Every second counts. Every inch matters.

As the high school track and field season turns towards the homestretch, every week presents a shuffling of the top marks across the state.

That’s shown this time around, as Coupeville stars try and hold on to their places among the best athletes in the 2B classification.

For the moment, Lyla Stuurmans (800) and Cael Wilson (long jump), who were in the top 10 last Monday, get bumped. But they can get back in.

The Wolves host the Coupeville Classic Invite this Saturday, April 26, before beginning the postseason run through the league, district, and state meets.

The finish line nears, but the battle rages.

Where the Wolves sit among all 2B athletes statewide through April 21:

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Katie Marti (10th) 32-11

Pole Vault — Aleksia Jump (10th-tie) 7-00

BOYS:

400 — Preston Epp (10th) 52.48

800 — Carson Field (6th) 2:05.43

Track goes on the attack

“Way to show up and show out!”

The trek out to Forks is a fairly long one, but a worthwhile one, especially in the eyes of Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

The Wolves were up at the crack of dawn Saturday, primed for a long day, but the choice to take part in the Forks Lion Club Invitational was the right one.

“No rain, some sun, and a whole lot of speed!” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“Great racing and jumping all around, with tons of PRs and some impressive placings.”

The trip was a change from the original schedule, which had the Wolves slated to go to Cashmere today.

Joining the fracas in Forks allowed Coupeville to take more athletes than the other option, and it paid off with the CHS girls claiming a team title at the seven-team meet.

The Wolf boys finished with a solid second-place performance in the team standings, trailing only 2A powerhouse Olympic.

Along the way, Coupeville racked up nine wins and 29 PRs, with Lyla Stuurmans pulling off the double delight with victories in the 800 and 1600.

She was joined by Matthew Ward (triple jump), Aleksia Jump (3200), Carson Field (800), Olivia Hall (400), Cael Wilson (high jump), Katie Marti (discus), and the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.

After bouncing across the backroads of America, the Wolves will get to stay closer to home for their next meet, as they host the Coupeville Classic Invite next Saturday, April 26.

That will be the final regular-season event before the postseason run begins.

You can start calling him Tate the Great.

Saturday was a standout day for Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a sophomore track and field athlete plying his trade a state away.

Competing on his home turf at the Oregon Tech Invitational in Klamath Falls, the former Wolf put in his strongest performance of the season, winning two of three events he vied in.

Wyman soared 21 feet, eight inches in the long jump, setting a PR and finishing an impressive eight inches better than anyone else in the field.

He also ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit which set a season best at 42.66 seconds, before finishing the day as part of a 4 x 400 squad which hit the tape in 3:38.27, earning 5th.

Coming off today’s home meet, the Hustlin’ Owls are slated to be back in action next Saturday, April 26, traveling to Salem, Oregon for the Berney Classic.

Let it fly!

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, kept busy Saturday, competing in three events at the Middlebury Invitational in Vermont.

The former Wolf topped out with a 4th place finish in the javelin, tossing her implement 93 feet, nine inches.

Jump also chucked the hammer 101-10 and smashed her PR in the discus with a throw of 77-05.

The triple-threat performance allowed her to keep a season of success rolling along, but she’s not done yet.

Plattsburgh State is slated to be in Canton, New York next Friday, April 25 for the SLU Twilight Invite hosted by St. Lawrence University.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, was a top-notch volleyball player (school and club) and track and field athlete during her days growing up in Coupeville.

Sunny skies, sizzlin’ performances

It was a day for winners.

Hosting its first home meet of the season Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team went wild in the sun, racking up 12 wins, 62 PRs, and a ton of positive memories.

Toss in a team title for the Wolf boys, and the fact that an athlete accidentally left behind by Orcas Island eventually got retrieved, and things were fairly peachy all around.

“Thanks to our all-star crew, it ran smoother than a sprinter on a tailwind,” said CHS coach Bob Martin.

“Christi Messner, Jen Marzocca, Aimee Bishop, and Barbi Ford worked their magic on the timing system, Jerry Helm fired the gun like a pro, and Neil Rixe caught every finish with eagle-eyed precision.

“Huge thanks to the incredible coaches who jumped in to help run events, so every athlete had a chance to shine.

“And let’s not forget our legendary team parents — fueling the crew with hot chili, soup, and enough snacks to power a relay team. It truly takes a village to run a meet, and Coupeville showed up in style.”

The Wolf boys topped the 13-team field with a 219-point explosion, putting them way ahead of runner-up La Conner (103), while the Wolf girls (98) were third, behind Mount Vernon Christian (185) and La Conner (111.5).

Axel Marshall (left) and Cael Wilson discuss strategy.

Cael Wilson led the way, picking up three individual wins (high jump, pole vault, long jump), while also running a leg on a triumphant 4 x 400 relay squad.

Carson Field (800, 1600, 3200), Katie Marti (discus, javelin), Lyla Stuurmans (800), and Matthew Ward (triple jump) also came out on top, as did the boys 4 x 100 unit.

The Wolves get back at it this Saturday, but with a change in their game plan.
