Dr. Paul Joos, a longtime Renton eye surgeon, will replace Don Jacobson on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Directors. Joos took a decisive lead over his opponent, Mary Alice Heuschel, superintendent of the Renton School District, following the release of initial general election results Tuesday night. He maintained that lead when the Wednesday results were posted, the last before the Renton Reporter deadline. The results showed Joos with 58.28 percent of the vote to Heuschel’s 41.43
After Tuesday night, Robin Jones and Ed Prince could only wait and watch as each day new results were posted in their ultra-close race for the Renton City Council. After the initial results from Tuesday’s general election were released that night, Prince led by just 128 votes. That lead grew to 203 votes after new results were posted Wednesday afternoon. “We really felt good,” Prince said Wednesday morning. “We really felt positive.” After his primary victory, Prince could

Rich Roodman will step down as superintendent of Public Hospital District No. 1 in December to concentrate on his role as CEO of the new strategic alliance between Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine. The hospital district’s commissioners will consider at their December meeting whether to appoint Jeannine Grinnell, the district’s treasurer, as the interim superintendent. Grinnell’s appointment was introduced at Monday’s board meeting by President Sue Bowman. Grinnell, who has extensive experience as a state auditor and in hospital finances, expressed an interest in the permaRich Roodman nent position. Early next year, after Dr. Paul Joos takes office to replace Don Jacobson, the board will prepare a new job description for the superintendent. Commissioners had a busy agenda Monday, including approving an increase of 1 percent in the hospital’s property-tax levy. Next year, that property tax levy will be $20,080,355, com[ more ROODMAN page 13 ]

People’s Choice: ‘The Disconnect’ Renton FilmFrenzy IV film also honored at gala as Best Picture. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The People have chosen “The Disconnect” as their favorite film of Renton FilmFrenzy IV. The voting for the People’s Choice Curvee was conducted online at rentonreporter.com. “The Disconnect” won handily with 59 votes or slightly more than half of the votes cast. Renton Reporter Publisher Ellen Morrison will present the Curvee to the film’s producer, Mitch Shepherd of Renton, and its star, John Wu, at Monday’s City Council meeting. “The Disconnect” was an awardwinner at the Curvee Award Gala last month at the IKEA Performing Arts Center. The judges selected the film as Best Picture and its star, John Wu, was named Best Actor. “I am thrilled to win,” said Shepherd. “This competition offered a great opportunity to local filmmakers, and I’m proud to have my work associated with this burgeoning festival.”
Mitch Shepherd, left, and John Wu watch as their film “The Disconnect” is shown at the Curvee Awards Gala last month. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter “The Disconnect” tells the story of a man (Wu) headed for his wedding who’s looking for some marriage advice. He calls a wrong number and ends up getting that advice from a stranger, only seen from behind playing a video game. The stranger is played by Shepherd. “My intention in creating the film was to just tell a good story that connected with people on
different levels . . . hitting at the simple humor but also adding at least one or two complex emotions.” They had the title, “The Disconnect,” already in mind. But they saw the actual words again, on the rail car plaque next to the Renton Historical Museum. “That made us feel that we were somewhat ‘blessed’ by Renton,” he said.

Chamber gets $175,000 for new HQ, visitors center BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The Renton Chamber of Commerce is a big step closer to having a new office and visitors center downtown. The Renton City Council Monday night approved $175,000 from the lodging tax to go toward a down payment on the landmark train depot on Burnett Avenue, now owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. The lodging tax is designed to support the multibillion-dollar tourist industry throughout the state. For years, the depot was the home of the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train and the kitchen where catered meals were prepared for the Spirit of Washington Event Center, now the Renton Pavilion Event Center at the Piazza. The chamber had accumulated about $210,000 for a down payment, not enough to keep the mortgage payments at an acceptable level, based on the $840,000 price tag for the building, according to Bill Taylor, the chamber’s president and CEO. Last week the chamber signed a purchase and sale agreement with Burlington Northern and will now move forward with the due diligence, including an appraisal, necessary before a final deal is signed. If the process goes smoothly, the chamber could move from its current headquarters on Rainier Avenue South in late February, Taylor said. “We will have a beautiful visitors center right in the heart of town, right

