A small band of Coupeville High School track and field athletes put in a solid performance at the 18-team Cashmere Invitational Saturday, April 11.
Missing much of its team because of spring break, Coupeville sent a dozen members to Cashmere and came away with 10 season-best marks, according to coach Randy King.
Lathom Kelly entered the 300-meter hurdles for the first time and won the event in 42.07, the third-fastest 1A time in the state this spring.
The junior also posted top season times while placing sixth in the 200 (23.65) and eighth in the 100 (11.88).
Dalton Martin finished fourth in the discus (129-01) and 11th in the shot put (38-02.75).
The girls were led by Lauren Grove (seventh, triple jump, 28-00.75; 14th, long jump, 13-02) and Skylar Lawrence (seventh, shot put, 28-05.5; 18th, discus, 72-10; 22nd, javelin, 70-10).
