Baker sweep saves Wolves

Sequim’s bowlers have figured out how to win in the clutch.

After splitting a pair of regular games with Peninsula Jan. 8, Sequim High’s bowlers swept a pair of Baker-format games to edge the Seahawks 5-2 and stay in the hunt for third place in the Olympic League.

Samantha Whiteside led Sequim with a 299-pin series while Kim Duce knocked down 254 pins and Breanna Krumpe had a 238-point series.

The Wolves (4-6) took the first game 651-596 and dropped game two 610-585. Sequim came back to win the Baker games 158-129 and 155-121. They won the total pin count as well, 1,549 to 1,456.

Sequim was scheduled to take on Klahowya in Silverdale Jan. 13 – results were not available at press time.

The Wolves play at North Mason Jan. 15 and host Olympic Jan. 22.

The competition is open to the public.

Teams of four compete by swimming a 200-yard relay (eight pool lengths); each member swims 50 yards, two lengths of the pool. Starts and transitions happen in the water rather than off starting blocks. Some heats may be assigned a gimmick.

Heat winners win bragging rights and all teams receive a tile at the pool in their team’s honor.

Cost to compete is $100 per team of four; admission to watch the event is by donation.

Funds raised go toward helping keep the William Shore Memorial Pool open.
