very good chance of breaking the long- standing school record in the 100 [meters]," Sells said. The all-time record at Shelton for boys 100 meters is 11 seconds by Scott Craig in 1985. Sells said Adams, who ran the anchor leg on the Highclimbers' 4x400 me- ter relay with a split time of 49.1 seconds, could run in the 400 meter dash this season. The Shelton coach said Adams could be within reach of the record set by Alex McClary in 2004 (49.16 seconds) - McClary contin- ued to run the Universities of California and Arkansas. "That time (49.1 seconds) indicates that, should [Ad- ams] choose to contest the 400 meter dash, he could be one of the state's very best," Sells said. The top girls state athlete is senior Brenna'Thompson, who ran in the girls 400 me- ters and finished third and the top returning placer. Sells said while there is a couple runners with supe- rior times entering the sea- son, Thompson has a proven "superior competitive abil- ity" that should level the field. "Our excellent school record in the 400 meter dash [56.17 seconds by Ra- chel Kaercher, 2004] may be within Brenna's reach," Sells said. Senior Jon Ownby re- turns in the javelin throw. He competed at last sea- son's state meet, but missed finishing in the top eight. Sells said that Ownby be- gan to struggle at the end, with throwing mechanics playing a role in the prob- lem. But Sells said Ownby at- tended a throwers' camp earlier this month with Duncan Atwood, a two-time Olympian in the javelin throw. "I expect Jon's technical problems to be solved this year, giving him an excel- lent chance to retun to the state championship meet," Sells said. Senior Tre Fisher was one of Shelton's top high jumpers in addition to be- ing one of Shelton's return- ing sprinters. He competed at state last season and has set a goal of six-foot-four for the season. "Tre is a fine athlete and is certainly capable of jump- ing six-foot-four," Sells said. "Should he do so, he will qualify for the state champi- onship meet." Shelton also gained a state caliber athlete with the transfer of senior Annie Fitchett, who was a student at Principia High School in Missouri the last three years. Fitchett cleared nine and a half feet in the pole .vault last season. Sells said she has the potential to earn a state medal. "Should she jump 10 feet or better this season, she will more than likely be the best girl vaulter in the 4A Narrows League," Sells said. Non-state athletes that are key returners include junior Cody Tarver (shot put), junior Bryton Rodgers (pole vault), junior Indi En- dicott (hurdles), junior Ro- man Hurst (triple jump) and senior Alaura Jones (discus, shot put). Returning Shelton golfers aim for winning season By DEAN SIEMON Shelton High School's girls golf team finished the 2010 season with a 4-5 match play record in the 4A Narrows League. This season, head coach Lorna Martinson is hopeful for the Lady Highclimbers to finish in the top half of the league standings. "I think if we can fin- ish with a winning record, that'll be a good season," Martinson said. Shelton returns three golfers from last season, including senior Jessica Lanman, who Martinson said is excited to be a team leader. "[Lanman] wants to be the team leader and she wants to create an iden- tity for us and she works so hard," Martinson said. "I think she's going to be a great leader." Martinson also noted that Lanman has also brought her optimistic view in addition to her im- proved swing mechanics. "She has such a positive attitude that it's conta- gious," Martinson said. The Shelton coach also noted two returning ju- niors in Caitlyn Ernst and Lindsey Norton. Martinson said the goals for Ernst this season, who the coach said had "a lot of natural ability," is her swing control. "[Ernst] hits it a long ways but it might go straight, it might go left or it might go right," she said. Martinson said that Nor- ton returns more athletic than last season, especially in her swing. "Just the athleticism of her golf swing is remark- able," Martinson said. "She took aerobics last year and those skills transferred to golf." The other three Shelton THE girls golfers are newcomers to the program, including Audra Cation, who lives with her family near the Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club in Union. "[Cation] comes from a golfing family but she nev- er played before," the Shel- ton coach said. "She has the resources to really work on her game and improve."
