The postseason is off to a roaring start.

Kicking off the final three meets of the season, the Coupeville High School track and field team put on an impressive show Wednesday at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

Competing in La Conner, the Wolves racked up 13 wins and 25 PRs, with the boys romping to a team title.

Led by senior Carson Field, who swept to titles in the 800, 1600, and 3200, Coupeville’s male athletes piled up 208 points.

That put them way ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which finished with an even 100.

Orcas Island (80), La Conner (71), Friday Harbor (53), and Concrete (11) rounded out the field.

On the girl’s side of things, MVC (211) held off La Conner (135) and Coupeville (100), with Friday Harbor (65), Orcas Island (24), and Concrete (9) bringing up the rear.

The stellar team-wide performance brought a smile to the faces of Wolf coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting on a wild ‘n woolly day.

“They made a statement!” the coaches said.

“Throw in some wind, a couple of flying canopies, a bit of blood, and unwavering grit – Coupeville tough, through and through.”

The next hurdle for the Wolves is the District 1 meet May 17, which they host.

After that is the state meet May 29-31 in Yakima for those who qualify.

The end is near.

The high school track and field season is down to its final three meets, with Coupeville set to compete at league, district, and (hopefully) state competitions over the next 26 days.

As the Wolves, and their many competitors, have battled this spring, the best times and distances across the state have been ever-changing.

One moment you’re in the top 10, the next you’re fighting to get back in, and on and on.

Each Monday we pause to take a look at the stats for athletes in the 2B classification and see how the Wolves compare with stars from other schools.

So, let’s do the dance again.

As the postseason run begins, here’s where Coupeville students pop up on the current top 10 lists on May 5:

CHS grad delivers on big stage

Taygin Jump

No matter the day or time, she’s going to give you her best.

Taygin Jump’s odyssey at the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships went a bit longer than expected this weekend, but the former Wolf finished with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, started the two-day meet in Cortland, New York on Friday by finishing sixth in the javelin toss, uncorking a throw of 94 feet, two inches.

Then she and her fellow competitors started the hammer throw, only to have poor weather shut things down early.

Instead of finishing Friday, Jump and company returned to the arena at the crack of dawn Saturday, with Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister setting a PR by launching her implement 127-08.

That was three inches better than her previous collegiate high-water mark and earned the Cardinal thrower ninth place out of 20 contestants.

Jump, who played school and club volleyball and competed in track and field during her CHS days, is majoring in Environmental Planning and Management/Geology at Plattsburgh.

New season, new triumphs

Posted in Middle School, Track, tagged , , , , on April 30, 2025| Leave a Comment »

Middle school track and field season is upon us. (Leslie Stoner photos)

Tamsin Ward is back, and so are the wins.

The Coupeville 8th grader kicked off her third, and final, season of middle school track and field Wednesday by doing exactly what she’s done for two years running.

Whomp on people.

Ward, who earned 23 wins across her first two CMS seasons, captured wins in the 100, shot put, and high jump while competing against Northshore Christian Academy and Sultan in her home stadium.

And she wasn’t the only Wolf to have an excellent day, with Diesel Eck and Elizabeth Marshall also claiming parts of three victories.

The former won the shot put and discus while running a leg on a 4 x 100 relay team, while the latter claimed top honors in the 100 hurdles and long jump, then pulled duty on a triumphant 4 x 200 squad.

River Simpson and Cyrus Sparacio were two-time winners, with Coupeville holding its own in the team standings as well.

The Wolf 8th grade girls and boy’s 6th/7th squad captured team titles.

“Our first meet of the season was a great adventure!” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“While some students were more nervous than others about stepping into their first meet of the season, they all showed up ready to work hard and show good sportsmanship at the same time!

“Now that they have their baseline numbers, their continued practice and pushing themselves even more will allow them to generate even stronger results during the coming weeks!”

Ready to rumble.
