City of Mercer IslandA 1994 vision for the aesthetic and economic future of Town Center planned for more restaurants, taller buildings and a more walkable neighborhood. The vision, available online, is currently being updated.
Interested citizens will have a chance to voice their opinions on Town Center — whether they want to see more local restaurants and retailers, a central public gath-ering area or more parking — in the coming months.
At the City Council meeting on Feb. 23, staff presented plans to engage the community in the development of Town Center. Nine people were appointed to a Town Center Liaison Group, which plans to meet the week of March 9 with the city’s urban plan-ning consultant and stakeholder group to continue the visioning
work that started last year. For Islanders who have seen the
Central Business District evolve from its own town to a sea of strip malls to a semi-urban neighbor-hood, the concern about the den-sity in and “vision” for the area is history repeating itself.
The city went through a similar process 20 years ago, after a five-story corporate center was built 1987 and the Growth Management Act (GMA) was enacted in 1991.
In response to citizen concerns and to plan for the population growth in Mercer Island, a group of consultants, developers and Islanders — including Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Terry Moreman and former Councilmembers Peter Orser and Susan Blake — participated in a “citizen visioning” process in 1994. The three met with the
Reporter last week to talk about how the Town Center in 2015 compares to their 1994 vision.
“Back when this code was writ-ten, there were seven hamburger joints downtown and one pizza parlor, and now there’s seven pizza parlors and one hamburger joint,” Blake said. “Things change.”
One thing hasn’t changed: the desire for a vibrant, walkable, friendly downtown village.
They planned to accomplish that with mixed use buildings in the three to five story range, depend-ing upon whether or not develop-ers choose to receive density and height bonuses in exchange for “significant” amenities.

In the past week, the Mercer Island Police Department (MIPD) made two arrests of burglars suspected of commit-ting five separate burglaries on the Island and one in Seattle. Both cases are still under inves-tigation for possible links to other recent Island burglaries.
On Feb. 12, Island police arrested a 31-year-old male and longtime resident. He confessed to two home burglaries and led detectives to the location of some of the stolen items, includ-ing jewelry and a computer.
Contrary to speculation on social media, the suspect did not use a white van in committing these crimes, police said.

Two days later at the 8200 block of East Mercer Way, officers responded to a reported burglary in which a rear sliding door had been shattered while the owners were not home.
Collaborating with Seattle Police Department and using the King County Sheriff ’s helicopter, Island police tracked the 24-year-old suspect to West Seattle, where he was arrested.
The same suspect is believed to have commit-ted two other burglaries the same night, one of them
on the 7200 block of West Ridge Lane. In total, the property taken during these crimes — including laptops, iPads, jewelry, rare coins and a handgun — appears to be worth $80,000 to 100,000 dollars.
MIPD Detectives have determined that the two crime sprees are unrelated.The victims of all burglaries will be contacted, advised of the investigation and asked to identify property.
MIPD had been running extra patrols from Feb. 14 to 22, focusing on neigh-borhoods that have recently experienced burglaries and car prowls.
The department sent out a burglary notice on Feb. 4 addressing the community attention and concern about
residential burglaries. There were 73 burglaries on the Island in 2014, according to the notice.
MIPD encourages all res-idents to be aware of their surroundings, use alarms and report any suspicious activity immediately. Many burglary arrests are a result of a neighbor calling 911 when they see something suspicious, police said.
Those interested in host-ing a Neighborhood Watch meeting are encouraged to contact Officer Jennifer Franklin at 206-275-7905. Residents can also check out National Night Out or MIPD’s newest program, Paws on Patrol.

Water system improvements to begin next month
Mercer Island is prepar-ing to start the construc-tion of the 2015 water sys-tem improvement project in March of this year, con-sisting of the replacement and installation of 5,480 feet of water mains, 107 water services and 17 fire hydrants.
These are pre-sched-uled Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and not related to the upgrades required to fix issues found after the boil water adviso-ries, said city communi-cations and sustainability manager Ross Freeman.
