It was quite a haul.
The Coupeville High School track team collected nine medals and set two school records at the state 1A meet in Cheney at Eastern Washington University Thursday through Saturday, May 26-28.
Medals were awarded to the top-eight finishers in each event, and the nine collected by Coupeville tied for the most by a Wolf team in 10 years, helping the girls finish 12th in the team standings with 22 points and the boys 15th with 15.5.
Naches Valley, with 63 points, won the girls team title, while Zillah won the boys with 58.5.
Coupeville senior Makana Stone and freshman Lindsey Roberts each earned three medals, placing in an individual event and in two relays with junior Lauren Grove and senior Sylvia Hurlburt.
The quartet placed third in the 4×200 in a school record 1:46.41, and sixth in the 4×100 in 50.99. In the preliminaries of the 4×100, the Wolves posted a school record 50.66.
Grove, Hurlburt and Stone, along with then-senior Marisa Etzell, finished fifth in the 4×200 in 2015.
Stone took second in the 400 meters in 58.74, trailing three-time champion Maya Jackson of Northwest by two seconds. Stone also finished second in the event as a sophomore and fourth as a junior.
Roberts grabbed fourth in the 100 hurdles in 16.39.
Junior Skyler Lawrence was 12th in the shot put (32-03), and Grove ran 15th in the 200 (27.5).
Lawrence took 16th in the shot put last spring.
Senior Dalton Martin starred for the boys, taking second in the discus (160-06), eighth in the shot put (47-07.75) and eight in the javelin (149-03). It was just the fourth time Martin threw the javelin in competition.
In the discus, Martin was runner up to Chelan’s Jose Padilla, who set a Washington record regardless of classification with a throw of 195 feet.
Martin placed fifth in the discus in last year’s state meet.
Sophomore Jacob Smith snared fourth in the 200 (23.06) and 11th in the 100 (11.76).
Senior Jordan Ford finished the scoring for the Wolves by tying for eighth in the pole vault (12-06).
Freshman Chris Battaglia took 14th in the high jump (5-04), junior Mitchell Carroll was 15th in the triple jump (38-02.75) and freshman Danny Conlisk was 17th in the 800 (2:07.83).
Smith, Conlisk, sophomore Henry Wynn and senior Jared Helmstadter ran 15th in the 4×400 relay (3:44.3).
