A Swimmer’s World: CRST Preps for Long Course

Mt. Hood Community College — Sixty-four members of the Columbia River Swim Team (CRST) swam into the night Saturday at the Summer Blast #2 meet, in which five clubs competed in 17 events. It’s all part of a strategic effort to prepare for the Long Course championships in late July.

“The kids try to hit state qualify times at these events,” said CRST Head Coach, Darlene Hill. “We’re one of a few club teams that does this over the summer, which is why you see so many age groups.”

CRST athletes swam alongside Chehalem, Portland Athletic Club, Canby, and Forest Grove swim clubs in mixed gender races that provide excellent training for the youth.

This was the second of three Summer Blast events that help the young swimmers prepare for other competitions, such as the Long Course, and the Future Nationals in August. Hill said the kids each compete in three events.

“We’re in summer training now,” said senior Max Dolbinin. “We practice two hours in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon so we can be ready for the Long Course championships. I think we eat 6,000-8,000 calories just to fuel up.”

Dolbinin has swam competitively for many years for Vancouver-based CRST, and enjoys the challenges the sport brings. He also swam for Heritage High School for four years, with good success.

“Even if you let up for a few days, it can affect your performance,” he said. “When we go to Hawaii for 10 days, and come back it’s hard to get back to where you were.”

Andrew Chang Interview

Union High School Senior Andrew Chang has enjoyed his many years at the club, and considers fellow swimmers some of his best friends.  He says they’re really like a family.

“Today wasn’t a bad swim,” Chang said. “It was my first Individual Medley (IM) of the season.”

CRST Successes

CRST continues to build on a string of successes in 2017, and in years past, that sees many swimmers go on to compete at the collegiate level. CRST alumnus Andrea Young was recently named Oregon State University 2017 Swimmer of the Year.

The meet started at 5:45 pm, and lasted until 10 pm. Swimmers competed in the following events:

  • Mixed 50 Backstroke
  • Mixed 100 Free
  • Mixed 50 Free
  • Mixed 100 Breaststroke
  • Mixed 200 IM
  • Mixed 50 Free
  • Mixed 100 Backstroke
  • Mixed 50 Breaststroke
  • Mixed 100 Butterfly
  • Mixed 200 Freestyle
  • Mixed 200 Backstroke

  • Mixed 400 Freestyle

“Grandpa Joe” Pleckinger Hangs Up His Umpire Hat

Camas, WA — Longtime baseball umpire and sports enthusiast, Joe Pleckinger, officiated at his final game at Forest Home Park Friday night. Age age 87, he felt it was time to hang it up.

Friday night’s game ended an umpire career in multiple sports that started in 1958.

“I was a Parks and Rec Director, and we weren’t paid a lot of money,” said Pleckinger. “So, I found some opportunities to umpire — for the extra money. I’d take the 60 bucks I’d make as an umpire, and then I would go down to the lumber yard and finish off my basement. This was in Minnesota.”

Pleckinger then moved his family to Northbrook, Ill. and got contacted to umpire in a suburban league, which comprised eight big schools in Chicago.

“We officiated at multiple games with a four-man crew,” said Pleckinger.  “We were there for three seasons, and then moved back to Minnesota.”

In the early 60s, he officiated at games in Minnesota. He umpired small college and high school baseball, basketball, and football games. Often, he’d get called on short notice to umpire games.

“It’s still like that,” he says. “You know how it is.”

In 1978, the Pleckinger’s moved to Olympia, Washington, but his job prevented him from officiating for several years. But that changed when they moved to SW Washington, and in September 2005, he resumed umpire duties for the Little League.

“I like being around the people — the fans and the kids,” he said. “I enjoy base umpiring because it’s not so physically strenuous. I enjoy honest competition. I enjoy golf, football, baseball, and a good track meet on television.”

About Youth Sports Today

“I think in the situation we’re in, I like the parent involvement we have in Camas,” said Pleckinger. “I think the parents do a good job of leaving the game on the field. Sometimes we have a few people upset, but it’s usually from somebody that doesn’t own the call. That’s why I make my calls loud and clear. The ball isn’t caught until it’s secured. Often the first baseman’s foot isn’t on the base.”

