Swimmers Receive USA Swimming Award

Vancouver— Swimmers Kasey Calwell, a Senior at Camas High School and Chris Xue, a Senior at Mountainview High School, have been named Scholastic All-Americans by USA Swimming. Calwell and Xue are among only 865 boys nationally, and among fewer than 200 boys in the Western Zone to qualify.  Applicants must be a USA Swimming athlete and have qualifying times equal to a Junior National Bonus time standard, and have a minimum 3.5 GPA. Both boys have 4.0 averages. Nearly 70 percent of all winners have a 4.0 average.

Calwell and Xue are the only swimmers, male or female, from Clark County to be awarded this distinction.

Both are actively being recruited by colleges from all over the country. Xue is a 50 Freestyler and Calwell an Individual Medley and Breaststroke specialist. Calwell will be attending Winter Junior Nationals in December, in Federal Way.

In addition, both have excelled on their respective high school teams over the past three years; and both have competed and performed well at State competition.

They are both coached by Darlene Hill of Columbia River Swim Team in Vancouver. 
“I’m honored by the award,” said Calwell, who is considering several colleges.

Bryce Tabbut (#12) made the first goal of the night within the first two minutes of play, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Moments later, Gage Garrett (#52) scored the second goal with an assist by Austin Garwood (#1). Garrett would make the third goal, followed by Tabbutt with goal four, and the fifth again by Garrett.

Coach Jim Avino discusses strategy with the Camas LAX team.

Moments later, Gage Garrett (#52) scored the second goal with an assist by Austin Garwood (#1). Garrett would make the third goal, followed by Tabbutt with goal four, and the fifth again by Garrett.
Camas made its statement quickly and was ahead by 5 by the end of the first quarter.
“The boys have been working really hard,” said Head Coach, Jim Avino. “They’ve gotten more aggressive and it showed tonight.”
Garwood got the sixth goal of the night, half way into the second quarter, as Forest Grove had its best defensive showing of the night. Garrett’s aggressive play earned him a foul and he was sidelined moments after Garwood’s goal. Garwood made goal seven for his team a few minutes later, and was followed by Matt Welinski (#9) who made goal eight for Camas.
 
Grayson Windle (#22) celebrates after making his first goal of the season.
By halftime, Camas was ahead 8-0.
Tabbut scored the fist goal of the second half (goal nine), and then Zach Quist (#11) made a statement with his first goal of the night half way into the third quarter. Goal 11 was made shortly after by Grayson Windle (#22).  Quist wasn’t done yet and scored goal 12.
Freshman Keaton Sturbelle (#44) made his first goal of the season (goal 13) with an assist by Nick Elliott (#5). The final goal of the night was made by Garwood, at the end of the third quarter.
The boys face Hood River on Monday at 5 pm. Junior Varsity plays at 4 pm.
