It has been a spring to remember.

As the smallest 1A school in the state, Coupeville High School has overcome the odds at every step, sending athletes to the state tournament in (count ’em!) five sports.

Wolf baseball has been, girls’ golf (Christine Fields) is there right now and track (Makana Stone), softball and boys’ tennis (Ben Etzell and Aaron Curtin) all hit the road Thursday morning for the trek to various locales in Eastern Washington.

It’s been six years since baseball made it this far, 12 for softball and Etzell and Curtin are the first boys’ tennis players to go to the big dance during Ken Stange’s run as CHS tennis coach.

Enjoy it while it happens. Spring 2014 — one pleasant surprise after another.

"Incoming missile and..."

“Incoming missile and…

another birdie for me!!"

another birdie for me!!”

Christine Fields is tearin’ the joint up.

Playing in the 1A state girls’ golf tourney for the third straight year, the Coupeville High School junior is in fifth place after Wednesday’s opening round.

Fields, who finished 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore, teed off at high noon in Lake Spanaway and was red-hot all the way round the links, carding an 84.

Defending champ Bree Wandersheid of Goldendale is atop the leader board with a 76, followed by Lauryn Keating of Elma (78), Hannah Roh of King’s (81) and Kendra Meeker of Friday Harbor.

South Whidbey’s Rosie Portillo, who Fields plays along side during the regular season, shot an 87 and will join her Wolf compatriot in Thursday’s second round.

Coupeville made it to state in five sports this spring.

Coupeville made it to state in five sports this spring.

Dear ATM, grab a few more hundred dollar bills and go wipe your sweet, sweet tears with them.

Whidbey Island ruled this spring.

There are eight teams in the 1A/2A Cascade Conference, and Coupeville and South Whidbey combined to claim 10 of the conference’s 23 appearances at state.

Both the Wolves and Falcons were represented in five of the six spring sports, as geographically isolated public schools came in ahead of the big bucks, scholarship-offering, big city programs.

Archbishop Thomas Murphy (four sports) and King’s (three) couldn’t match the Whidbey schools, while Cedarcrest (two), Sultan (two), Lakewood (one) and Granite Falls (one) trailed far behind.

Coupeville was the only school to send both its baseball and softball teams to state, while also qualifying in girls’ golf, track and boys’ tennis (the season is in the fall, but state in the spring).

South Whidbey was right there with the Wolves, with baseball, boys’ soccer, girls’ golf, track and girls’ tennis represented.

Track was the great equalizer, as all eight schools got athletes through to state, while softball and tennis were the most demanding, with only two schools hitting pay dirt in each sport.

Breakdown by sport:

Baseball — Coupeville, South Whidbey, ATM

Softball — Coupeville, Sultan

Boys’ soccer — ATM, King’s, South Whidbey

Golf — Coupeville, ATM, King’s, South Whidbey, Cedarcrest

Track — Coupeville, ATM, King’s, South Whidbey, Cedarcrest, Granite Falls, Sultan, Lakewood

Tennis — Coupeville, South Whidbey

It’ll be a familiar trip.

After carding an 87 Tuesday at the Gold Mountain Golf & Country Club to claim fifth place at Tri-Districts, Christine Fields is state bound for the third straight year.

The Coupeville High School junior continues to rise in her sport, having finished seventh at Tri-Districts as a freshman and sixth a season ago.

Now, she’ll return to the Lake Spanaway Golf Course in Tacoma May 27-29 for another crack at a girls’ 1A state links title.

The first day is a practice round, with the 36-hole tourney officially kicking off May 28.

To play through to the second day, you have to be in the top 20 (including ties) after the opening round.

Fields made the cut in both of her previous seasons, finishing 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore.

“I’m coming for all your state titles!!”

Survive and move on.

That’s the mantra for Coupeville High School junior golfer Christine Fields as she navigates the postseason for the third time.

A two-time state qualifier (she finished 8th as a freshman and 15th as a sophomore), she’s cleared two out of the three hurdles to getting back to the pristine championship golf course at Lake Spanaway.

First Fields rallied on the back nine at the Cascade Conference championships, carding a 40 to sail in with an 88 for her travel around the links.

That nailed down a top-five finish and should earn her All-Conference honors once again.

Then she did just well enough at Sub-Districts Wednesday in Bellingham to punch her ticket to Tri-Districts, the last stop before state.

“Made the cut!,” Fields said. “Shot a 101, but who cares, I’m moving on!!”

Tri-Districts will be May 20 at Gold Mountain Golf and Country Club and state is May 28-29.
