The Seattle curling team skippered by Mark Johnson came from behind twice Saturday night to win their first match of pool play at the U.S. Olympic Curling Trials in Broomfield, Colo.
Johnson, who was born in Walla Walla but lives in Edmonton, let his team to an 8-4 win over Christopher Plys’ Minnesota Team.
The two other teams based out of Seattle’ Granite Curling Club didn’t fair as well Saturday.
Greg Romaniuk’s rink lost 8-5 to John Shuster’s Minnesota Team. Cristin Clark of Lynnwood lost 11-6 to Cassie Potter’s team from Minnesota.
All three local teams play twice Sunday. The nine-game round-robin tournaments are followed by a two-day playoff. The winners will be determined Feb. 28 and become the first Americans to qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Cristin Clark of Lynnwood got off to a rough start today at the Olymic curling trails in Broomfield, Colo.
Clark’s team lost 11-6 to Cassie Potter’s team from Minnesota in the first of nine pool play matches. Clark’s team plays two matches Sunday.
Mark Johnson and Greg Romaniuk’s Seattle teams are both losing their first matches at the moment, but it’s still early in both matches.
