I I I By EMILY HANSON 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- THURSDAY: rison - who quali- Shelton ...... 104 fled for districts in Timberline.. 82 the backstroke dur- ing the team's first TOMORROW: meet of the season - Shelton vs. improved on his dis- 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.
