With more than a 20-point margin
of difference each way, the Shelton
swim team split its matches last week.
On Tuesday, Dec. 6, the Highclimb-
ers lost at Wilson 112-73.
"Wilson has some state qualifiers
already with at least one kid who is a
top six in the state performer," Chad
Youngquist, co-head coach, said. "Wil-
son was state champion for 25 years in
a row, under a different coach, so they
have a very solid boys' program. They
have a water polo team, too, so they've
basically got two seasons in the pool."
Youngquist said that, even though
the Shelton team lost, the swimmers
performed very well.
"Our boys did great; they dropped
two to four seconds in the 50 [free-
style] consistently," he added. "As a
whole, they performed very, very well.
You wouldn't expect them to come
back two days later and do it again,
but they did."
On Thursday, Dec. 8, the High-
climbers defeated Timberline 104-82.
"We were evenly matched going in
~ and didn't know how
it was going to go,"
Youngquist said.
"But the guys really
improved a lot, just
in that week."
He said that Har-

Central Kitsap, trict qualifying time
3:30 p.m. in the backstroke
while many of the
swimmers set personal records in their
events.
"They're swimming hard,"
Youngquist said. "Many of them have
taken swimming classes, too, so they've
got an advantage over the girls' team.
The boys warm up for the season in
fall swim classes while the girls start
their season fresh off of summer."
The team's next meet is scheduled
for 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15 at
home against Central Kitsap High
School.
"CK has four guys
who could poten-
tially get first place
against all of our
guys," Youngquist
said. "They should
win more races and
if they strategically
place their guys,
they could win more.
Indi If we win, it'll be by
Endicott less than five points
and it'll be because of
strategy and depth."
He added that if the Highclimbers
lose, it could be by as much as 15 or
20 points.
"CK doesn't have a lot of depth but
they have fast guys," Youngquist stat-
ed. "When they're swimming fast, they
should beat us so I'm kind of counting
on our pool to help us."
He said that if the Highclimbers
can defeated Central Kitsap, the vic-
tory could determine the team's over-
all win-loss record for the season. The
team will face the majority of its re-
ally touh competition after winter
break.