Project locations will be: Island Crest Way from S.E. 44th/Merrimount Drive to S.E. 40th Street; 85th Avenue S.E. from S.E. 42nd to S.E. 40th Street; 89th Avenue S.E. and 90th Avenue S.E. from S.E. 41st Street to S.E. 40th Street; and 93rd Avenue S.E. south of S.E. 72nd Street.
On Island Crest Way, the work area is limited to the two northbound lanes, but during construction, traf-fic flow will be impacted significantly. Construction is anticipated to start in mid or late March and
is estimated to take 120 working days to progress through all work areas, with projected completion in September 2015.
On Feb. 4, 2015, the city determined that Earthwork Enterprises from Mukilteo, Wash., submitted the low-est of six bids. The con-struction contract was awarded at the Feb. 23 Council Meeting. A public open house for this project is planned for 5 p.m. on Feb. 26 at City Hall.
City Hall solar installation set for June
Installation of a planned 273 panel, 75 kilowatt solar array on the roof of City Hall is slated for June 1.
“Things are going well for the Community Solar project,” said city commu-nications and sustainabil-ity manager Ross Freeman. “We are working with out-side legal specialists to draft up the paperwork required for all of the necessary agreements.”
The array will be entirely paid for from private funds. Investors receive a solar production payment from the state, set at $1.08 per kilowatt hour. Those pay-
ments are currently sched-uled to end in summer 2020.
The project has reached about 75 percent of the desired number of inves-tors. More participants are still welcome, but enroll-ment will end soon as equipment ordering must occur within the next month, Freeman said.
For more information, email [email protected] or go to www.mercergov.org/solarpower.
Paws on Patrol to start on Feb. 26
About two dozen people have registered for the Paws on Patrol program. The ini-tial training session will be at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday Feb. 26 in the City Hall Council Chambers.
Due to the training being inside, participants are asked to leave dogs at home. There will be other meet-ings at which dogs will be welcome, said police sup-port officer Anna Ormsby.
Email [email protected] for more information or to set up an alternative time to receive the information if you are not able to attend the first session.
City briefs
by Josh Stilts Bellevue Reporter
Bellevue College will not serve as a satellite campus for Washington State University, according to the college’s board of trustees.
Working groups for each of the universities had only met once before Wednesday’s meeting, but talks will continue every other week until they decide if a partnership is mutually beneficial, according to board chair-man Steve Miller.
“This is a prime loca-tion for an educational institution,” Miller said of the Bellevue College campus. “We have a density of students, grow-ing industry, supportive community for educa-tion, the possibility of big donors in the region, all of which makes this very attractive. The question from our point of view is, given what we’re trying to achieve, is this the best way to do it?”
Last fall, officials from WSU approached BC president David Rule with
the idea of a partner-ship and after the board of trustees approved its exploration in December, a working group was formed.
Russell Beard, Bellevue College’s VP of informa-tion technology services and its working group spokesperson, told faculty, students and community members the two groups are trying to determine what BC would look like as a hybrid university offering both four-year bachelor’s degrees and associates degrees.
“The overarching theme is that if we can’t come up with something unique, then the conversation isn’t worth having,” Beard said. “It’s not really hard try-ing to figure out why they want to be in Bellevue. So we hold all the cards … The goal right now is trying to figure out if we should continue having this conversation. Bellevue College is going to do something extraordinary with or without WSU.”
Miller said a partner-ship with WSU currently offers a lot of positives, especially financially, but ironing out the details will take time.
If an agreement and deal can get struck, the
earliest anything could happen is five years, Beard said, adding it would take roughly two years for it to get approved by the Legislature and the gover-nor and another three to align the school’s curricu-lum transitioning from BC’s quarter system to WSU’s semester system.
Both working groups are slated to meet again next week to identify the outline for a memoran-dum of understanding.
Although it’s another step toward a partnership, Miller said there’s still miles to go and there’s still a chance nothing comes of it. As the largest transfer facility to the University of Washington, a partnership with WSU could put that accessibility for students in jeopardy, which could be a deal breaker.
Miller said any partner-ship would only be agreed to if it benefited the stu-dents, both current and future, and the surround-ing community. But even if no agreement can be reached, Miller said that the college will change.
“I don’t think there’s any going back for us,” Miller said. “We either go forward with WSU or go it alone. The status quo is no longer acceptable.”
