They’re winners in and out of the classroom.

Three-sport Coupeville High School senior athletes Katie Marti and Landon Roberts have been selected as the final Lions Club Students of the Quarter for the 2024-2025 school year.

The duo will be honored May 21.

The Lions Club, which has awarded scholarships to CHS students for over 87 years, picks its top students each quarter, then selects two as the Students of the Year come graduation time.

All 12th grade students are eligible for the quarterly award, which is voted on by school staff.

Criteria include “community service, effort, character, social relationships, scholarship, and sportsmanship when applicable.”

Katie Marti, daughter of Christi Messner and Frank Marti, has played softball, track, volleyball, and basketball during her high school career.

She was the starting setter and a team captain for the CHS spikers as they earned a 4th place trophy at the 2B state tourney this past fall, the best finish in program history.

Marti, who has been named to multiple All-League teams for her athletic accomplishments, is also a member of the National Honor Society and Captains Club and a busy bee in the world of community service.

Some of her volunteer activities have included Lions Leo Club, beach cleanup activities, assisting with youth basketball clinics, Race the Reserve, Coupeville Water Festival, Coupeville Arts Festival, Lions Club Auction, and Mussel Fest.

A lover of science and math who carries a 3.7 GPA, Marti is a lifeguard and teaches swim lessons in the summer.

She plans to attend Western Washington University and major in marine biology.

Landon Roberts, son of Sherry Bonacci and Jon Roberts, has played baseball, basketball, and cross country for the Wolves, while being named a captain in all of his sports.

Like Marti, he’s in the National Honor Society and is always on the move.

Roberts operates a landscaping business, works part-time at Sunnyside Cemetery, and has been involved in the Lions Club garage sale, Race the Reserve, and the Booster Club’s annual fundraising dinner.

A mentor to young athletes, he also officiates youth sports.

Devoted to the arts of welding and woodworking, Roberts has a 3.6 GPA and plans to attend a technical college in Washington state.

While there, he wants to obtain certification and an AAS in welding and fabrication, while trying out for the baseball team.
