Fifth row: Katie McEIliott, Ashley Got- tula, Tiffany Bryden and Rachel Hunt. Back: Margie Ahrens, Jordan Gorsch, Whitney Travis, Katie Platt and Jayni McGhee. Not pictured are Laura Bob, Lisa McGrew, Sun-Young Kwon and Kalina Jazuk. The Climber Chlorinettes: Hey, are these girls on something or WHAT!? By STEVE PATCH It's not because the thermo- stat's outta whack or there's too much chlorine. "No, but you can just kinda feel it in turnout," says Rob Phelan, visibly impressed. What the Climbers' veteran swim coach is talking about, of course, as his girls' 1999 season gets under way this week, is simply energy. "Yeah, a lot of excitement in comparison to last year and things like that," says Coach. "It's a small group of experienced kids and a whole lot of young new kids, but they have a lot of energy and they're friendly and willing to try things. "It's awesome. This is fun." RETURNEES include seniors Lisa McGrew, Amanda Peters and Laura Bob, juniors Jonelle Kasperski, Samantha McDowell, Rebecca Speigle, Sun-Young Kwon, Marie Keyzers and Megan Powers and sophomores Lindsay Tozier, Hayley Travis, Kalina Jazuk and Mandy Crossen. Newcomers include Swiss ex- change student Katrin Ebersold, senior Autumn Hart, junior Jen- nifer Hunt and ninth-graders Hattie Wallace, Melissa Kasper- ski, Ashley Gottula, Tiffany Bry- den, Rachel Hunt, Heather Mc- Ghee, Katie McElliott, Kristina Saeger, Whitney Travis, Jordan Gorsch, Katie Platt and Margie Ahrens. "We have a trio in Jonelle, Samantha and Rebecca that's kinda taking things under their own wings," says Phelan, refer- ring to his top district performers from a year ago. "All three of them are extremely smart indi- viduals and know that they have to get things done. And all three of them are very athletic." MORE QUICK TAKES by the coach: On Jonelle: "Very spunky. Very strong and determined - and a smart young lady. She's getting to be a good swimmer. She has learned how to work- and work hard. And the kids respect her, definitely." On Keyzers: "Made some great al. Very athletic. And is really energetic about things - about learning and trying things. She's gonna be an outstanding swimmer." On Gottula: "She's got (age- group) Sharks experience. Knows all four strokes. And she is gonna be relied upon heavily." 'No, but you can just kinda FEEL it in turnout.' drops in the 100 back and the 100 breaststroke last year. She's really improved. Real tall girl. She's gonna really help us out." On Powers: "Very hard worker. She kinda keeps things goin' in workouts because of her hard- work attitude." On Speigle: "Third-year swim- mer. District placer in the breast- stroke last year. Developed the butterfly - a good butterfly - and has really kinda rounded out her strokes in the backstroke and the freestyle, and so the IM's gonna come along this year." On Tozier: "A major contribu- tor last year as a freshman. This year she's gonna have to really step it up and fill in a lot of holes." On Hayley Travis: "She's a real gutsy swimmer, willing to try anything." NINTH-GRADERS of note are numerous, adds Coach, and he ventures some specifics: On Bryden: "Very tall individu- On Melissa Kasperski: "Jonelle's sister. Has a little Sharks experience and knows all four strokes. And just like Jonelle is a real, real worker and is able to focus and get things done. She's gonna be relied upon too." ON RACHEL Hunt: "Jenni- fer's sister. Is working on diving. Rachel has improved tenfold since the beginning of the season. I think she's gonna be able to really help us out." On McElliott: "(Climber grad) Kendall's sister. A little Sharks experience. Is a very good free- styler, a very good swimmer. She's gonna be relied upon right from the start." On Wallace: "She's got a lot more Sharks experience than the other kids. Probably the most ex- perienced freshman coming in. And she's gonna dive and swim." On Gorsch: "(Climber grad) Tracy's sister. Jordan's just a nat- ural swimmer. It's just gonna take some time to learn all the "She is one fun person. She's gonna be kinda like 'The Energizer,' ya know." things about competitive swimming." Re Ahrens: "(Climber grad) Chris' sister. She is one fun per- son. She's got the greatest smile and energy! She's gonna be kinda like 'The Energizer,' ya know - to keep things goin'. And she's got a nice stroke." NEW TO the program as well this year is Phelan's right-hand man, assistant coach Chad Youngquist. Brand-new swim- ming-class instructor at the high school, Youngquist was a team- mate of Phelan's at Central Washington University a few years ago and since has coached there at Central and at Ellens- burg High School as well. He has a master's degree in physiology. "It's great; we've got an awe- some opportunity," says Phelan. "We both speak pretty much the same language and we both have the same goals. I think it's gonna work out real well." Team managers are Alex Keyzers and Ben Carlson, both SHS seniors. ALL IN ALL, says Phelan, this year's squad is most promis- ing indeed, and especially with its strong first-year contingent. "This whole freshman group is athletic," he intones. "Much more athletic than what we've had in the past. We really haven't had an athletic class since the juniors - you know, when these four came in here. "So we have an opportunity where, if we improve to where we should be, we should be able to be a good force in the league. "Particularly with our fresh- man class, maybe next year will be a real good year - a turning point for us." rook ladies yielded the in regular (ine Baillie, Marge Vi Sibley first (75) Aumend & June given).
