Gunnin’ for another PR. (Jackie Queen photos)
PRs sprout in the sun.
At least that appears to be the case, as the Coupeville Middle School track and field team stayed busy Wednesday piling up personal-best marks during a three-team meet in Langley.
Squaring off with host South Whidbey and Cascade League heavyweight King’s, the Wolves collected 54 PRs and 14 wins.
That made for a happy bunch of CMS coaches.
“They had a fun day in the sun,” said Wolf track guru Jon Gabelein. “Our athletes have worked hard throughout the season, and this allowed them to enjoy some clear and exciting growth.”
With Coupeville staying on Whidbey to visit its next-door neighbors, Wolf fans also made the trek in style.
“It was great seeing so many families make the trip South to support our athletes,” Gabelein said. “This was very appreciated!”
Talent runs deep on the Wolf roster.
Coupeville’s 14 wins were spread amongst eight athletes, led by three-event winner Les Queen, who topped the field in the 200, shot put, and discus.
That gives the CMS 7th grader 14 wins this spring, the most in a single season by a Wolf boy in the athletic.net era (2008-2026).
Queen, who won three times as a 6th grader, edges past Diesel Eck (13 in 2025) and Alex Murdy (12 in 2019), and trails just Lindsey Roberts (18 in 2015) and Tamsin Ward (16 in 2025) on the all-time list.
He was joined by double event winners Henry Purdue (800, 1600), Laurel Crowder (100, 200), Jesse Kehoe (High Jump, Long Jump), and Malachi Chapa (400, Long Jump), with Bella Sandlin (400), Xander Beaman (High Jump), and Ella Holm (Shot Put) also claiming titles.
With his performance Wednesday Kehoe joins an exclusive club, as he now has 10 wins during his 7th grade campaign.
Crowder (9), Chapa (8), and Purdue (7) are all hot on his heels, while Holm became the 32nd Wolf to win an event this season.
The Wolves have one more meet, split into two parts, to add to their win totals, with the Cascade League Championships set to wrap the season.
Coupeville heads to Lakewood High School in Arlington June 1 for the prelims, then returns June 4 for the finals.
One team, one dream.
