The Shelton baseball team earned its
first victory of the season last week after
enduring a tough loss.
On Friday, Gig Harbor defeated the
Highclimbers (1-11) 18-0.
Junior Jared Welander started the game
on the mound but senior David Gorman
pitched the final four innings.
"We had some very inopportune errors
and we just never hit the ball," Gorman
said. "We started off bad and let it get to us
,instead of putting it behind us and playing
the game."
Statistics from this game were not avail-
able.
The Highclimbers rebounded from the
shutout loss to defeat Wilson 7-2 at home
on Saturday.
"We had a chat after the Gig Harbor
game and came into the Wilson game fo-
cused and not thinking about Gig Harbor,"
Gorman said.
Senior Patrick Fabrizio pitched all sev-
en innings against Wilson and notched six
strikeouts, two walks and
gave up one earned run.
"Pat did a great job
on the mound," said SHS
pitching coach Trevor Ca-
hoon. "He was able to pitch
his way out of tight spots."
SATURDAY: Cahoon said Curtis

TOMORROW: the Highclimbers some
Shelton vs. timely hits.
Timberline, "Defensively, we didn't
4 p.m. hurt ourselves," he said.
"We didn't make any major
errors and that's what's hurt us in the past."
Cahoon said the team definitely had a
higher confidence level on the field against
Wilson.
"Hopefully with warmer weather we'll be
able to get out here and take some hacks
but we have to be able to hit against quality
pitching," Cahoon said.
The Highclimbers are scheduled to play
at 4 p.m. tomorrow at home against Tim-
berline and at 4 p.m. on Monday at home
against Mt. Tahoma.

The Shelton track and field teams per-
formed well at home last week.
On April 11. the Highclimbers hosted
Olympia and Capital in a home meet at
which the SHS boys' team took second
place with 46 points and the girls' team
took third place with 39 points•
"The meet went fairly well for most
of the team on Wednesday," said Doug
Sells. STIS head track and field coach.
"The kids are really starting to settle into
the events they are good at, so I am see-
ing a lot of personal bests happen as each
meet goes by. I would say over half the
team set personal records in at least one
event atthe meet. This is great. You can
really see the effort coming from a lot of
these kids."
Sells marked two persona] records as
noteworthy.
"Indi Endicott set an outstanding PR in
the 300 hurdles with a time of 41.70 sec-
onds," Sells said. "This ranks him as the
mnth fastest 300 hurdler that Shelton has
ever had. This is exciting to see because I
have the school record in this event and
[ndi's dad. Rob Endicott. has the second
fastest time ever. I'm really excited to see
just how fast Indi runs this year•"
The other personal record Sells high-
lighted was that of the girls' 800-meter
relay team. The ~eam Natalie An-
drewski. Madisen Striplin. Niko Zorn
and Kandyce Bragg -- ran the event with
a time of 1:51.98, which ranked them as
the No. 2 800-meter relay team in the 4A
Narrows League.
"I'm excited about the remainder of
the season." ,Sells said. '%Ve will finally be
kicking off our invitational schedule on
Friday with the Mountain Invitational.
The team will be smaller and more re-
fined for the invitationals. We only take
our top two in each event."
The Mountain Invitational starts at
3:30 p.m. tomorrow at Yelm High School.
"Now is the time of year when you re-
ally start to see the kids excel." Sells said.

SHS bailer anticipates graduation
By EMILY HANSON

If there's just one thing
Shelton senior Curtis
Wuestner is looking forward
to, it's graduation.
"I want to go to a school
in Indiana." Wuestner said.
"(Going out of state) you get
away from the attitudes in
Shelton. Everybody treats
you nicer (in Indiana) and
people don't pick on you."
Wuestner took a five-day
trip to Wabash College in
Crawfordsville, Ind., recent-
ly and that's when he real-
ized how much he enjoyed
being out of Shelton and in
Indiana.
In his final year of high
school. Wuestner~-- a third-
baseman for the Highclimb-
ers - is working hard to
ensure he'll get a college
education.
/~ "I'm
taking
pre-cal-
culus,
chemistry,

erature.

Curtis t i o n s .
Wuestner S p a n i s h
and I took
myths and
legends last semesterf he
said. "One thing colleges
have liked from my applica-
tions is the courses I'm tak-
ing."
Wuestner has main-
tained a 3.5 GPA, been
on the honor roll since his
sophomore year and is a
member of the honor soci-
ety. His hard work has paid
off so far,
"I've been accepted to all
the junior colleges and com-
munity colleges I've applied
to," he said.
His No. 1 choice is still
Wabash College but he said
his application has been de-
ferred for the time being.
"I'll probably go to a com-
munity college like Lower
Columbia or Wenatchee
Valley," Wuestner said. "I
wanted to get a degree in
engineering but I think my
freshman and sophomore
years I'll take variety of
classes to see what l like
and what I'm good at."
Though Wuestner origi-
nally thought he wanted to
become an architect, he is
now also considering going
into agriculture.
"I w.ork on two farms and
at a landscaping firm. I like
~o work outside." he said.
One goal Wuestner has
had for several years is
