With the track season winding down, the battle at the top of the charts is ever more intense.
Even when you slice time off your previous best, every one is coming hard, leading some to drop down in the state-wide standings even though they’re actually running faster than before.
With two regular-season meets left for Coupeville, the Wolves currently have five boys and four girls who sit with one of the 10 best times among all 1A athletes.
Leading the pack are junior Lindsey Roberts and senior Jacob Smith, who each appear three times on the charts.
And, as soon as I post this story, some lollygagging coach or meet official will post a new time or 10,000, and the charts will once again ebb or flow.
But, at this exact moment, 7:36 PM, Sunday, Apr. 22, here’s how Coupeville stacks up against the best of 1A:
Girls:
100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (6th) 15.82 *Same position on charts as before*
4 x 100 Relay — Maya Toomey-Stout, Ashlie Shank, Mallory Kortuem, Lindsey Roberts (10th) 52.72 *Debuts on charts*
4 x 200 Relay — Kortuem, Roberts, Shank, M. Toomey-Stout (9th) 1:51.73 *Down three slots*
Boys:
100 — Jacob Smith (5th) 11.32 *Same position on charts as before*
200 — Smith (7th) 23.26 *Down two slots*
400 — Danny Conlisk (6th) 51.97 *Down one slot*
4 x 100 — Jean Lund-Olsen, Smith, Sean Toomey-Stout, Cameron Toomey-Stout (10th) 45.34 *Down two slots*
