T R A C K Barber fi nishes in top-,00000 in 2A state girls golf tourney By DEAN SIEMON North Mason High School freshman Anela Barber was the lone Lady Bulldog at the 2A Girls Golf Championships on May 24 and 25 at Lake Spanaway Golf Course in Spanaway. Barber finished tied for 33rd place with Sequim High School's Kim Duce with a two-day total of 189. Barber finished the first day of competition tied for 39th place with a round of 95. She was tied with Sequim's Duce, Fife High School's Kayla Wil- iams and Cedarcrest High School's Samantha Dunn. The top-40 golfers in the first day moved on to golf another round, where "My goal now is for her to play higher up the ladder next Barber finished with 94 for the 189 total. North Mason coach Martha Music said she is proud of Barber, as both were excited to be at state. "My goal now is for her to play higher up the lad- der next year," Music said. The individual 2A state championship went to Pullman High School's Paige Whidbee, who had rounds of 72 and 77 for a 149 total. The second place golf- er was Steilacoom High School's Cherokee Kim (72-82-154), followed by Burlington-Edison High School's Lauren Atkinson (74-81-155). While facing tough competition, Music said Barber was mentally fo- cused throughout both rounds of golf. "[Barber] would have some really tough holes and grind back into her pace," Music said. "She didn't let anybody intimi- date her." Music said that Bar- ber's short game will be a focus of improvement in the offseason. "Chipping on and get- ting it close for an easy putt or an easy two-putt," Music said. Young Owls ,;1:and out at 1B track charnpmnshlps By DEAN SIEMON Mary M. Knight High School sent five girls to the 1B WIAA Track and Field Championships on Saturday at Eastern Washington Uni- versity in Cheney. The Lady Owls finished in a tie for 17th place out of 29 schools represented with 15 team points. Freshman Hannah Frost finished fourth place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:40.61. Her new personal best time by four seconds was not enough for the win. Valerie Vogt of Trout Lake/Glenwood High School won with a time of 2:25.73. Frost also finished eighth in the discus with a throw of 90 feet and seven inches. She also helped in two relay races. The Lady Owls' 4x200 re- lay took sixth with a time of 2:14.86. The team also con- sisted of freshman Kiah Lof- gren, sophomore Kelsey Bee- be and senior Ashley Culver. The same four athletes also finished eighth in the 4x400 relay with a time of 5:32.82. Beebe also competed in an individual event, taking eighth in the 300-meter hur- dles with a time of 1:06.36, 0.2 seconds from her season best time. Junior Linda Cook finished the season with a fifth-place throw in the shot put with 30 feet and four inches. The throw was three inches shorter than her season best last week at the 1B District IV Championships. Mary M. Knight head coach Kitty Brehmeyer was called for comment on the season, but could not respond by press time. : ::::: COMMENTARY Favorite varsity sports mome',l:s in Mason County It has been a fun two years report- ing on the lo- cal sports in Mason County and there have been some mo- ments from games that are memorable in their own Dean right. Fans can re- Siemon member when their team had a last minute buzzer beater or a touchdown on the final drive, possibly a bases loaded home runin the bottom of the ninth. As a sports fan, I love to see these moments live and being the sports reporter, there have been a few great moments to remember from these last two years. September 4, 2009 - Mount Tahoma High School at Shelton High School (football season opener) One of the first things I was told by the Journal staff before I was to start on this day was that Shelton football suffered a couple of bad seasons, including a 0-10 record in 2008. I sat in the highest row at High- climber Stadium after driving three straight days to make the move to Shelton. On the very first play from scrim- mage, running back Ryan Adams scored on an 80-yard touchdown One of the more impressive events I have attended was the WIAA Mat Classic wrestling tournament at the Tacoma Dome, where hundreds of grapplers from all of the classifica- tions compete. At the 2A level, North Mason had two individuals wrestling for cham- pionships - brothers Pedro and Zac Joaquin. The younger brother, Zac, won the 112-pound championship in a very close 11-9 win in overtime over Squalicum High School's Ren Bish- op. The match was back and forth to the point where I was quietly root- run en route to a 40-16 win for the ing r  •last minute edown to Highclimbers. ,' : ':' : ' -" " giveheBtdldogddwin Forget that they went winless the rest of that season, but for that night, Shelton fans were cheering. February 19, 2011 - 2A WIAA Mat Classic But then in the very next match, Pedro, a senior, lost in the ll9-pound title match to a familiar rival in North Kitsap High School's Jake Velarde. But b0b tg 49gqa llad §milw on their faces about competing at this level together. February 26, 2011 - Mary M. Knight High School vs. Taholah High School (1B Regionals at Timberline High School in Lac- ey) In 2010, Mary M. Knight girls basketball had a winless season, so the expectations were to improve game by game. But the Lady Owls earned a berth to the 1B WIAA Girls Basket- ball Tournament after winning two games at the regional round; includ- ing a win over Coastal League rival Taholah. Also considering that the WIAA allows 1B schools to bring eighth graders up to the high school level, and that the Lady Owls had a large number of middle school age play- ers, the team can only get better.

Hiking (or "trekking") poles are designed to help walkers get all four limbs involved as well as take stress off their legs. While ascents get the heart beating faster, descents are much harder on the hip and leg muscles. Walking downhill, in fact, exerts three to four times the com- pressive force on knees that they otherwise endure walking on level ground. The interest that walkers and hikers have in hiking poles is largely predicated on the findings of numerous biomechanical ex- periments that show that ,the poles can significantly reduce the forces that walking downhill place on the knees. They also reduce movement within the knees and hold walk- ers more upright, which increases walking stability and and fractures. Using two hiking poles effec- tively will also reduce fatigue, in- crease speed and provide excellent stability. Hiking poles increase the distance that can be traveled com- fortably in a day, and reduce stress on the legs, feet and back.
