Sweeping all four singles matches, the Lady Celts de- feated West Salem 5-3. At No. 1 singles, Han- nah Childress barely broke a sweat and didn’t lose a game, defeating Miranda Brewen 6-0, 6-0. Katherine Perez only dropped one game, topping Katie Harrington 6-1, 6-0 at 2 singles. Helena Gools, a foreign exchange student from Bel- gium, won 6-4, 7-6 at 3 sin- gles. After not winning a match last season, sophomore Avery Haymowicz won 6-0, 7-5 at 4 singles to remain unde- feated. “My serves have improved over the summer quite a bit,” Haymowicz said. “Last year I would lose game after game because I just couldn’t serve. This season has been a big improvement and I’m re- ally happy with the way the whole team has been.” Haymowicz has also worked at being more con- sistent this season. “I’ve got to be the wall that keeps hitting it back,” she said. McNary’s fi fth point came at No. 1 doubles. After los- ing the fi rst set 2-6, Natalia Gonzalez and Sofi a Zielinski stormed back to win the sec- ond set 7-5 and the third 6-1. “Last year we didn’t win many matches, except for like two, and West is a pretty good school, so it was nice winning,” Gonzalez said. “I think we just had the mo- mentum going with us, as soon as we won a set. They kept hitting it to us at the net and I think both of us play really well at the net so it was easy shots.” West Salem won at 2, 3 and 4 doubles. The Lady Celts defeated McKay 7-1 on Wednesday, April 4 in its fi rst league match. Childress again won 6-0, 6-0. Perez captured a 6-3, 6-3 victory and Tanveer Sandhu came from behind to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 at 3 singles. McNary then swept dou- bles action with Gonzalez and Zielinski winning 6-4, KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary senior Helena Gools, left, and sophomore Avery Haymowicz both won their matches at No. 3 and 4 singles on Monday, April 9 against West Salem. 6-1 at 1 doubles and McK- enna Sieg and Taylor Walker winning 6-4, 6-1 at 3 dou- bles. The other two doubles matches both went three sets with Ainoha Zorzo and Gina Munguia coming back to win 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 at 2 doubles and Haymowicz and Joyce Yu holding on for a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 victory at 4 doubles. Reaching new heights McNary sets PRs at Titan Track Classic By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes SALEM—McNary senior Paige Downer took last track season off to play AAU bas- ketball. She’s returned looking like she never left. After setting a 1-foot per- sonal record of 10 feet in the pole vault at Forest Grove to open the season, Downer cleared 9-08 on Friday, April 6 to place fourth at the Titan Track Classic at West Salem. The 10-foot jump is the best in the Greater Val- ley Conference this season and would have been good enough for second at last year’s district meet. “I knew I was going to come back and vault but I didn’t know it would be like this so far. It’s exciting,” Downer said. “I have hope for myself and I think that if I can keep working and putting in time during practice then I can achieve great things. I’m kind of the underdog.” Three Bend girls tied for fi rst, vaulting 10-08. “They vault all year long so they have an advantage but they’re very good athletes as well,” Downer said. “It makes me want to work harder. If I want to get up top, I have to look like these athletes. I watch them to see what I can work better on, what they’re doing right and that I can critique and fi x.” Last season’s GVC cham- pion, West Salem senior Alyssa Premo, tied for fi fth at 9-02. Downer also ran on Mc- Nary’s girls 4x100 relay. Seeded ninth, Downer, Kai- ley Doutt and freshmen Ash- lin Samples and Leah Doutt fi nished fourth in 51.44 sec- onds.

Downer’s best vault of the season, 10-foot, lead the GVC as of Wednesday, April 11. McNary run-rules South Salem KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary senior Haley Ebner runs to fi rst base after laying down a bunt against South Salem on Monday, April 9. By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes On a quote board in Mc- Nary’s dugout were the words “Make it happen.” Against South Salem, the Lady Celts did just that, scor- ing seven runs in the fi rst in- ning and seven more in the second to run-rule the Saxons 14-3 in fi ve innings on Mon- day, April 9. McNary’s fi rst fi ve hitters reached via single in the bot- tom of the fi rst. “That fi rst inning the girls came out on fi re,” McNary head coach Kevin Wise said. “We just kept fi nding holes.” Haley Ebner drove in the fi rst run of the game, scoring Nadia Witt on a line drive sin- gle to right fi eld. “That’s something that we want to keep working on,” Ebner said of getting off to the fast start. “Obviously, if you score fi rst you control the mo- mentum of the game. We’ve been talking about it a lot and I’m glad that we lived up to it today.” The Lady Celts had eight hits, all singles, in the bottom of the fi rst, and fi nished the game with 16 hits. Emma Kinler had Mc- Nary’s only extra base hit on a double to center fi eld to score Alexa Cepeda and Ebner to give the Lady Celts a 14-0 lead in the bottom of the second. “I felt like I wasn’t really hitting all that well so I just went up and there and I was like I’m just going to hit it hard, I don’t even care where it goes and it happened,” Kin- ler said. “I just really wanted that hit.” Kinler was 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs and three RBIs. Witt was 4-for-4 with a run and RBI. McNary stole fi ve bases in the game. Kate Ronning swiped two. “We have a lot more speed than probably what we’ve had in the past. Not that we haven’t had fast girls but now as a whole we’re a pretty quick team,” Wise said. “We’ve talked to the girls a lot about being aggressive and they’re stepping up and doing it. It puts a lot of pressure on defenses. I love it. I hope they keep doing it.” South Salem scored all three of its runs in the top of the third, taking advantage of two infi eld errors. “We had a little communi- cation problem in the infi eld, just being young,” Wise said. Faith Danner pitched all fi ve innings for McNary, al- lowing just two hits. South Salem played with- out Maygen McGrath, a senior who has signed with the Uni- versity of Montana. McGrath sprained her ankle last week. Please see RULE, Page B4
