It was a day for PRs, and cookies.

Competing at a three-team meet in Port Townsend Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School track squad ripped up its record books.

Logan Martin smashed his PR in the turbo javelin by an astonishing 47 feet, and that was just the start.

Others making big moves included Ben Smith (a 24-foot improvement in the javelin), Emily Fiedler (a 10-foot jump in the same event) and Catherine Lhamon (a 22-second time drop in the 800).

“I could go on and on!! It was a good day!!!,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

The Wolves return home for their first meet on the school’s new track Tuesday, May 9.

Former Wolves can be found in places other than baseball or softball diamonds.

Dalton Martin, a freshman at Everett Community College, is busy pursuing his dream of chucking the discus at the next level, and his latest stop was in Bellingham.

Competing at the 36th annual Ralph Vernacchia Track and Field Meet at Civic Stadium Saturday, he unleashed a throw of 137 feet, 10 inches.

That gave him 10th place in a field of 20 competitors.

During his high school days, Martin became the first Coupeville High School athlete in 116 years to earn three throwing medals at the same state track meet.

He finished 2nd in the discus and 8th in the shot put and javelin as a senior.

That last event was a bit of a surprise, as Martin had only thrown the javelin once in competition before that postseason.

Double winners (4 x 100 and 4 x 200), it’s (l to r) Mallory Kortuem, Maya Toomey-Stout (red hoodie), Lauren Grove and Lindsey Roberts.

Sarah Meyer (right) basks in the glow of daughter Mckenzie, a two-time winner (pole vault, 4 x 400).

One side was a rout, the other a brawl.

Winning 11 of 17 events, the Coupeville High School girls track squad crushed host Port Townsend and 2A North Mason Friday afternoon.

The Wolves, who swept all three relay races and had double individual event winners in Lucy Sandahl, Skyler Lawrence and Lindsey Roberts, finished the final regular season meet with 96 points.

That put them well ahead of PT (40) and North Mason (26).

On the boys side, three points separated the three teams.

Port Townsend slipped away with the win, compiling 57 points to North Mason’s 55 and Coupeville’s 54.

The Wolf boys won four events, with Cameron Toomey-Stout (Long Jump), Gabe Carlson (800), Jacob Martin (Javelin) and Mitchell Carroll (Triple Jump) triumphing.

Sandahl swept the 800 and 1600, Lawrence won the Shot Put and Discus and Roberts couldn’t be topped in the 100 Hurdles or Long Jump.

Mckenzie Meyer (Pole Vault) and Lauren Grove (200) rounded out the individual CHS winners.

Having wrapped a 10-meet season, Coupeville kicks off the postseason with an appearance at the Olympic League Championships May 6 at North Kitsap.

The Wolves host the league’s JV Championships May 8, then it’s on to sub-districts, districts and state for those who qualify.

Middle school track? It’s back!!

Coupeville Middle School track coach Elizabeth Bitting shares results with some of her athletes. (Deb Smith photos)

Ben Smith waits for his moment to shine.

The weather in Port Angeles was a constantly changing affair.

A new season begins.

Packing 20 or so athletes onto the bus, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad headed to Port Angeles Wednesday, where it clashed in a three-team meet.

While there, the Wolves faced one team (Forks) comparable in size and one (host Stevens) which had 140+ athletes.

And yes, that is supposed to say 140 and not just 40…

While the Wolves had no shot at bringing home team titles in those kind of conditions, they did battle for individual glory, with Jake Mitten (High Jump) and Ja’Kenya Hoskins (60-yard dash) winning their events.

“We had some standout performances,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “We were able to get some places.

“We had rain, wind, sun, a little bit of it all.”

Now, as you gaze upon the following results, give me a little leeway, since A) I’m going off of handwritten results and a couple of numbers were tricky to decipher and B) not a single bit of this is appearing in the Whidbey News-Times.

So, here we go, and let’s see how close I got to reality.

Girls (8th grade):

800 — Catherine Lhamon 3:36.20

1600 — Lhamon 6:31.00

High Jump — Emily Fiedler 4-00

Turbo — Fiedler 62-09; Lhamon 43-09

Girls (7th grade):

60 — Ja’Kenya Hoskins 8.75

100 — Kiara Contreras 16.23; Bella Velasco 16.25; Angelina Gebhard 17.07

200 — Hoskins 20.14

800 — Alana Mihill 2:37.00

4 x 100 Relay — Gebhard, Ella Colwell, Noelle Daigneault, Velasco 1:07.52
