Pointing to the future … sort of.

They’re light in numbers, but big on dreams.

With school out for summer, Coupeville Middle School football players are still hard at work, putting in practices under the watchful eye of gridiron guru Bob Martin.

As the Wolves get ready for a campaign which won’t officially start for a few months, they also found time to pose for a few pics, as seen above.

Size doesn’t matter.

Despite being much smaller in numbers than most of its competition, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squads held up well Wednesday at the Olympic League meet.

The Wolves finished second in the boys team standings, trailing just Sequim, which feeds a 2A school, while the girls were third behind ginormous Stevens, which feeds 2A Port Angeles, and Sequim.

Forks, Blue Heron (Port Townsend) and Chimacum also competed in the six-team season finale.

When Coupeville boarded the bus for the trip home, six Wolves ascended the stairs as league champs.

Cassidy Moody (high jump), Ja’Tarya Hoskins (75 hurdles), Morgan Pease (800), Thane Peterson (discus), Matthew Kelley (high jump) and Sean Toomey-Stout (long jump) all ruled their events.

Cresting right at the end.

That’s what the Coupeville Middle School track and field team is doing, notching tons of PRs as they head towards the finish line of the season.

Competing at a three-team meet in Port Angeles Tuesday, the Wolves compiled an astounding 35 personal bests as they prepped for the season finale.

That comes Wednesday, May 25, when CMS travels to Sequim for the league meet.

For now, they can bask in the afterglow of a strong afternoon on the oval and in the field, where Jillian Mayne (long jump, javelin, shot put) and Matthew Kelley (long jump, discus, high jump) paced the squad with three PRs apiece.

They went a long way for a lot of PRs.

Having made it off the Island — unlike the high school softball squad, which was left high and dry by a low tide — the Coupeville Middle School track and field team made it to the mainland Tuesday and wandered down to Sequim.

Once there, the Wolves put on a run ‘n gun show, battling their hosts and Forks in a three-team meet.

“LOTS of PR’s!!!!,” said a very happy coach, Elizabeth Bitting, after she, fellow track guru Bob Martin and their team completed the long trek and finally made it back home.

The track sheets I have only listed yesterday’s times, though, so you’ll have to guess where the records were set.

Think of it as a fun little side game.

Let the PRs rain down.

Competing at a three-team meet in Port Townsend Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squads racked up 44 personal bests, spreading those out among 28 competitors.

The Wolves also brought home a new school record, courtesy the 8th grade boys 4 x 100 relay team of Jean Lund-Olsen, Jaylen Nitta, Sean Toomey-Stout and Nick Wielandt.

When it came to personal accomplishment, Ashleigh Battaglia was the front-runner, nabbing PRs in all four of her events (100, 75 hurdles, long jump and discus).

Jake Mitten, Ben Smith and Sam Wynn paced the boys with three PRs each.