BC - WSU partnership still uncertainPartnership must be ‘beneficial to Bellevue College’

Explore social justice
By Naomi Sanyika Moore Special to the Reporter
The Mercer Island Teen Advisory board is hosting “Exploring Race & Social Justice: A Conversation” on Saturday, Feb. 28. The Teen Advisory Board wants to provide a space for Mercer Island community mem-bers to have a sensitive, yet necessary, conversation about racial and social jus-tice in America.
In the charged atmo-sphere following the events in Ferguson, Mo., and else-where, communities can
benefit from open con-versations about issues that can divide us, such as racial discrimination, bias and privilege.
The disproportion-ate number of deaths of minority people, specifi-cally young black men, has revealed how necessary it is for us to confront our nation’s struggle to respect and protect human rights.
In the discussion, guid-ing questions will address issues ranging from implicit bias to the idea of colorblindness, but our goal is for attendees to drive the conversation by sharing their experiences, expressing their opinions and concerns, or offering
new questions. Please join us at 1 p.m.
on Saturday, Feb. 28 at the Mercer Island Library. The discussion is free and open to all, and snacks will be provided.
Mercer Island High School alumnus Ben London hopes to sweeten the lives of candy lovers — both particular and adven-turous everywhere.
Founded last year, Candy Jar is a new way to discover and shop for candy online.
The tech-meets-candy company offers custom-ers a unique experience in purchasing candy online. Customers choose a jar size: small, medium and large. Jars are recyclable PET Plastic. Candy shop-pers fill their jars with handful-sized servings of over 700 different types of candy delivered straight to their door anywhere in the U.S. within a week or less.
But there is more.“Our goals include help-
ing local charities and mom and pop candies get exposure to a big market,” London said.
To find out more and to order, go to http://www.candyjar.com or contact Ben London, by email, [email protected] or by phone, 206-679-0028.
Addressing intra-district transfers at the Feb. 12 Mercer Island School District Board of Directors meeting, MISD Chief Finance/Operations Officer Dean Mack told board members the MISD Boundary Committee sug-gested the district adopt a new transfer policy as MISD resets elementary boundaries.
The suggestion comes after parents and com-munity members pressed the Boundary Committee for flexibility at the Feb. 4 public hearing on a final recommendation for elementary boundaries.
“We’re just trying to start the discussion,” Mack told the board. “We know there’s a lot of discussion around this topic. We want to recognize the fact that a transfer policy is important, and before that discussion gets too far out there, we want to make sure that everybody is aware that we are focused
on the recommenda-tions of the committee and moving forward with those recommendations.”
Mack said one of the suggested attributes of a transfer policy would pro-vide an open enrollment period, potentially around the month of April of the prior school year, with a 30-day period where parents could apply for a transfer to a school other than their neighborhood school.
But Mack noted the Boundary Committee’s recognition of the district’s limited resources, particu-larly space.
“If there’s a handful of children that want to transfer from one school to another, we can prob-ably accommodate that,” Mack said. “But if there were 20, that could become problematic, because we’d have a situa-tion where we have 35 kids in a first grade classroom somewhere. The commit-tee feels like that directly conflicts with the purpose of building the fourth elementary.”
In the instance that there are too many requests for transfer, Mack said the committee recom-mended looking into a “fair system” of assigning transfers.
“In the past… we have actually drawn the request out of a hat in order to make it fair,” he said. “If there were three spots available, we’d draw three names, and those would be the assignments.”
Within the transfer policy, Mack said the com-mittee recognized certain students with educational needs required them to attend to a specific school, as defined within their Individual Education Programs. Those students would automatically qual-ify for attendance. He also noted the committee rec-ommended fifth graders receive priority for trans-fers in 2016-17, so long as there was space available within the desired school.
The committee’s final transfer provision stated if a transfer was granted, it would be for the duration of a student’s attendance at
their desired grade school, meaning a transferring second grader would fin-ish their third, fourth and fifth grade years at the school.
While acknowledging parents and transitioning students may experience a mourning period, Mack said the three elementary school principals began working to create a transi-tion plan for those attend-ing new schools.
“There’s a lot of thought going into this,” he said.
