The roll call added two names.

Coupeville sophomore pole vaulter Lillian Ketterling and senior shot-put thrower Zachary Saho both finished 8th at the 2B state track and field meet in Yakima this weekend, becoming the 100th and 101st Wolves to earn a medallion.

That list stretches back to 1963, when the modern era of the season-ending championships began.

Ketterling and Saho were joined in medaling by sophomore Wyatt Fitch-Marron and junior Davin Houston, who finished 4th and 5th in the high jump, respectively.

CHS track squad hits finish line

May 30, 2026 by David Svien

That’s a wrap.

Three Coupeville High School athletes competed Saturday at the 2B state track and field championships in Yakima, bringing a close to the Wolves three-day odyssey in Eastern Washington.

Freshman Tamsin Ward, who also vied in the shot-put Thursday, placed 10th in the high jump, setting a PR at four feet, 10 inches.

That’s two inches better than her previous top mark and puts her just four inches away from the school record for girls (5-02), jointly held by Yashmeen Knox and Ryanne Knoblich.

Coupeville sent its final competitors to the line late in the day Saturday, with freshman Cyrus Sparacio and senior George Spear running in the 3200-meter race.

The young gun claimed 12th in a time of 10 minutes, 30.32 seconds, while his older counterpart was 15th in 11:02.64 during his final high school race.

Overall, the Wolves, who had athletes in action all three days, earned four medals at the 2026 meet.

Wyatt Fitch-Marron and Davin Houston claimed 4th and 5th in the high jump, respectively, while Lillian Ketterling (Pole Vault) and Zachary Saho (Shot Put) were 8th in their events.

The Coupeville boys finished 21st in the team standings, while the Wolf girls were 34th.

Freeman’s boys and La Conner’s girls were the team state champs.

The Braves trailed Mount Vernon Christian at both the Northwest 2B/1B League meet and at districts, but soared on the biggest stage, sparked by state titles from freshman Faith Jenkins in the 100 and 200.

La Conner also claimed first place in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay, with Jenkins teaming with Maeve McCormick, Kiana Jenkins, and Nora McCormick to hit the tape first.

Wolves enjoy four-medal day

History was made in the heat.

Competing Friday during day #2 of the three-day 2B state track and field championships in Yakima, Coupeville High School athletes claimed four medals, with the first one a milestone.

Sophomore Lillian Ketterling soared to an even eight feet in the pole vault, earning 8th place in her first trip to the big dance.

That makes her the 100th Wolf to bring home a state meet medal since the modern era of the event began back in 1963.

Hot on her heels was teammate Zachary Saho, who matched her later in the day with an 8th place showing in the shot put.

The Wolf senior chucked his orb 44 feet, five-and-a-half inches to shatter his PR by more than a foot, officially becoming CHS medalist #101 all-time.

Zachary Saho celebrates with CHS coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin.

The day’s other mementos went to high jumpers Wyatt Fitch-Marron and Davin Houston, who placed 4th and 5th while soaring 5-10 and 5-08, respectively.

It was the second state meet medal for both, with Fitch-Marron having finished 7th in the same event last season as a freshman.

Houston, a junior, was part of a 4 x 100 relay team which claimed 6th place a year ago.

Wyatt Fitch-Marron adds to his medal collection.

Rounding out Friday’s action, Ketterling placed 16th in the discus, letting loose with a heave of 85-01, while the boys 4 x 1 relay squad finished 17th.

The quartet of Marquette Cunningham, Liam Blas, Fitch-Marron, and Houston hit the tape in 45.76 seconds, but failed to make the cut for Saturday’s finals.

Coupeville closes out its run at state when the team parade kicks things off on the final day at Zaepfel Stadium.

Freshman Tamsin Ward will vie in the high jump Saturday morning, while freshman Cyrus Sparacio and senior George Spear will run in the 3200 late in the day.
