Time to clear out some photos.

They’re starting to pile up a bit, so let’s toss out six random pics for a lazy Easter afternoon. They come courtesy travelin’ photo man John Fisken and cover four of Coupeville High School’s six spring sports teams.

I’m short on girls’ tennis and golf pics right now, so that’s the only reason they’re not represented here.

Want to see more?

Head out to a home game this coming week.

Former school record holder Amy (Mouw) Fasolo.

Amy (Mouw) Fasolo won a state track title, graduated, got married, had two children and still her school record in the 400 endured.

Until Thursday.

Eleven years after Fasolo set the mark in 2003, Coupeville High School sophomore Makana Stone knocked her off the big board in just slightly over a minute.

Running at a four-team meet on King’s home track in Seattle, Stone blitzed the field in 60.27. The school record was hand-timed at 60.2 (translates to 60.44 electronic).

The second-fastest time by a 1A runner this season, it came on a cold, wet afternoon, leading CHS track coach Randy King to think Stone will continue to bring the mark down as conditions improve.

“I think she will go faster soon,” he said.

The school record was one of four individual wins for the Wolves as they faced off with King’s, Lakewood and South Whidbey.

Stone also won the 200, Erin Rosenkranz claimed the 3200 and Brandon Kelley won the 300 hurdles.

It’s good to be Ryan Griggs.

Track and field returned Thursday after a two-week hiatus, and the Coupeville High School sophomore was the lone Wolf to win twice at a three-team meet in Duvall.

Griggs set a PR in the high jump, while running the opening leg on a 4 x 100 relay unit that blew the field away. Following in his quicksilver foot steps were Brandon Kelley, Jared Helmstadter and Lathom Kelley.

On the girls side of action, sophomores Makana Stone (100) and Sylvia Hurlburt (200) captured wins for Coupeville.

In the team race, the always-thin Wolves, repping the smallest 1A school in all the land, finished third behind 2A biggies Lakewood and Cedarcrest.

Coupeville’s Wonder Twins turn 17 tomorrow.

Marisa and Lucas Etzell will celebrate their birthdays in different countries, but the bond between the siblings never fades.

Both strong athletes — Marisa is a standout CHS soccer player and state meet veteran as a track runner, while Lucas is a Gold Medal-winning basketball player in the Special Olympics — they join older brother Ben and younger brother Nick to form a fearsome foursome.

They each have their own style.

Marisa is quiet but strong, able to hold her own with three brothers, while Lucas can talk to anyone, anytime and works his way through a crowd like a politician on the campaign trail, glad-handing everyone in sight.

They are both making an impact on the world, and it begins with their bond with each other.

May they celebrate many more birthdays together.

Larry’s lil’ sister makes a name for herself!!

Posted in Cheer, Track, tagged , , , , on April 8, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Sylvia Hurlburt -- keeping alive the family tradition of being awesome.

Sylvia Hurlburt — keeping alive a proud family tradition of being awesome.

It’s never been about competing with each other.

Larry and Sylvia Hurlburt are siblings who always seem to be there for each other, the first person to congratulate the other one when they triumph in life — which is often.

Before he graduated from Coupeville High School, Larry advanced to the state meet in track. Last year, in her freshman year, his little sister stepped up and did the same.

Running as part of a very talented pack of younger runners that includes fellow sophomore Makana Stone and junior Marisa Etzell, Sylvia, who celebrates her birthday today, helped break school records and bring home a medal from last year’s state meet.

This year it’s already been more of the same for the sprinter and relay whiz.

She’s a year-round athlete, as well, helping to lead two Wolf cheer squads and carry on the name of her former cheer mentor, Sylvia Arnold, the “big” to her “little.”

Plus, she seems to be a genuinely smart, friendly young woman full of grace. So she’s got that going for her, which is nice.

Remember the name, because you’ll hear it a lot in the coming months and years. And that’s a good thing.