Aimee Batliner-Gillette was formally introduced to the Mercer Island School District Board of Directors as the new prin-cipal for Elementary no. 4. Batliner-Gillette currently is the interim principal at West Mercer. She previ-ously served as the associ-ate principal at all three elementary schools.
“I’m excited,” she said. “It’s definitely an exciting professional challenge to have an opportunity to open a new building, that doesn’t come along very often in a career.”
School Boundary Committee pushes for flexibility in student transfer policy

THE RECORDTHE RECORD
Morton Albert Stenchever, MDMorton Albert Stenchever, MD was
born January 25, 1931 to Harold and Lena Stenchever in Paterson, New Jersey. He died January 21, 2015, peacefully in his home on Mercer Island, Washington, at age 83.
Dr. Stenchever enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a professor of obstetrics and gynecology. After completing his medical training, Dr.
Stenchever entered the Air Force at Malmstrom AFB, Montana where he served as a captain for two years before joining the department of OB GYN at Case Western University in 1962. In 1970, he became the Chairman of OB GYN at the University of Utah. After seven years in Utah, Dr. Stenchever relocated to Seattle, where he served as Chairman of the department of OB GYN at the University of Washington, a position he kept for nineteen years. Dr. Stenchever taught medical students and residents, training an entire generation of obstetricians and gynecologists who are still in practice today.
Dr. Stenchever was a member of more than twenty � ve medical Societies and editor of numerous journals including the Western Journal of Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology (The Green Journal), and most recently, Clinical Updates in Women’s Health Care. He authored more than 120 scienti� c papers in the � elds of obstetrics, gynecology, and genetics and wrote or edited several textbooks, including Comprehensive Gynecology, one of the leading resources in his � eld.
Despite Dr. Stenchever’s matchless academic achievements, nothing was more satisfying to him than his family. He was married for over 40 years to Diane Stenchever until her death in 1999. Mort shared Diane’s love of animals, and they traveled the world together. Mort is survived by his three sons, Michael, Marc, and Douglas, and eight grandchildren, Lindsay, Justin, Nicole, Chael, Shay, Joshua, Delaina, and Nathanial.
After Diane’s passing, Mort married his second wife, Luba. Mort and Luba enjoyed more than 13 years together. They adored each other and spent their time traveling to Hawaii, Paris, and a variety of other destinations. Mort is also survived by Luba and her family including her children Lisa, Andrew, and Emily, and grandchildren Rachel, Derek, Lauren, Abe, Elianna, Chava, Ryan, Caroline, and Eden.
As a long-time Mercer Island resident, Mort truly enjoyed entertaining his 17 grandchildren together with Luba in their south end home. Mort loved sharing stories, watching Marnier’s baseball, and attending grandchildren’s music recitals, dance exhibitions, and sporting events. Still, he remained active professionally into his 80s and was an avid reader with a variety of interests within and outside of his areas of scienti� c expertise.
He leaves behind a wealth of memories and love. Mort will be greatly missed.

The 1994 group wrote a code with incentives rath-er than prescriptive rules because they “didn’t want to be Leavenworth.” Instead, they planned to use the city’s Design Commission to vet building plans before they came into fruition.
“Every proj-ect has a color or a feature that wouldn’t have been my choice, but there’s only so much you can dictate,” Orser said. “One person’s charm is another person’s dump. You have to look at it as a whole canvas, not project by project.”
Looking back on it now, they say Town Center isn’t as charming as they envi-sioned. Plazas that were supposed to be public are blocked off, and some store-fronts are empty.
But it is becoming a neighborhood, with more people shopping, dining walking and using mass transit. Town Center is still evolving, and events like Art Uncorked show it has the potential to be a com-munity gathering space, Orser said.
Some portions of the vision haven’t been realized. With Harry, the city is revis-
iting a few ideas from 1994, like requiring setbacks and varied building heights and adding a central plaza and anchor retailers. Harry used examples of Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods in a December presentation.
A contentious part of the 1994 plan has been the five-
story height limit. Some I s l a n d e r s today say that the taller buildings are ruining the “village feel,” that added density is overloading
Island schools and infra-structure, and that develop-ers should give more to the city, whether in impact fees or public amenities, to go up to five stories.
