He’s on the prowl.
Fresh off earning three medals at the state track and field championships, Coupeville High School senior Aidan Wilson is back out there, kickin’ fanny and takin’ names.
This time around, he’s competing in the 51st annual Dennis McDonald Multi Events State Championship.
The two-day event, which runs Friday and Saturday at Lake Stevens High School, features a 10-event decathlon for male competitors and a heptathlon for females.
At the midpoint of the meet, Wilson sits in 5th place, out of 32 athletes vying in the decathlon.
The multitalented Wolf has racked up 2,968 points through five events, while six-time state champ Tomeko Cates, a junior at Mary Walker, tops the standings with 3,608.
Wilson ran the 100 in 11.97 seconds Friday, hurled the shot put 35 feet, 6.5 inches, and hit the tape in the 400 in 54.01.
He also cleared 5-06.50 in the high jump and 19-10.75 in the long jump.
Saturday’s schedule includes the 110 hurdles, the discus, pole vault, and javelin, as well as the 1500.
