Lathom Kelley, practicing the look he gives foes before he rips out their very soul.
Lathom Kelley is The Natural.
In six years of high school and middle school track, the Coupeville High School senior had never competed in the triple jump before Thursday.
So, how did he do in his debut on the big stage at Kingston High School?
Crushed it.
Soaring six and a half inches further than any of his foes in a 14-man field, Kelley made off with the win, one of two for him on the day.
Toss in his other victory (long jump), plus wins for Dalton Martin (discus), Makana Stone (800) and the girls 4 x 200 relay team, and Coupeville more than held its own on a day in which it faced off with three 2A schools and a pair of 1B teams.
The Wolf boys, who set 15 PRs on the day, finished second in the team standings, while the girls, who notched 14 PRs of their own, claimed third.
2A Olympic ran away with both titles, while Kingston, Port Angeles, Clallam Bay and Neah Bay also participated in the meet.