The five-story limit was a conscious decision by the 1994 group, which agreed that the downtown core could most easily accomo-date the growth predicted by the GMA, and that more people living downtown would also mean more sup-port for local businesses.
“Change is inevitable. You just have to manage it, for now and for the future,” Blake said. “We now have a vibrancy in Town Center that we’ve never had before.”
It took a lot of courage to open a business in down-town Mercer Island in 1994, Moreman said: “They just
didn’t last.”There are now businesses
like Bennett’s, Homegrown and soon, Pagliacci Pizza.
City officials seem to agree that the city hasn’t asked for enough in exchange for height bonus-es. They have been talking to Hines about adding com-muter parking and a Whole Foods. Harry said that defi-nition of “amenity” is “too ambiguous in purpose, or conflicting in application, to consistently deliver the kind of meaningful public space described by the intent lan-guage of the code.”
The city has volunteers on its Design and Planning Commissions to interpret the ideas, plans and codes and apply them to new proj-ects. But that doesn’t mean that the plan, or the inter-pretation, is flawless.
Councilmembers agree that the 1994 vision is still good, but needs “tweak-ing,” especially as the city updates its GMA-mandated Comprehensive Plan.
With the Comp Plan update and Town Center vision occuring simulatane-ously, the city imposed a moratorium to slow down development and commu-nicate with the public.
A public hearing on the moratorium is set for March 2. A two‐day work-shop to analyze public input and suggest changes to the development code is sched-uled for March 20‐21.
PLAN | FROM 1 Newest builder to host open house
Residents and city leaders can join repre-sentatives from Hines for an informational open house to discuss Hines’ proposed apart-ment and retail project in the Town Center at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center.
The City Council recently imposed a four-month moratorium on downtown development, but it does not apply to buildings under two sto-ries or to the Hines proj-ect, a five story mixed-use building at the south end of the block bound by 77th Avenue S.E., 78th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 29th Street.
Hines representatives came before the city’s Design Commission in November 2013 and again in December 2014, presenting a mass-ing study.
They have said they wish to cooperate with city officials and citizens throughout the design review process, accord-ing to a letter sent to the City Council on Jan. 30.

Islanders thrive at Mat Classic XXVIICondon takes 195 state title; Yuasa runner-up in 113 division
The full range of emotions was on display during the 2015 Mat Classic XXVII Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Tacoma Dome.
The push-and-pull of a come-from-behind late tournament win. The agonizing heartbreak of defeat in a career-ending match. And the euphoria of a long-held goal finally realized.
When the dust finally settled, Mercer Island walked away with both its senior competitors at the state wrestling tournament taking the medal stand, with Evan Condon claiming the state title at 195 and Taylan Yuasa the state runner-up at 113.
Competing with a dislocated finger since regionals, Condon scored two pins and a win
Mercer Island girls advance to regionalsIslanders finish fifth at district tourney
Heading into overtime for the second-straight game in Friday’s district tourna-ment lose-out matchup against Lakeside, it would’ve been understandable if the Mercer Island girls bas-ketball team felt they were experiencing a bad case of deja vu.
Three nights prior, the Islanders saw a close game
get away from them in a 78-75 double-overtime loss to the reigning 3A cham-pion Cleveland Eagles.
But what the Islanders couldn’t finish in two extra periods against Cleveland, they made sure to take care of Friday night.
Mercer Island stamped its ticket to the state tourna-ment’s regional round with a 42-36 overtime win over Lakeside Feb. 20 at Bellevue College. The Islanders finished the contest with the same defensive inten-sity they displayed at the
beginning of the game, only conceding a free throw to the Lions in the overtime period.
But they did so after fighting off a second-half Lakeside rally, after holding the Lions to eight first-half points.
“At halftime, we talked about continuing to keep our defensive pressure up and having more resiliency on the offensive end, and none of that happened,” Mercer Island coach Kaela

Coming off a heart-breaking triple-overtime loss to Seattle Prep in the 3A Sea-King district quar-terfinals, Mercer Island was looking for a little more magic in Friday’s lose-out game against Lakeside to keep its state tournament aspirations alive.
