Welcome to the big show.
The Coupeville High School track and field team traveled to Bellingham Saturday to wage war with much larger schools during the 13th Annual Birger Solberg Track & Field Invitational.
The event drew 54 schools, covering every classification in Washington state (4A-1B), while also hauling in teams from Alaska and British Columbia.
Shorewood, a 3A school, won the team titles, with their girl’s squad holding off 2A Anacortes 76.5-65, and their boys nipping 4A Kamiak 71-68.
Coupeville, repping a 2B institution, scored above its weight class, claiming 20th (girls) and 26th (boys).
Wolf senior Alex Murdy delivered the day’s best performance, finishing 2nd out of 42 competitors in the long jump.
Senior Ryanne Knoblich was 3rd in the high jump while vying with 28 other athletes, while sophomore Lyla Stuurmans — already the fastest female 400 runner in 2B — set a PR in her event.
Coupeville is off for two weeks, at least in terms of competitions, returning to action Saturday, Apr. 22 at the GearUp Eason Invitational in Snohomish.
