Saturday started dank and dark but ended in bright sunshine and Gatorade bath celebrations.
Competing in their home stadium, the Coupeville High School track and field team dominated at the District 1 Championships, claiming 15 wins and setting 37 PR’s.
The cherry on top was a team title for the Wolf boys, as they crushed La Conner and Friday Harbor to finish first among 2B schools.

Coupeville’s girls were nipped by La Conner, while Mount Vernon Christian won both the boys and girls team titles on the 1B side of things.
Aidan Wilson (400, 800, triple jump) claimed three individual titles, topping all Wolves, while Logan Martin (shot put, discus) and Caleb Meyer (100, 200) also made multiple trips to the top of the podium.
Other CHS winners included Lyla Stuurmans (400), Cameron Epp (3200), Carolyn Lhamon (discus), Dominic Coffman (high jump), Mitchell Hall (1600), and Ryanne Knoblich (high jump).
Both of Coupeville’s 4 x 100 relay units won as well.

Everyone who finished in first Saturday clinched a trip to Bi-Districts May 20 at W.F. West High School in Chehalis, the last stop before the state meet.
The Wolves will also be sending other competitors as well, but the total number is in flux as three different leagues finalize their results.
For now, Coupeville athletes, coaches, and fans can bask in the afterglow of Saturday’s performance.
“It was a beautiful day! So many awesome moments!” said CHS girls coach Elizabeth Bitting.
“Mitchell breaking five minutes in the mile!! Aidan winning the triple jump and the 400!! The relay teams PR’ing!!! I can go on and on!!
“They did amazing! We are so proud of the team!”
