Makana Stone can beat you a billion ways.

So far this spring, the fleet-footed Coupeville High School junior has chosen to focus on five ways, with her performances in each of those events putting her among the 13 best among all 1A competitors.

Stone sits third in the 400 and ninth in the 200, while helping anchor relay teams that currently have the second, fourth and thirteenth fastest times.

Her five top times puts her atop the Wolf team, but Sylvia Hurlburt, Marisa Etzell and Lauren Grove are hot on her heels, all boasting four Top-50 performances.

On the boys side, Lathom Kelley and Dalton Martin lead the way with three Top-50 finishes each.

Where the Wolves currently rank among all 1A track and field athletes (through four of nine regular season meets):
