Boom, baby!
Throwing down in the heat of Cheney Saturday at the 1A state track meet, Coupeville High School sophomore Makana Stone claimed second-place in an ultra-competitive 400.
Crossing the finish line in 58.65 seconds, Stone beat her arch-rival, fellow sophomore Anna Parker of King’s (59.75), to be officially anointed as the fastest female runner out of the Cascade Conference.
Stone had been in third, Parker second after Friday’s prelims.
Sophomore Maya Jackson of Northwest, who has been the fastest 400 runner in 1A all season, narrowly held on for the title, edging Stone by less than half a second at 58.23.
It was the second medal in as many seasons for Stone.
As a freshman, she ran a leg on a 4 x 200 relay squad with Madison Tisa McPhee, Sylvia Hurlburt and Jai’Lysa Hoskins that finished fifth at state.
