32 straight wins and 4 school records (after strong soccer and basketball seasons) and Makana Stone ISN’T the CHS Female Athlete of the Year? Right… (John Fisken photo)

It was the season of the girls.
Coupeville High School had some standout boys on its track and field team, with sprinter Josiah Campbell missing state by only a photo finish, but most of the excitement arrived via the girls.
The Wolf females sent six athletes to state, smashed five school records and had four First Team All-Conference picks. Plus, Makana Stone went out and won her first 32 races as a freshman, which no Wolf had ever come close to doing.
When it was all over, veteran CHS track guru Randy King was pleased with what transpired and excited for a future that looks (possibly) even more impressive.
While the Wolves will lose state meet super stars Madison Tisa McPhee and Jai’Lysa Hoskins to graduation, much of the team, including perhaps the best group of female freshmen ever to gather at CHS (Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt, Kirsten Pelroy) could return.
“Madison was our leader and she will be missed!,” King said. “Hopefully, the experience of our girls at state will set us up for a “running start to next year’s season.
“Our boys team should make some advances next year as our frosh and newcomers put their experience and growth together,” he added. “Josiah Campbell is still just learning, and while he just missed state this year, I’m confident he will make it next! Nick Streubel leads a group of fairly talented throwers that should make their mark as well.”
