Skyline comes out on top in plateau softball battle
May 10, 2012
The Eastlake softball team lost 5-2 last week to Skyline in a game that remained close until the second-to-last inning.
For the first three innings of the May 2 game, it looked like the Eastlake Wolves and Skyline Spartans could be headed for a stalemate. Then the curse of the zeros was broken in the top of the fourth inning when Madison Camp-Chimenti hit a single for the Spartans. Natalie De La Garrigue and Riley Davidson followed with an RBI each.

Eastlake tops record-setting Skyline golf team
May 2, 2012
The fact that the Skyline girls golf team broke its course record by more than 20 strokes last week should have made it Skyline’s match, but the win went to the visiting Eastlake Wolves, who bested their host by three strokes.
It happened April 24 at The Plateau Club, home turf of the Skyline Spartans. They play the par 36 nearly every day, and at the match managed a 249. But Eastlake had a better day, coming in at a 246.

Spartan track team dominates Garfield
May 2, 2012
With a boys score of 68 and a girls score of 98, Skyline’s field and track team put its best face forward last week when it swept its home meet against Garfield.
The clouds rolled in over the Sammamish field April 26 but never opened up to pour over the event. When the sun peeked out from behind its curtain it was not enough to warm up the athletes, who peeled off their sweats only long enough to compete in their particular events. At the long jump station, Lindsay Coutts, a junior at Skyline quickly shed her warmer layers before taking off down the runway and launching, her arms and legs stretched back before coming down in the sandpit. During her jumps Coutts kept commenting that she found herself having to slow before springing from the takeoff board. Read more