where it belongs,� Taylor said Tuesday. The chamber had hoped to find a location downtown as a “positive statement� about the business community’s support for downtown, he said. Alex Pietsch, administrator of the city’s Department of Economic and Community Development, said a visitors center would provide a draw to downtown Renton, much like the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. “It’s a great step forward for downtown Renton,� he said. The interior of the building is striking, with knotty pine on the walls. The bathrooms are “huge,� Taylor said. The chamber would need to do little to the interior as the office space is “more than adequate,� he said. The chamber would create space for a conference area and add a small kitchen for the chamber staff. The purchase also includes a second building that includes the commercial-sized kitchen. The kitchen is now used by Rain City Catering,

which operates the event center and provides the catered food. Rain City Catering will remain as a tenant of the chamber. The chamber will use $150,000 toward the down payment and $25,000 for work on the outside, including signage, Taylor said. A 1 percent lodging tax is charged on all paid overnight stays in Renton, raising between $180,000 and $200,000 a year, said Taylor, one of the members of the Renton Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The committee is chaired by City Council member King Parker. The tax revenue is not comingled with city funds, Taylor said. The City Council approves all expenditures. The money also goes to the Renton Visitor’s Connection, an effort of the chamber, and the Renton Community Marketing Campaign. The $175,000 that will go to the chamber has been accumulated over years, Taylor said. The state law creating the lodging tax specifically calls out a visitors center as one of the uses for the tax, he said. Taylor called the purchase “a major step forward� in advancing the mission of the chamber, whose headquarters has overlooked the Renton Municipal Airport for 50 years. The chamber has leased the building from the City of Renton, which wants the property for an airport-related use. Taylor said he’s going to miss the airport, where chamber employees and visitors have watched Boeing 737s take off on a maiden voyage. “That has just been magic,� he said.

Renton honors five of its top volunteers BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
There’s a common theme running through the lives of the five volunteers Renton honored last week – they all want to give back to their community. Dining on wild sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay, Alaska, a crowd of more than 100 honored the 2011 Citizens of the Year Norm and Carol Abrahamson and Outstanding Citizens, Brad Brotherton, Brian Larson and Lynn Peretti. Each in their own way has contributed time, talents and money to make Renton a better place to live. “Volunteering is a way for me to give back,� said Carol Abrahamson. She and Norm arrived in Renton in 1958, not knowing anyone. They received a warm welcome, she said. Mayor Denis Law welcomed the honorees and those honoring them to the annual event that in Law’s words celebrates the city’s volunteers. The Abrahamsons were introduced last, by Sonja Mejlaender, the City of Renton’s community relations and events coordinator. She chronicled the Abrahamsons’ extensive community involvement in a wide range of Renton events and activities. Carol Abrahamson spent countless hours as a school volunteer. They are fixtures at the IKEA Renton River Days, Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank.
Norm Abrahamson is the one to call if something needs fixing or built. Together, they went to New Orleans to help in Katrina relief efforts. They are the perfect example, Mejlaender said, of “the sum being greater than the parts.� Amid multiple thank-yous, Norm Abrahamson said the award was “unbelievable.� Peggy Miller, organizer of the Miss Washington Pageant, introduced Brad Brotherton, who is the prime sponsor of the pageant in Renton. He has lent his time and financial support to the Renton River Days, Return to Renton Car Show, the Renton Heart Month. He contributed the money for a large screen at the IKEA Performing Arts Center that allowed for the showing of the films presented by the Seattle International Film Festival. Brotherton, the owner of Brotherton Cadillac, Buick and GMC, said it was nice to be recognized “for doing what you love to do.� Jim Medzegian introduced fellow retired Boeing engineer Brian Larson, whose long list of community involvement includes the Piazza Renton group, the Renton Farmers Market and the Return to Renton Car Show, which has raised about $150,000 for the Renton Police Department youth fund. The “great honor,� he said, “came out of the blue.� But, he said, “I guess I have something to live up to now.� Lynn Peretti, last year’s president of the
Mayor Denis Law, at right, helped honor five outstanding volunteers in Renton, from left, Brad Brotherton, Carol and Norm Abrahamson, Lynn Peretti, and, seated, Brian Larson. CHARLES CORTES, Renton Reporter. Renton Lions Club, was recognized for her work with the club, the Salvation Army Food Bank, Renton River Days pancake breakfast, the Humane Society and the Renton Clothes Bank. In introducing Peretti, Rodger Richert joked, “Where Lynn goes, you lose your clothes.� Dinner was prepared by Don Persson and Larry Sleeth; the Renton Youth Council provided table service. Aaron Buckner
provided entertainment on the piano. Sabrina Mirante, the chief operating officer of the Renton Chamber of Commerce, said the salmon was shipped in by Peter Pan Seafood. She said that using the Bristol Bay salmon helps bring attention to efforts to protect Bristol Bay. The 2011 Citizens of the Year recognition is sponsored by the City of Renton, the Rotary Club of Renton and the Renton Chamber of Commerce.

