LC’s Haase will play golf for Colorado

Lewis and Clark High School senior-to-be Megan Haase has given an oral commitment to play golf at the University of Colorado.

She is ranked in the top 50 in the country in the 2012 class and No. 1 for her age in Washington state. This summer she qualified for the USGA championship at Olympia Fields in Chicago and the Junior World Championship at Torrey Pines near San Diego where she finished 35th out of 156.

She also finished 10th at the Junior America’s Cup, shooting a second-round 69 and leading the Washington state team in scoring for the event.

She took third in the State 4A tournament last spring.

Swimming

The Spokane Area team qualified three to the 2012 Olympic Trials.

Coleman Allen, a Lewis and Clark graduate who will be attending UNLV this fall, qualified for the Canadian Olympic Trials next March. Coleman qualified in five events. In his best event, the 100 fly, he is currently ranked fifth in Canada.

Mason Shaw, a Lake City graduate who is attending Stanford, qualified in three events – the 200 breaststroke, 200 IM and 400 IM.

Jenni Dole, a Mead grad who will be a senior at Oregon State, qualified in two events, the 100 fly and 100 backstroke.

Dole and Shaw competed at the 2008 Olympic Trials. The U.S. Olympic Trials will be held next June in Omaha, Neb.

Allen recently competed at the Canadian National Championships in Montreal. He placed fourth in the 100 fly (54.91 seconds), seventh in the 200 IM (2:06.85) and ninth in the 200 fly (2:04.13). He also competed at the USA National championships at Stanford where he placed sixth in the C Final in the 100 fly (54.42). He qualified for both the Canadian and U.S. Olympic Trials but chose to attend the Canadian trials since he has such a high ranking and a better chance of making the 2012 Olympic team. While attending the Canadian Nationals he missed making the Canadian Pan American team in the 100 fly by two-tenths of a second.

Three Spokane Area team members attended the Speedo Junior National championships at Stanford. Ben Lovell (Lewis and Clark) placed 10th in the 100 freestyle and 10th in the 500 freestyle C finals.

Amani Amr (Shadle Park) competed in the 100 and 200 backstroke and Emily Renzini (Mt. Spokane) competed in the 100 and 200 butterfly.

Wrestling

Jordan Rogers (Mead) took first in the 76kg division and was named outstanding wrestler at the Fila Cadet Greco nationals in Akron, Ohio, last week.
