Reunited in different uniforms.
Coupeville High School grads Mallory Kortuem and Ja’Tarya Hoskins share a spot on their alma mater’s track and field record board, part of the fastest-ever Wolf 4 x 100 girls relay team.
Saturday, the duo found themselves sharing a different stage, as they competed as NCAA D-II college athletes.
Kortuem, repping Western Washington University, and Hoskins, running for Saint Martin’s University, both were at the Ed Boitano Invitational at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma.
The former Wolves even went so far as to compete in the same race.
Kortuem hit the tape in the 200 in 28.28 seconds, an eyelash ahead of Hoskins, who clocked a 28.42.
That was a college PR for both of them.
Pulling double duty on the day, Kortuem came back around to claim 4th in the 400, with her time of 1:03.71 a second college PR.
The WWU women claimed second place in the team standings, out of eight schools, while Saint Martin’s finished fourth.
Western is back at it April 3, when Kortuem and Co. host the WWU Invitational in Bellingham.
Hoskins and Saint Martin’s next compete April 9-10, when they travel back to Tacoma to square off with Pacific Lutheran University.
