GBB youth camp @ NWMS

The OHHS Girls Basketball team held their annual 3-day camp for young girls, this year at North Whidbey Middle School due to the construction at the high school.

Coach McLeod had a lot of his JV and Varsity players helping out, and the girls, both campers and players, seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Track 5-15 - WESCO League championships

The 2009 WESCO North track championships were held at OHHS on Wednesday and Friday, May 13^th and 15^th.

Friday saw finals in all the sprint races, along with a number of other events. When all was said and done, only one Wildcat was crowned league champion.

Junior Shantae Young won the 100m dash in convincing fashion, beating her opponent by over a tenth of a second. It was somewhat of an unusual race in that only 2 of the 8 runners were seniors. There were two sophomores and even a freshman in the race. Shantae’s time of 12.79 was a new personal best for her. She was equally dominant in the triple jump where she leaped 36-2.5, over a foot further than her nearest competitor. Shantae also finished 2^nd in the long jump.

For the boys, the top competitor was Stephen Lewis. He was fighting off some illness and finished 2^nd in the 100m and 3^rd in the 200, but will be moving on to the district meet.

Other top 3 finishers were:

Greg Goebel – triple jump – 3rd

Adrianna Royal – 800m – 2^nd

Allison Duvenez – 300m hurdles – 2^nd

Girls 4x100 relay – 3^rd

Complete results can be found HERE.

Just 15 photos, mostly of pole vault and high jump, are posted HERE.

Softball 5-14 vs Arlington

It was a nice, sunny day for the final softball game of the 2009 season at Hillcrest Elementary School in Oak Harbor, where the Wildcats faced off against the Arlington Eagles.

It was not a happy day in the JV dugout, as both Coach Show and Coach Roy will not be back next year. Show is retiring from the Navy and returning to Florida, and Coach Roy will be going to North Carolina.

Pitcher Emily Hunt pitched all 7 innings, recording 10 strikeouts. Kasie Brown was 2-4 at the plate with a double and 2 RBIs, but it wasn't enough as the Eagles won 6-4.

After his last game, coach Showalter said "I really expect the JV team of 2009 to compete for a lot of open spots on varsity next year". He also expects the team to finish in the upper half of WESCO next year. In closing, he wanted to say "thanks for all your support".

Before the varsity game, each of the 5 seniors were introduced along with their parents. Leaving the team are seniors Kim Mowbray, Kayla Ratliff, Lauren Miller, Kendra Wallace and Kaylee Meders. Coach Weikle said that the team "is going to miss their leadership".

Arlington won the game 7-1. Relief pitcher Whitney Osborn struck out 4 batters over 4 innings and held the Eagles to 2 runs during that time, but the Wildcats left 5 players stranded on base.

Sisters Kim and Nikki Mowbray were both 2-3 at the plate with Kim scoring the only run.

Photos of the game and senior ceremonies are posted HERE.

Track 5-13 - League meet prelims

Talk about nasty weather! It was cold, windy and rainy Wednesday afternoon for the 1st day of the WESCO North league meet at Oak Harbor High School. The weather was so bad that the pole vault competition was canceled for the day.

Not all events were held, as some were finals only and will be held on Friday.

Even with the poor weather, there were still some good performances.

Stephen Lewis was the only Wildcat to win an event in a tie. Lake Steven's Tyler Reside had an identical time, but Lewis is listed as first place. Stephen finished 2nd in the 100m dash by just .07 second, and coming from behind in the 4x100 relay, almost pulled out the victory, missing by one one hundredth of a second!

For the girls, Shantae Young finished 2nd in the 100 and long jump and Allison Duvenez finished 2nd in the 300m hurdles.

Addy Royal won her 800m heat and finished 3rd overall.

Other top-10 finishers:
100m - Josiah Miller - 8th
200m - Janessa Ramos
800m - Josh Duhrkopf - 5th, Cody Klauer - 10th, Claire Trepanier - 9th
1600m - Duhrkopf - 10th
100m hurdles - Duvenez - 9th
4x100 Relay - Girls 6th
4x200 Relay - Girls 7th
4x400m Relay - Boys 5th, Girls 7th
High Jump - Dejon Pruitt - 10th

Girls Tennis 5-13 - WESCO North meet - update 5-16

At Arlington High School, the top 6 OHHS players were all in action. In this tournament, if you lost in the first round, you were eliminated.

Jen Jansen faced off against Cascade's Jessica Willmorth and won the first set 6-3. Jen lost the 2nd set 5-7, and in the 3rd couldn't get things going and fell 1-6.

#2 Erin Neilon beat Snohomish's #2 7-5, 6-0.

The #1 doubles team of Molly Deleon and Cady O'Dell lost their first set 3-6 and were up 3-1 in the 2nd when the match was called on account of rain.

On Day 2, (Thursday) Erin faced off against a REALLY good (like almost pro level!) exchange student from Germany (Antonia Liebenow) and fell 6-0, 6-2.

Deleon and O'Dell could not pull off the win, and the #2 doubles team of Laurin Rico and Valerie Loder lost their first match and were eliminated.

In Erin's 2nd match of the day she was in the consolation round, facing Marina Messerli of Stanwood. Erin dominated the match, winning 6-2, 6-0.

Erin went back on Friday, still fighting for a spot in the district tournament. Her first match was against the Snohomish #1 Natalie Kaltbrunner. Erin says "It was a tough match, but I won 7-6(12), 2-6, 7-5."

Having won her first match of the day, Erin went to play Cascade's Jessica Wilmorth for a 3rd place spot, but Wilmorth was too much for her and Erin finished the tournament in the #4 spot.

She'll play next on Wednesday at Jackson High School at 1pm, facing off against the WESCO South #1 singles player Eliane Baik of Kamiak.

The top 3 from the District tournament move on to State.

Boys Golf 5-13 - WESCO North championships

The boys golf team was at The Walter Hall Golf Course in Everett on a blustery and wet day for the league championships. As a team the boys finished in 6th place.

The top 3 OH golfers all finished within a stroke of each other. Phil Reedy scored a 79 while Judd Ford and Matt Fikse both had a 79. Brandon Kenworthy scored an 87 and Logan White 101.
