Stratton helps Vandals

set new swimming mark

Staci Stratton, a 2006 graduate of Sequim High School, helped the University of Idaho’s

women’s swim team break the school mark in the 400 free relay event at the Western Athletic Conference finals in San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 20-23.

Stratton, a freshman at Idaho, also competed in the 50 free, 100 free, 100 back and 200 free relay events, setting personal-bests in each swim.

After swimming a personal-best in the 100 free, Stratton, along with two other freshman and a senior, broke the 400 relay mark with a 3:29.80 finish. In the process, Stratton broke her own 100 free best she set minutes before.

The Vandals finished sixth among eight teams at the WAC finals. The team set five school records overall.

Church group to recycle

used soccer jerseys

The Sequim Community Church high school youth group is traveling to the Door of Faith Orphanage (www.dofo.org) during spring break, March 31-April 4, to work on building projects, and hope to take lots of gently used soccer jerseys from the

Sequim community to be "reused" by the children who live at the DOFO home.

Church sources say there are more than 100 children at Door of Faith and most love to play soccer.

To donate soccer jerseys, drop them off at any Sequim district school; there is a collection box in each office.
