Back in double digits.

Coupeville 7th grader Tamsin Ward claimed three more wins Thursday during a three-team middle school track and field meet in Langley.

Coming out on top in the 100 and shot put, while also running a leg on a triumphant 4 x 200 relay squad, the young Wolf reached 10 victories on the season.

That leaves Ward one off her pace from last season, when she debuted with 11 wins.

The two CMS teammates closest to her in claiming gold medals are 8th grader Beckett Green and 7th grader Brooklyn Pope, who both have won seven times this season.

Pope joined Ward, Elizabeth Marshall, and Emma Cushman on that 4 x 2 team Thursday, while also claiming an individual title in the high jump.

Green seized the day in the 200, with fellow Wolf 8th graders Johnathan Jacobsen (High Jump) and Roger Merino-Martinez (Long Jump) rounding out Coupeville’s winners.

Host South Whidbey won the girls team titles, while King’s claimed the boys’ crowns.

The day played out in less-than-spectacular conditions, but the Wolves held up well.

“Despite some rainy and cold weather, the middle school athletes had a successful last regular season meet!” said CMS coach Amber Wyman.

“Our athletes gave it their all! We are very proud of their accomplishments and are looking forward to seeing what they can do in their final two meets at Lakewood.”

Those meets comprise the Cascade League Championships, with prelims set for May 22 and finals for May 29.