The City of Renton rewards those who provide information that leads to the apprehension of graffiti vandals with up to $300. Renton Police scored a recent victory in the city’s ongoing campaign against graffiti with the arrest of the person who tagged the downtown Renton Library with the word “Reckless� written in red. The witness who came forward with the key information will receive a $300 reward from the city. “Graffiti is an invitation for criminal behavior and sends a message that we do not care about our city,� said Mayor Denis Law. “I am very pleased to report that we are making great strides in the fight against graffiti. Since we launched our comprehensive anti-graffiti initiative in 2009, graffiti in our city has dropped by 60 percent.� Cameras have been installed by the city in “hot spots� around town to help identify and prosecute vandals. A parttime graffiti abatement coordinator has been assigned and the city has partnered with local businesses and the community to launch a comprehensive education campaign. The campaign encourages people to report graffiti by calling the graffiti hotline, 425-430-7373, or 911 if they see “tagging� in progress. To volunteer or participate in the city’s program please call 425-430-7362. For more information, visit the city’s website at rentonwa.gov.

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A Renton man was tied up and robbed in his house by two suspects on Oct. 27. The man, who lives in the 1000 block of Lynnwood Avenue Northeast, called police just after midnight. The 22-year-old man was coming home when the two suspects approached him at his front door and forced their way in behind him, displaying a gun. They ordered him downstairs and told him to straddle a chair as they tied up his hands with a shoestring. The suspects asked him his name and then left him, he believes, to go rifle through the rest of the residence. The 22-year-old got up, freed himself and called police 30 minutes after he heard a car pull away. One of the suspects was described as a black male adult, 5-foot-7-inches, 170 pounds and wearing all black with a ski mask over his face. He was armed with a semi-automatic handgun.

A former Renton couple fought over visitation rights to their two dogs on Oct. 20. A 45-year-old Renton man reported to police his ex-wife was refusing to allow him visitation with their two dogs. The man said he has been divorced from his ex-wife for almost two years. According to him, he gave her everything in the divorce but the two dogs. The female dog is worth $3,000 and the male is worth $5,000, the man said. The ex-wife said the man is too confrontational and can’t visit the dogs anymore. Police advised the man to pursue the issue in a civil process.

Beware, all grafitti ‘artists,’ the real tag in city is JAMOT Recently, when I noticed fresh graffiti and tagging in my neighborhood, I immediately took pictures and forwarded them on to code compliance at the City of Renton. Renton’s strong ordinance, established in 2008, against this type of activity has been very successful because of their all-inclusive approach to this problem – early notification by the public, cash rewards, quick cover up of tagging and graffiti by volunteers, criminal trespass and vandalism charges for offenders, and sophisticated tracking records. In addition, they hired a part-time graffiti abatement coordinator who I will call JAMOT. Ironically not too long ago – maybe several thousand of years or more when our ancestors first walked the earth – this method of communication and documentation was not only acceptable, but encouraged. How grateful we should be that there were no graffiti ordinances banning our ancestors from writing on the walls of public rock structures or caves. Their tools of communication provided valuable insight into our human beginnings and, for them, became a tangible witness that “they were here.” Fast forward many thousands of years and, even with tremendous advancements in communication, we still have graffiti and tagging – but for different reasons and with different results. Today, defacing public property is considered vandalism. Graffiti is an umbrella that covers many forms of this type of illegal activity by taggers, gangs and artists. There are those who act alone or are part of a “crew,” which often explains how a large colorful mural can be accomplished in a short period of time in difficult surroundings. The script or art form of graffiti always relays a message. It could be harassment, intimidation, gaining fame, marking geographic territory, or Tish Gregory

