Win, or go home.

And yes, the Coupeville High School track and field team was already home Saturday, hosting the District 1/2 championships at Mickey Clark Field.

But every race, every field event, was a nailbiter, as the only way athletes earned their ticket to state was by winning.

Finish second Saturday and you got a firm handshake, but that was it.

Which was fine by the Wolves, who went out and won 18 events en route to capturing both girls and boys team titles.

Coupeville’s girls had themselves a truly epic day, rolling up more points than the second and third best teams combined.

The Wolves finished with 225 points, with Friday Harbor (109), La Conner (83), and Northwest Christian of Lacey (72) bringing up the rear.

The battle was closer on the boy’s side, with Coupeville (194) pulling away from La Conner (146) and Friday Harbor (131) late.

NWC was well back with just 39 points.

Once they add alternates for the girls 4 x 400 relay and the boys 4 x 100 unit, the Wolves are expecting to pack 22 athletes onto the bus for the trip to Yakima.

After a long run in Cheney, the 2B state meet jumps to Zaepfel Stadium this season, with the royal rumble slated for May 25-27.

Lyla Stuurmans, Aidan Wilson, Monroe Myles, and Carolyn Lhamon all qualified for two individual events, with the first three of those Wolves also part of a state meet-qualifying relay team.

Wilson, Ryanne Knoblich, Reiley Araceley, and Dominic Coffman are the only active CHS track stars to have earned state meet medals in prior years.

Knoblich was 2nd in the high jump last season, while Wilson was 3rd in the 800.

Wilson also teamed up with Coffman, Araceley, and the now graduated Caleb Meyer to finish 2nd in the 4 x 100.
