She’s official.
Coupeville grad Ja’Tarya Hoskins made her college track and field debut Saturday, competing for NCAA D-II Saint Martin’s University at the PLU Opener in Tacoma.
The former Wolf finished 9th in the 200, crossing the line in 28.86 seconds, which beats her high school PR.
The meet, the first Saint Martin’s has attended in a year thanks to the pandemic, also featured Seattle Pacific University, the University of Puget Sound, and host Pacific Lutheran University.
Hoskins, a freshman who is studying pre-law, is next set to compete March 20, when Saint Martin’s travels to Seattle Pacific.
During her days at CHS, she was a key part of two teams which went to state.
In their first year back as a competitive squad after a six-year break, the Wolf cheer squad claimed 3rd place at the big dance during her junior season.
She and her teammates then qualified for nationals the next year.
On the track oval, Hoskins teamed with Mallory Kortuem, Maya Toomey-Stout, and Lindsey Roberts to place 5th at state in the 4 x 100 relay.
The quartet hit the tape in 50.54 seconds, and they currently sit on the big board in the CHS gym as school record-holders.