Advice?

“I think the kids are learning they’re going to get out of it what they put in it,” he adds. “If they don’t put in extra time, they won’t excel. Parents need to be involved. It’s a good thing.”

The whole family loves sports. The Pleckinger’s have watched for years their grandsons (Jake and Zack Blair) compete, and rarely miss a game. And, Joe is affectionately called “Grandpa Joe” by those who know him well.

“Joe focuses on teaching the kids, and so does my son-in-law, John Blair,” said Carol Pleckinger, Joe’s wife. “They use each situation as a teaching moment.”

She says they do this naturally.

“Last night’s game, I was talking to kids who don’t usually play on second base — I tell them to not stand on second base because it’s interference. It’s a teaching moment.”

Little League umpires are volunteers. They’re not paid for their work, but are typically given a bottle of water, Gatorade, and a meal after their work is completed.

Camas LL Majors Royals Team Clinches First Place

Camas, WA — The Camas Little League (CLL) regular season closed this week with the Majors Royals team (15-3) winning their division title. They won their final game Friday night against the Orioles, 24-22.

The boys brought their bats to the games, but they also impressed defensively.

“Our top line pitchers were as good as anybody in the league,” said manager/head coach, Casey Taylor. “Aaron Sung, Zach Blair, Dom Colletto, Jake Swenson, and Justin Taylor. What else stood out? Patrick Phelps, who hasn’t played since T-ball, is a 12-year-old now, and is by far the most improved player in the league. He made some big plays for us. Big plays defensively, big plays offensively, and all the kids were real easy to coach.”

Royals

John Blair and Will Speakman also coached the winning team. The coaches have spent countless hours over the span of many years coaching Little League teams, both regular and post-season.

“It was always fun to play against the Royals,” said Reds player, Easton McCarty. “They’re a good team. We had a lot of fun on the Reds team, too.”

Teams were drafted in March, and competitive play began in April. Post-season All-Star teams will be announced this week.

Vancouver Victory: Zach Morris, 17 and Semi-Pro

Interview soccer player, Zach Morris, of Vancouver.

by Haley Childers

Since he could remember, Zach Morris has always been a soccer player. “My parents volunteered at the YMCA when I was really young and I remember playing every sport while I was there, but I decided to pursue soccer after that, and it just went from there. So since I was 4 years old I haven’t stopped.”

At seventeen years old he is currently playing at the semi-pro level with Vancouver Victory FC, currently in his second season playing goalie. The season is off to a great start, with 5 wins and zero losses for the team.

Coach Aaron Lewis said Zach’s age hasn’t presented any challenges for anyone on the team.

“Physically, Zach is a mature player,” said Lewis. “He also has a great attitude, always looking to improve and takes opportunities whenever he can get them. He’s a helpful teammate and is always looking for ways to give back to the team and the community.”

Zach Morris

Zach Morris

Lewis says that the goal of Vancouver Victory is to develop great soccer players, giving them a place to perform and flourish so that they can grow as players, as well as serving the community to give back to Southwest Washington.

Morris highlights several coaches who have really helped him grow as a player: “Andy Barth who coaches for North Florida University, Sorin Popovici, who I met at the Olympic Development Program when I was 10, and I’ve been training with him ever since. Aiden Brown who coaches at the Timbers, all of them have helped me out a lot. They’ve really raised me as a player, put me under their wing in a way.”

His passion in life is definitely clear: His whole life is soccer – no outside hobbies. Besides playing for Vancouver Victory FC, Morris is excited to start working for Kidz Love Soccer, a group that offers camps and classes to communities in Washington, Oregon, California, and Texas. It serves as a non-competitive environment for kids to build confidence and self esteem. And as for the future, Morris is excited to see what college brings and hopes to play on a university team and eventually professionally.

“It’s just the drive, soccer never gets old for me. I just love it.”

Columbia River Swim Team: New Athletes, Bright Futures

Darlene Hill and Doug Lumbard, of the Columbia River Swim Team (CRST) “Wave Riders” talk about new athletes, the amazing talent of current swimmers, upcoming meets, and the success of past club swimmers.

