She finished the only way she knows how — setting a PR.
Coupeville High School grad Mallory Kortuem capped her first season of college track Friday in Monmouth, Oregon, competing at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships.
Running in the 400, the Western Washington University freshman hit the line in one minute, 3.07 seconds, beating her previous collegiate best of 1:03.31.
Competing at the NCAA D-II level, Kortuem ran in six meets between March and May, performing five times in the 400, three in the 200, and once in the 4 x 400 relay.
Her college PR’s for the latter two events are 28.28, set at the Ed Boitano Invitational, and 4:17.00, accomplished at the Ralph Vernacchia Invitational.
Kortuem was a standout soccer and track athlete during her days in Coupeville, and still holds school records in the 400, pole vault, 4 x 100, and 4 x 200.
