The end is near.

The high school track and field season is down to its final three meets, with Coupeville set to compete at league, district, and (hopefully) state competitions over the next 26 days.

As the Wolves, and their many competitors, have battled this spring, the best times and distances across the state have been ever-changing.

One moment you’re in the top 10, the next you’re fighting to get back in, and on and on.

Each Monday we pause to take a look at the stats for athletes in the 2B classification and see how the Wolves compare with stars from other schools.

So, let’s do the dance again.

As the postseason run begins, here’s where Coupeville students pop up on the current top 10 lists on May 5:

Shot Put — Katie Marti (5th) 34-01

Bring out the roses.

With the last week of the regular season upon us, the coming days will feature Senior Night festivities for three of four Coupeville High School spring sports teams.

That’ll be the second and final match of the week for the netters, who kick things off by traveling Monday to Granite Falls.

Meanwhile, the CHS softball squad caps its regular season run at home Tuesday with a rumble against Granite Falls as well.

For Wolf baseball, the final series features a road trip to Mount Vernon Christian Tuesday, followed by Senior Night at home Thursday afternoon.

And while CHS track and field has already honored its seniors, the team stays busy, competing at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships Wednesday in La Conner.

Quiet bats sting hardball squad

The bats came up empty.

Three South Whidbey pitchers combined to toss a no-hitter Saturday in Langley, sending the Coupeville High School baseball squad tumbling to a 10-0 loss in a game mercy-ruled in the sixth inning.

The non-conference defeat drops the Wolves to 6-11 overall as they prep for their final regular season series.

CHS will play two next week against Northwest 2B/1B League leader Mount Vernon Christian, hitting the road to the mainland Tuesday before welcoming the Hurricanes to Cow Town Thursday.

The finale is Senior Night, when the Wolves will recognize Landon Roberts and Jesus Madrigal for their contributions to the program.

Saturday’s tilt between next door neighbors featured both teams using a three-man pitching rotation.

Wolf hurlers Camden Glover, Trent Thule (making his varsity mound debut), and Roberts combined for eight strikeouts, but Coupeville was stung by five errors in the field.

Meanwhile, Falcon pitchers Malachi Pierson, Sage Northup, and Grady Davis prevented CHS from collecting a single base knock, limiting the visitors to four walks while K’ing up 12 batters.

CHS coach Steve Hilborn didn’t have many runners arrive at third Saturday afternoon.

With South Whidbey playing error-free ball behind its pitching staff, the Wolves had limited runners and never got any of them close to scoring.

Coop Cooper got a free pass in the top of the first, Glover nabbed one in the sixth, and Coupeville put Carson Grove and Jayden Little aboard in the second on back-to-back walks.

But that was it for the Wolves, with 13 straight hitters being retired between the walks to Little and Glover.

South Whidbey, which improved to 9-8 with the win, chipped away at the plate all day, pushing three across in the first inning and another run in the second.

Two more runners tapped the plate in the fourth to push the lead out to 6-0, before the Falcons ended things prematurely with another four runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Tom Fallon’s hometown team racked up nine base hits, with Northup, Pierson, and Aiden Aburto Flores each smacking a double to lead the way.

Coffman and crew rumble to gridiron title

Posted in Football, tagged , , , , on May 3, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Dominic Coffman continues to tear up the gridiron in Spain.

Back-to-back-to-back.

The Las Rozas Black Demons football squad, which includes Coupeville grad Dominic Coffman, have made it three consecutive Spanish Bowl titles.

They did it in style, crushing the Badalona Dracs 36-14 Saturday to complete an undefeated season and once again sit atop the Liga Nacional de Futbol Americano.

Badalona is the old-school rulers of the LNFA, having won 11 titles between 1998-2021, but Coffman and Company are now running things.

The former Wolf, who was the Northwest 2B/1B League MVP during his senior season at CHS, rambled for 1,265 yards as a running back this year while playing on both sides of the ball.

During his younger days, Coffman went to the state tourney in football, basketball, and track and field for the Wolves before graduating in 2023.

Off to the end zone.

CHS grad delivers on big stage

Taygin Jump

No matter the day or time, she’s going to give you her best.

Taygin Jump’s odyssey at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships went a bit longer than expected this weekend, but the former Wolf finished with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, started the two-day meet in Cortland, New York on Friday by finishing sixth in the javelin toss, uncorking a throw of 94 feet, two inches.

Then she and her fellow competitors started the hammer throw, only to have poor weather shut things down early.

Instead of finishing Friday, Jump and company returned to the arena at the crack of dawn Saturday, with Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister setting a PR by launching her implement 127-08.

That was three inches better than her previous collegiate high-water mark and earned the Cardinal thrower ninth place out of 20 contestants.

Jump, who played school and club volleyball and competed in track and field during her CHS days, is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology at Plattsburgh.
