The Wolves won every event.
Of course, that’s bound to happen when no other schools are in attendance, but that was of minor importance Saturday afternoon.
What did loom huge was Coupeville High School, for the first time in many years, hosted a home track and field meet, showing off the new, voter-funded oval and facilities.
After years of dealing with an old track that had broken down too far to be usable for anything other than practice, the Wolves are primed to host multiple high school and middle school home meets this spring.
To get ready for those multi-team shindigs, and give the largest track team in school history a taste of competition, CHS threw itself an intra-squad meet.
While current Wolf runners and throwers arrived to start a new season, quite a few former athletes and coaches took advantage of the event, reuniting as they helped chart times and distances.
