Wolves run, soar in the rain

Who’s afraid of big schools? Not Coupeville.

With a league meet at Concrete scrubbed, the Wolf track and field squad instead headed up Island Wednesday, joining 3A Oak Harbor and 2A Burlington-Edison in a three-team rumble at OHHS.

And, while 2B Coupeville doesn’t have the roster depth to win team battles against schools two and three rungs higher on the student body count ladder, CHS still made an impact.

The Wolves came away with five wins and 27 PR’s on a nasty “spring” day.

Ryanne Knoblich claimed top honors in the high jump, while Logan Martin (Shot Put), Aidan Wilson (800), Reiley Araceley (110 Hurdles), and Caleb Meyer (400) also earned top dog status in their events.

Wednesday’s triple feature was good preparation for Coupeville’s next rumble, which arrives this weekend.

The Wolves are off to Snohomish for the Gear Up Eason Invitational Saturday, an 81-team mega-meet.

Senior thrower Logan Martin will actually get started a day earlier, as the hammer throw goes down on its own Friday afternoon.
