They had one last victory lap to make.

Officially capping the 2013-2014 high school athletic year, the Wolf track and field team handed out awards and letters Tuesday night.

We don’t have a list of said letter winners in hand yet (calm down, David, it will happen…) but here are some photos from awards night to tide you over until then.

Meanwhile I’ll be over there, screaming “Someone get CHS track coach Randy King to a computer, stat!! I don’t care if it’s finals week!!!!”

Along for the wild ride all season has been mom Eileen Stone, who captured the pics above of her splendid sophomore.

“That’s my baby girl!!”

The Cascade Conference spoke. Then Makana Stone overruled them.

When All-Conference teams were announced for track and field, Stone was the lone Wolf to make the squad, being tabbed as a Second-Team pick in the 400.

Which is nice, but the speedy sophomore then went out and beat the girl who was ranked ahead of her in the biggest race of the season.

Anna Parker of King’s earned First-Team All-Conference honors for the regular season, but Stone bested her in Cheney at the 1A state meet, finishing second to Maya Jackson of Northwest.

Parker coasted across the line in third, more than a second off of Stone.

Jumping sports, let’s just say … game, set, match, Miss Stone.

“I must destroy you!!”

Stickin' the landing.

Stickin’ the landing.

Yes, this is Coupeville Sports, but, let’s take one last moment to pay honor to our favorite Falcon.

South Whidbey High School senior Maia Sparkman, who was the first athlete from her school to agree to an interview with me back in the days when I picked on the Falcons a lot, is a class act through and through.

So it’s nice to see her do so well in her final moments as a high school athlete.

Competing at the 1A state track meet in Cheney Friday and Saturday, Sparkman brought home three medals, the most of any Whidbey Island athlete this spring.

She opened state by placing 7th in the long jump, hitting the sand at sixteen feet, 8.50 inches, then ran legs on two Falcon relay teams that brought home medals.

Her 4 x 100 relay squad, which included Anna Leski, Bailey Forsyth and Madi Boyd, claimed 7th in 50.75 seconds, while her 4 x 400 unit (Boyd, Jaime Rodden, Mackenzie Hezel and Sparkman) finished 4th in 4:03.34.

Well done, Miss Sparkman. Well done.