COMMENTARY
Question of the week:
he Renton Reporter is joining a growing list of newspapers that no longer will accept anonymous online comments. We’ve debated the issue internally here at the Renton Reporter – and with our frequent commenters on our website – and our corporate Internet gurus have researched what is becoming a newspaper standard. The standard is the same that’s been followed in print for decades: if you have an opinion to express, attach your name to it. If you want to take a dig at someone, attach your name to it. Frankly, comment threads can deteriorate quickly into name calling, innuendo and outright nastiness that does nothing to foster a healthy debate. At times it feels like the Wild West has invaded our website. Chronic “trolls” are driven away. Starting on Nov. 17, the Renton Reporter will introduce a new comment moderation policy through Facebook. We hope to improve your experience of reading and participating at www.rentonreporter.com with this new policy. It’s not an endorsement of Facebook per se, but at present their comment system offers the best way to ensure an environment of decorum and mutual respect among readers who participate in news sites. That, we believe, is ultimately good for both our business and for Renton. Any logged-in Facebook user will be able to comment on our stories to encourage and reward real identity. Anonymous and negative comments will be curtailed.
presenting a point of view concerning their issues with society. Most assuredly part of the lure is that it is prohibited by law, giving them some personal gratification of defiance. Since 2008 when the graffiti abatement group was formed, JAMOT and their crew have reduced individual tags from 3,000 a year to 979 so far in 2011. Besides JAMOT’s hard work, we can also thank the taggers and graffiti artists who can’t resist putting their personal moniker or “tag” on their work. At times they go even further and paint a self portrait or publish their work on the internet. Most of us would call that selfincrimination along with supplying the evidence to prove it. Many of us visualize these taggers and graffiti artists as young teenagers. I was going to credit seniors, because it’s always done in large print. Turns out, I wasn’t too far off. According to JAMOT, the average age is 27, white male. We currently have a 29-year-old in Renton going to great lengths and heights to display his work, despite being overweight and having bad knees. Thousands of years later, some are still trying to prove to the world that “they are here” by using the same ancient methods – graffiti and tagging. Frankly, it will take more than crayons, markers, fancy script or colorful images on a wall to be noticed by this insensitive world. The simple fact that we are here is proof enough that we exist. What matters more is, “how will we be remembered?” No one departs this world without leaving a lasting impression, good or bad. It has absolutely nothing to do with how well you can print, color or draw. But don’t be discouraged, all you taggers and graffiti artists. Your primitive cry for attention is being noticed by the JAMOT crew who are pursuing you, your crew and your haunts. JAMOT is tag for “just a matter of time”.

Following unrest among residents over Renton City Council’s decision to move the downtown library, concerned residents have started a petition for an initiative to stop the process. The petition is being spearheaded by Renton resident Stuart Avery and is designed to allow Renton voters control over where Stuart Avery a new downtown library will be located. It is not an attempt to prevent library improvements, Avery said, only to dictate that any location of a downtown library other than the existing location must be approved by voters. This summer City Council members voted to construct two new Renton libraries. The Highlands branch is being moved to a new location and the downtown library over the Cedar River will be moved and redesigned at the former Big
5 Sporting Goods site on South Third Street. Avery understands the need for a new Highlands library, based on the small size of the current branch and the area’s growth issues. What he is uncomfortable with is the way City Council has handled the move of the downtown library over the Cedar River. “I am against the city spending enormous amounts of tax dollars which it must borrow for the relocation of our downtown library, especially when faced with so many other much greater needs in our community,� Avery said. “It is the epitome of fiscal irresponsibility considering it is so widely unsupported by the public.� The city, along with the Chamber of Commerce, has wrongfully allowed residents to believe that the current downtown library is unsound, Avery said. He feels that Proposition 1, which was put on the February 2010 ballot to annex Renton libraries into the King County Library System, made people think that that was their only option for saving Renton libraries.
He has no idea how many signatures they have collected so far, as the petitions are being returned by mail, by hand and some may not be returned for weeks. “What I can say is we have many (signatures), and the effort is snowballing as more and more connections are made,� Avery said. They are hoping to gather more than 7,000 signatures by a mid-December deadline. The group is required to obtain signatures equal

The matter, he said, has caused confusion among people, but he feels that whether the downtown library stays or changes locations, the present site will require upgrades. Avery cites the engineer’s statement and issues such as less parking, less amenities and more occurrence of crime at the former Big 5 site as reasons for why the move should not take place. “A lot of things just don’t make sense,� he said. “The city has been telling us, well the library can’t hold the load of books. That it’s seismically not sound and that’s just not true.� Avery has a core group of about eight to 10 volunteers canvassing for signatures.

