The next great track star is on her way.

While sophomore Makana Stone continues to shatter records for Coupeville High School, there’s another fast-rising sensation coming up through the middle school ranks to one day join her.

Coupeville Middle School 7th grader Lindsey Roberts, daughter of former CHS Athlete of the Year winners Jon and Sherry (Bonacci) Roberts, won all four of her events Thursday at a three-team meet in Granite Falls.

With wins in the 200, 1600 and 75 meter hurdles, plus the anchor leg on a victorious 4 x 100 relay squad, she sparked the Wolves to a team win over Lakewood and the host Tigers.

The CMS 7th grade boys finished second, while both 8th grade squads came in third.

Other multiple winners for Coupeville included Reed Richards, Mckenzie Meyer, Chris Battaglia, Ty Eck and Gabe Eck.

The next pack of Wolf track stars is here, and they’ve got talent to burn.

Competing in the first meet of the season, Coupeville Middle School captured 15 titles Wednesday at a three-team meet in Langley.

And with six of those titles coming from the 7th grade girls, that squad bounced Lakewood and Langley to capture the team title.

Sprinter Kalia Littlejohn and thrower Maddy Hilkey were two-event winners for the 7th grade girls’ squad, while 7th grade boys Ty Eck and Chris Battaglia were the big winners on the male side.

Battaglia took home three titles, winning the 1600 and high jump, while also running a leg on a victorious 4 x 200 relay team.

Julia Felici, event organizer (and cookie briber).

These guys, led by mop-topped ladies' man Luke Merriman, could all go tot he dance. Just sayin'. (John Fisken photo)

The next time I say no to an offer of free cookies will be the first time.

Nothing makes me quite as excited to write about an upcoming dance for Coupeville Middle School students as an offer to be paid off in cookies by the event’s organizer.

I am easy, and Ms. Julia Felici knows it, apparently.

So, to fulfill my contract, here’s the info you need and want to know if you are a seventh or eighth grader at CMS or the parent of one who wants them out of the house for a few hours, doing something productive.

When: Saturday, March 29.

Where: Coupeville Nordic Lodge (63 Jacobs Road)

Time: 7-9 PM

Cost: $3.00 (very reasonable)

Open to: CMS students

Put on by: Julia Felici, CHS senior and all-around upstanding citizen (I vouch for her), as part of her community service work with The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls.

Fun facts about Ms. Felici — she got the biggest ovation of the 2012-2013 basketball season when, late in the year, she suddenly broke out moves no one knew she had and hit a dazzling jumper, and her dad, Rick, is a highly-respected Island County cop.

Plus, her mom, Monica, is one of my go-to ladies when it comes to getting free hamburgers from the concession stand ladies at CHS sports events.

So, this is no fly-by-night event organizer. This is a young woman with roots in the community, CMS parents.

Song requests: Can be made by leaving comments at the event’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/435022503298515/

You thought just cause the season was over, we had no more photos to run?

You thought wrong, skippy.

They went out with a bang.

Closing their season, both of Coupeville Middle School’s varsity girls’ basketball teams thumped host Langley Wednesday.

The Wolf 8th grade varsity came out on top 28-22, while the 7th graders rolled to an impressive 33-20 victory over their Whidbey rivals.

The Falcons got a bit of revenge in the JV games, pulling out 12-6 and 6-5 wins.

A season of big wins and big growth now comes to a close, but the ride was worth it for CMS coaches Bob Martin, Brett Smedley, Ryan King and Christine Wright.

“We are so proud of all the girls!,” Martin said. “Wrapped up the season on very well played defensive games!”
