Six down, three to go.

Having cleared March and sailed into April, the Coupeville High School track and field team is two-thirds of the way through its regular season meets.

The Wolves have that aforementioned trio of events on the schedule this month, which will take them to Bellingham, Snohomish, and Lakewood, then open the postseason with the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships May 3.

With one eye on current things, and one eye on the upcoming gauntlet of league, district, and state meets, Coupeville’s top athletes are all trying to post their best times and distances.

As of Apr. 3, there are 14 Wolves — nine boys and five girls — who hold a spot in the top 10 in at least one event when all 2B athletes are compared.

Senior Aidan Wilson leads the way, with five appearances on the big chart, while Dominic Coffman, Carolyn Lhamon, Nick Guay, Mitchell Hall, and Tate Wyman pop up twice.

Wolf sophomore sensation Lyla Stuurmans is currently the only Coupeville competitor to be ranked #1 in an event, as she has the fastest 400 run of the season.

 

Wolves in the Top 10 of 2B:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (1st) 1:04.33

100 Hurdles — Claire Mayne (7th) 18.69

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (3rd) 33-09

Discus — Lhamon (7th) 97-08

Javelin — Katie Marti (9th) 93-02

Logan Martin lets it fly

It was a long, successful day.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin, now a freshman at Central Washington University, launched big throws in two events Saturday in Forest Grove, Oregon.

Competing in the Pacific Open, Martin finished 5th in the hammer throw — out of 30 competitors — and 7th of 28 in the discus.

The former Wolf chucked the discus 140 feet, seven inches, and lobbed the hammer 155 feet.

Both events were well spaced out, with the hammer throw starting at 9 AM, while the discus didn’t get underway until 6 PM.

For dad Bob Martin, who coached Coupeville High School’s track team in Bellingham Friday, then hightailed it to Oregon to watch his progeny in action, the epic time span made one thing clear.

Prep meets may go on for a while, but this was something completely different.

“I’ll never complain about our high school meets again,” the track guru said with a laugh.

There’s no slowing their roll.

Two days out from a dominant performance at a Northwest 2B/1B League meet, the Coupeville High School track and field team remained hot Friday while facing off with bigger schools.

Competing at the eight-team Trojan Twilight in Meridian, the Wolves claimed seven individual wins, with their boys finishing second in the team standings, and their girls landing in third place.

Host Meridian, a 1A school, held off Coupeville 185-154 in the boy’s battle, while no other team tallied more than 73 points on the day.

On the girl’s side, Meridian nipped Mount Vernon Christian 140.5-137.5, with the Wolves earning a rock-solid 97 points.

The meet featured four 1A schools — Meridian, Mount Baker, Blaine, and Nooksack Valley — with Coupeville and Friday Harbor repping 2B and MVC and Lummi Nation hailing from the 1B classification.

Aidan Wilson was the top Wolf, winning both the 400 and 800, while Ryanne Knoblich and Nick Guay swept the high jump titles.

Carolyn Lhamon (shot put), Mitchell Hall (1600), and Lyla Stuurmans (400) also claimed the top spot on the awards podium with their performances.

In addition to their four wins, the Wolf boys also had seven 2nd place finishes, helping boost their team point totals.

Coupeville is scheduled to be back in action next Saturday, Apr. 8 at the Birger Solberg Invitational in Bellingham.

Wolf track rocks the oval

Statement, made.

The Coupeville High School track and field team rolled into Mount Vernon Wednesday and lit up the joint at an 11-team meet.

By the time the day was done, the Wolves had racked up 11 wins, collected 70 PR’s, and won both girls and boys team titles.

Though CHS didn’t get proper credit for some of their performances until Thursday, as scoring and computer imputing issues plagued the meet.

Once things were (mostly) settled, the Wolf girls surged ahead of Mount Vernon Christian in the final team standings, winning a 198-191 duel.

Third place Friday Harbor was well back with 67 points.

On the boy’s side of things, the Wolves were dominant, racking up 212 points, putting them way ahead of MVC (128) and La Conner (96.5)

Coupeville’s wins came courtesy Lyla Stuurmans (400), Carolyn Lhamon (shot put), Aleera Kent (800), Cameron Epp (3200), Claire Mayne (100 hurdles), Zac Tackett (discus), Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Alex Murdy (long jump), Dominic Coffman (high jump) and the boys 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay units.

The Wolves return to action quickly, traveling to Meridian Friday for the Trojan Twilight meet.

Wolves welcome new coaches

No more open jobs.

For the moment, at least.

Coupeville High School/Middle School Athletic Director Willie Smith has filled coaching positions for CHS girls’ soccer and CMS track and field.

Kim Kisch, one of the first booters to play for the Wolf program when it launched in 2004, is coming back around to call the shots as head coach starting next fall.

She replaces Kyle Nelson, who retired at the end of the most-recent season.

Meanwhile, Amber Wyman, already hired to coach middle school cross country, will also pick up coaching duties with the CMS track and field program.

Returning coach Jon Gabelein and Wyman welcome a new squad to the first day of practice Apr. 10, with a six-meet schedule running Apr. 26-May 31.

Before becoming a head coach, Wyman was an assistant helping middle school (now high school) running guru Elizabeth Bitting.

Both hires will be official once approved by the school board.
