But first, a parting gift.

Three graduating Coupeville High School seniors were honored by Northwest 2B/1B League baseball coaches for their play on the diamond this spring.

Chase Anderson landed First-Team All-League recognition, while Camden Glover and Coop Cooper were placed on the Second Team.

The trio led CHS to a 9-9 record, with the Wolves finishing 7-5 in conference play.

Orcas Island thumper Joe Stephens, who smashed a home run over the fence while playing in Coupeville, was tabbed as league MVP.

Rounding out things, Anthony Hanson of Mount Vernon Christian received Coach of the Year after leading the Hurricanes to a league title, while Darrington picked up the Sportsmanship Award.

Her duties grow.

Sophomore Marin Winger was selected Thursday to serve a two-year term as a student rep on the Coupeville School Board.

She’ll join junior Lindy Sylvester, currently in her first year in the position, and replace senior George Spear, who is set to graduate with the Class of 2026.

Winger, a top student and athlete, was a key member of the CHS cheer team during football and basketball seasons this school year and has previously participated in basketball and track and field.

She’s also involved in the Lion’s Leo Club and Exec Board and is the youngest person on a community facilities taskforce.

That group, which includes two mayors, business leaders, teachers, and school administrators, is reviewing the district’s infrastructure from top to bottom.

In the recent past, Winger was also accepted to a summer Sports Medicine program at Wake Forest University.

Working alongside students from around the globe, she received instruction on athletic injuries such as ACL tears, joint dislocations, concussions and traumatic brain injuries, as well as spinal cord treatment.

CHS track stars kick off state meet run

Day one is in the books.

A pack of Coupeville High School athletes traveled from moderately sunny Whidbey Island to blazing-hot Yakima Thursday, with three Wolves competing in the opening moments of the 2B state track and field championships.

With temps pushing the mid-90’s on the Eastern side of the state, CHS freshman Tamsin Ward finished 14th in the shot put.

One of just three fab frosh to make the cut for the big dance in the event, she chucked her weapon of choice 30 feet, seven inches.

It’s the first of two competitions for Ward at state, as she will vie in the high jump Saturday as well.

Rounding out Coupeville’s day one competitors, freshman Cyrus Sparacio and senior George Spear ran in the 1600-meter race.

Sparacio claimed 11th in a personal-best time of four minutes, 38.14 seconds, with his older teammate earning 18th in 5:12.49.

With his run to the tape, the Wolf frosh shattered his PR by five-plus seconds and missed out on a medal by just four ticks.

One of the three youngest runners in the event (two freshmen and an 8th grader), Sparacio was the fastest of the trio.

Coupeville returns to action Friday at Zaepfel Stadium for day two of the three-day royal rumble.

The Wolves are slated to have Lillian Ketterling (Discus, Pole Vault), Zachary Saho (Shot Put), and the duo of Wyatt Fitch-Marron and Davin Houston (High Jump) in action.

The latter two will also link up with Liam Blas and Marquette Cunningham to run in the 4 x 100 prelims.

The Thursday trio return to action in the meet finale Saturday, with Ward in the high jump and Sparacio and Spear in the 3200.

If the 4 x 1 relay unit makes it to the finals, they’ll also run that day.
