100-meter sprint with a time of
12.62 seconds.
O'Donnell also placed second in
the 200 meters, finishing in 25.65
seconds.
"We had some girls that really
improved their times and dis-
tances," Geiser said. "If she
(Berry) can jump that again,
that'll get her a place at state."
The Skyline girls 4xl00-meter
relay team came in second with a
time of 48.69 seconds.
"They had some of the best
performances I've seen this year,"
Geiser said. "Hopefully, we can
carry this momentum into
KingCo."
The Liberty girls went without
standout sprinter Kelsey Werre
and finished 50th with one point.
Krista Lockhart set a new school
record in the pole vault. She
placed eighth overall, clearing 9-
06.
"The kids that we thought
would do well did well," Smith
said.
The Skyline boys placed 32nd
of approximately 70 teams at the
22nd annual Shoreline Invita-
tional May 2. It tallied 8.5 points.
Among the top performers all
day, Kasen Williams put up a
third-place measurement in the
long jump (22-02.25) and sixth
place in the high jump (5-04).
The Spartan distance medley re-
lay finished ninth with a time of
11:23.07.
Although the Liberty Boys did-
n't score any points, four athletes
finished in the top 25 at the
Shoreline Invitational.
Prom played a factor in Lib-
erty's participation in both the
boys and girls meets, coach Mike
Smith said. Many athletes did not
attend the meet because of the
school event.
"It was not one of our better
days, in terms of scoring," Smith
said.
Eric Bice's 1,600-meter per-
formance was good enough,
though, to break the Patriot
school record of 4:26.00. Bice
placed 12th overall with a run of
4:24.46.
Junior Peter Stacy placed 10th
in the javelin with a throw of
159-09 and he threw 135-06 to
place 18th in the discus. Long

bottom of the seventh inning. The Eagles' Devin O'-
Donnell came up with one out and two on in scoring
position. All it took against Skyline reliever eeyton
Herrod was a sacrifice fly to center field to score'
Dustin Talley from third.
"We work on that every day at practice," said Is-
saquah coach Rob Reese. "Pitching and defense won
the game for us."
Skyline scored its run in the second inning. It came
in the form of a sacrifice fly to left field by Jacob
Shannon that scored Ryan Gilchrist. At 10-5, the
Spartans are now second in the KingCo Crest Divi-
sion. Issaquah clinched a spot in the playoffs with the
win and is right behind Skyline in division competi-
tion.
"We're still in it. We've had a tough road," Lemke
said. "This week was big and we've already lost two.
We're pitching well, so we just need to get on a roll
hitting and I think we'll be OK."
Issaquah's starting pitcher, freshman Ethan Kalin,
pitched six confident innings April 29, allowing just
one run on four hits and striking out two. Earlier
this season, Kalin, with the junior-varsity team,
hurled a perfect game no-hitter.
"It all comes back to hitting," Lemke said. "We
need to score more than one run on a freshman. The
guys know that."
Eagles win another thdller
Issaquah won another thriller April 27, when it
scored in the top of the seventh inning to beat host
Eastiake 4-3.
Spencer Rogers, the winning pitcher, had six
strikeouts and also drove in a run. O'Donnell, Paul-
son and Gavin Schumaker drove in Issaquah's other
runs.
The Eagles ended the week with an 11-4 loss to
Newport. Issaquah and Newport, both 8-7, entered

runs and two RBIs. Taylor Weik
was 2-3 with three runs.
The win was Liberty's fourth in
a row in conference play.
"They're fighters," said Liberty
coach Jessica Johnson. "The team
has gone through a lot of adver-
sity with a lot of injuries this year
and we've had to make a lot of ad-
justments, and they just keep
pushing through."
