The 3A Narrows League Swimming Champion- ships begin at 5 p.m. tomorrow at Mt. Ta- homa. A change in the Shelton girls' swimming schedule during the weekend of Oct. 6 and 7 sprang an unexpected meet on the Lady Highclimbers last week. The team was originally scheduled to swim at home against Foss on Oct. 11. How- ever, the weekend change moved the meet to Oct. 9 and the team didn't know until Oct. 8. This change canceled the team's meet at Gig Harbor, which was scheduled for Oct. 10. By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com Nearly every Shelton cross coun- try runner improved his or her time on the Highclimbers' home course last week. All but two of the girls and two Of the boys ran the Lake Isabella State Park course on Oct. 10 with a faster time than the team did last month. "We had a great meet, in terms of the runners improving their times from the first time they ran on our home course," head coach Daryl White said. "Our course is one of the tougher ones in perhaps the entire state. It is not one that anyone will ever get a personal record on. It is a course that is run just to place and the watch can be thrown out." Junior Cody Williamson won the boys' 5,000-meter race with a time of 17 minutes, 27.39 seconds, less than one second slower than he ran the course on Sept. 19. Senior Zach Taylor improved his time by 17 seconds, taking sixth place at 18:20.83. Sophomore Dari- us Burke finished six seconds faster, this time in 13th place at 19:10.76. Nearly one minute faster, junior Ry- der Phelan took 14th place with a time of 19:15.17. Rounding out the varsity boys' team was junior Adam Tweed in 15th place with a time of 19:16.75, down from 20:27.84. On the girls' side, the top two Shelton finishers swapped places. On Sept. 19, freshman Lindsey Goldsby finished in sixth place with a time of 25:29.14 and fresh- man Courtney Burke took seventh place with a time of 25:36.14. For this second race at Lake Isabella, Burke came in sixth with a time of 23:22.09 while Goldsby took sev- enth at 23:35.81. Junior Carley Kunkle was the next Lady Highclimber to cross the finish line with a time of 25:23.70, good enough for 16th place and an improvement of nearly two rain- utes. Sophomore Delaney Atkinson finished in 19th place with a time of 25:34.41, down from 27:18.57. Rounding out the girls' varsity team was junior Serena Ranney with a time of 25:42.95, improved from 27:32.61. White said the runners' perfor- mance showed him that they were ready for the 3A Narrows League meet, which was yesterday at Ft. Steilacoom State Park in Lake- wood. "I was very pleased with every- one's performances ... and as I said earlier, the teams are ready for post season," White said. The next challenge for the team Courtesy of Daryl White Shelton cross country runners junior Cody Williamson, left, and senior Zach Taylor run together Oct. 10 during the Highclimbers' home meet at Lake Isabella State Park. is the Westside Classic at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 27 at American Lake Golf Course in American Lake. "The top four teams and top 20 individuals go to the Westside Clas- sic and I am confident both teams will qualify as a team," White said.
