“Ready to launch!”

The meet which never ends finally ended.

The two-day Cascade League Track and Field Championships — which has a five-day gap between sessions — wrapped up Wednesday at Lakewood, giving Coupeville Middle School a final chance to impress.

The Wolves came away with a pair of individual wins, thanks to 8th grader George Spear (800) and 6th grader Wyatt Fitch-Marron (High Jump), with the team garnering 19 PR’s.

The victories come on the heels of a win in the 1600 by 8th grader Malachi Somes during the opening session May 26.

One more event, one more award

Coupeville’s Logan Martin threw things really far this weekend. (Eileen Stone photo)

It was a three-day duel.

Rainier High School senior Jeremiah Nubbe is a record-shattering man mountain of a thrower, but Coupeville’s Logan Martin never backed down this weekend.

The pair battled at the 2B state track and field championships in Cheney, with Nubbe capturing shot put and discus titles while breaking meet marks in both events.

Martin claimed second-place twice, helping spark Coupeville’s boys to a 7th place standing among 38 teams.

Sunday, with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association season done, Martin and Nubbe moved from Eastern Washington University to Central Valley High School in Spokane.

This time they were tossing the hammer — which is not part of the WIAA meet — in the 22nd annual Washington State High School Hammer State Championships.

Once again, Nubbe was the kingpin, Martin the only rival who could push him (at least a bit), and Coupeville’s senior hurler is heading back to Whidbey with a third-straight strong second-place showing.

This one isn’t a medal but is instead a plaque crafted from straight-grain fir cut in the late 1940’s, salvaged from bleachers from Central Valley High School.

According to the event’s website, the awards are “laser engraved, with aluminum cut with a waterjet and silicon bronze screws to hold it in place, with a brass rivet for the hammer. All finished with three coats of lacquer.”

In other words, kinda fancy.

They live behind the velvet ropes

“I’m still … The King,” whispers Kyle.

Welcome to the club.

Enjoying the first state track and field meet in three springs after a pandemic shutdown, Coupeville High School athletes got back to doing what they do.

Bringing home medals.

Six Wolves earned their first chunk of state meet glory Friday and Saturday in Cheney, with Dominic Coffman, Reiley Araceley, Ryanne Knoblich, Caleb Meyer, Aidan Wilson, and Logan Martin stepping onto the awards podium.

That brings the CHS state meet medal club to 77 athletes all-time, with those track stars accounting for 187 awards.

From that club, Kyle King has the most state titles, edging Natasha Bamberger 5-4, though the latter also owns a cross country crown.

But Kyle’s younger brother, Tyler, is tops in total medals, and the duo, joined by sister Brianne, are one of three Wolf families to produce three medal winners.

The Hoskins sisters (Jai’Lysa, Ja’Tarya, Ja’Kenya) and the Toomey-Stouts (Cameron, Maya, Sean) are the others, while the Martin (Dalton, Logan) and Hack (Joy, Kevin) families also have sibling winners.

The Fords (Jordan and Uncle Tony) and Roberts (Lindsey and Uncle Jay) are also in the game, with the Beplers (Ariah and dad Mark) the only time a CHS medal winner has sired a future medal winner.

So far.

Our final connection is Yashmeen Knox and Rich Wilson, who both still own school records in the high jump 20+ years after graduation.

They’re the only Wolf duo to win state meet medals, then later marry.

So far.
