Coupeville’s Makana Stone was one of six student/athletes honored recently by Whitman College.
The former Wolf, who is headed into her senior year at the Walla Walla school, and her compatriots were hailed at the fourth annual fall awards picnic.
Whitman’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which is made up of current athletes, chose two top performers each from last year’s freshman, sophomore, and junior classes.
The picnic was a way to bring together athletes from all 15 Blues varsity sports programs, while also including the incoming freshmen recruiting classes.
A barbecue was served and Whitman’s new Athletic Director, Kim Chandler, made her debut at the event.
The winners from the 2018-2019 school year:
Freshmen:
Bella White (swim)
Michael Chang (swim)
Sophomores:
Sage Ali (lacrosse)
Peter Sephens (soccer)
Juniors:
Makana Stone (basketball)
Travis Craven (baseball)
Whitman women’s basketball kicks off a new season with an exhibition game Nov. 2 in Ellensburg against Central Washington University.
The first game to count in the win/loss standings arrives Nov. 15 when the Blues host Concordia University during the 2019 Whit Classic.
