The Shelton tlighclimber girls
track team established itself as
one of the premier squads in
Black Hills League competition
Friday night with a 69-45 dual
meet win over the strong Olympia
Bear contingent.
Some pre-season polls picked
the Bear girls to win it all. But it
was not to be Friday night as
Coach Judy Kecley's hustling
squad racked up three school
records enroute to its second
consecutive BHL win of'75.
Connie Tuson, everybody's

Aria and Neva, are consistent
second or third place finishers in
the shotput.
The same is true with the
discus pair of Karen Martin and
Shannon Robinson. They are
busy picking up the all-important
two or three point finishes.
Or how about Sheryi
Edmison? Always close in the
440 she is a big part of the
fast-improving mile relay tearn.
"With this kind of work and
cooperation," states Keeley, "we
look forward to every meet.
These girls want to improve."

Four hundred freezing,
highly-vocal fans watched Sheiton
High School's track team trounce
Olympia 96-49 Friday night in
Highclimber Stadium.
Most will agree that 350 of
these fans left the stadium
confused. The Johnson twins,
Dan and Dave, are the heart of
confusion again. With both of
them competing in mile and
two-mile run, you could not
separate them with a razor blade.
Both were clocked in identical
3:37.4 for the mile and 10:21.2
for eight laps. You simply cannot
tell them apart on the track and
dead heats do not help any.
They do create excitement, to
say the least. Blessed with
sprinters' speed, they will turn the
crowd on when they head for the
tape. When asked if they will be
beaten this year they both
answer, naturally, "If someone
does, doggone, they will have to
run to do it."
The Johnson boys were not
the only excitement created by
Bill Brickert's forces. The
440-yard relay team of Paul
James, Paul Mortensen, Gary
Nelson and Marty Settle set a
school record (three records have
been broken in two meets this
year) of 44.8. It is the quickest
time of the year for all of
Washington's AA schools and the
second fastest for all schools.
Jeff Pill, in a manner that is
becoming repetitious, broke his
own school record for the second
week in a row, this time with a
heave of 56'11½" in the shotput.
Marry Settle set a personal
best and qualified for the Shelton
Invitational April 26 and 27 with
a 22.8 jaunt in the 220. Right
behind Settle, much to Brickert's
liking, was Gary Nelson, timed in
23.4. According to Brickert,
Nelson is ready to put the heat on
someone.
Bill Blue, Olympia's fine
middle distance runner and
reportedly one of the better
competitors in BHL circles,
hooked up with Davey Johnson in
the 880-yard run. More
excitement was coming.

Joe Shaub, the newly-found
hurdler, skimmed the highs in

Brr~kert is also pleased with
the progress his mile relay team is
making. Timed in 3:39.6 two
weeks ago, it knocked off a full
eight seconds against Olympia,
breezing home in 3:31.6.
Although it's too early to tell,
track fans may be watching
another AA state champion in the
making. The Highclimbers rank
right on top in the eyes of
Washington Track and Field
News.
In typical Brickert
philosophy, the 21-year coaching
veteran replies, "i'm glad they
feel we're number one, but wc
have to work to stay there."
The next home meet is the
always-tough Shelton hwitational
April 26 and 27. That is the
highlight of Shelton's track
season.
MIKE BAZE cleared a third place in the high jump behind Shultz of
Olympia, who took first with 6'2"
