Coming off a WesCo district title, they hoped to earn a top 4 finish to come away with a trophy as a team. 

Behind Seniors Colton Stoecker, Ian Reece, Tristan Serrano and Kason Kirkpatrick, the Scots were just one spot away from the title as they finished 2nd as a team behind Bellevue and ahead of last year's champions, Lakeside.

The Scots managed to place top 8 in all 3 relays along with 9 individual top 8 finishes. The team's depth was a huge contributing factor to their 2nd place team finish.

Top finishers for Shorecrest were:

• Ian Reece - 8th in the 200 IM, 6th in the 100 BR
• Colton Stoecker - 4th in the 200 FR and 5th in the 500 FR

• Kason Kirkpatrick - 11th in the 50 FR and 5th in the 100 FL
• Zander Muilenburg - 6th in the 200 FR and 8th in the 500 FR.
• 200 Medley Relay (Danny Stephenson, Ian R, Kason K, Tristan S)- 3rd place finish
• 200 FR relay (Ian R, Tristan S, Zander M, Colton S) - 2nd place finish
• 400 FR relay (Kason K, Colton S, Ian Ha, Zander M) - 4th place finish

There were 4 team records broken in the process. 

• Ian Reece broke his own team record in the 200 IM and 100 BR swimming a 1:53.95 in the IM and a 58.95 in the BR. 
• The 200 FR Relay finished in a time of 1:26.89 bettering the previous mark of 1:27.94. 
• The 400 FR relay finished in a time of 3:11.04 bettering the previous mark of 3:14.52.

This weekend Shorewood had a fantastic weekend of competition at Snohomish Aquatic Center. 

Divers and Swimmers for SW put forth tremendous effort and mental focus to be their best as individuals and a team from Wednesday dive Prelims to Friday night swim Prelims to Saturday night Finals. 

Our District team put up many great performances and here are some highlights of District Finals.

On Saturday SW brought back the swimmers who made it to the top 16 in each event to compete at District Finals, and across the board SW stepped up and dropped time in the pool!

Pre-meet pep talk from Coach Jeremy Hunter
Photo courtesy Shoreline Schools

Just like all seasons, SW got out to a FAST start in the Medley Relay and put up a season best time of 1:57.77 behind great swims from all 4 legs - Allie Mae (29.63), Malaina Mirabueno (31.78!) Paulina Hoff (29.92) and a smoking anchor leg from Maggie Norberg (26.44!!) to take 3rd place! 

In the 200 free Vivian Foral had the best 200 Free of her LIFE to finish 8th place! In the 200 IM Addy Falkin did an excellent job listening to directions about dropping ANOTHER 4 seconds from her prelims time to go 2:35 and finish 13th! 

And SW had Senior power in the IM final heat with Paulina Hoff and Malaina finishing 6th and 5th overall with fantastic swims. 

Natalia Martin had a weekend of racing - all she did was drop time EVERY race with a B Final winning spring in the 50 Free of 27.48 (excellent breathing btw) 

AND in the A Final SW had a BIG flex with Allie Mae dropping a full second from her Prelims seed time to go 26.2 and finish 4th - and DAN had a NIGHT too, going a State qualifying time (and PR) of 24.43 to finish 2nd! 

Next up SW Divers represented on the board! Congrats to Libby Norton (11th), Bridget Hill (10th) and Abi Chishungu (7th) for their Finals finish! 

In the 100 Fly SW Senior Captain Maggie Norberg CRUSHED with a huge drop to go 1:05 and finish 6th overall! 

Next up was the 100 Free and SW was ready to cruise in the Freestyle.. starting with Natalia Martin dropping AGAIN to go a best time of 1:01.1 and finish 12th - boom - and then in the A Final SW got busy with Vivian Foral cruising to finish 7th and then Dan Buchholz destroyed the last 25 yards in his 100 Free, moving from 2nd place off the last wall to become YOUR DISTRICT CHAMPION with a State qualifying time of 53.18! 

Everyone could catch their breath after except for Paulina Hoff who had a fantastic 500 Free to drop under the 6 min mark and power her way to a thrilling finish in the B Final! 

Next up was 200 Free Relay racing and it was dramatic.. and at the end of it all SW stood standing on the 1st PLACE PODIUM! 

Congratulations to the District winning 200 Fr Relay of Vivian Foral, Maggie Norberg, Natalia Martin and Dan Buchholz who went a season best time of 1:45.49! 

In the Backstroke SW had 2 swimmers and 2 amazing swims, congrats to Addy Falkin who went a best time with a huge stretch on the finish to move up to 11th place and Allie Mae who had an amazing repeat of 1:04 to finish 5th overall!

In the Breaststroke SW had another 2 swims and 2 more fantastic finishes, as Ranie Stroh waited around all night to do what she does best, drop time at Finals in the Breast with a best time of 1:20 and moved up to an 11th place finish overall. 

And in the Final Malaina did Senior things with a strong swim to power herself to 4th and a State appearance! 

Finally we came to the 400 Free Relay and SW was ready to put a bow on the night. Vivian Foral, Allie Mae, Malaina and Dan put it all in the pool to finish 4th for SW and bring the relay to State!

After it all, SW had moved up in multiple places to close the gap between SC and SW in the psych sheet and put together an amazing weekend of competition with a STRONG 310 points and 3rd place finish out of 14 WESCO teams!

