One day in, and Mad Dawg has them exactly where she wants them.
Staring down what might have been the final day of her high school track career Friday, Coupeville High School senior Madison Tisa McPhee instead lived to run another time, qualifying for the finals in two of her three events at the 1B/2B/1A state championships in Cheney.
Tisa McPhee had the third-fastest time of the day in her premium event — the 100 hurdles — while running a leg on the Wolf 4 x 200 squad, which grabbed the final spot in Saturday’s showcase.
The top eight times in each event advanced to the final, with Tisa McPhee being eliminated in the 300 hurdles. Also falling just short was Coupeville’s 4 x 100 relay team.
Mad Dawg finished 8th at state in the 100 hurdles as a sophomore. Saturday, she’ll have one final run to make personal-best history.
Complete Friday prelims results:
100 hurdles — Madison Tisa McPhee (3rd) 16.75
300 hurdles — Tisa McPhee (12th) 49.91
4 x 100 — Jai’Lysa Hoskins, Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt, Makana Stone (11th) 52.09
