Shorewood swim team takes rare loss going into Thursday home meet with Lynnwood

The Shorewood girls' swim and dive team suffered a rare loss Tuesday, losing to Kamiak in a duel that came down to the end at Kamiak Pool.

Kamiak of the Western Conference 4A South pulled out the win with a final score of 95-91 over Shorewood of the Wesco 3A South.

Shorewood coach Susie McDowell said after the meet that the Lady Thunderbirds had a great day with state-qualifying relay performances in the 200-yard freestyle relay team of Erin Arslanoglu, Britt Blomso, Christina Garrison and Ari Norberg (1:44.45) and the 400 free relay team of Nicola Gerbino, Arslanoglu, Megan Pitts, and Britt Blomso (3:52.41). State-bound Blomso also improved her best in the 100 butterfly by going under a minute for the first time (59.81).

"On paper, Kamiak is a better team than us, but we wanted to give them a run and that, we did,” McDowel said. “Kids throughout the whole team swam best times and they really swam their hearts out. Disappointed for sure, but we were also content when we left the deck."

Shorewood plays host to Lynnwood Thursday at 3:30 at Shoreline Pool.

Shoreline Pool closed for maintenance

Friday, May 10, 2013

Notice from Parks and Recreation


The Shoreline Pool will be closed beginning Saturday, May 11 for a minimum of one week due to a boiler failure.  Our 42 year old pool has received a high level of maintenance over the years to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of swimmers who have enjoyed the pool since its opening in 1971. At long last the boiler finally got tired.  We are working to secure a new energy efficient boiler as quickly as possible and get it installed, but the closure of at least a week is needed to do the work and get the water reheated for your swimming enjoyment.

We will update the schedule on the City of Shoreline website as additional information becomes available.  We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you back at the pool soon.  If you have questions please contact us at 206-801-2650 ext. 4.

Shorewood grad swims for Ohio U at Division I NCAA meet

Shorewood grad Laurin Williams swims for Ohio U
Photo by Julia Leiby, The Post

2010 Shorewood grad Laurin Williams is a junior at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She will compete with the Bobcats swim team at the Division I NCAA meet this week.

This article was posted in the Ohio University student newspaper, The Post.

When Laurin Williams touched the wall after the 1,000-yard freestyle race against Youngstown State in February, she looked around and took a couple of breaths.

She didn’t need to hurry out of the water, as other swimmers were still not done with the race. After all, the first Penguin swimmer finished 34 seconds later.

In a time when decisions in swimming have come down to a matter of milliseconds, Williams waits for her competition to finish — even at conference meets.

At the Mid-American Conference Championships, Williams won her first-ever individual title in the 1,650-yard freestyle and finished eight seconds ahead of Eastern Michigan’s Briana Emig.

Williams broke her own school record at the 1,000-yard mark, but narrowly missed it by 0.6 seconds at the end of the race.
“We didn’t put everything on the table for the MAC Championships,” Ohio coach Greg Werner said. “We saved a little bit, and I hope we will see that this week (at the NCAA Championship).”
After placing 23rd in the 1,650-yard freestyle last year, Williams wanted to return to the national stage.

She has lived for this moment.

Williams started her distance-swimming career in seventh grade when she joined a swim club in her hometown of Shoreline, Wash. Two years later, she finished in the top eight in the 500-yard freestyle at the state championship and capped her high school career with a third-place finish in the same event her junior year.

Werner, however, admits her recruitment was a complete coincidence, as Williams did not live within Ohio’s usual recruitment region.
“My assistant was at junior nationals, which were in Washington,” Werner said.
“They talked for 30 minutes and convinced her to come out to Ohio for a visit.”
Williams was won over by the program right away.
“Everybody that is coming here improves,” she said, adding that her family now flies out to Ohio several times a year to see her swim. “You don’t want to go to a college where you see that swimmers die out.”
After finishing fifth in the 1,650-yard freestyle at the MAC Championships her freshman year and her NCAA appearance last year, Williams is the only swimmer to have qualified for the NCAA championship for two consecutive years in the last 12 years.

Her way to the top, however, wasn’t easy. The junior practices year-round with practices way beyond the 10,000-yard mark.
“I do get bored (in the water) all the time,” she said. She can tell stories about suddenly finding water bubbles interesting after hours of swimming. “I zone out; I have stories in my head. I try to repeat what I learned in class, and I sing songs.”
Whenever she is asked how she motivates herself to practice, the only answer she has is routine.
“After I am done with schooling next year, it is going to be weird to not have anything to do between three and six, because that’s how it has been forever,” Williams said.
It’s routine that will be needed at the NCAA Championships. This championship is more stressful for swimmers than any other competition is, Werner said.
“Everyone that is there has earned the right to be there,” he said.
Williams earned it, too — by practicing, by thinking about water bubbles and by waiting for her competition to finish.

The Shorecrest 400-yard freestyle relay team of Grant Heisey, Russell Groves, Axel Wickstrom and Carter Osborne finished seventh in the State 3A swimming championships in Federal Way Saturday.

In addition, Heisey placed fourth in the 500-yard freestyle and Osborne was sixth in the 200.

Shorecrest finished seventh in team scoring with Shorewood 14th, a week after Shorewood won the Northwest District 3A championship with Shorecrest second and about a month after Shorewood defeated Shorecrest in a dual meet.
