“Our team did great today!”
From unexpectedly nice weather to athletes performing in mid-season form, Wednesday was pleasant for Coupeville High School track and field coaches.
Competing in a season-opening 10-school meet at La Conner, the Wolves swept both girls and boys team titles.
Fueled by seven wins and an astonishing 87 PR’s, Coupeville was dominant all day.
“Thanks to our unique blend of young and seasoned athletes, we achieved early personal records, fantastic weather, and even clinched a team victory!” said CHS coach Bob Martin.
“It’s an exciting start that promises more successes ahead!”
Junior Lyla Stuurmans paced the Wolves with a pair of victories, sweeping to first in both the 1600 and 3200.
Meanwhile, Marquette Cunningham and Nick Guay came up huge, both winning an individual event while also running a leg on a pair of triumphant relay teams.
The former won the triple jump, while the latter claimed the high jump crown, joining discus chucker Zac Tackett in the winner’s circle.
Preston Epp also ran a leg on both winning relay units, with Hank Milnes (4 x 400) and Cael Wilson (4 x 100) chipping in as well.
The Wolf boys cruised to the team win, finishing with 155.5 points, with Mount Vernon Christian (128), La Conner (79), and Friday Harbor (76.5) rounding out the top four.
On the girls’ side, it was all-out war, with Coupeville (113) nudging past La Conner (110) and MVC (110) at the very last second to claim the title. Lopez Island was fourth with 73 points.
The Wolves get right back at it Saturday, when they compete at the Rainier Icebreaker.