Initiative would give public say on downtown library
In an interview, Avery produced documents from structural engineering firm, Swenson Say FagĂŠt, to Peter Renner, the city’s facilities director, that state the building does not have to conform to present code unless it is substantially altered or subjected to a higher capacity. This statement is true, said Renner, but, “That’s with a lot of qualifications.â€? Renner explains that even if the building were to keep its present use, it would require upgrades in the future that would potentially trigger seismic upgrades. “In a practical matter, KCLS would not leave the library in the way that it is now,â€? he said.

Veterans signing a piece of World War II history BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
A connection that spans generations, that’s what Thomas and Linda Rowley share with other families and veterans of the World War II 384th Bombardment Group when they attend its reunions. For the last 10 years, the Rowleys have paid homage to Linda Rowley’s uncle, William I. Sellers, by attending these events. Sellers was a sergeant, radio man and waist gunner in one of the 384th’s B-17 aircraft. He was killed Aug. 3, 1944, during a test flight over England. The only survivor from that crash was
co-pilot Jim Vranna, who is now 89 and living in North Dakota. Recently the Rowleys traveled to see Vranna in North Dakota and another veteran in Montana and took with them a B-17 wing panel for them to sign. The panel has been traveling around the country for the last 14 months, accumulating signatures of veterans from the 384th. According to the group’s website, the 384th “flew 316 combat missions over Europe during World War II as part of the Mighty 8th Air Force’s strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany.” This Veteran’s Day, the

will be a museum, although when the panel stops traveling and which museum it will go to will be decided by officials of the 384th Bomb Group. There is a museum with information on the 384th at Hill Air Force Base near Salt Lake City, Utah. There are many family members of veterans helping with these efforts. They call themselves the Nextgen group, Thomas Rowley said. “There’s more of us now than veterans; they’re getting old and they need family to help them travel,” he said. At the last reunion at The Double Tree Hotel in Tukwila in early October, Rowley said, three members of the 384th showed up the group didn’t know were in the area. He said the project was important because veterans of this era,”They all know they’re running out of time,
so they’re interested in telling their stories and they enjoy being around each other.” Rowley said that he, too, enjoys connecting with the veterans and their families. He and his wife have met several veterans that were at the Grafton Underwood base the night of the crash that killed Sellers, Linda Rowley’s uncle. Sellers went off to war two years before Linda was born, but his death was devastating to Linda’s mother, Seller’s sister. Linda’s mother didn’t talk about Sellers much, which prompted the Rowleys to do their own research, eventually leading them to the 384th group.

Property taxes would go up about $10 [ ROODMAN from page 1] pared to the 2011 levy of $19,681,672. The 2011 levy was not increased 1 percent over 2010. Renton and Kent represent about 75 percent of the hospital district’s total assessed valuation of about $33.5 billion. Next year, the owner of a typically valued home of $245,200 in Kent will pay $147 in taxes to the district. The owner of
a typically valued home of $285,500 in Renton will pay $171 in 2012. In both cases that’s a roughly $10 increase over this year. Property taxes are mostly used to pay off bonds used for capital projects at Valley Medical Center. The commissioners also approved what’s called a statutory expenditure budget that sets the upper limit for how much money can be spent in the hospital’s final operating budget. The increase in the property-tax levy and the budget
were approved on 3-2 votes, with commissioners Carolyn Parnell, Don Jacobson and Sue Bowman voting yes, and commissioners Aaron Heide and Anthony Hemstad voting no. Heide was particularly vocal in his opposition to the levy and budget recommendations, calling the actions and the oversight by his fellow commissioners a “sham.� His criticisms drew responses from other commissioners. The commission also held a public hearing on

