They’re off to a strong start.
Two meets into a new season, Coupeville High School track and field athletes can be found all over the statewide top 10 rankings.
The Wolves appear in nine different categories on the boys’ side, and seven on the girls.
Leading the way are Lyla Stuurmans, Aleera Kent, Cael Wilson, and Carson Field, who each pop up in three different events.
Hot on their heels are Aleksia Jump, Preston Epp, Jasmine Castellanos, Nick Guay, and Marquette Cunningham, with two appearances each.
Overall, 20 Wolves, which accounts for about a third of Coupeville’s roster, currently grace the Top 10.
Now, there’s still a long way to go before things end at the state meet in May, but the early results bode well for CHS.
