This is your chance to get in on the ground floor.
Coupeville High School will officially debut its new track oval with an intra-squad meet Saturday, Mar. 11 and the Wolves are seeking volunteers who would like to be event judges.
Whether you have prior experience or want to learn on the go, this is perfect for you.
Since CHS hasn’t hosted a meet for at least five years, running an informal team event first will help everyone get on the same page in a low-stress environment.
“Anyone who enjoys track and field and/or working with some polite and appreciative youth is encouraged to contact us,” said Wolf track coach Randy King. “Catch the excitement!”
Coupeville is scheduled to host three regular meets this season, two for the high school and one for the middle school. There’s also work being done on possibly adding a fourth meet in late April.
The Wolves welcome Port Townsend, Chimacum, Klahowya and Mount Vernon Christian to Whidbey Mar. 30 for their first official home meet, then host the Olympic League JV meet May 8.
That second event will feature 11 schools in all.
With a brand spanking new oval, CHS would like to become a preferred destination point for future postseason events. To do that, the school needs to build a solid supporting cast.
“Building a cadre of experienced event judges will be a key to us being able to hold successful track meets in the future,” King said.
To volunteer contact King (678-2465) or Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith (678-2422).
