They’re in a groove now.
The second high school track and field meet of the season arrived Saturday, and it was a fairly big one as Coupeville hit the road to participate in the 25-team Rainier Icebreaker.
While far from home, the Wolves found strong competition, a smattering of top times and marks, and, lo and behold, even some blue skies.
“Beautiful weather at Rainier today,” said CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting.
“Funny how nice 52 (degrees) with a little sun feels after dealing with the rain and 30-40-degree temps most of the season.
“We may have even got a little burnt.”
Shining brightly under the sun, the Wolves earned several top-five performances, with sophomore Wyatt Fitch-Marron claiming top team honors with a 2nd place showing in the high jump.
He was joined by fab frosh Tamsin Ward (3rd in the shot put and 5th in the high jump), Lillian Ketterling (5th in the pole vault), and the mixed 4 x 400 relay unit, which hit the tape in 4th place.
That co-ed crew was comprised of Olivia Hall, Brian Thompson, Ketterling, and Edmund Wilson.
Overall, the Rainier girls and Elma boys collected team titles, with Coupeville finishing 14th and 15th, respectively.
With two meets in the books, the Wolf coaches like what they’ve seen, and are anticipating many more highlights to come.
“We saw several PRs and strong performances (today),” Martin and Bitting said. “And we’re looking forward to continued growth over the next month.”
Next up for Coupeville, or at least part of the roster, is a road trip Saturday, Mar. 28 to the 4th annual Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.
