Running, throwing, or rowing — former Coupeville athletes sparkled in multiple locales Friday and Saturday.
Sisters Lucy and Sophie Sandahl returned to the water with their Seattle Pacific University rowing teammates, while former Wolves Ja’Tarya Hoskins and Logan Martin kicked off the outdoor track and field season — just no longer as teammates.
The Sandahls zipped across American Lake in Lakewood at the PLU Invite, helping their varsity four squad capture two lopsided wins.
Lucy Sandahl was the boat’s coxswain, with Megan Rouse (stroke seat), Addie Clark (third seat), Gem Gatmaytan (second seat), and Sophie Sandahl (bow seat) busy on the oars.
SPU dominated against Western Washington University and Seattle University, jumping out to open water after the first 500 meters in both races.
“That is the first time we’ve ever competed with that line up and it was a very strong race day,” Lucy Sandahl said. “It was a good start to building a strong foundation for the season.”
The sensational siblings and their associates return to action Mar. 25, when they’ll take to the water for the Husky Open on the Montlake Cut in Seattle.
While the Sandahls were soaring under cloudy conditions, Martin and Hoskins reunited in Tacoma at the Ed Boitano Invitational.

Hoskins, who is zipping towards graduation from Saint Martin’s University this spring, ran in the 200 at the season-opener, hitting the tape in 31.06 seconds.
Meanwhile, Martin, a freshman at Central Washington University, threw in three events across the two days of the meet.
He claimed 5th place (out of 25 athletes) in the hammer throw with a heave of 154 feet, four inches, while also finishing 10th in the discus (112-07) and 20th in the shot put (34-00).
