When he’s not working on his interpretive dance moves, Dalton Martin is a threat in both throwing and running events.

Makana Stone can beat you a billion ways.

So far this spring, the fleet-footed Coupeville High School junior has chosen to focus on five ways, with her performances in each of those events putting her among the 13 best among all 1A competitors.

Stone sits third in the 400 and ninth in the 200, while helping anchor relay teams that currently have the second, fourth and thirteenth fastest times.

Her five top times puts her atop the Wolf team, but Sylvia Hurlburt, Marisa Etzell and Lauren Grove are hot on her heels, all boasting four Top-50 performances.

On the boys side, Lathom Kelley and Dalton Martin lead the way with three Top-50 finishes each.

Snappy pics to tide you over!!

Of course it’s sunny today.

In typical high school spring sports fashion, a day when nothing is scheduled to be played is balmy and delightful.

Friday saw clouds, rain and the cancellation of both CHS events — a girls’ tennis match at Friday Harbor and a softball game down in Langley.

And now, with spring break upon us, there is a general dearth of games for a bit.

If it wasn’t for a rescheduled (for the 17th time) home softball game against Concrete Tuesday, April 7 (first pitch, weather permitting, 4 PM), no Wolf squad would be playing for an eight-day period.

Both baseball and softball hit the field Friday, April 10 to play La Conner, re-kicking spring sports off.

As you wait out the dry period, here’s a few snappy pics, courtesy John Fisken, to remind you of what Coupeville spring sports would look like … if any of the teams were playing.

Relay teams roar!!

Coupeville girls’ track just put the rest of the state on notice.

The Wolves don’t have the depth to win dual meets, but the athletes they do have are coming for all your titles.

Displaying a burst of dominance Thursday at a four-team meet in Langley, Coupeville’s relay squad (Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Grove, Marisa Etzell) cruised to big wins in both of its races.

Along the way, they threw down times that match virtually any other school in 1A.

After their performance against South Whidbey, Granite Falls and Archbishop Thomas Murphy, the Wolves have the second-fastest 4 x 200 time in their class and the fourth-fastest in the 4 x 100.

Just for good measure, Stone added a third title, zipping past all comers in the 200.

On the boys side of things, sophomore Mitchell Carroll was the biggest star on the day, nipping teammate Connor Thompson to claim first in the triple jump.

Complete results:

GIRLS:

100 — Marisa Etzell (4th) 14.19; Allison Wenzel (14th) 15.32

We’re just here for the PRs!!

Back up.

If you’re going to try and record Dalton Martin’s throws this season, you might want to get a little bit further out, as the Coupeville High School junior is starting to unleash his full power.

Nailing PRs in both the shot put and discus at a six-team meet at Kingston Thursday — he won the discus and finished second in the shot — Martin was the biggest Wolf star on the day.

He wasn’t the only winner, however, as the girls 4 x 200 relay team (Marisa Etzell, Sylvia Hurlburt, Lauren Grove and Makana Stone) zipped to victory.

The same unit also finished second in the 4 x 100, while freshman Lauren Bayne finished second in the 1600.

Continuing his life-long trend of picking something up and immediately being a success at it, CHS junior Lathom Kelley hefted the javelin for the first time in competition, claiming second.

With their thin roster, the Wolves, reppin’ the smallest 1A school in the state, had little chance in the team competition, as 2A North Kitsap strolled to dual wins.

Kingston, also a 2A school, Coupeville’s 1A Olympic League rival, Port Townsend, and 1B Clallam Bay and Neah Bay rounded out the field.

Complete results:

GIRLS:

100 — Marisa Etzell (4th) 14.51

Sharing a moment…

A moment Hurlburt can’t let go of.

Losey and Martin stare wistfully.

Jacob Smith (left) joins his relay compatriots for some team bonding (and wistful staring).

I’m not sure I want to know…

This is exactly how they warm up every day. True story.

Track practice is not for running, it’s for goofing off with the cameraman.

On his way to snap pics at the CHS boys’ soccer game Wednesday, John Fisken stopped by the track oval and convinced some of the gathered Wolves to pose for him.

The pics above capture some of the most fleet-footed young men and women in Cow Town, doing what they do best … posing for photos.

Oh yeah, they’re pretty good at running too.

But, priorities please. Photos above all else. Always.
