Something rare is going to happen today.
No, not the rain. That happens every dang day someone refers to this as “spring” and Mother Nature laughs and laughs and laughs…
The singular event in question is the one and only home Coupeville High School track meet of the season, as the Wolves welcome Island arch-rival South Whidbey to Mickey Clark Field for a 4 PM royal rumble.
Local track aficionados can witness the wonder that is freshman Makana Stone, as she takes her 18-0 record once more onto the track. Unbeaten in sprints and relays, she is off to what is believed to be the best start to a career EVER by a Wolf runner.
Hot on her heels is senior Madison Tisa McPhee, back from Hawaii, rested and tanned and ready to resume her beat-down of anyone foolish enough to line up next to her in the hurdles. Unbeaten in hurdles and relays this season, she is cruising towards a repeat visit to the state meet.
Along with the big duo, there are tons of other story-lines to play out, from thrower Nick Streubel vanquishing his foes to whether any of the staples will pop out of fellow thrower Caleb Valko’s head if he flexes too much for his fan club.
Plus, Wolf coach Randy King will be on the mike, announcing events in his velvet baritone. So there’s that, too.
