“By the power of Grayskull … fly like the wind!!” Allison Wenzel gets medieval on her javelin. (John Fisken photos)

Jared Helmstadter flies down the back stretch.

Spider ... SPIDEEEEEERRRRR!!!" Connor Thompson gets ambushed during the triple jump. Or so I'd like to think...

“Spider … sweet Lord … SPIDEEEEEERRRRR!!!” Connor Thompson gets ambushed during the triple jump. Or so I’d like to think…

Abby Parker puts every last ounce of her heart and soul into the finish of the 800, setting a PR like a boss.

After Dalton Martin let loose with this throw, he turned green and ripped his shirt in half.

Skyler Lawrence reaches down deep and finds her inner groove, chucking the discus to a PR.

“Dalton rest now. Dalton want lemonade. Chop chop!!”

That little something extra.

It’s what every track and field athlete is looking for, and every cameraman.

A lot of Wolf athletes pictured here found that extra something Saturday, setting PRs and hitting big throws and quick times at the Olympic League championships.

Merrily clicking away, John Fisken also found that something special, and he was nice enough to let us gaze upon his work.

Socks, photo bombs and side-eye? Oh my!!

Alien invasion? Zombie attack? Dalton Martin and his Discuses o’ Death will save the day. (John Fisken photos)

Drawn like a moth to the light, Kathy Bayne (middle) launches a photo bomb on Josh and Eileen Stone.

Kristin Hurlburt pops in to join daughter Sylvia and Stone, who has already seen this scenario play out … all freakin’ afternoon.

That moment when you’ve won the race but realize you’re deathly afraid of the camera, unlike shoeless but eternally photo op-ready Hurlburt and Makana Stone.

Zippy (and color-coordinated) boys relay team (l to r) Connor Thompson, Jacob Smith, Lathom Kelley and Jared Helmstadter.

Helmstadter’s socks (sort of) match Stone’s shoes.

Marisa Etzell weighs in: “Yes, Jared, you’re pretty damn stylish. I get that. I just don’t want to talk about your socks anymore…”

Delaney Armstrong (left) and Lauren Grove kill time between events. “Jared’s socks are blowin’ up on Twitter!!”

It’s official. Stone is fast.

Now we can talk about times and throws and who placed where.

Or, we can just bask in the glow of some pretty freakin’ awesome pics snapped at the Olympic League track and field championships by our resident Diet Coke-guzzlin’ lens man, John Fisken.

You’re not even reading these words, are you?

Fine, get yourself back to Eileen Stone droppin’ side eye, photo bombs goin’ off everywhere and the glory that is Jared Helmstadter’s socks.

#JaredsSocks, soon to be trending on Twitter. You read it here first!

Stone, Martin reign supreme!!

Their future is so bright, they have to wear shades. CHS relay whiz kids (l to r) Lauren Grove, Marisa Etzell, Hurlburt and Stone.

1A. 2A. It matters not.

Crushing everyone from the other 10 Olympic League schools, Coupeville High School juniors Makana Stone and Dalton Martin emerged as league track and field champs Saturday.

Stone roared to a victory in the 400, and I do mean roared.

Coming down the backstretch she was in a battle with a runner from 2A Sequim, then put on the jets.

Photo man John Fisken, who was on the scene snapping pics, described it as the other girl vanishing from the photos as Stone flipped on the afterburners.

“It was a fun race to watch,” Fisken said. “She just left the other girl in the dust!”

Martin made a huge jump himself, launching his personal best throw in the discus by a good five feet to claim the top spot on the medal podium.

The league meet, held at North Kitsap High School, united the four 1A schools with their counterparts from 2A.

While the bigger schools, with their much deeper rosters, dominated the team scoring, Coupeville, the smallest 1A school in the state, held its own against its closest rivals.

The Wolf girls finished ahead of 1A foes Chimacum, Port Townsend and Klahowya, while the boys tied with Klahowya and edged out Chimacum.

That strength should come into play next weekend when Coupeville travels to Bremerton for sub-districts.

That meet will feature just the four 1A schools, with the top three finishers in each event advancing to districts May 22-23.

A fourth-place finisher will also advance if their time/throw proves to better than the fifth place athlete at the Nisqually League meet.

“Nearly everyone on the team should qualify,” said Coupeville coach Randy King. “We hope for a big contingent!”

The top two in each event at districts goes to the state meet in Cheney May 29-30.

While Stone and Martin captured the spotlight Saturday, the girls relay teams and sophomore thrower Skyler Lawrence also made huge strides.

Both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay units (featuring quicksilver Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Grove, Marisa Etzell and Stone) posted season-best times and came dangerously close to busting school records.

All that, and Grove spent much of the day being seriously ill. Get her healthy and records will likely topple.

Lawrence launched her best discus throw of the year and “is on her way to reaching quite a bit further.”

The life of a track star — sitting around, waiting for your event to be called.

“By the time they get this race started, we’ll be in college…”

Lindsey Roberts is in a hurry.

The Coupeville Middle School eight grader hasn’t been caught in a race this year yet, adding four more wins (200, 1600, 100 hurdles, 4 x 100 relay) to her resume Thursday in a three-team meet in Langley.

Oh yeah, and Roberts also set PRs in all three of her individual races. No big deal, just another day at the (oval) office.

The Wolf girls were especially strong in the relays, winning the 4 x 100 in both the 7th grade race (Mallory Kortuem, Avalon Renninger, Tia Wurzrainer, Maya Toomey-Stout) and 8th grade contest (Roberts, Ashlie Shank, Emma Smith, Jasmine Nastali).

On the boys side, CMS won seven events, sweeping the long jump (Sean Toomey-Stout, Gabe Eck), High Jump (Mason Testroet, Chris Battaglia) and 1600 (Tucker Hall, Danny Conlisk).

Battaglia was a two-time champ, also claiming first in the discus.

The meet brought together Island rivals Coupeville and Langley, with main-lander Granite Falls tossed in just for fun.

Wolf jumpers (l to r) Cassidy Moody, Tia Wurzrainer, Moira Reed, Nastali and Nicole Laxton do serious prep work before their events.

More Wolves show up. This time, it’s (l to r) Mallory Kortuem, Wurzrainer, Moody, Maya Toomey-Stout, Megan Thorn, Avalon Renninger, Roberts and Shank.

Laxton knows where the camera is. Always.

More photos, less typing.

With results from Thursday’s Coupeville Middle School track meet in Langley not yet posted (simmer down, I’ll keep an eye on athletic.net), we’ll get you primed with a medley of photos.

The pics were shot by two parents who both wish to remain in the background and don’t want photo credits and yes, the focus is on the girls side of the track oval.

If you’re a mom or dad and have shot photos of the Wolf boys, send them my way.

I can only run what I have.

So, here you go.
