It was a classic beatdown.

Winning 12 of 18 events Saturday at the Coupeville Classic Invite, the Wolf boys track and field team destroyed its competition.

When all the points were added up at the regular season finale, CHS male athletes had racked up a score of 190.5.

Or more than the other four teams combined.

Put the scores of Mount Vernon Christian (50.5), East Jefferson (45.5), Clallam Bay (39), and Neah Bay (21.5) together, and they equal 156.5 points.

Sweet sassy molassy.

On the girls’ side of things, everything was a wee bit closer, with MVC (120) taking the team title, followed by Coupeville (93), East Jefferson (88), Neah Bay (62), and Clallam Bay (16).

Top performers included Katie Marti, who claimed three individual titles, winning the shot put, discus, and hammer throw.

Combine relay team wins with individual victories, and Chase Anderson (4), Preston Epp (3), and Cael Wilson (3) topped the Wolf boys.

All in all, it made for “a fast and furious day on the prairie” according to CHS coach Bob Martin.

“Tons of PRs, great team energy, and another strong showing by our volunteers and parents,” he said. “Hard work is paying off!”

Up next for the Wolves is the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships, set to go down May 7 in La Conner.

After that, for those who advance, will be districts and the state championships.