Lindbergh cross-country coach Jef Rettmann knew it was too close to call. The second the 2A state boys race was over, he rushed to the results room, an area where race administrators post results before they’re announced. “All the coaches rushed down there and waited,” Rettmann said. “The guy who had the results came down and told us only one
separated first and second, but didn’t tell us who had won.” Then Rettmann got the best news he’d heard in a while, his boys team had won the state title by the slimmest of margins over Sehome, 112-113. Rettmann said the boys went out a little fast in the beginning of the race, so they started to fade a little bit as the race went on. [ more XC page 16 ]

Eagles back to state BY ADAM MCFADDEN amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
It was all working for the Lindbergh football team Friday night as the Eagles topped North Kitsap 38-17 to advance to the 2A state tournament for the third time in the past four years. "It's a beautiful thing," said Lindbergh coach Pat O'Grady. "We've kind of got it figured out. Hopefully it stays figured out." Lindbergh takes on Lakewood Friday night at 7 p.m. at Lakewood High School. The Eagles' (6-3) fell behind early when North Kit-
sap returned an interception returned 52 yards for a touchdown on Lindbergh's second offensive play. The Eagles responded right away as Calebse Cange returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown to tie the game. Later, Matt Stuart hit Cam Callen for an 11-yard touchdown. Lindbergh went on another drive capped by a Stuart touchdown to Derrick Holt. Find the rest of the story and photos online: Eagles fly past North Kitsap, return to state | Football

Patriots dominate league again, head to state Hazen amcfadden@rentonreporter.com
With a second-straight undefeated KingCo 3A/2A season, second-straight league championship and second-straight state berth, things couldn’t be much better for the Liberty girls soccer team. “I feel like the drive the girls have had this year and last year is completely on a different level,� said senior all-state forward and Oklahoma commit Cassidy Nangle. “Every girl here wants to win. You can just feel the energy.� But as the Patriots (15-1) prepared for their opening-round state game against Columbia River Wednesday night, they had to be careful. The Patriots looked nearly as good last season before heading into trouble in the state tournament. Liberty fell to Bonney Lake 2-1 in the first round. But there was no shame in that. Bonney Lake went all the way to the 3A title game before falling to Seattle Prep 1-0. Liberty coach Jamie Giger said the team’s playoff seeding may have played a role.
By winning the KingCo, Liberty advanced straight to the state tournament, bypassing the district playoffs, and taking more than a week off. “That week of kind of killed them,� Giger said. “They kind of lost their itch I guess you could say.� Giger is in her first season coaching the Patriots, but she was close to the situation last year as friend Malia Arrant was at the helm. This season, the Patriots have looked great from start to finish. Their only loss came in a non-league opener against Skyline, 1-0. And the Spartans are no ordinary foe. Skyline has won the 4A state title two out of the past three seasons, and it took third in the other season. “It was a reality check,� Nangle said. “I felt like everyone was so shocked, they didn’t really think we could do it until we played Skyline and kept up with them. It was inspiring for us to see we’re up at that level.� From that game on, Liberty was perfect through the regular season, going 14-0 and outscoring opponents 60-8 and only once allowing an opposing team to score more than
[ HAZEN from page 14 ] the program, this was the natural step.� The Highlanders (7-2) avenged a 28-13 loss to Franklin in the same situation last season. “I couldn’t pick anything better than to play that game as a rematch because it shows how far we’ve come,� Oliver said. “Same location, same time, same team, it was big for our kids.� Hazen takes on Capital in the first round of the 3A state tournament Saturday at 7 p.m. at Ingersoll Stadium.

