Her days are busy.
Coupeville High School junior Lyla Stuurmans is putting a cap on her track and field season by competing in the heptathlon at the Washington State Combined Events Championship this weekend.
The meet, held at Lake Stevens High School, began Friday and ends Saturday, with seven different events in play.
Stuurmans competed in the 100 hurdles, high jump, shot put, and 200 during day one, with the long jump, javelin, and 800 slated for the finale.
She set a PR in the hurdles, hitting the tape in 21.06 seconds, and tied her PR in the 200 at 29.19.
It was that kind of day for Stuurmans, who lobbed the shot put 23 feet, 00.75 inches in her debut in the event, while narrowly missing her PR in the high jump, clearing the bar at 4-03.25.
“The Franchise” is the second Wolf in as many years to compete in the combined events championship.
She’s following in the footsteps of Aidan Wilson, who finished 7th in the decathlon last spring.
