They are the face (and feet) of Wolf track.

While every meet provides its own highlights, with PR’s and unexpected, thrilling performances (Rachel Wenzel beating South Whidbey’s unstoppable force of nature Angelina Berger in the javelin), it is Madison Tisa McPhee and Makana Stone who are the standard-bearers for Coupeville High School this season.

Stone, a freshman, is 25-0 and currently ranked in the Top 10 in District 1 in six different events. Tisa McPhee, a senior, has won 17 times (while missing one meet due to a vacation) and is also ranked in the Top 10 in six events, including having the #1 time in the 100 hurdles (9th best in the state for 1A runners).

Tisa McPhee also has the fourth fastest time in the 300 hurdles and fifth best performance in the high jump, while Stone hits in the 100 (4th), 200 (3rd) and 400 (4th).

Both girls are part of three Wolf relay teams that are highly ranked, as well.

The 4 x 100 (4th), 4 x 200 (2nd in District 1, 5th in the state) and 4 x 400 (3rd in the district, 7th in the state), which also include, in various formations, senior Jai’Lysa Hoskins, freshman Sylvia Hurlburt and sophomore Marisa Etzell, are all in the mix for post-season honors.

Hoskins (6th in the 100), Hurlburt (9th in the 200) and junior Heni Barnes (10th in the shot put) round out the Wolf girls currently holding spots in District 1’s Top Ten.

On the boys side, junior Josiah Campbell is The Man, with four Top 10 performances. He is 7th in the triple jump, 10th in the high jump and runs a leg on both the 4 x 100 (6th) and 4 x 400 (8th).

Senior Sam Landau (4 x 100, 4 x 400) and juniors Brandon Kelley (8th in the 300 hurdles, 4 x 100) and Nick Streubel (4th in the discus, 8th in the shot put) each have two Top 10 performances to their credit.

Freshmen Lathom Kelley (4 x 100) and Jared Helmstadter (4 x 400) and sophomore Matthew Hampton (4 x 400) also have their names on the current leader-board.