But behind 51 points from two of its back-court players, Lakeside proved too much, beat-ing the Islanders 68-54 in their consolation matchup Friday night at Bellevue College.
Isiah Brown had a game-high 31 points for the Lions (20-7, 10-6), while backcourt mate Kiki Boyle sprung for 20 points, knocking down six 3-point shots on the evening.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guard as good as Isiah Brown, and I’ve been coaching, playing and watching high school bas-ketball for almost 30 years,” Mercer Island coach Gavin Cree said. “I haven’t seen a guard as good as him, not in Washington. He’s spe-cial. And Boyle, we wanted guys other than (Daejon) Davis and Brown to beat us, and he beat us.”
Mercer Island led 17-10 in the opening period before Brown knocked down a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to four at the end of the first quarter. But
in the second, the Islanders (17-9, 10-2) only managed to score five points while seeing Lakeside close the half on a 9-0 run to lead 32-22 at the break.
Lakeside went up by 17 in the third quarter with another 9-0 run, which included five points from Brown and a dunk from Daejon Davis. The Islanders were able to cut the deficit to ten before Boyle struck with his own personal 9-0 run, hitting three-straight 3-pointers to give the Lions a com-manding 50-31 advantage with 1:37 to go in the third.
Mercer Island would get no closer than 11. Sam Nordale, Andrew Pickles and Nick Taylor each had 14 to lead the Islanders.
After the game, Cree praised his seniors for leading a young team to a season that was, in his eyes, one stop away from a top-four seed in the regional tournament.
“We lost a lot of pieces from last year, one Division I player and some other guys who really scored the ball for us,” Cree said. “We obviously could’ve won the other night. Tonight was tough, but we could’ve won against Seattle Prep. But this was a great season for a team that had a lot to replace.”
The Islanders’ Gabriel Boucaud, Jack Counihan, David Emanuels, Evan Shaddle and Nick Taylor will graduate this year.
Season ends at districts for MI boysby decision before defeat-ing Stanwood senior Garret Arrona in the 195 final 8-5. Soaking in his first state title, which came during the third-to-last round of the weekend, Condon admitted the wait leading up to his final match was starting to get a little nerve-wracking.
“I’ve been here before and I thought I knew how much time there’d be between the beginning and the end, but when you’re actually there waiting to step on the mat, it definitely goes by pretty slow,” Condon said. “You get in your own head a little bit. It snuck up on [me] when it did come, but luck-ily I was ready. It’s just a great experience.”
Coach Creighton Laughary, donned in Condon’s lucky serape at the senior’s request for his final match, beamed like a proud father, misty-eyed and smiling. He said it was a successful tournament run for two wrestling program stalwarts.
“We took two guys to state and we lost one match the whole time,” Laughary
said. “Our guys battled, they worked hard to get here and it paid off. They did a really good job. They took advantage of every opportu-nity, which is what we asked them to do.
“We say, ‘weird things happen in the Dome,’ so…” he said, trailing off with a smile.
For Yuasa, it marked the end of a remarkable prep wrestling career. After scor-ing a pin and winning two close decisions through three rounds, Yuasa fell to last year’s 106 state cham-pion, Clai Quintanilla of North Central, by pinfall in the 113 final.
Yuasa did his best to smile for photos and attested get-ting to the final round was all he wanted after injuring his knee at last year’s tour-nament, but it was clear the second-place medal was not the one he sought.
“Tonight was the end of my career, I have really mixed emotions about it,” Yuasa said. “It’s kind of nice to be over, but I’m sure I’ll miss it a lot. It was a great way to end in the state finals. It wasn’t what I wanted, but it was still a great place to
finish.”Getting to the 113 final
was no cakewalk, as Yuasa came from behind against Edmonds-Woodway’s Sidat Kanyi. Trailing 10-7 with about 30 seconds to go in the match, Yuasa managed to score a takedown to send the match into overtime. In the extra period, Yuasa took Kanyi down again to claim a 12-10 victory.
“Taylan beat a guy in the semifinals that beat him pretty handily in the semi-finals a couple years ago,” Laughary said. “That was a huge win for him. And then to wrestle a state champ, he just laid it all on the line. That was amazing.”
