Another week in the books; another week of watching the numbers move up and down.

Every meet produces new results, as the statewide Top 10 performance list for 2B track and field athletes fluctuates.

As we sit here on Mar. 31, there are 12 Coupeville High School stars on that tally, with Cael Wilson appearing twice.

And, if state titles were given out in March instead of May, Wolf senior Carson Field would join an exclusive list, as he currently tops everyone in the 800.

But there’s still a long way to go, so check back next week, and the week after that, and so on.

For now, at this moment:

 

GIRLS:

800 — Lyla Stuurmans (6th) 2:33.53

Shot Put — Katie Marti (6th) 32-08

Pole Vault — Aleksia Jump (10th) 7-00

 

BOYS:

800 — Carson Field (1st) 2:05.85

3200 — George Spear (6th) 10:53.38

4 x 100 Relay — Marquette Cunningham, Matthew Ward, Preston Epp, Chase Anderson (7th) 46.20

High Jump — Cael Wilson (4th) 6-00; Davin Houston (6th) 5-08

Pole Vault — Wilson (5th) 11-06; Axel Marshall (7th) 10-06

Wyman wows ’em, again

Tate Wyman

Tate Wyman probably ate his Wheaties.

Fueled by something, the Coupeville grad had a stellar day Saturday while competing as a collegiate track and field athlete.

Wyman, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, set two PRs, and narrowly missed a third, while vying at the Cal Poly Humboldt Invitational in Arcata, California.

The former Wolf ace claimed 4th place in the long jump, traveling 21 feet, eight inches through the air — nearly five inches better than his previous top performance.

He also finished 10th in the 100 in 11.31 seconds — almost a full second better than his previous PR — and hit the tape in 11th in the 200 in 23.03.

Wyman’s best mark in the last of those events is 22.94.

Ayden and Devon’s older brother was a standout track and cross country runner during his CHS days, helping the Wolves finish 2nd in the 4 x 100 at the state championships during his senior season.

Oregon Tech returns to action April 5 with an appearance at the Jenn Boyman Invitational in McMinnville, Oregon.

“The future is looking bright!”

Young guns, having some fun.

That’s not just lyrics from an extra-bouncy 1982 song by Wham, but also an apt description of Saturday’s track and field meet.

Coupeville High School sent its young bunch on the road for the Stanwood Freshman/Sophomore Showcase, returning with 26 PRs and a win in the 110 hurdles from Axel Marshall.

Competing against a packed field of bigger schools, the Wolves claimed seventh place in the freshman boys’ team standings and eighth among sophomores, while the CHS girls were ninth best in both competitions.

Lake Stevens (boys) and Stanwood (girls) finished atop the reader board for freshmen, with Arlington coming out on top in both sophomore battles.

Marshall narrowly missed a double dip, finishing 2nd in the 300 hurdles, while Wyatt Fitch-Marron was 2nd in the freshman high jump.

Toss in some third and fourth-place finishes, plus a lot of personal bests, and the young Wolves made their mark in the big time.

“Great showing by our freshman and sophomore athletes today, well done!” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “The future is looking bright!”

With Spring Break upon them, the Wolves, young or old, don’t have another meet for a bit.

Coupeville returns to action as a complete team Thursday, April 10, when it travels to Shoreline to join Archbishop Thomas Murphy, Shorecrest, and Shorewood for an afternoon of competition.

Wolves storm to strong showing

Let the PRs and wins rain down.

The weather report Wednesday promised death and destruction, or at least epic-sized hail, lightning, and thunder, but the Coupeville High School track team is too quick for Mother Nature.

Putting up a strong team-wide performance in Mount Vernon, the Wolves collected 13 wins, 69 PRs and a triumph in the boys’ team standings at a 10-team meet.

The CHS male athletes, spurred on by eight victories, racked up an even 200 points to stay way ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which finished with 126.5.

On the girls’ side of things, MVC survived a three-way battle with La Conner and Coupeville to claim the team title.

The Hurricanes amassed 158 points, with the Braves (125.5) and Wolves (114) hot on their heels.

Lyla Stuurmans (800, 1600), Cael Wilson (High Jump, Pole Vault), Katie Marti (Shot Put, Discus) and Carson Field (800, 1600) each won two events, while Preston Epp was tops in the 400 and ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit.

He was joined by Marquette Cunningham, Davin Houston, and Chase Anderson on that squad.

Rounding out Coupeville’s winners were Matthew Ward (Triple Jump), Aleksia Jump (Pole Vault), and George Spear (3200).

The results left Wolf coaches suitably impressed.

“They’re in a groove,” said Bob Martin. “Great meet — fast, focused, and ahead of the storm!”

Part of Coupeville’s squad returns to action this Saturday with an appearance at the Stanwood Freshman/Sophomore Showcase, with the spotlight fully turned on the young guns.
