Welcome to the club.
Enjoying the first state track and field meet in three springs after a pandemic shutdown, Coupeville High School athletes got back to doing what they do.
Bringing home medals.
Six Wolves earned their first chunk of state meet glory Friday and Saturday in Cheney, with Dominic Coffman, Reiley Araceley, Ryanne Knoblich, Caleb Meyer, Aidan Wilson, and Logan Martin stepping onto the awards podium.
That brings the CHS state meet medal club to 77 athletes all-time, with those track stars accounting for 187 awards.
From that club, Kyle King has the most state titles, edging Natasha Bamberger 5-4, though the latter also owns a cross country crown.
But Kyle’s younger brother, Tyler, is tops in total medals, and the duo, joined by sister Brianne, are one of three Wolf families to produce three medal winners.
The Hoskins sisters (Jai’Lysa, Ja’Tarya, Ja’Kenya) and the Toomey-Stouts (Cameron, Maya, Sean) are the others, while the Martin (Dalton, Logan) and Hack (Joy, Kevin) families also have sibling winners.
The Fords (Jordan and Uncle Tony) and Roberts (Lindsey and Uncle Jay) are also in the game, with the Beplers (Ariah and dad Mark) the only time a CHS medal winner has sired a future medal winner.
So far.
Our final connection is Yashmeen Knox and Rich Wilson, who both still own school records in the high jump 20+ years after graduation.
They’re the only Wolf duo to win state meet medals, then later marry.
So far.
