Timberline defeats
Shelton girls' golf
Lady Highclimbers golf
at Alderbrooke today

Timberline defeated the Shelton girls' golf team
83-49 on March 22.
"We played at Indian Summer Golf Course, the
third toughest course in the state of Washington,"
Shelton head girls' golf coach Lorna Martinson said.
"The matches are scored using a stableford system,
which means a golfer earns points based on their
score for each hole."
Martinson said she thought the Lady Highclimb-
ors played great on such a difficult course.
"For some of them, they had never played nine
holes before," she said. "As far as improvement,
each girl will set their own goals because their golf
talent varies from person to person."
Martinson said she is happy with the camarade-
rie the team has this season.
"I feel we will get stronger as a team because of
this," she said.
The team's next match is at 3:15 p.m. today at
Alderbrook Golf Course in Union against Capital.
"I believe we can only control what we do on the
course so all I want to see is steady improvement,
hoping to score more points as a team each time
out." Martinson said. "We will have individual out-
standing performances along the way as a result
of each girl committing to their personal goal to
improve in an area. That is how we will build and
improve."

Frost had another good com-
petition at Raymond
last Thursday," Mary M.
Knight head track coach Kitty Brehmeyer
said. "It was an extremely wet, cold and
windy afternoon. It was hard for them to
stay warm and be ready to compete."
Despite those conditions, Brehmeyer
said the Owls competed fairly well.

fourth in the high jump," she said.

season progresses," she said.
The team is set to compete at 3:30 p.m.

Bend.