Renton’s Vuong heading to state
Swim [ SWIM from page 14 ] Kourtney Brunings, Kayla DiMicco and Taylor Gale made up the relay. Wibmer also picked up a win in the 200 IM and the 100 back. DiMicco earned a win in the 100 free. Amy LeBar took second in the 200 free and second in the 100 free. Brunings placed fourth in the 200 IM and second in the 100 breast. DiMicco placed fifth in the one-meter dive while teammate Sarah McCormick was sixth Hazen’s 200-free relay team of Gale, Collons, McCormick and LeBar finished third. The Highlanders 400-free relay team won with a time of 3:43.94. LeBar, Brunings, Wibmer and DiMicco swam on the relay.
Looking at Renton senior Lynhda Vuong before she takes on her event at a swim meet, there’s one word that seems to fit her best: intense. Sitting by herself, she’s focused completely on what’s ahead. And it’s working so far. Vuong will compete at the 2A state swim and dive meet, where she’ll swim in the 100 free and the 400-free relay. “It’s been a really good season,” Vuong said. “Going to districts and state is a really exciting feeling.” Vuong first made the state meet her junior year. “It was nerve-racking,” she said.
Vuong, who also plays softball at Renton, takes a little extra pride in competing with year-round swimmers, while she only trains part of the year. “They’re a little more experienced than me, of course,” she said. “But I can keep up.” Vuong has still shown quite a bit of improvement since she joined the team. As a freshman, her 50-free time was 32 seconds; now it has dropped to 26.8. The story is the same in the 100 free, where she’s gone from one minute, 11 seconds to 58.9 seconds.

“By the end it was impossible to tell who had won,” he said. “It was just so close. Everybody fought really hard for that last half mile, it was a fight for every spot.” And every spot counted. Luke Garcia led the way, finishing 18th overall with a time of 16 minutes, 18.4 seconds. His brother Mark Garcia was close behind in 19th (16:18.4). After them, Travis Downen took 21st, Nathan Haley 31st, Mohamud Abdi 54th, Ben Platt 74th and Omelyan Strembitskyy 100th. The Eagles finished second at state last year, and this is now the seventh straight year they’ve finished eighth at state or better. Meanwhile, the girls team placed sixth for the third straight year. Sarah Reiter led the way in sixth place overall. Anna Patti took 12th, Jasmine Fallgreen 33rd, Thuong Nguyen 80th, Elizabeth Hansen 122nd, Cindy Huynh 125th and Brenna Fisher 137th. The Renton boys team placed 13th. Aslan DaVault led the team in 41st place. Adriel Paine IV took 65th, Brian Reilly 73rd, Hamilton Carter 91st, Michael Weaver 113th, Tyler Pascual 139th and Millais Tsang 142nd. Joy Barnes finished 41st for the Indians on the girls side. The Liberty girls cross-country team placed eighth at the 3A state meet. Allie Wood led the way in 27th place. Sarah Bliesner (43rd), Megan Larson (44th), Megan Chucka (94th), Amy Broska (101st), Rachel Shaw (102nd) and Aimee Christensen (133rd) followed. Hiron Redman placed 76th for the Patriots boys team.

With strong veterans like senior Elise Tinseth, and excellent newcomers like Mackenna Briggs, the Liberty swim and dive team heads into state looking good. Tinseth is no stranger to the state meet. Last year she placed sixth in the 100 breast and seventh in the 200 IM, while also swimming on the Patriots’ 200-medley and 400-free relay teams. This season she came in with the goal of qualifying for every state in every event, something she just missed. “There was some extra pressure because it’s my senior year,” she said. “It was a little disappointing to miss the ones I did by about a second.” But Tinseth didn’t stay down. She will compete at this weekend in the 200-medley relay, 200 IM (in which she’s qualified with the fourth fastest time in state), 100 breast (third fastest state time), and the 400-free relay. Briggs is on the different end of the spectrum as a freshman. She’s already made quite a splash this season as the first freshman in Liberty

history to qualify for state in every event. “I didn’t know that I was the first one until I got all my times,” Briggs said. “It’s really cool, and it was my goal at the beginning of the year.” She picked up her final time in the 100 breast, what she called her worst event, Oct. 1 at the Mukilteo Invite. Briggs is swimming in the 100 back (second fastest state time), 200 IM (third fastest state time), 200-medley relay and 400-free relay at state. “I’m really hoping to come in first, but I’m fine with a top three, “ Briggs said. “It’s going to be really cool.” Both Briggs and Tinseth are looking forward to the state meet, something that’s a different experience than they get with club swimming. “High school state is the most exciting, exhilarating meet out there, “ Tinseth said. “It’s much better compared to year-round swim meets. I don’t know why, I can’t really explain it.” Tinseth also said Briggs is in for quite surprise when she hits the water at King Country Aquatic Center Friday. “She doesn’t know what she’s in for,” Tinseth said.
