“The Franchise” is in awards-winning mode.
Coupeville High School sophomore Lyla Stuurmans was honored Thursday by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, named as an Athlete of the Week winner.
Each week during the school year, the WIAA and Gesa Credit Union hail a male and female athlete from each classification (4A-1B) in the state.
Stuurmans, who competes for the 2B Wolves, was honored for her performance at last weekend’s District 1/2 Track and Field Championships in Coupeville.
Running wild on her home oval, the oldest of Scott and Sarah’s four children claimed three titles and will advance to the state meet in all of them.
Lyla won the 400 and 800, then ran the anchor leg on a triumphant 4 x 400 relay squad.
A three-sport star who also plays volleyball (school and club) and has been a varsity basketball starter since she was in 8th grade, Stuurmans has won 15 times this track season, spread across four events.
