Two brothers from the Gold Coast Swim Team had strong showings in the age-group sectional meet at Federal Way, Wash., last weekend.

Max Stuntzner-Gibson and his younger brother, Karl, both posted several personal bests during the regional meet.

Each also earned one medal by finishing in the top eight of an event.

Max was sixth in the 200-yard butterfly with a new best of 2 minutes, 14.31 seconds. He also broke 2 minutes in the 200 freestyle for the first time, finishing 13th in that event.

Karl’s best finish came in the 100 butterfly, where he was eighth in 1:14.53.

The strong efforts came despite Max being slowed by a recent illness and Karl competing in the age-group sectional for the first time.

Baseball clinic a success

The North Bend Independent Baseball Clinic last week was considered a huge success, organizer John Qualman said.

Students from several South Coast communities took part in the event, with the instruction by Wenatchee Valley Community College coach Rusty Keith, a forrmer South Coast standout, and his players.

“What was most positive about it was the interest from the kids and the quality education we provided them, and the breadth of community support that went into it,” Qualman said, referring to food donations from local stores, volunteer help by the Sunrise Rotary Club, and donations of lodging and discounted breakfasts for the Wenatchee Valley team by Lakeshore Lodge.

North Bend High School donated its facility and money brought in throught the clinic was used to offset the costs for Wenatchee Valley.

“In short, with so much support, the kids benefited at nominal cost to them and Wenatchee Valley Community College is able to stretch its budget further,” Qualman said.
