Boom, baby!

Throwing down in the heat of Cheney Saturday at the 1A state track meet, Coupeville High School sophomore Makana Stone claimed second-place in an ultra-competitive 400.

Crossing the finish line in 58.65 seconds, Stone beat her arch-rival, fellow sophomore Anna Parker of King’s (59.75), to be officially anointed as the fastest female runner out of the Cascade Conference.

Stone had been in third, Parker second after Friday’s prelims.

Sophomore Maya Jackson of Northwest, who has been the fastest 400 runner in 1A all season, narrowly held on for the title, edging Stone by less than half a second at 58.23.

It was the second medal in as many seasons for Stone.

As a freshman, she ran a leg on a 4 x 200 relay squad with Madison Tisa McPhee, Sylvia Hurlburt and Jai’Lysa Hoskins that finished fifth at state.

The gunfighter.

They are like three gunfighters, circling each other.

Maya Jackson of Northwest, Anna Parker of King’s and Makana Stone of Coupeville have had the three fastest times among 1A girls in the 400 all season, and nothing changed Friday.

Running in the prelims at the state track meet in Cheney, the trio of sophomores went 1-2-3, setting up a showdown for a state title Saturday.

Jackson (58.25 seconds) and Stone (59.35) ran together in Heat 1 Friday, while Parker (59.54) headlined Heat 2.

All three were slightly off their season bests, holding back just a bit as they eased through the first day. No other runner broke a minute.

On the season, their best marks are 57.23 (Jackson), 57.98 (Parker) and 58.13 (Stone). The school record holder in the event, Stone has steadily brought her time down each meet this season.

Makana Stone, she’s quick. (John Fisken photos)

Matt Shank, seen here launching the javelin in an early-season meet, competed in the high jump Saturday.

Makana Stone is sprinting back to Cheney.

The Coupeville High School sophomore shattered her school record in the 400 — again — Saturday at Tri-Districts in Shoreline and will advance to the state 1A/2B/1B meet for a second straight season.

Facing off with Maya Jackson of Northwest and Anna Parker of King’s, the trio waged an epic war at Woolsey Stadium, throwing down the three fastest times run by 1A girls this season.

Jackson won the race in 57.23 seconds, edging her fellow tenth graders. Parker (57.98) was an eyelash ahead of Stone (58.13).

The rematch will come May 30-31, and Stone’s sole focus will be on besting her rivals, as she narrowly failed to advance in her other event, the 200.

She placed seventh in 26.74, missing out on a state berth by two spots.

Stone will be running at state in an individual event for the first time.

She competed as a member of Coupeville’s 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay teams as a freshman, claiming an 8th place medal in the second race.

The only other Wolves to participate on the second day of Tri-Districts were senior shot put hurler Nick Streubel and junior high jumper Matt Shank.

Streubel placed eighth, heaving the ball 45 feet, 4.75 inches, while Shank soared an even five feet to claim 16th.

Skyler Lawrence made an impact all season, no matter what she was throwing.

Makana Stone is in it to win it.

Pulling back slightly Thursday during the prelims at Tri-Districts, the speedy Coupeville High School sophomore still qualified for Saturday’s finals in both the 200 and 400.

Her performance at Woolsey Stadium in Shoreline was the highlight of the day, as the Wolves ran into top-level competition.

While she didn’t advance to the finals, CHS junior Marisa Etzell did set a PR in the 400.

Power up the spotlight, cause it’s time to shine.

Coupeville High School sends its baseball, softball and track squads into their biggest competitions of the season this week, while Lone Wolf golfer Christine Fields bides her time and waits for next week’s state tourney.

Track and field is up first, with the Tri-District meet, the final stop before state, kicking off Thursday in Shoreline.

The first day is mostly prelims for Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt, Jared Helmstadter and Co., with finals Saturday.

CHS baseball makes its first return to state since 2008 when it travels to Volunteer Park in Anacortes Saturday for a 10 AM showdown with Rochester.

Win and the Wolves return to action later in the afternoon against the winner of Hoquiam and Cedar Park Christian (Bothell), with a trip to Yakima and the Final Four in the balance.

A resurgent Wolf softball squad kicks off Tri-Districts in Janicki Fields in Sedro-Woolley Saturday at 12 PM.

Their opponent will be the #3 seed from District 3 and, if they win the loser-out game, they hang around to play two more games.

The first would be against the winner of Forest Ridge and Lynden Christian. Win two games this weekend and the softballers are state bound as well.
