As March fades into April, two Wolves are favorites for state track titles.
Coupeville High School senior Danny Conlisk and junior Jean Lund-Olsen currently top all 1A runners in the 400 and 200, respectively.
The duo headline a group of nine Wolves who appear in the Top 10 of at least one event.
Conlisk and fellow senior Lindsey Roberts appear in a team-best four categories, while Lund-Olsen and Mallory Kortuem show up three times apiece.
While everyone’s first inclination is to look at the front-runners, the most impressive showing might be coming from Roberts.
Everyone knew she was a superior hurdler and relay runner, but she picked up a new event this week, taking on the high jump.
Presto, a week in and two meets down, and Lou is #10 in 1A.
Plus, having already hit four feet, 11 inches, Roberts is just three inches off the school record of 5-02, set 20 years ago by Yashmeen Knox.
