20 athletes in 24 events.
Coupeville High School track and field will be coming in hot this week, having qualified a large chunk of its roster for the District 1/4 championships.
The final event before the state meet, the royal rumble goes down Friday, May 20 at W.F. West High School in Chehalis.
Four of those Wolves — Ja’Kenya Hoskins, Caleb Meyer, Dominic Coffman, and Aidan Wilson — are set to compete in the maximum four events.
Coupeville boys need a top-five finish at bi-districts to punch their ticket to the big dance, while girls move on with a top-seven finish.
The difference is because girls events at the state meet will each have 16 competitors, while boys events will only have 12.
The reason?
There are 50 schools actively competing in 2B girls track, while just 49 boys teams meet the necessary criteria.
And that’s enough for the hard asses at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association to cling to draconian rules, while ignoring the fact this is the first state meet in three years thanks to the pandemic.