Congratulations to all District athletes for their performances!

As if it never were - the Shoreline Pool site

 

Photo by Gidget Terpstra

By Diane Hettrick

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, Shoreline had a public pool. It was old, small, and lacked a diving well, hot pools, and other amenities, but it was in constant use.

Generations of local kids learned to swim there and some continued on to get their Red Cross certification. Swim and dive teams - boys and girls - from our high schools used the pool as their training area. 

Kayak classes were held in the evening. Special needs kids were able to have water time in a heated, indoor space. 

The land is owned by the Shoreline School District, which has no immediate plans for it. The pool was owned by the City of Shoreline, which arranged for the demolition and restoration of the site. Now that the grass has grown, a new resident would never know that a pool had been there.

The City of Shoreline has grant money and would love to put in a picnic shelter, which would open the adjacent Shoreline Park to community events.

As for the pool, there are plans in the works. Garrett Oppenheim, Assistant to the City Manager of Kenmore, is in charge of plans for a regional aquatic center.

I am happy to report that the City of Kenmore received two $100,000 grants from King County to perform aquatic center feasibility studies. We have partnered with the cities of Lake Forest Park and Shoreline for one study and with the city of Kirkland for the other. 

Our four cities are working together to prepare an RFP to issue in late January or early February and expect to select a consultant in March with their work to be completed in November.

Shorewood's Susie McDowell retires from coaching after 30 years

Susie McDowell's last team in 2022 had a hugely successful season

By Kristi and Daniel Lin

After over 30 years of coaching swimming in the Shoreline School District, Susie McDowell made the surprise decision to announce her retirement from coaching - at least a surprise to all but Susie! At the core of her decision was the reality that it was simply too difficult to commit to her second grade teaching position and coach at the same time.

2022 team with Coach Susie McDowell and Assistant Coach Jeremy Hunter
Photo by Kristi Lin

Susie grew up swimming year round in the Tri-Cities with the Tri-City Channel Cats. She was a decorated high school swimmer, achieving both Junior and Senior National qualifying standards. She garnered attention from prestigious swimming programs, deciding to swim at UW from 1985-1989 and serving as Captain during her Senior year.

Upon graduation, she knew that she loved teaching and swimming, and she started coaching in hopes of it helping her land a teaching job. Because of her gifts in both education and coaching, she excelled in both disciplines and coached from 1989-2022 with seven years as Assistant Coach and 26 years as Head Coach, totaling 33 years of inspiring and motivating kids in the classroom and in the swimming pool!

Susie fosters team spirit. 2014 team pre-meet cheer.

Susie is most proud of seeing kids happy about being a part of a team and learning how they could contribute, no matter their skill level. She felt that these attributes would serve our high school kids well throughout their entire lives as family members, friends, colleagues, parents, and mentors.

Susie was also a meticulous planner and fierce competitor. She would spend days and weeks mapping out a dual meet match-up, figuring out the lineup to optimize success which usually resulted in endless piles of chart-riddled paper strewn about her house.

2010 State Champions

One memorable meet was a 94-92 victory against Kamiak in their home pool for the 2006 WESCO South Title! Another lasting memory was the 2010 State Champion 400 Free Relay team (Annika Stenfjord, Anni Hecker, Alicia Hoverson, and Dana Michaels), with Susie standing on a chair cheering and Assistant Coach Jeremy Hunter preventing her from climbing on the table.

Susie never backed down from a good challenge, and several dual meets came down to the last race which she absolutely embraced and loved.

Susie and her daughter Emily

A particularly sweet highlight for Susie was the opportunity to coach her daughter Emily from 2015-2018, thinking initially that she might hang up the whistle and stopwatch after Emily’s graduation, but thankfully hanging on to her coaching mission for four more years.

Susie gracefully leaves Shoreline coaching after a hugely successful season – 1st place JV Championship, 2nd place District Varsity Championship , with swimmers posting personal-best times, culminating in a 15th place finish at the 3A Washington State Championships.

The community will miss Susie, as she helped with the successful transition from the now permanently closed Shoreline pool to the new site at Innis Arden at the height of the pandemic.

See Susie's article on the venue change from indoor to outdoor pool 

She absolutely loved serving and mentoring the swim team youth. Susie feels immensely honored and proud to have been a part of high school athletics for the past three decades and feels that high school participation represents the best things about sports for our children.

While Susie is still hopeful that Shoreline will find resources for a public indoor pool, she is grateful for all the opportunities and experiences that Shoreline has offered and thankful for all the support for Shorewood Swim Team.

Congratulations, Coach Susie, on all your excellent hard work and success for our Shoreline student-athletes!

Demolition of the pool began in earnest this week. The General Contractor, Forma Construction, expects the structure to be down by the end of next week. Work then shifts to foundation removal and backfill. The site will then be capped with topsoil and hydro-seed.

The City of Shoreline is working with the School District on possible uses for the site, which may include constructing a picnic shelter. The City received a State Department of Commerce grant last year for a picnic shelter and first choice would be the former pool site.

The pool property is adjacent to Shoreline Park, two soccer fields, and tennis courts. There are already restrooms and concrete walkways.

Last year, with the pool closed, Shorewood girls' swim team was able to hold their practices and meets at the outdoor, privately owned Innis Arden pool. Shorecrest girls' held their practices and meets at the outdoor, privately owned Sheridan Beach pool.
