Awards season neared an end Tuesday night.

Somewhere out there in the near future, there’s still letters and team awards to be handed out to the track and field team, but, as graduation roars up on Coupeville High School, all the big trophies, plaques and handshakes have been delivered.

Among the awards handed out Tuesday were four aimed at senior athletes.

Sponsored by military branches, they’re a semi-sneaky way for the armed services to get their name on campus, while not requiring any administrators or athletes to officially endorse the military.

Madison Tisa McPhee and Nathan Lamb were picked for the U.S. Marine Corps Distinguished Athlete Award, while the U.S. Army Reserve National Scholar/Athlete Award went to Haley Marx and Luke Pelant.

Weird coincidence: all four played soccer.

Tisa McPhee was also a sensational track star, bringing home two medals from the 1A state track meet (3rd in the 100 hurdles, 5th in the 4 x 200).

Lamb was the #1 player on the Wolf boys’ tennis squad and Marx was a co-captain on the girls’ basketball team.

The Circle of Life continues in the sports world.

Former Coupeville High School assistant track and football coach Mike Davis, who coached Wolf throwers during Hunter Hammer’s junior and senior seasons, is moving to Hammer’s current school just as he leaves.

Davis is replacing Mary Parker as the throwing coach at Everett Community College.

Parker and Hammer are off to help start a track program at Trinity Lutheran College, a four-year institution in Everett, with Parker coaching and Hammer throwing things as far as he humanly can.

Most recently, Davis coached throwers at Lynnwood High School. Among his athletes there was 2012 3A state champion shot putter Andrew Basham, who is now headed to the University of Washington.

The biggest building block is in place.

As the school starts up a new track and field program during the 2013-2014 season, Trinity Lutheran College in Everett is starting by bringing in The Man, The Myth, the Legend that is Hunter Hammer.

The Coupeville High School grad, a six-foot-seven tower of power who melts down the internet every time he posts pictures of himself riding little kids tricycles or sporting naughty policeman uniforms, was one of five recruits who signed with the school this week.

He’s following coach Mary Parker over from Everett Community College, where he’s been throwing the shot put, discus and hammer for the past two seasons.

Parker is a former NCAA Division 1 All-American who competed at the US Olympic Trials, and she will coach the throwers for Trinity.

Joining Hammer in signing was Fiji-born thrower Tavaita Ruth Bulai and three runners — Colton Austria of Hawaii, Amie Torkelson of Cheney and Camilla Flores of California.

The former Wolf, who finished 6th in the shot and 8th in the discus at the 1A state tourney during his CHS days, earned All-NWAACC honors throwing the discus at EVCC.

Trinity Lutheran is a four-year college that was founded in 1944.

Meet Jared Smith. Yep, that's his name now. So much easier. (Shelli Trumbull photo)

     Meet Jared Smith. Yep, that’s his name now. So much easier. (Shelli Trumbull photo)

From now on I’m calling him Jared Smith.

So much easier.

It appears, after all my wailing over athletic.net misspelling Jared Helmstadler’s name as Jared Helmstadter (see article right below this one) that it was they, and not everyone else, that was right in the first place.

Every one of the Coupeville High School boys’ tennis and basketball rosters that I have from this, his freshman year, are flat-out wrong.

There never was an L there to begin with and that comes straight from his mom.

So, it always been a TER, not a LER, and knowing is half the battle.

The other half of the battle is going back through this site and changing all the L’s for T’s. In 44 freakin’ articles.

Sweet son of a …
