Zoe Trujillo flies free.

The camera never blinks.

The weather in Coupeville might not have been summer-like Wednesday, but, at the very least, it wasn’t raining.

That made life a bit easier on paparazzi John Fisken as he jumped from event to event, clicking away, as CHS hosted its first home track meet of the season.

Runnin’ for the top spot!!

A trio will lead them.

As it preps for its first home meet of the season (2:45 PM Wednesday), the Coupeville High School track and field team currently has three athletes vying for the top of the leader-board.

With two meets under their belts, Wolf senior Jacob Smith and juniors Lindsey Roberts and Danny Conlisk have all posted times which place them among the top 10 performances by a 1A athlete this spring.

Smith is a two-timer, currently sitting 3rd in the 200, with a time of 23.27 seconds, and sixth in the 100 at 11.57.

Roberts is sixth in the 100 hurdles (16.17) and Conlisk is 10th in the 400 (53.53).

There are six more regular-season meets after Wednesday’s home bout, where CHS welcomes Chimacum, Port Townsend, Klahowya and Mount Vernon Christian to town.

So, plenty of time for the Wolf trio (and others) to make even more of an impact on the state-wide standings as the season develops.

Smith finished 3rd and 4th at the state meet in the 200 the past two seasons, while Conlisk was 5th in the 400 a year ago.

Roberts claimed 4th in the hurdles in 2016, and made it back to Cheney as a sophomore, but was tripped up (literally) in the finals, finishing out of the medal count in the event.

Wait ends, celebration begins!!

Our long national nightmare is over.

Well, one of them, at least.

It took longer than normal, but results have finally surfaced from Wednesday’s four-team track meet at North Mason, and the word was good for athletes wearing the red and black of Coupeville High School.

Despite facing a pair of large 2A schools (Olympic and the meet hosts), along with 1A rival Port Townsend, the Wolves claimed second-place in the girls team standings.

Finishing with 59 points, the CHS women finished hot on the heels of Olympic (61), while North Mason (36) and PT (25) brought up the rear.

On the boys side Olympic (59) ran away with the win, followed by North Mason (53), Coupeville (30) and PT (18).

The Wolves captured nine individual wins on the day, with Lauren Bayne (high jump), Catherine Lhamon (1600), Lindsey Roberts (200), and Mallory Kortuem (400) winning varsity contests for the girls.

Ja’Tarya Hoskins also claimed a win in the 200 JV race.

On the boys side, Chris Battaglia (javelin), Danny Conlisk (400), Ryan Labrador (shot put) and Jacob Smith (200) climbed to the top of the varsity podium.

Well … we’re waiting!!

   Waiting for the ferry on a beautiful early spring day (you know, back in that time before a rainy winter returned).

Abby Parker finds her inner bliss.

Coupeville track parents are always up for a road trip.

Lauren Bayne enjoys her day.

In our modern, go-go world, we expect everything super fast.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled, but with high school track teams using Athletic.net to post their results in recent years, I’ve grown used to stats popping up almost as soon as the meet is done.

Not so this week, as Coupeville’s trek to North Mason Wednesday for a four-team meet continues to go unreported.

The word on the street is the hosts had $55,000 in timing equipment — and yet, here we sit, an ungodly 24 hours after said meet (I know, I know…) without a whisper of a word on the results.

Athletic.net currently shows a whopping four guys from Port Townsend in the 400, and that’s it.

While I self-righteously say, “Boo,” some track pics to keep your mind off the greatest injustice since … well … that last time I got self-righteous.

   Thane Peterson contemplates the state of the universe before flinging his discus into the great unknown.

A day after her birthday Lindsey Roberts gets airborne in the hurdles.

The shoes were tightly tied, the shot puts were flying and the cameras were clicking.

Thursday brought the start of a new high school track and field season, and the presence of all three Whidbey Island schools in one location was enough to draw John Fisken out of hiding.

The camera bug hit the Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor, and the Coupeville-heavy pics seen above are courtesy him.

And, when you do, remember, purchases fund college scholarships for CHS student/athletes. Circle of life and all.
