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.

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:

Jump

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.

Lauren Bayne

Makana

   The brief moment when (l to r) Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lathom Kelley are slow enough to be photographed.

Two state championships.

If the season ended now, two months early, that’s what the Coupeville High School girls’ track team would own.

The Wolves currently own the fastest time in both the 400 (Makana Stone) and 4 x 200 relay (Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt, Stone) among all 1A schools who have reported on athletic.net.

Of course, the season doesn’t end until May, so any mythical titles will have to wait, but CHS has come out of the gate strongly.

The Wolves currently sit in the Top 10 for 1A in seven different events:

GIRLS:

200 — Makana Stone (5th) 27.17

400 — Stone (1st) 1:01.09

4 x 100 — Marisa Etzell, Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt (2nd) 53.13

4 x 200 — Pelroy, Grove, Hurlburt, Stone (1st) 1:52.69

4 x 400 — Etzell, Pelroy, Stone, Lauren Bayne (5th) 4:31.31

BOYS:

200 — Lathom Kelley (4th) 23.83

4 x 100 — Jacob Smith, Jared Helmstadter, Dalton Martin, Kelley (8th) 46.87

It wasn’t his longest throw ever, but it had the biggest impact.

Launching the discus a season-best 114 feet, two inches Saturday at the Port Angeles Invitational, Wolf junior Dalton Martin captured the first win of his three-year CHS track career.

His exploits, besting an 11-man field at the 13-team meet, earned him the spotlight along side the girls’ 4 x 200 relay unit (Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt and Makana Stone), which destroyed all foes in claiming their own title.

Led by the relay win, and several third-place finishes, the Coupeville girls finished sixth in the team standings.

They beat 2A Kingston, outpaced Olympic League rivals Klahowya and Port Townsend and had the best finish of any 1A school.

The Wolf boys, who have a thinner roster, finished ninth.

The meet drew six 2A schools, four 1A schools and three 1B schools for an afternoon of competition.
