Rachel Wenzel (far right), seen here with fellow track stars (l to r) Anna Bailey, Heni Barnes and Marisa Etzell, closed her track career with a PR Thursday.
It was a chance she didn’t expect to get, so Rachel Wenzel made it count.
After qualifying for tri-districts at the last second, the Coupeville High School senior capped her track career by setting a PR in the javelin Thursday at King’s.
Her throw of 88 feet, nine inches was nearly a foot longer than she had ever thrown in her three years of competing in the red and black and placed her 14th.
Wenzel’s performance was one of just two by CHS athletes in a final Thursday, as the two-day, 25-team tri-district meet has most of its finals Saturday.
Joining her Thursday was junior Josiah Campbell, who placed 13th in the triple jump. The top six advance to state.
Based on their times in the prelims, hurdler Madison Tisa McPhee (100 and 300 hurdles) and both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 girls’ relay teams are on target to make the cut for Cheney.
