Andre Stone
Before Makana Stone, there was Andre Stone, and he was quick.
Maybe not as quick as his sister (who is?), but still able to put one foot in front of the other faster than most people.
The Coupeville High School grad, who was a talented soccer player during his time in the red and black, was the fastest runner from Coupeville Saturday (and 2nd of 164 runners) in the Whidbey Island 5K. The event was the lead-in to Sunday’s Whidbey Island Marathon.
Stone dueled with James Sandoral of Colorado Springs for the title, with the 29-year-old interloper edging the 19-year-old pride of Whidbey by 13 seconds.
Sandoral clocked in at 20 minutes, 31 seconds, while Stone hit the tape at 20:44. The third-place finisher was nearly four minutes off their pace.
