Oval life will keep them together.

Coupeville grads Ja’Tarya Hoskins and Mallory Kortuem are attending different colleges, but NCAA D-II track and field meets keep bringing them to the same stadiums.

Saturday, the former Wolves, who share a CHS school record in the 4 x 100 relay, competed at the Peyton-Shotwell Invitational in Tacoma.

And they did so in the same race, both lining up for the 400.

Kortuem, a freshman at Western Washington University, placed 6th in one minute, 4.27 seconds, while Hoskins, a frosh at Saint Martin’s University, claimed 12th in 1:15.15.

The duo both compete in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, and may come up against each other again before their debut season ends.

WWU is scheduled to host the Ralph Vernacchia Track and Field Meet next Saturday, May 1, and Saint Martin’s is among the schools planning to attend.

Faster each time out.

Coupeville grad Mallory Kortuem ran at her third college track and field meet Saturday, exiting with a college PR in the 400.

The Western Washington University freshman hit the tape in one minute, 3.31 seconds, shattering her previous best by 0.40 of a second.

Kortuem was competing at the John Knight Twilight in Monmouth, Oregon.

The meet, held at McArthur Stadium, was hosted by Western Oregon University.

With her speedy time, Kortuem claimed fifth in the 400, grabbing four points for her WWU team.

Next up for Western is a trip to Ellensburg April 16-17, for a meet hosted by Central Washington University.

During her time in Coupeville, Kortuem, younger sister of Keegan and Miranda, was a standout soccer and track star.

Mallory holds at least part of four school records (400, pole vault, 4 x 100, 4 x 200), and brought home four medals from the state track meet, including a 2nd place finish in the 400 as a junior.

She was denied a bid at a state title when the pandemic erased her senior season, but has picked right back up at being brilliant, just now as an NCAA D-II athlete.
