Simply the best (in the state)!!

May 2, 2013 by David Svien

Wolves and Falcons unite, as CHS hurdler Madison Tisa McPhee, left, and South Whidbey’s splendid distance runner Lillianna Stelling celebrate their mutual awesomeness.

There may be no stopping them.

Repping the red and black of the smallest school in the eight-team 1A/2A league, the four girls who make up Coupeville High School’s 4 x 200 relay team didn’t just win their event at the Cascade Conference League Meet Thursday in Seattle.

They didn’t just re-break their own school record.

They ran the single fastest time in 1A this season (1:47.51), setting themselves up as the favorites as the Wolves head to sub-districts, tri-districts and state.

Seniors Madison Tisa McPhee and Jai’Lysa Hoskins and freshmen Sylvia Hurlburt and Makana Stone are like gunfighters throwing open saloon doors and watching everyone flee from in front of their steely gazes.

And while the Wolves may not have the raw numbers to compete for a team title (the girls finished sixth, the boys eighth), Coupeville made an impact at Woolsey Stadium.

Stone blitzed to wins in the 100 and 200 (where she set a PR), crushing a group of runners from King’s who were supposed to give her trouble, then ran legs on two winning relay teams. She has now won an astounding 32 times in her first year.

Hot on her heels was Tisa McPhee, who swept both hurdles events and now has 21 wins on the season.

The 4 x 200 squad wasn’t the only quick Wolf relay team, as the 4 x 400 unit claimed the 7th fastest time in 1A this season and the 4 x 100 notched the 8th fastest time.

While the short races got the buzz, Wolf sophomore Erin Rosenkranz delivered the biggest time drop of the day, slicing off an amazing 26 seconds from her best time in the 3200.
