One showdown happened, the other didn’t.
Coupeville High School junior thrower Nick Streubel went toe-to-toe with King’s senior Mason Friedline Thursday at a four-team meet in Sultan and almost knocked off the best in the league, with both hurlers setting PR’s.
Across the track, Wolf freshman Makana Stone never saw the only girl faster than her this year, King’s Anna Parker, and had to content herself with merely winning three more races. Her eventual bout with Parker will have to wait until the postseason, it seems.
Now 17-1 as a high schooler, after sweeping the 100 and 400 (in which she nailed a PR) and running a leg on a victorious 4 x 400 relay squad, Stone finally discovered what it feels like not to finish first.
Missing speed demon Madison Tisa McPhee, who is on vacation in Hawaii, the Coupeville 4 x 200 relay team finished third.
Still, Stone was the biggest scorer for the Wolves and was joined on the victory stand by fellow frosh Sylvia Hurlburt, who blazed to her first individual win at CHS, claiming the 200 with a PR. A four-time winner as a relay runner, she was nearly a second faster than the best Cedarcrest, King’s and Sultan could throw at her.
She also now owns family bragging rights, as older brother Larry, who graduated in 2012, went to state in the 400 but never finished higher than 2nd in an individual race.
Another freshman following in her brother’s quick steps — Kirsten Pelroy — also became a winner for the first time Thursday, running a leg on the 4 x 400. Mitch Pelroy won 28 times in his stellar career as a Wolf.
While no Wolf boy won an event Thursday, the battle to watch was Streubel vs. Friedline, as they went one-two in both of their events.
The duo, who faced off as linemen in football and then on the basketball court, pushed each other to PR’s in the discus, with Friedline nipping his younger rival by an inch.
Streubel, who smashed his discus mark by more than five feet, also set a new mark in the shot put, where he went a foot-and-a-half beyond his best previous effort.
