Some Wolves saved their best for last.
Competing Monday in Silverdale at the Olympic League JV Championships, four Coupeville High School track stars set a pair of personal bests.
Emma Smith, Ashlie Shank, Dominic Dausey and Ariah Bepler recorded two PRs apiece, part of a team-wide run of 10 on the day, at an event known as the “last chance qualifier.”
With all 11 Olympic League teams (seven 2A and four 1A schools) in attendance, athletes had a final chance to nail a time or throw which would qualify them for next weekend’s sub-district meet at Bremerton.
To gain entry to that event you have to be in the top eight for your event among all 1A athletes in the league.
From there, athletes have the chance to advance on to districts and state.
While Monday’s meet was mostly about individual achievement, team scores were kept, with Klahowya taking the boys title and the Eagles tying with Port Townsend for the girls title.
Coupeville, which had one of the smallest rosters in attendance, still did well, claiming fifth of 11 teams in the boys battle and 7th for the girls.
The Wolves were led by three second-place finishes, with Alexxis Otto (shot put), Jakobi Baumann (3200) and Bepler (long jump) besting most of the field.
