They beat the rain by a day.

The wet stuff is falling all over the place Friday, but Thursday it was clear skies for the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad as they traveled down the Island to tangle with arch-rival Langley.

While we don’t have results to post yet (we’ll have to see if Langley coaches pull a Northshore and fail to report anything to athletic.net or step up and makes the whole Island proud), we do have photos.

They come courtesy of John Fisken, and, if you like them, head over to the link below to see more (and possibly purchase some). A percentage of all sales goes to fund college scholarships for CHS student athletes.

P.S. — I don’t know all the middle school students by sight, so some photos have names. Others don’t.

There have been three middle school track meets this season, and yet I have reported results from only two.

Why, you ask?

Because Northshore Christian Academy can’t get its stuff together, that’s why.

After hosting Coupeville and King’s May 14, Northshore, as the home team, would be expected to post results to athletic.net, the clearing house for all things track related.

They didn’t, though, stiffing the Wolves, both in person and online, leaving CMS without times or distances in any event.

Nothing was posted, nothing was announced in person.

Nada. Zip.

Boo, Northshore! You had one job, and you blew it.

If they had posted times, we’d be able to tell you that 7th grade stars Lindsey Roberts (6:33) and Reed Richards (6:34) set PRs in the 1600.

Well, I guess I just did, thanks to the efforts of CMS coach Janie Rosenkrance, who hand-timed that event, and mom Sherry Roberts, who passed on the info.

But, if you came here looking for stats on Chris Battaglia, the Eck brothers or Kalia Littlejohn, go check with Northshore, cause that apparently is a secret not to be revealed.

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/
