The Tornadoes out- scored Shelton in the first quarter by one point. Yetm's Kyle Brownell scored on a 65-yard touchdown and Vernon Parker scored the PAT for a 7-point lead with 11:34 minutes left in the first quarter. Shelton responded im- mediately.

The two- point conversion pass from senior quarterback Jared Welander to senior tight end David Ajamu fell in- complete. At half time, Shelton was ahead 18-7. In the third quarter, the Highclimbers again kept Yelm off the scoreboard while Kinne lit it up for the fourth time. With 8:58 left in the third quarter, Kinne scored on a 3-yard run.

Goldsby won the event with a personal best time of 6 minutes, 52.5 seconds. By EMILY HANSON en~it!z@m asoncounty.com The Shelton girls' swim team dominated every event in its first home meet of the season last week. On Sept. 20, the Lady Climbers defeated Lincoln 140-42. Shelton swimmers won every event and took second place in all but two events. "Lincoln got two sec- ond places, so there really wasn't much to motivate our girls other than them- selves," co-head coach Chad Youngquist said. Though times are dif- ficult to judge in the Shel- ton pool due to the lack of starting blocks, several Lady Climbers achieved personal records (PR) in their events. Alaina Hanner took sec- ond place in the 200- yard free- style with SEPT. 20: a PR time Shelton ...... 140 of 2 min- Lincoln ........ 42 utes, 40.6 seconds.

Goldsby finished first for the Shelton varsity girls' team with a time of 25 minutes, 29.14 seconds and an overall sixth-place finish. By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com The course went uphill, downhill, through a tunnel, through shade, under the hot sun and down straight-aways for 5,000 meters. On Sept. 19, the Sheldon cross country team hosted its first home meet of the sea- son at Lake Isabella State Park. In the four races during the meet, Shelton won three. "The teams did a nice job on our very tough course, but I am hoping for improved marks there in two weeks," head coach Da- ryl White said. The meet began with the varsity girls' race, which was the only one Shelton did not win: Freshman Lindsey Gotdsby was the top Shelton finisher with a time of 25-minutes, 29.14-seconds and a sixth-place finish. "I feel pretty good," Goldsby said. "It was a tough course with a lot of uphill." Goldsby was closely followed by team- mate freshman Courtney Burke throughout "I said, 'i'm sure it can't be that bad,'... ! know nOW." She said the Lake Isabella course was easy compared to some. but since it was the second 5K she'd ever race, she didn't know how to judge the course ye~. "I'm pretty happy with a sixth-place be- cause I'm a freshman against older run- ners," Goldsby said. The junior varsity boys and girls then hit the course together. Their results were separated into two races and Shelton won both. Senior Jonathan Andrewski won the boys' JV race with a time of 21:18.10 while senior Bonnie Casper won the girls' JV race with a time of 28:15.08. Finally, Shelton junior Cody Wittiamson won the varsity boys' race with a dominant "There were so many hills," he said. "It's up and down. You get a nice flat section and before you know it. you're uphill again." He said he didn't think the course would be as slow as it did, despite assistant coach John Johnson warning the Climbers it would be. Williamson said Johnson ran the course the day before the race and told the team to expect a slower course. "I said, 'I'm sure it can't be that bad,'" Williamson said. "I know now. It reminds me of state, though." He said the only other course he's run on with so much variety was the state cross country course on the Sun Williows Golf Course in Pasco. "The variety of this course is awesome," Williamson said. He said that now that he knows the course, he's sure he'll be more competitive on it the next time the Climbers run it. On Saturday, the Highclimbers traveled ,to Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah for the Bellevue High Invitational. Williamson finished the 5,000-meter the entire course. Burke finished in seventh- time of 17:26.68. He finished one minute course fastest for the boys with a time of place with a time of 25:36.14. Goldsby said ahead of the second-place finisher, North • 16"07.04, good for fifth place.
