Boom, baby!

Throwing down in the heat of Cheney Saturday at the 1A state track meet, Coupeville High School sophomore Makana Stone claimed second-place in an ultra-competitive 400.

Crossing the finish line in 58.65 seconds, Stone beat her arch-rival, fellow sophomore Anna Parker of King’s (59.75), to be officially anointed as the fastest female runner out of the Cascade Conference.

Stone had been in third, Parker second after Friday’s prelims.

Sophomore Maya Jackson of Northwest, who has been the fastest 400 runner in 1A all season, narrowly held on for the title, edging Stone by less than half a second at 58.23.

It was the second medal in as many seasons for Stone.

As a freshman, she ran a leg on a 4 x 200 relay squad with Madison Tisa McPhee, Sylvia Hurlburt and Jai’Lysa Hoskins that finished fifth at state.

The gunfighter.

They are like three gunfighters, circling each other.

Maya Jackson of Northwest, Anna Parker of King’s and Makana Stone of Coupeville have had the three fastest times among 1A girls in the 400 all season, and nothing changed Friday.

Running in the prelims at the state track meet in Cheney, the trio of sophomores went 1-2-3, setting up a showdown for a state title Saturday.

Jackson (58.25 seconds) and Stone (59.35) ran together in Heat 1 Friday, while Parker (59.54) headlined Heat 2.

All three were slightly off their season bests, holding back just a bit as they eased through the first day. No other runner broke a minute.

On the season, their best marks are 57.23 (Jackson), 57.98 (Parker) and 58.13 (Stone). The school record holder in the event, Stone has steadily brought her time down each meet this season.

Nick Streubel and Breeanna Messner have a lot in common.

They’re both Coupeville High School seniors who play three sports (four for Messner, if you count cheer, which I do no matter what the school says).

They’re both smart, hard-working, outgoing, quiet team leaders who get more accomplished with a few words than a lot of over-the-top screaming.

Through tough times and great success, they both remain on an even keel and are the very epitome of what you hope a student/athlete will be.

And now, regardless of the passage of time, they will always share wall space in the hallway of the CHS gym after being honored as the 2013-2014 Athlete of the Year winners.

Messner was a team captain in volleyball, basketball and softball, sports she played all four years as a Wolf.

She missed the awards night to be with her softball team in Richland, where CHS will play in the state tournament for the first time in 12 seasons starting Friday.

Streubel was a First-Team All-State player as a football lineman (the only player from the 1A/2A Cascade Conference to be honored), anchored the boys’ basketball team at center and threw shot put and discus for the Wolf track squad.

By winning the school’s highest athletic honor, they join a list of Wolf greats that includes names such as Megan Smith, Ashley Ellsworth-Bagby, Brad Sherman and Jennie Cross.

The awards, handed out Thursday night, were the big ones, but several other Wolf athletes took home other honors.

Senior Ben Etzell (tennis, baseball) and junior Madeline Strasburg (volleyball, basketball, softball) were honored by the Marine Corps with their Distinguished Athlete Award.

Seniors Brett Arnold (football, soccer) and Amanda Fabrizi (volleyball, basketball) received The United States Army Reserve Scholar/Athlete Award.

Messner and fellow senior Jake Tumblin (football, baseball) brought home the Cliff Gillies Award, which is named in honor of the former head of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

Coupeville Middle School seventh graders Reed Richards and Lindsey Roberts continued their torrid track seasons Wednesday, winning events at Day 1 of the Cascade Conference Championships in Shoreline.

Richards went nuclear, dropping 11 seconds off of her personal record to out-duel Mary Carbajal of Sultan and win the finals of the 800 by nearly a second. Third place was a whopping 17 seconds off of Richards‘ pace.

It has been a spring to remember.

As the smallest 1A school in the state, Coupeville High School has overcome the odds at every step, sending athletes to the state tournament in (count ’em!) five sports.

Wolf baseball has been, girls’ golf (Christine Fields) is there right now and track (Makana Stone), softball and boys’ tennis (Ben Etzell and Aaron Curtin) all hit the road Thursday morning for the trek to various locales in Eastern Washington.

It’s been six years since baseball made it this far, 12 for softball and Etzell and Curtin are the first boys’ tennis players to go to the big dance during Ken Stange’s run as CHS tennis coach.

Enjoy it while it happens. Spring 2014 — one pleasant surprise after another.