Last year the Columbia River Swim Team “Wave Riders” brought on a slew of new athletes now going to their first competitions and meets, and Coach Darlene Hill is happy with how they are progressing.

“We take young swimmers and train them so they peak, but not so much that they peak at 13-14 years old,” said Hill. “If you train hard too young, even a talented athlete, if they have already done big meets at 12 years old, they can get pushed too hard. Parents and coaches mean the best, but young athletes will burn out and lose their joy for the sport. We make sure they enjoy their families, other sports, or music programs so that they are well-rounded and don’t become overworked.”

Hill, along with Lumbard and Mike Bemis (who coaches the Camas high school girls and boys swim teams as well), all work to make sure their athletes are doing well in every aspect of their life. Swimmers are known to have the highest GPA amongst other athletes. For example, recently, the Camas Boys Swim Team was honored for the GPA achievements.

“With our athletes we can almost always help them get a swimming scholarship if they put in the work,” said Hill. Swimming teaches so much camaraderie, so much endurance and focus.”

Past CRST Swimmers Now Compete at Collegiate Level

Schools will give better scholarships to students who have better academic records versus those who have impressive athletic achievements. Here is a list of some recent CRST athletes who have gone on to compete for their Universities:

Kasey Calwell- University of California Santa Barbara

Lucas Ulmer- University of Redlands

Chris Xue- Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Darya Samiee- Cal State Bakersfield

Jonah Rodewald- Whitman

John Utas- University of Lethbridge

Sierra Colletto- Whitworth University 

Julia Sanders-Texas Christian University

Andrea Young-Oregon State University

Eric Bugna- University Of Redlands

Justin Natyzak- Olivet Nazarene University/Cumberland

Wesley Tatum-  Whitworth University

Callum MacKintosh- Whitworth University

Alexis Morehouse- Seattle University

Jay Jones- California State Bakersfield

Lisa Tompkins- San Diego State University

Kelsey Lynch- Washington State University

Peggy Liang- University Of Hawaii

Bethany Hoopman- California State University East Bay

Rachel Chong- Pacific Lutheran University

Keenan Natyzak- Arizona State University

Mackenzie Bailie- Orange Coast College/Concordia

Jon Brodeur- Bryant University

CRST

CRST swimmer, Max Dolbinin (in silver cap) dives in.

But the athletic scholarships aren’t the only plus for these young swimmers. Lombard and Hill have seen how it effects hundreds of young people.

“We’ve seen how therapeutic swimming is for our athletes,” said Hill. “We’ve seen our athletes take breaks from swimming and their parents tell us how uptight they are when they aren’t swimming. There’s a sort of water addiction that comes from swimming, being suspended by the water. And it’s a sport that is individual and yet you are working with a team as well, it really is the best of both worlds. Swimming has also been proven to help kids that have ADD and ADHD because of the rhythm and focus that happens in the water. It has both healing and physical benefits.”

The CRST Wave Rider coaches have seen hundreds of young swimmers grow up. “We have a lot of kids come back who have careers, maybe they’ve started their own families, and they come back to me and talk about all the good memories they have from the swim team, and a lot of their fondest memories were arranged times that we set aside for the team to bond. We want them to be good friends with their teammates and to keep their studies up. It’s a lifelong sport but needs to be balanced with a happy life.

As for the events coming up soon, Coach Mike Bemis explained what the athletes are currently preparing for:

“Right now we’re preparing for a meet at Mt Hood Community College that’ll take place tomorrow (Saturday, June 4). Then we have a Senior Seattle Open, which brings competitors all the way from Canada and Southern California. The Futures Meet, held at Stanford University, will be high school and returning college students competing from Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, and more.”

A new meet in USA swimming, “Futures Meet” is the junior national level. There are 7 CRST swimmers tentatively going this year: Max Dolbinin, Tom Utas, Colleen Woods, Eric Bugna, Kasey Calwell, Andrea Young, Lucas Ulmer, and Chris Xue.

Important Swim Meet Dates:

Senior Seattle Open – July 7-9
