They went a long way for a lot of PRs.

Having made it off the Island — unlike the high school softball squad, which was left high and dry by a low tide — the Coupeville Middle School track and field team made it to the mainland Tuesday and wandered down to Sequim.

Once there, the Wolves put on a run ‘n gun show, battling their hosts and Forks in a three-team meet.

“LOTS of PR’s!!!!,” said a very happy coach, Elizabeth Bitting, after she, fellow track guru Bob Martin and their team completed the long trek and finally made it back home.

The track sheets I have only listed yesterday’s times, though, so you’ll have to guess where the records were set.

Think of it as a fun little side game.

Some Wolves saved their best for last.

Competing Monday in Silverdale at the Olympic League JV Championships, four Coupeville High School track stars set a pair of personal bests.

Emma Smith, Ashlie Shank, Dominic Dausey and Ariah Bepler recorded two PRs apiece, part of a team-wide run of 10 on the day, at an event known as the “last chance qualifier.”

With all 11 Olympic League teams (seven 2A and four 1A schools) in attendance, athletes had a final chance to nail a time or throw which would qualify them for next weekend’s sub-district meet at Bremerton.

To gain entry to that event you have to be in the top eight for your event among all 1A athletes in the league.

From there, athletes have the chance to advance on to districts and state.

While Monday’s meet was mostly about individual achievement, team scores were kept, with Klahowya taking the boys title and the Eagles tying with Port Townsend for the girls title.

Coupeville, which had one of the smallest rosters in attendance, still did well, claiming fifth of 11 teams in the boys battle and 7th for the girls.

The Wolves were led by three second-place finishes, with Alexxis Otto (shot put), Jakobi Baumann (3200) and Bepler (long jump) besting most of the field.

Complete CHS results:

GIRLS:

100 — Ashlie Shank (8th) 14.63 *PR*; Madison Rixe (11th) 14.90

Plus one.

The Coupeville High School track and field squad emerged from the first round of the postseason — Saturday’s Olympic League All-Division Championships — in fine fashion.

The Wolves were the top 1A team in both the girls and boys team battles, while getting one of the state’s best performances from senior pole vaulter Jordan Ford.

He soared 12-6, shattering his own school record, while putting himself back up among the best 1A vaulters in 2016.

That means Coupeville has athletes in the top 10 in eight different categories heading into next week’s sub-district meet.

Makana Stone jumped four spots in the 400, Jacob Smith edged up two slots in the 200 and the girls 4 x 200 remained #1 in 1A, while dropping its time slightly.

Wolves who have one of this year’s 10 best performances in 1A:

Girls:

400 — Makana Stone (2nd in 1A) 58.55

800 — Stone (7th in 1A) 2:21.89

4 x 100 — Lauren Grove, Lindsey Roberts, Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt (5th in 1A) 51.10

4 x 200 — Grove, Roberts, Hurlburt, Stone (1st in 1A) 1:46.90

Boys:

200 — Jacob Smith (7th in 1A) 23.01

300 hurdles — Lathom Kelley (4th in 1A) 41.48

Discus — Dalton Martin (3rd in 1A) 158-05

Pole Vault — Jordan Ford (9th in 1A) 12-6

Maybe they should order some more title banners?

By the time the Olympic League All-Division Championships were done Saturday, both of the Coupeville High School track and field teams exited Poulsbo as top dogs.

The Wolves finished 6th out of 11 teams in the boys team battle and 8th on the girls side.

More importantly, both squads finished ahead of 1A rivals Port Townsend, Chimacum and Klahowya, while the boys also beat 2A schools Bremerton and North Mason.

Large 2A schools North Kitsap (boys) and Olympic (girls) topped the standings, which featured a full-tilt battle between the seven 2A schools and four 1A schools which currently call the league home.

Coupeville will send different athletes to the league’s JV Championships Monday in Silverdale, in an event which is considered a “last chance qualifier” before the full postseason run starts next weekend.

The Wolves travel to Bremerton Saturday, May 14 for sub-districts.

After that come districts May 20 and the state meet May 26-28 for athletes who qualify.

Saturday was topped by a school record, two wins, the fastest time recorded by a 1A relay team this year and 12 PRs.

Wolf senior Jordan Ford shattered his own school mark in the pole vault, soaring 12-6, a full six inches higher than his previous best.

Meanwhile, Makana Stone (400) and Dalton Martin (discus) ended up at the top of the awards stands, while the girls 4 x 200 relay unit burnt up the oval.

Ripping off a season-best time of 1:46.90, the quartet of Lauren Grove, Lindsey Roberts, Sylvia Hurlburt and Stone sit more than two seconds ahead of every other 1A team as they continue their quest for the promised land.

The only relay team in school history to win a state title is the boys 4 x 400 in 2006.

The strong work in the 4 x 2 made up for a rare snafu in the 4 x 1, where a juggled baton hand-off left the Wolf girls bringing up the rear for the first time this season.

Almost everywhere you looked Saturday, someone was doing something spectacular, with 10 Wolves nabbing PRs.

Leading the pack were senior Lathom Kelley (triple jump, long jump) and freshman Danny Conlisk (800, 1600) who nailed personal bests in both of their events.
