Welcome to our track. Now prepare to bow to us.

Throwing down under sunny skies Saturday on the prairie, the Coupeville High School track and field team dominated at the District 1/2 meet.

The Wolves swept both team titles on the 2B side of things, while racking up 13 wins and 22 PRs.

“Good day all around,” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “Coupeville athletes putting in the work.”

Along with their wins and PRs, the Wolves qualified 18 athletes for the state championships, which go down May 23-25 in Yakima.

Of those Wolves, three — Preston Epp, Carson Field, and Nick Guay — punched their tickets in three events.

Meanwhile, Lyla Stuurmans, Cael Wilson, Katie Marti, Reese Wilkinson, and Marquette Cunningham advance in two categories apiece.

The number of Wolves headed to Eisenhower High School for the big dance could actually go higher than 18.

To qualify for state, you had to finish in the top two Saturday, so third-place finishers are alternates, just waiting for a top-two rival to have to decline their bid.

For now, the Wolves will bask in the glow of a magnificent Saturday in the spotlight, then get back to practice as they prep for the year’s biggest meet.

Bow before our magnificence. (Dina Guay photo)