Seeing the final match-es for two stalwarts on his varsity roster, Laughary stopped just short of calling the moment bittersweet.
“They’re going on to big-ger and better things, great things,” Laughary said. “As high school coaches, this is what we do. We just coach ‘em up every year, and we got a new crop and some guys returning. It’s sad we don’t have those particular guys, but if we did, some-thing would be wrong.”
her team’s showing, noting the Islanders’ nine-year run of finishing no lower than second at the state meet.
“We finished in front of 42 other teams that were here, that is amaz-ing,” Johnson said. “At the beginning of the season, we only had five guys that were returning to the team that had been at state. We have 14 guys here today. I think that that is an amaz-ing accomplishment to get that many extra guys into the meet.”
Mercer Island boasted a state champion in two events, with senior Ian Caldwell winning the 50
and 100 freestyle races. Caldwell registered All-American Consideration times in both, winning the 50 free in 21 seconds and the 100 free in 45.8.
“It felt great,” Caldwell said. “It was great to be with my team because it’s my last year and it was great to spend it with a great group of guys. I think I owe it all to the team, they were the ones that got me here. Chauntelle has been the most excellent coach I’ve had for four years, and she’s the one that’s inspired me to keep swimming and get to where I’ve been today.”
The Islanders were run-ners-up in the 200 and 400 freestyle relay events. The team of Caldwell, Joseph Li,
Oliver Hoff and Ben Gore finished the 200 in 1:27.35, while Gore, Hoff, Andrew Fukuda and Caldwell swam the 400 in 3:11.03. In the 200 medley relay, the team of Christopher Shin, Fukuda, Li and Connor Vacca placed eighth (1:42.61).
Mercer Island had five more swimmers reach the medalist stand in four other events. Gore was fourth (1:58.03) in the 200 IM, while Fukuda placed eighth (2:01.49). Hoff was fourth in the 500 free (4:45.21), Ben Dixon placed fifth in the diving competition (376.8) and Fukuda was fifth in the 100 breaststroke (1:00.28).

Yuen said. “[Lakeside] start-ed playing very well, and we didn’t make adjustments quick enough. But thank-fully, we made adjustments right at the end and we got it done.”
Trailing Mercer Island 16-8 at the break, Lakeside opened the second half with a 7-0 run to turn an eight-point deficit into a 17-16 advantage. Mercer Island responded with four points from Anna Luce and two 3-pointers from Jess Blakeslee to go ahead 27-21, but the Lions managed to close the gap, trailing 27-25 at the end of the third quar-ter.
The Lions kept their momentum going in the fourth, opening with an 8-0 run to take a 33-27 lead midway through the period. Mercer Island responded with eight unanswered
points of its own, with two free throws from Taylor Krause giving the Islanders a 35-33 lead with 1:33 to go in regulation. Lakeside’s Kimijah King, scoring six points in the fourth quarter, managed to draw a trip to the line for a one-in-one with 42 seconds left in regu-lation. King knocked down two free throws to ultimate-ly send the game into over-time, where the Islanders sought redemption.
“Kaela said this was another opportunity for us to win in overtime, espe-cially after losing in over-time against Cleveland,” Blakeslee said.
In the extra time, Lakeside’s Kallin Spiller split one of two free throws to give the Lions a 36-35 advantage, but the Lions wouldn’t score again. Blakeslee answered with a layup, then stole the ball on Lakeside’s ensuing pos-session. Feeding the ball to
Luce and drawing contact, Luce went to the line with just over a minute to go, sinking two free throws to give the Islanders a 39-36 lead. Luce struck again a possession later, extending Mercer Island’s lead to five.
“It was a really big game and a really big moment,” Luce said. “I had confidence in myself and my team that we’d get it done and we did. It was a really exciting moment for us.”
Luce led the Islanders in scoring with 16 points, while Blakeslee had 15.
Mercer Island finished Sea-King 3A district compe-tition with a 55-49 win over Bishop Blanchet Saturday, Feb. 21 at Bellevue College to earn fifth place out of the tournament. Mercer Island (17-9, 8-4) will take on Wilson at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 at Mt. Tahoma High School. The Rams are 20-4 this season.
