They are like three gunfighters, circling each other.
Maya Jackson of Northwest, Anna Parker of King’s and Makana Stone of Coupeville have had the three fastest times among 1A girls in the 400 all season, and nothing changed Friday.
Running in the prelims at the state track meet in Cheney, the trio of sophomores went 1-2-3, setting up a showdown for a state title Saturday.
Jackson (58.25 seconds) and Stone (59.35) ran together in Heat 1 Friday, while Parker (59.54) headlined Heat 2.
All three were slightly off their season bests, holding back just a bit as they eased through the first day. No other runner broke a minute.
On the season, their best marks are 57.23 (Jackson), 57.98 (Parker) and 58.13 (Stone). The school record holder in the event, Stone has steadily brought her time down each meet this season.
