All five pickleball players from Port Townsend who took part in the Washington State Senior Games in Lakewood won gold medals in their respective age and skill divisions.

Lynn Pierle, one of the PT players, explained divisions with four or fewer entries went into a round robin format, while those with five or more entries were sorted into bracket play.

“Bracket play usually involves more games,” Pierle said. “The skill ranges from 3.0 to 5.0, with 5.0 being the 'pro' level, and they often combined skill levels.”

The State Senior Games' Pickleball Tournament ran Aug. 4-5, at Clover Park High School in Lakewood, with Pierle, Bob Bruns, Jeannie Ramsey, Rick Kelley and Doug Warren representing Port Townsend.

When asked what got her and her Port Townsend teammates into pickleball in the first place, Pierle credited the Mountain View YMCA playing an “instrumental” role in helping to grow the sport locally. (Read More)
