Plus one.
The Coupeville High School track and field squad emerged from the first round of the postseason — Saturday’s Olympic League All-Division Championships — in fine fashion.
The Wolves were the top 1A team in both the girls and boys team battles, while getting one of the state’s best performances from senior pole vaulter Jordan Ford.
He soared 12-6, shattering his own school record, while putting himself back up among the best 1A vaulters in 2016.
That means Coupeville has athletes in the top 10 in eight different categories heading into next week’s sub-district meet.
Makana Stone jumped four spots in the 400, Jacob Smith edged up two slots in the 200 and the girls 4 x 200 remained #1 in 1A, while dropping its time slightly.
Wolves who have one of this year’s 10 best performances in 1A:
Girls:
400 — Makana Stone (2nd in 1A) 58.55
800 — Stone (7th in 1A) 2:21.89
4 x 100 — Lauren Grove, Lindsey Roberts, Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt (5th in 1A) 51.10
4 x 200 — Grove, Roberts, Hurlburt, Stone (1st in 1A) 1:46.90
Boys:
200 — Jacob Smith (7th in 1A) 23.01
300 hurdles — Lathom Kelley (4th in 1A) 41.48
Discus — Dalton Martin (3rd in 1A) 158-05
Pole Vault — Jordan Ford (9th in 1A) 12-6
