Five Shelton swimmers and two divers
advance to districts this weekend
By EMILY HANSON
Ten Shelton swimmers competed at the
league meet last week. Seven are contifiu-
ing on to districts this weekend.
"Head-to-head, we did well, but when
the other teams could use their depths,
they beat us," Chad oYoungquist, co-head
coach, said. "We improved a lot, though."
Youngquist said that
at the Narrows League Hannah
Championships, held on Garcia
Thursday, Oct. 20 and
Friday, Oct. 21, teams
were allowed to enter up
to four swimmers in each

SHS took sixth place
with 120 points out of
seven schools at league and Youngquist
that the top five schools - Gig Harbor, Sta-
dium, Central Kitsap, Olympia and South
Kitsap - have teams which are so heavily
populated that their numbers are between
almost double and triple the numbers of
the SHS team.
Youngquist said that the top six swim-
mers in each event at districts will advance
to state and that, traditionally, one-third
to half of the top 16 swimmers in the state

come from this district.
"We will go faster at
districts," Youngquist
said. "We're a small team,
so from a team points
standpoint, we'll have
an even harder time,
though."
The Lady High-
climbers who competed
at league are: Carisa
Kunkle, Mishawn Ewart,
Sarah Myers, Hannah
Garcia, Sara Minighin,
Emma Pridmore, Paige Roberts, Paige
Goldsby, Hannah Womer and Jordan Cros-

Goldsby, Womer and
Crossan are alternates
for the relay team at dis-
tricts, but Youngquist
said they are unlikely to
compete.
