By EMILY HANSON ernily@masoncounty,com The difference in scores between the Shelton girls' swimming team and Wilson last week can be attributed to at least one thing: attitude. On Oct. 4, Shelton outswam Wilson 101- 85. "They should've beat us but they swam poorly and we swam well," co-head coach Chad Youngquist said. "The Wilson coach asked if we ever get best times in our pool and we got several while they got none. It's the only time I really like our pool." He said Wilson's fastest swimmers saw the Shelton pool without any starting blocks and thought they wouldn't get any best times or qualify for the 3A Narrows League tournament or the West Central District III tournament. "That handicapped them," Youngquist said. "It's almost impossible to not think that." He said the Shelton swimmers know when their opponents come in that they'll get a bad attitude, so the Lady Climbers use that advantage. "Very few girls weren't right at their best," Youngquist said. Shelton earned best times with seven swimmers. Sarah Myers qualified .for the district tournament in the 200-yard freestyle with a best time of 2 minutes, 9.19 seconds. She took second place in the event, 0.11 seconds behind the first-place Wilson swimmer. My- ers also qualified for districts in the 100- yard freestyle, though her time of 1:00.93 was not a best time. Julia Morris earned a best time in the ~ 200-yard freestyle at 2:35.33, which was fast enough for fourth place. In the 200-yard in- dividual medley, Me- gan Jacobsen, in fourth place, earned a best time OCT. 4-" of 2:56.25.

Journal ohoto by Emily nansor Shelton junior setter Cheyenne Overlin passes the ball up on a set on Oct. 2 during the Lady Highclimbers' home match against North Thurston. Volleyball Continued from page C-4 Beck said the second game was the best of the match. "Any time you win a game in overtime, it is fun and a good sign of maturity, so the second game's 26-24 win was good for us, considering we were down 24-22 and came back to win," he said. "A stuff block at 24-24 by Overlin was big." On Saturday, the Lady Highclimbers competed at the Bearcat Varsity Invite in Mon- roe. In the 12-team tournament, Shelton took second in its pool, though by points, it was a three- way tie for first with Kent-Mer- idean, Garfield and Shelton. "We got beat soundly by Meadowdale in the first round of tournament play and then let our final match against Ingle- moor get away from us in the third game," Beck said. "We out-played them most of the match." Shelton placed seventh out of 12 teams. "I think we surprised most teams with our consistency, ball control and defense," Beck said. "It was a great day for us." The strength of the Lady Highclimbers (5-5) remains in its passing ability, Beck said. "We have to have strong ball control as we are shorter than most teams and lack a big domi- nant hitter or solid blocker," he said. Beck said he is seeing contin- ued development of the team's middle attack with O'Connor, Lugalia and sophomore right- side hitter Heather Johnson blocking. The Lady Highclimbers are scheduled to play next at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday at home against Timberline.
