Give them a track and they will run.
Coupeville Middle School track and field coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Jon Gabelein hosted the first intramural meet of the pandemic-altered season Thursday afternoon.
The gathered athletes competed in eight events, from sprints to throws.
While CMS is not competing against other schools during the 2020-2021 school year, intramurals are keeping the young Wolves active.
There will be four middle school meets, falling on consecutive Thursdays, this spring.
“I hope all who made it out to today’s meet had an enjoyable time!,” Bitting said.
“I hope lots of lessons were learned on the oval today,” she added. “And come Monday, athletes will start working on areas they feel they need to focus on and strive to improve on at the next meet.”
The CMS coaches gave a special shout-out to Ivy Rudat, “who willingly jumped into the relay race due to one team member not being at the meet.”
“She had never ran in a relay before, had not practiced the baton exchange and ran beautifully!,” Bitting said.
