Matt Shank, seen here launching the javelin in an early-season meet, competed in the high jump Saturday.
Makana Stone is sprinting back to Cheney.
The Coupeville High School sophomore shattered her school record in the 400 — again — Saturday at Tri-Districts in Shoreline and will advance to the state 1A/2B/1B meet for a second straight season.
Facing off with Maya Jackson of Northwest and Anna Parker of King’s, the trio waged an epic war at Woolsey Stadium, throwing down the three fastest times run by 1A girls this season.
Jackson won the race in 57.23 seconds, edging her fellow tenth graders. Parker (57.98) was an eyelash ahead of Stone (58.13).
The rematch will come May 30-31, and Stone’s sole focus will be on besting her rivals, as she narrowly failed to advance in her other event, the 200.
She placed seventh in 26.74, missing out on a state berth by two spots.
Stone will be running at state in an individual event for the first time.
She competed as a member of Coupeville’s 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay teams as a freshman, claiming an 8th place medal in the second race.
The only other Wolves to participate on the second day of Tri-Districts were senior shot put hurler Nick Streubel and junior high jumper Matt Shank.
Streubel placed eighth, heaving the ball 45 feet, 4.75 inches, while Shank soared an even five feet to claim 16th.
