Camas diver falls short of anticipated top-four finish

FEDERAL WAY — Columbia River’s Kara Noftsker has battled asthma her entire life, yet the senior has been able to manage it and not let it slow her down.

But the 200 freestyle turned out to be too much as Noftsker struggled to find her breath after placing third in a time of 1 minute, 55.24 seconds at the Class 2A-1A state swimming championship on Saturday.
