Track sending a pack to state

Welcome to our track. Now prepare to bow to us.

Throwing down under sunny skies Saturday on the prairie, the Coupeville High School track and field team dominated at the District 1/2 meet.

The Wolves swept both team titles on the 2B side of things, while racking up 13 wins and 22 PRs.

“Good day all around,” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “Coupeville athletes putting in the work.”

Along with their wins and PRs, the Wolves qualified 18 athletes for the state championships, which go down May 23-25 in Yakima.

Of those Wolves, three — Preston Epp, Carson Field, and Nick Guay — punched their tickets in three events.

Meanwhile, Lyla Stuurmans, Cael Wilson, Katie Marti, Reese Wilkinson, and Marquette Cunningham advance in two categories apiece.

The number of Wolves headed to Eisenhower High School for the big dance could actually go higher than 18.

To qualify for state, you had to finish in the top two Saturday, so third-place finishers are alternates, just waiting for a top-two rival to have to decline their bid.

For now, the Wolves will bask in the glow of a magnificent Saturday in the spotlight, then get back to practice as they prep for the year’s biggest meet.

Bow before our magnificence. (Dina Guay photo)

One last throw, then back to practice

Season two is in the books, and it was a success.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin, now a sophomore at Central Washington University, capped his campaign Saturday with an explosive performance at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships in Ellensburg.

The former Wolf claimed sixth place in the hammer throw, out of a field of 16 competitors, earning three points for the Wildcats.

Martin’s best throw on the day went 161 feet, seven inches.

That followed on the heels of another sixth-place finish in the discus Friday, as he scored in both of his events.

Central’s men finished second to Western Washington University in the team standings.

While competition is over until the arrival of indoor track in the fall, Martin will continue to work in the offseason as he chases the big numbers.

They’re pushing hard for the finish line.

Coupeville grads Logan Martin and Tate Wyman were both in action Friday, as they near the end of their collegiate track and field season.

Martin, a sophomore at Central Washington University, claimed sixth in the discus at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships in Ellensburg.

He launched a season-best throw of 138 feet, three inches to kick off a busy weekend.

Martin will get back at it Saturday, when he competes in the hammer throw, his premier event.

Meanwhile, Wyman, a freshman at Oregon Tech, competed in the Cascade Conference Championships in Klamath Falls.

He ran a leg on a 4 x 100 relay crew which earned sixth place, hitting the tape in 42.64 seconds, then came back around to vie in the 110-meter hurdles.

Wyman also finished sixth in that event, zipping across the line in 16.45 to earn three points for Oregon Tech in the team standings.

PRs rain down on a sunny day

The sun was shining, the PRs were popping, and the rivalry was raging.

Coupeville Middle School welcomed next-door neighbor South Whidbey to Cow Town Wednesday, with athletes from the two schools lighting up the oval.

While the Falcons finished atop the team standings, the Wolves held up well against the powerhouse Falcons, claiming 11 wins.

Eighth grader Beckett Green topped CMS, claiming victory in the 100 and 200, while also running a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay squad.

Joining him as dual winners were 7th grade supernovas Brooklyn Pope (High Jump, Long Jump) and Tamsin Ward (100, Shot Put).

Ward, who claimed 11 victories in her middle school track debut a year ago, has a team-high seven wins through the first three meets this season, all in individual events.

With two relay wins and four individual titles so far this time around, Green is hot on her heels, while Pope has racked up five wins in her first season of track.

Along with the wins, Coupeville collected 88 PRs Wednesday.

“Our athletes have been working hard to sharpen their skills and reach even higher speeds,” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“Extra efforts allowed many of them to enjoy earning impressive PR’s tonight!

“With our season already at the halfway point, we look forward to helping them stay focused and moving forward so they can achieve even more during the coming weeks.”

The Wolves get back at it next Thursday, May 16, when they travel to Langley for a rematch with South Whidbey.

Playoff action on tap this weekend

Posted in Baseball, Track, tagged , , , , on May 7, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Welcome to the postseason.

Two of Coupeville High School’s four spring sports programs are in action this Saturday, with berths to the state championships at stake.

Wolf track hosts the district meet here in Cow Town, while CHS baseball hits the road and travels to Lakewood High School.

Softball and girls’ tennis begin their own postseason treks a bit later, but here’s what you need to know if you’re planning on attending this weekend’s action.

 

BASEBALL:

Steve Hilborn’s crew, which has been on a tear in the second half of the season, carries a 10-8 record into play Saturday, and is the top-seeded squad in a three-team royal rumble.

Northwest Christian of Lacey (9-5) opens against Friday Harbor (5-11) at noon in a loser-out game, with the victor returning to the turf field at 2:00(ish) to face Coupeville for the lone state playoff berth from the District 1/2 tourney.

The Wolves will be the home team in their game.

Lakewood High School is located at 17023 11th Ave NE in Arlington.

Playoff pricing is in effect, with both cash and digital ticketing accepted.

Cost is $8 for adults and students without ASB, and $6 for students with ASB, seniors, and children.

To buy tickets online, pop over to:

TRACK AND FIELD:

Things will be hoppin’ at Mickey Clark Field, as Coupeville hosts the District 1/2 meet, with 2B and 1B teams competing (separately) for tickets to state.

For out-of-towners, the field is at 501 S. Main, directly behind the Coupeville Elementary.

To advance on to Yakima, Wolf athletes need a top two finish in their event Saturday.

Field events start at 11:00 AM, with track events getting under way at 11:30.

Once again, it’s the postseason, so there will be hands in your pockets if you want to get past the gate.

Ticket prices are the same as with baseball, and can be purchased on site with cash or through GoFan at:
