You can’t get in the door unless you earned some hardware.

Scanning the internet for high school track and field state meet accomplishments, you can find results back to 1963, with 87 Coupeville athletes owning at least one medal.

Five of those Wolves are active, with sophomores Lyla Stuurmans, Monroe Myles, Cael Wilson, and Zac Tackett joined by freshman Carly Burt.

The just-concluded 2023 season was a particularly productive one, as 10 of the 13 CHS athletes to medal at this year’s state meet were first-timers.

In addition to the aforementioned five underclassmen, Wolf seniors Carolyn Lhamon, Tate Wyman, Tim Ursu, Claire Mayne, and state champ Alex Murdy all joined the club in their final go-round.

Rounding out the award-winners were a trio of seniors who all brought home glory during their junior season as well.

Dominic Coffman and Ryanne Knoblich capped their prep track careers with two medals apiece, while Aidan Wilson amassed five across two trips to the big dance.
