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.

The Reed and Lindsey Show rolls on.

Coupeville Middle School seventh graders Reed Richards and Lindsey Roberts continued their torrid track seasons Wednesday, winning events at Day 1 of the Cascade Conference Championships in Shoreline.

Richards went nuclear, dropping 11 seconds off of her personal record to out-duel Mary Carbajal of Sultan and win the finals of the 800 by nearly a second. Third place was a whopping 17 seconds off of Richards‘ pace.

Roberts claimed first in the prelims for the 75 meter hurdles, also setting a PR.

One Whidbey, kickin’ your fanny!!

Well played, South Whidbey, well played.

This blog is called Coupeville Sports for a reason, but there are times when even the most die-hard of Cow Town folks can take a moment and tip our hats to the folks down in Langley.

We live on an Island, and as much as the Wolves and Falcons have always been, and will always be, the best of rivals, we can celebrate each others triumphs.

Lord knows the ATM’s and King’s of the world, and their brethren, need a paddle taken to their entitled, pompous rears as often as possible, and any win for a Whidbey athlete is a win for all of us “hicks.”

So take a moment with me to send congrats to a couple of South Whidbey people who I have found to be class acts all the way. They may not wear the red and black — our loss — but I wish them well all the same.

Tom Fallon guided his SWHS baseball team to its first trip to state in decades, where the Falcons and Wolves, who split their four games this year, accounted for 1/8th of the field at the 1A tourney.

South Whidbey opened with a 10-5 win over Tenino Saturday, then fell 1-0 to Richland in the afternoon to end its season, while Coupeville was nipped 2-1 by Rochester.

If Richland and Rochester win their state semifinals next weekend and play for the title game, they will do so with the knowledge they barely escaped the wonder twin power of Whidbey’s best.

Meanwhile, over in the heart of the beast (King’s home stadium), Whidbey track runners stepped up and made a huge impact at Tri-Districts.

We’re hugely enthusiastic about CHS sophomore Makana Stone advancing to state in the 400. She has the third-fastest time in 1A and is a second away from pulling off an upset and winning a state title.

But let’s also send a big thumbs up to South Whidbey senior Maia Sparkman, who qualified for state in the long jump and as a member of 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay teams.

At a time when I poked the Falcons frequently, Miss Sparkman was gracious enough to consent to an interview (https://coupevillesports.com/2013/06/30/the-falcons-are-alright-maia-sparkman-sparkles/), when she could have blown me off as several South Whidbey athletes did.

Fallon and Sparkman — class acts through and through, even if I think they’re wearing the wrong colors.

But deep down, the colors don’t always matter.

What does is one Whidbey, kickin’ ass and takin’ names. Always.

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.
