They endured.

Competing on a ferociously wet afternoon in Mount Vernon Wednesday, Coupeville High School track and field athletes survived the weather while still piling up a fair number of PRs at a 12-team meet.

April arrived with a deluge, leaving Wolf coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin to shake their heads in wonder.

“Today was a wet one, we haven’t had many meets like that … soaked to the bones,” said the track gurus.

“Even with Mother Nature trying to steal the spotlight, it was a great team effort, and the athletes showed a lot of grit; they did great.”

While the competitors had long since gone home, complete results from the meet took a while to arrive, not being finished until Thursday afternoon.

Once the stats were final, they showed Coupeville finishing 3rd in the boys’ team standings, while the Wolf girls collected a 4th place finish.

Mount Vernon Christian and La Conner earned team titles in the girls’ and boys’ battles, respectively.

Overall, the Wolves earned 18 PRs in the rain, with two wins from freshman Cyrus Sparacio (1600, 3200) and another from the boys 4 x 400 relay squad.

Coupeville’s track stars will have some time to dry out, with spring break keeping them on the sidelines.

The next meet for CHS arrives April 15, when the Wolves host an 11-team meet at Mickey Clark Field.

Sage Arends flies for the finish line.
