Day two was all about PRs.

While the Coupeville High School track squad didn’t add any more state qualifiers Saturday during the wrap-up of the District III meet at North Mason, the Wolves did set a string of top marks.

Six of the 10 CHS athletes who competed during day two put up the best time or throw of their high school careers.

Throwers Dalton Martin (shot put) and Skyler Lawrence (discus) both finished third Saturday, missing state by a single slot.

The duo had already qualified in different events Friday, with Martin winning the discus and Lawrence beating the field in the shot put.

The two, along with Makana Stone (400) and the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 girls’ relay squads (Stone, Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove) will head to Cheney May 29-30.

Complete Day 2 results:

Girls:

200 — Makana Stone (4th) 27.29; Sylvia Hurlburt (5th) 27.39 *PR*; Marisa Etzell (8th) 28.49

The best go first.

Tee times for the 1A state girls’ golf tourney have been announced, and Christine Fields will tee off with the first group during round one Wednesday, May 27.

The Coupeville High School senior, who is making her fourth consecutive trip to the big dance, finished fifth as a junior.

Her partners on the tee at 11:22 AM at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco will be defending champ Lauryn Keating of Elma and Hannah Roh of King’s, who finished fourth in 2014.

The trio are the top three returning finishers from last year’s tourney.

Day two tee times will be determined by the order of finish in round one, with the leaders going off the tee last as they pursue a title.

Fields has made the cut at each of her previous three appearances at state.

Four of her traveling/training partners from South Whidbey will be in Pasco for a reunion with the Lone Wolf.

Falcon duffers Tarra Moore (11:30 tee time), Kolby Heggenes (11:54), Grace Stringer (12:02) and Rosie Portillo (12:18) all qualified.

Portillo, who finished sixth last year, two strokes behind Fields, is the only returnee among the South Whidbey players.

There is a road on Whidbey, a bad-ass road on which rodeo champions are produced.

Coupeville High School grads Madison Tisa McPhee and Brendan Coleman, who both hail from the same Greenbank cul-de-sac, have been tearing it up as rodeo stars for Central Washington University.

The duo and their teammates have hit the road for events in Walla Walla, Spokane and Ellensburg and just wrapped the season in Hermiston, Oregon.

Tisa McPhee, an accomplished barrel racer, added break-away roping and goat-tying  to her bag of tricks this year.

She placed seventh in overall women’s events at a big two-day Ellensburg event in late April and her CWU squad claimed second as a team at regionals and now advances to nationals.

Coleman operates as a heeler in team roping and claimed second place in Ontario and fifth at Spokane this season.

He was ranked ninth overall in the region in the event.

With the college season done, he’ll be back at it training and competing with fellow CHS grad Cody West this summer.

Tisa McPhee will be busy as well, with nationals in Wyoming in July and summer events for the Whidbey Western Gaming Association.

Both former Wolves had success early on away from the horse arena.

Coleman played for the 2010 Central Whidbey Little League baseball squad that won a state title, while Tisa McPhee snagged a ton ‘o medals as a hurdler and sprinter for the CHS track team.

Skyler

   Skyler Lawrence was back on the victory stand Friday, but this time she was on top of the podium after winning a district title in the shot put.

The trip to the state track meet was a lonely one for Makana Stone last year.

This year she’ll have plenty of company.

Stone, who finished second in the 400 last year as a sophomore, will be going back to Cheney for a third straight year, and this time she’ll be taking a bunch of teammates with her.

Six Wolves punched tickets to the 1A state meet with their performances Friday at districts, and there’s still a full day of competition ahead.

The two-day District III meet, held at North Mason High School, wraps up Saturday.

In day one, Wolf throwers Dalton Martin (discus) and Skyler Lawrence (shot put) won district titles, with both setting PRs with their throws.

Stone claimed second in the 400 and both of the relay teams she is running on — the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 — finished second as well with season-best times.

She’s joined on both squads by Sylvia Hurlburt, Marisa Etzell and Lauren Grove.

Top two finishes earn a berth to state.

At the half-way point, Coupeville is fourth in the girls’ team standings and seventh in the boys.

Cascade Christian and Port Townsend hold the leads currently.

Complete Day 1 results:

Girls:

100 — Sylvia Hurlburt (4th) 13.53

400 — Makana Stone (2nd) 59.18

4 x 100 Relay — Lauren Grove, Hurlburt, Stone, Marisa Etzell (2nd) 51.40

4 x 200 Relay — Grove, Hurlburt, Stone, Etzell (2nd) 1:48.73

Shot Put — Skyler Lawrence (1st) 30-05 *PR*

High Jump — Lauren Bayne (6th) 4-02

Boys:

110 Hurdles — Jesse Hester (8th) 20.73

Discus — Dalton Martin (1st) 139-01 *PR*
