The odyssey begins.

The middle school track and field meet that’s too big for just one day began Wednesday in Lakewood, as seven schools clashed in the opening round of the Cascade League Championships.

Day one featured a mix of prelims and finals, with Wolf 7th grader Tamsin Ward crowned as league shot put champ.

The victory was her 11th of the season, tying her with her performance as a 6th grader.

Ward and associates will have another chance to capture glory next Wednesday, May 29, when Cascade League competitors return to Lakewood to finish off the two-day season-closer.

With Coupeville halfway to the finish line, coaches Jon Gabelein and Amber Wyman are feeling good about what the Wolves have accomplished, and what’s still ahead.

“We had 63 students here today,” Gabelein said. “I am very proud of the work so many of our athletes have been doing throughout our season.

“The results of their hard work really showed up tonight!”

It’s been a season-long quest, and the young Wolves have made a solid commitment to growth and improvement.

“Students often hear me say that their great accomplishments are not because of luck or magic,” Gabelein said. “They are proof of their continued hard work and being willing to push themselves to be even better.”

One day from departure.

The Coupeville High School track and field program sends 18 athletes to Yakima Thursday, where the 2B state championships await.

The season concludes in a three-day whirl of competition, with most of the activity set for Friday and Saturday, most likely under warmer temps than we currently have on Whidbey.

As the Wolves count down the hours until they leave town, here’s a look back at action from the bi-district meet in Coupeville.

Weak weather, strong performances

Back in double digits.

Coupeville 7th grader Tamsin Ward claimed three more wins Thursday during a three-team middle school track and field meet in Langley.

Coming out on top in the 100 and shot put, while also running a leg on a triumphant 4 x 200 relay squad, the young Wolf reached 10 victories on the season.

That leaves Ward one off her pace from last season, when she debuted with 11 wins.

The two CMS teammates closest to her in claiming gold medals are 8th grader Beckett Green and 7th grader Brooklyn Pope, who both have won seven times this season.

Pope joined Ward, Elizabeth Marshall, and Emma Cushman on that 4 x 2 team Thursday, while also claiming an individual title in the high jump.

Green seized the day in the 200, with fellow Wolf 8th graders Johnathan Jacobsen (High Jump) and Roger Merino-Martinez (Long Jump) rounding out Coupeville’s winners.

Host South Whidbey won the girls team titles, while King’s claimed the boys’ crowns.

The day played out in less-than-spectacular conditions, but the Wolves held up well.

“Despite some rainy and cold weather, the middle school athletes had a successful last regular season meet!” said CMS coach Amber Wyman.

“Our athletes gave it their all! We are very proud of their accomplishments and are looking forward to seeing what they can do in their final two meets at Lakewood.”

Those meets comprise the Cascade League Championships, with prelims set for May 22 and finals for May 29.

Tamsin Ward fires the shot put.
