One by one, they fall.
School track records are set to be broken, but this year it feels like more are falling at Coupeville High School than at any time in recent memory.
With a pack of incredibly talented freshman girls teaming up with some seasoned pros, another mark seems to bite the dust every other meet.
Running at the Cascade Conference League Meet in Seattle Thursday, Wolf girls shattered three school marks.
Two were actually re-breakings, as Makana Stone lowered her time in the 200, a week after she busted a mark that had stood since 2005, and the 4 x 200 team went berserk.
That squad (Stone, fellow frosh Sylvia Hurlburt and seniors Madison Tisa McPhee and Jai’Lysa Hoskins) broke the school mark earlier in the season, but went several steps better Thursday. Not only did they lower their own mark, they set the fastest time in 1A this season.
The third mark to fall came in the 4 x 400, when Hoskins, Stone, freshman Kirsten Pelroy and sophomore Marisa Etzell ran a 4:15.92, four seconds better than their previous season best and shattering the school mark of 4:17.09.
And guess what? There are still three meets left (districts, tri-districts and state).
Better use pencil when you’re writing in the new school records, and keep an eraser nearby.
