The Magnificent Seven still rides high.

As track and field teams move towards the start of the postseason, the competition is getting ever more cutthroat, and it shows up when you look at the top 10 lists.

A week ago, 10 Wolves could claim a time or distance which put them among the best 1A had to offer.

Seven days later, three of those CHS athletes — Danny Conlisk (1500), Jakobi Baumann (3000) and Jordan Ford (pole vault) have been bumped, through no fault of their own.

For the moment, at least.

But while the list is an ever-changing beast, seven Coupeville athletes are holding strong, led by senior Makana Stone, who appears four times — twice as an individual, twice as a relay runner.

And one of those relay squads, the 4 x 200 girls team of Lauren Grove, Lindsey Roberts, Stone and Sylvia Hurlburt, remains on target to do something that has happened only once in school history — win a state title.

Currently ranked #1, and by almost a full two seconds, they are the team to beat going forward through league, district and state meets.

While CHS has multiple state track title winners in individual events, the only time the Wolves have brought home a title in a relay event was in 2006, when Chris Hutchinson, Jon Chittim, Kyle King and Steven McDonald won the 4 x 400.

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

Girls:

400 — Makana Stone (6th in 1A) 1:00.78

800 — Stone (7th in 1A) 2:21.89

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

4 x 200 — Grove, Roberts, Stone, Hurlburt (1st in 1A) 1:47.00

Boys:

200 — Jacob Smith (9th in 1A) 23.08

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

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

Big day, big wins!!

Lathom Kelley, practicing the look he gives foes before he rips out their very soul.

Lathom Kelley is The Natural.

In six years of high school and middle school track, the Coupeville High School senior had never competed in the triple jump before Thursday.

So, how did he do in his debut on the big stage at Kingston High School?

Crushed it.

Soaring six and a half inches further than any of his foes in a 14-man field, Kelley made off with the win, one of two for him on the day.

Toss in his other victory (long jump), plus wins for Dalton Martin (discus), Makana Stone (800) and the girls 4 x 200 relay team, and Coupeville more than held its own on a day in which it faced off with three 2A schools and a pair of 1B teams.

The Wolf boys, who set 15 PRs on the day, finished second in the team standings, while the girls, who notched 14 PRs of their own, claimed third.

2A Olympic ran away with both titles, while Kingston, Port Angeles, Clallam Bay and Neah Bay also participated in the meet.

Relay mates Zoe Trujillo (back) and Avalon Renninger celebrate.

And so it begins.

A brand new middle school track season officially kicked off Wednesday, as Coupeville hopped over to Port Townsend for a three-team meet.

Bringing 42 athletes, the Wolves outnumbered their hosts from Blue Heron Middle School, who had 26, but fell way short of Stevens.

A large school that funnels students to 2A high school Port Angeles, Stevens had a whopping 119 athletes on site.

Even so, Coupeville dominated the day.

“We undoubtedly won the meet,” said CMS coach Bob Martin. “Our athletes swept many of the events; they’ve put in the work and it showed!”

With so many athletes involved, Martin and co-coach Elizabeth Bitting did extraordinary work keeping track of Coupeville’s stats.

Keep in mind, it’s the first meet, everything was topsy-turvy and a good chunk of these athletes are new to Coupeville Sports and try not to go bonkers if I flip some numbers or names here.

Fleet-footed duo Jaylen Nitta (left) and Jean Lund-Olsen work on relay hand-offs.

Hoops star Mason Grove hopes to follow in the track footsteps of highly-successful older sister Lauren.

“A camera?!?!?!?! Yeah, we don’t need to practice…”

Mikaela Labrador is on the move.

Avalon Renninger (left) and Sage Downes are back at it again, preparing to destroy all their rivals at yet another sport.

He’s not on the CMS team yet (one more year), but Logan Martin is already a natural.

Sean Toomey-Stout (left) takes the baton from Nick Wielandt and prepares to hit Mach-3.

The countdown has begun.

Coupeville Middle School’s track and field team makes its debut Wednesday, with a meet in Port Townsend, and the Wolves are deep into preparations.

As they went through a practice Monday, wanderin’ photo man John Fisken, who was in town to shoot CHS baseball, softball and tennis, stopped by to snap some pics.

The photos above are courtesy him.

If you like what you see, maybe buy him a Diet Coke. I hear he likes ’em.

Reach for the top!!

Jacob Smith, when he’s not being carried around by Mckenzie Meyer, is actually pretty quick. (Deb Smith photo)

Jacob Smith has joined the party.

The Coupeville High School sophomore set a PR in the 200 Thursday, and his jump forward in time (or, technically, his decrease in time) propelled him into exclusive territory.

He now sits with the sixth-fastest time in the event among all runners in 1A this season.

That lands him in our semi-weekly wrap-up of Wolf track and field athletes who have times or distances which put them among the top 10 performances in Coupeville’s classification.

It’s currently a ten-pack, with six Wolf boys and four girls, all headed up by the fastest 4 x 200 girls relay team in the land.

So, without further ado, CHS Top 10 performers through Apr. 23:

Girls:

400 — Makana Stone (5th in 1A) 1:00.78

800 — Stone (4th in 1A) 2:21.89

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

4 x 200 — Grove, Roberts, Stone, Hurlburt (1st in 1A) 1:47.00

Boys:

200 — Jacob Smith (6th in 1A) 23.08

1500 — Danny Conlisk (10th in 1A) 4:45.09

3000 — Jakobi Baumann (10th in 1A) 11:46.14

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