The Wolf ace launched his implement 117 feet, two inches, thoroughly besting his top mark from his freshman campaign of 110-02.

There’s a few more stops left on the journey.

While the state track and field championships wrapped up Saturday in Yakima, three Coupeville throwers headed to Olympia Sunday for the Washington State High School Hammer Championships.

The event, which is not sanctioned by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, drew 52 chuckers to the Evergreen State College.

Wolf junior Katie Marti finished 18th in the girls’ competition, nailing a PR of 80 feet, 11 inches, while senior Erica McGrath was 21st at 63-11.

On the boys’ side, junior Mason Butler claimed 23rd, launching a throw of 78-06, almost five feet better than his previous PR.

Kimberly Beard of King’s and Dylan Gilliland of Tumwater took home top honors.

And there’s still one more track event ahead on the schedule, as Coupeville junior Lyla Stuurmans is slated to compete in the heptathlon May 31-June 1 at the Washington State Combined Events Championship.

That all-star showdown goes down at Lake Stevens High School.
