They could fill up a stadium.

Coupeville High School track and field honored 26 seniors Wednesday — 13 girls and 13 boys.

Photo-wise we did pretty well, with pics of 24 of 26 being sent my way.

So, a quick shoutout to Mercedes Kalwies-Anderson and Jermiah Copeland, who are not pictured, but were also part of what is likely the biggest group of seniors to ever come through a Wolf sports program.

Wolf track gets back to work

It’s like the Wild West out here, or at least the version depicted in films.

There’s always another gunfighter coming around the corner, looking to make a name for themselves by plugging you in the back.

Take a week off from competition, like the Coupeville High School track and field team just did, and it’s likely your numbers, no matter how good they are, will slip a bit.

Take a look at the Top 10 list for 2B schools and that’s what you’ll see, as the Wolves only held on to two slots from a week ago.

Carolyn Lhamon is still 3rd in the shot put and Alex Murdy remains 2nd best in the long jump.

Every other Coupeville athlete on the list took a hit, including Lyla Stuurmans (400) and the boys 4 x 100 relay team being temporarily nudged out of the top spot by active athletes.

But there’s good news.

The Wolves get back at it this week, with a home meet Wednesday and a trip to Snohomish Saturday, giving Whidbey’s gunslingers two chances to return fire.

As the season continues to follow its winding path, where CHS athletes land among all 2B athletes through April 17:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (9th) 13.52

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (3rd) 1:03.83

4 x 400 Relay — Claire Mayne, Carly Burt, Aleera Kent, Gwen Crowder (10th) 53.52

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (3rd) 33-09

The Coupeville High School track and field team is doing things a little differently this year.

With 26 seniors on the roster and a hole in the schedule, Wolf coaches have scrambled to add a home meet Wednesday, April 19.

The Coupeville Classic Invitational, set to kickoff at 3:00 PM, allows CHS to have a real Senior Night ceremony, which often doesn’t happen in the world of track.

It also keeps the Wolves active, as they were looking at a two-week gap between off-Island meets.

Coupeville coaches will honor:

Anna Annunziato
Reiley Araceley
Katie Buskala
Dominic Coffman
Jermiah Copeland
Gwen Crowder
Cameron Epp
Josh Guay
Mitchell Hall
Taygin Jump
Mercedes Kalwies-Anderson
Ryanne Knoblich
Carolyn Lhamon
Claire Mayne
Cristina McGrath
Alex Murdy
Anna Myles
Valentina Nadela
Sara Omega
Anthony Smolen
Lavinia Tomba
Josh Upchurch
Tim Ursu
Aidan Wilson

Zip, fling, win — again and again

The finish line inches closer.

With another week of track and field action in the books, the Top 10 rankings for 2B shift, with new names popping up in places, and Coupeville High School making its presence felt.

As of Apr. 10, there are 18 Wolves on the big leaderboard, with CHS owning two #1 slots.

Super sophomore Lyla Stuurmans remains atop the girls 400 rankings, while a boy’s relay team of Tim Ursu, Tate Wyman, Aidan Wilson, and Dominic Coffman are your new leaders in the 4 x 100.

Wilson is currently in the Top 10 in five different events, which is one more than the limit for Washington state prep athletes during a meet.

The Wolf senior is one of eight Wolves to appear more than once, with junior Nick Guay showing up three times.

With two regular season meets left in April, and then the league/districts/state gauntlet in May, things can (and will) still change.

But for now, here’s where the Wolves land among the best in 2B:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (7th) 13.52

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (1st) 1:03.83

100 Hurdles — Claire Mayne (8th) 18.69

4 x 400 Relay — Mayne, Carly Burt, Aleera Kent, Gwen Crowder (8th) 53.52

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (3rd) 33-09

Discus — Lhamon (7th) 97-08

Javelin — Katie Marti (10th) 93-02

High Jump — Ryanne Knoblich (3rd) 4-10

BOYS:

100 — Tim Ursu (6th) 11.64

200 — Nick Guay (7th) 24.12

400 — Aidan Wilson (3rd) 53.08

800 — Aidan Wilson (3rd) 2:04.98

1600 — Mitchell Hall (4th) 4:46.62

300 Hurdles — Tate Wyman (8th) 44.45

4 x 100 Relay — Ursu, Wyman, Wilson, Dominic Coffman (1st) 45.64

4 x 400 Relay — Hall, Hank Milnes, Guay, Wilson (6th) 3:46.96

Discus — Zac Tackett (7th) 127-05

High Jump — Guay (3rd) 5-11; Coffman (4th) 5-10

Long Jump — Alex Murdy (2nd) 19-11.75

Triple Jump — Wilson (4th) 40-01

Welcome to the big show.

The Coupeville High School track and field team traveled to Bellingham Saturday to wage war with much larger schools during the 13th Annual Birger Solberg Track & Field Invitational.

The event drew 54 schools, covering every classification in Washington state (4A-1B), while also hauling in teams from Alaska and British Columbia.

Shorewood, a 3A school, won the team titles, with their girl’s squad holding off 2A Anacortes 76.5-65, and their boys nipping 4A Kamiak 71-68.

Coupeville, repping a 2B institution, scored above its weight class, claiming 20th (girls) and 26th (boys).

Wolf senior Alex Murdy delivered the day’s best performance, finishing 2nd out of 42 competitors in the long jump.

Senior Ryanne Knoblich was 3rd in the high jump while vying with 28 other athletes, while sophomore Lyla Stuurmans — already the fastest female 400 runner in 2B — set a PR in her event.

Coupeville is off for two weeks, at least in terms of competitions, returning to action Saturday, Apr. 22 at the GearUp Eason Invitational in Snohomish.

Saturday’s results:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (41st) 14.35

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (8th) 1:03.83 *PR*

800 — Aleera Kent (27th) 2:45.84

100 Hurdles — Claire Mayne (12th) 18.78

300 Hurdles — Mayne (27th) 56.20 *PR*

4 x 100 Relay — Myles, Mayne, Carly Burt, Ryanne Knoblich (15th) 55.96

4 x 200 Relay — Burt, Knoblich, Issabel Johnson, Stuurmans (19th) 2:06.37

4 x 400 Relay — Mayne, Burt, Kent, Gwen Crowder (16th) 4:53.52

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (5th) 31-06.50; Katie Marti (14th) 26-11.25

Discus — Lhamon (18th) 80-03
