Dalton Martin saved his biggest throw for the biggest stage.
The Coupeville High School junior unleashed the discus 147 feet Friday at the 1A state track meet, shattering his PR by almost eight feet and capturing fifth place.
His previous best, which had come at the district meet, was 139-1.
Martin’s one-man, one-event performance has Coupeville in 12th place in the current team standings.
Martin and sophomore shot putter Skyler Lawrence, who finished 16th with a lob of 28-02.50, were the only Wolves to compete in finals on Day 1 in Cheney.
Makana Stone and the Wolf girls’ 4 x 200 relay unit will be back Saturday, after qualifying for the finals with their performances Friday.
Stone, who was 2nd in the 400 last year as a sophomore, cruised in to this year’s finals with a fourth place finish in the prelims.
Her time of 58.95 seconds was a season best and put her second in her heat behind defending state champ Maya Jackson of Northwest.
The Wolf 4 x 2 relay team, with Lauren Grove, Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt and Marisa Etzell, will head into the finals as the third-fastest team, having run a 1:47.29 in the prelims.
The same relay team also ran in the 4 x 100, but were disqualified when a baton was juggled and dropped on an exchange.
