Now it gets freakin’ serious.

The regular season meets are done, and it’s on to the postseason run for the Coupeville High School track and field squads.

First up is the Cascade Conference championships Thursday, where the Wolves will face off with fellow 1A schools King’s and South Whidbey and the league’s five 2A teams.

It will be the final appearance for CHS, which moves to the 1A Olympic League in the fall.

After that comes the Last Chance Qualifier Friday, which gives athletes on the outside exactly what the title implies — a last chance to nab a qualifying time or throw to advance on to districts.

Districts run Wednesday, May 14 and Friday, May 16, and, after that, at least some Wolves would be expected to advance on through tri-districts (May 22, 24) and on to state (May 30-31).

Current Coupeville stars Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt and Marisa Etzell are all state meet veterans and are aiming for a return trip to Cheney, while fellow young guns like Lathom Kelley and Jared Helmstadter would like to make it a co-ed trip this year.

The best is back.

Recovering from a sore knee that kept her out of action, Coupeville High School sophomore sensation Makana Stone brought the subtle swagger back to the track oval Saturday. Then she brought the big city girls to their knees.

Busting out a PR, she lit up the field in the 400 at the 6th Annual BCS Invite in Juanita, slappin’ down all 21 girls who dared to line up across from her.

Her time of 59.75 seconds was more than a full second ahead of Shoreline Christian senior Natalie McPherson.

McPherson evened the duel a bit, nipping Stone by .11 of a second in the 200.

And this is no second-rate competition, as McPherson finished in the top four in both events at state as a junior. Stone’s time in the 400 is the second-fastest of any 1A runner this season.

Away from the track, the brightest day may have belonged to Wolf freshman Skyler Lawrence, who set PRs in both the shot put and discus.

Her fourth-place showing in the shot put tied with Jared Helmstadter (400) and Brandon Kelley (300 hurdles) for the best performances by a Wolf, non-Stone division.

Coupeville finished 12th out of 18 teams in the boys’ competition and 11th out of 19 teams on the girls’ side of the battle.

I think they kinda like each other.

Coupeville High School track stars Makana Stone and Sylvia Hurlburt are close friends on and off the track oval, as shown in this photo where the dandy duo hang out while cheering on the Wolf boys’ soccer squad Tuesday.

OK everyone, take a moment and say, “aaaahhhhh.”

Now go about your Wednesday, content in the knowledge that love and friendship washes across the prairie.

Jake McCormick

Jake McCormick is part of the 7th fastest 4 x 400 relay squad in District 1.

OK, calm down, there are still two months to go, but … right now, this moment … Makana Stone would be a state champion.

The Coupeville High School sophomore has run the fastest 400 time of any girl in 1A, 2B or 1B this season, clocking in at 61.46 at the Seattle Academy Relays Mar. 22.

Three meets into the season, Stone appears four times on the 1A girls Top 10 lists, with top-five times in the 200, 400 and as a member of the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay teams, where she’s joined by Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove.

None of those four Wolves are seniors, either, with Etzell the oldest as a mere junior. Continued good times should be ahead.

The CHS boys don’t have any athletes in the Top 10 currently, but they do have a fair amount making the list if you take one step down and look at the top performers in District 1.

Sylvia Hurlburt is hopping for joy over her team’s performance.

She’s not slowing down any time soon.

Coupeville High School sophomore Makana Stone is starting off her second track season the same way she did her first one — kickin’ butt and takin’ names.

Thursday, she and her teammates were in Sultan for a four-team meet and the swift one captured victories in all four of her events.

She cruised to first in the 100 and 200, then teamed with junior Marisa Etzell, fellow sophomore Sylvia Hurlburt and freshman Lauren Grove to capture both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay races.

On the boys side of the battle, Wolf senior Nick Streubel out-flung teammate Dalton Martin to claim the discus title, the only event win for Coupeville.

With a thin roster, the 1A Wolves finished fourth in both team competitions, behind 2A schools Lakewood, Archbishop Thomas Murphy and Sultan.
