All-Olympic League bowling team unveiled

Bowling is in the middle of its playoffs. Klahowya won the Olympic League title last week.
The district tournament is Saturday.

Here’s the all-league team.
MVP—Ashlyn Jamrog, Olympic (190 average)
Coach of the year—Dave Colby, Klahowya
Sportsmanship—Bremerton
First team—Dakota Henderson (Seq) 174. Briana Kennard (Kla) 172.33. 3, Sarrah Ackerman (Kla) 166.0. Ruth Click (Kla) 165.67. Daniela McKeel (Kla) 162.0.

Reclassification cycle changing to four years instead of two

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s Representative Assembly passed nine amendments, including a significant change to the current two-year reclassification cycle.

The classification cycle amendment (Rule 4.1.0) is changing from every two years to every four years according to a press release from the WIAA on Friday. A school can appeal its classification after two years. A school can appeal due to significant decrease in enrollment, declining enrollment, an opening of a new school or unforeseen circumstances.

The current cycle is completing its first year this spring. The next reclassification cycle would be for the 2016-17 school year. That’s when the four-year cycle would begin.

The other three amendments that passed that deal strictly with high school sports were Rule 17.5.8D which now allows an athlete who is invited to participate in a national championship event the opportunity to be coached by their high school coach.

Rule 18.23.3 allows a high school student, who is not represented by a high school, to compete against a college team and maintain their amateur status. Rule 65.3.3 also gives 1B schools the choice for varsity volleyball matches to chose the number of games they play, best two-of-three, three-of-five and five-of five.

Olympic bowlers enjoying flawless season
