Let the PRs and wins rain down.

The weather report Wednesday promised death and destruction, or at least epic-sized hail, lightning, and thunder, but the Coupeville High School track team is too quick for Mother Nature.

Putting up a strong team-wide performance in Mount Vernon, the Wolves collected 13 wins, 69 PRs and a triumph in the boys’ team standings at a 10-team meet.

The CHS male athletes, spurred on by eight victories, racked up an even 200 points to stay way ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which finished with 126.5.

On the girls’ side of things, MVC survived a three-way battle with La Conner and Coupeville to claim the team title.

The Hurricanes amassed 158 points, with the Braves (125.5) and Wolves (114) hot on their heels.

Lyla Stuurmans (800, 1600), Cael Wilson (High Jump, Pole Vault), Katie Marti (Shot Put, Discus) and Carson Field (800, 1600) each won two events, while Preston Epp was tops in the 400 and ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit.

He was joined by Marquette Cunningham, Davin Houston, and Chase Anderson on that squad.

Rounding out Coupeville’s winners were Matthew Ward (Triple Jump), Aleksia Jump (Pole Vault), and George Spear (3200).

The results left Wolf coaches suitably impressed.

“They’re in a groove,” said Bob Martin. “Great meet — fast, focused, and ahead of the storm!”

Part of Coupeville’s squad returns to action this Saturday with an appearance at the Stanwood Freshman/Sophomore Showcase, with the spotlight fully turned on the young guns.

It’s a strong early showing.

With an emphasis on early.

The track and field season is only two meets deep for Coupeville High School athletes, but the Wolves are already putting up top-notch performances.

800 — Lyla Stuurmans (4th) 2:33.53

1600 — Stuurmans (10th) 6:18.15

Big meet, top performances

Time to run with the big boys (and girls).

The second track and field meet of the season sent Coupeville High School’s squad way down the road Saturday, where the Wolves vied at the 24-team Rainier Icebreaker.

The meet drew schools from numerous classifications, but the Wolves, repping a 2B school, more than held their own.

Coupeville’s boys placed fifth in the team competition, while their female counterparts claimed 14th overall.

Onalaska’s boys and Rainier’s girls came out on top in the point chase.

While Coupeville didn’t claim any individual wins, the Wolves did collect three second-place performances, with two of those being ties among teammates.

Katie Marti was runner-up in the javelin, while Cael Wilson shared second place in the high jump and pole vault with Davin Houston and Axel Marshall, respectively.

Toss in 22 PR’s spread out amongst 19 Wolves, with Isa Mc Fetridge, Liam Blas, and Ari Cunningham notching two apiece to lead the way, and CHS coaches came away pleased.

“Beautiful afternoon, high energy, new faces — team came in hungry for success!” said Bob Martin.

Coupeville returns to action next week with two meets. Up first is a trip off-island Wednesday, Mar. 26 for a Northwest 2B/1B League meet hosted by Mount Vernon Christian.

Wolf track opens season with a roar

They have the numbers and the talent.

Boasting one of its biggest rosters in program history, the Coupeville High School track and field team made its presence felt Wednesday at a season-opening 11-team meet in La Conner.

The Wolf boys ran away with the team title, racking up 182.5 points, while their nearest competition, Mount Vernon Christian and La Conner, finished with 88 and 87 respectively.

On the girls’ side of things, CHS earned third place with 100.67 points, trailing just MVC (144.5) and La Conner (129.5).

Three Wolves double-dipped on opening day, bringing home titles in a pair of events.

Lyla Stuurmans (800, 1600), Cael Wilson (Pole Vault, High Jump), and Carson Field (800, 1600) were two-time winners, while Aleksia Jump (Pole Vault), George Spear (3200), and Katie Marti (Shot Put) also claimed crowns.

Rounding out Coupeville’s winners were its 4 x 100 boys’ relay team comprised of Marquette Cunningham, Preston Epp, Davin Houston, and Chase Anderson.

“Great first meet!” said CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting.

“A little rain, a little wind, and a lot of PRs – we’re so proud of the team!”

After finishing round one with 10 wins, 95 PRs, and a team title, the Wolves will get right back at it this Saturday, Mar. 22 when they compete at the Rainier Icebreaker.
