Rain drops fell and cameras clicked.

Ignoring the weather as best as possible, the Coupeville High School track and field team made a strong showing Wednesday at a three-team meet in Oak Harbor.

As the Wolves threw, ran, and jumped, photo whiz kid John Fisken snapped away, and the pics above and below are courtesy him.

Wolves run, soar in the rain

Who’s afraid of big schools? Not Coupeville.

With a league meet at Concrete scrubbed, the Wolf track and field squad instead headed up Island Wednesday, joining 3A Oak Harbor and 2A Burlington-Edison in a three-team rumble at OHHS.

And, while 2B Coupeville doesn’t have the roster depth to win team battles against schools two and three rungs higher on the student body count ladder, CHS still made an impact.

The Wolves came away with five wins and 27 PR’s on a nasty “spring” day.

Ryanne Knoblich claimed top honors in the high jump, while Logan Martin (Shot Put), Aidan Wilson (800), Reiley Araceley (110 Hurdles), and Caleb Meyer (400) also earned top dog status in their events.

Wednesday’s triple feature was good preparation for Coupeville’s next rumble, which arrives this weekend.

The Wolves are off to Snohomish for the Gear Up Eason Invitational Saturday, an 81-team mega-meet.

Senior thrower Logan Martin will actually get started a day earlier, as the hammer throw goes down on its own Friday afternoon.

Ever shifting, ever changing.

As seemingly thousands of high school track meets play out across Washington state, the top times and distances are constantly tweaked.

One thing which has remained consistent is a strong Coupeville presence, especially on the boys side of things, when you look at the top 2B performers.

The Wolves have three regular season meets left in April, then charge into the postseason beginning the first week of May.

As they prep for the stretch run, a look at CHS athletes who are currently among the top 10 performers in an event through Apr. 18:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (6th) 1:04.73

4 x 200 Relay — Stuurmans, Ayden Wyman, Ryanne Knoblich, Ja’Kenya Hoskins (7th) 2:01.11

High Jump — Knoblich (6th-tie) 4-10

 

BOYS:

200 — Caleb Meyer (10th) 24.38

400 — Meyer (2nd) 52.68

800 — Aidan Wilson (7th) 2:10.84

1500 — Mitchell Hall (8th) 5:07.85

Epic meet, epic results

Logan Martin had himself quite a day.

The Coupeville High School senior won the discus and hammer throw Saturday, and narrowly missed out on adding a title in the shot put while competing at the 21-team Lil Norway Invitational at North Kitsap Stadium.

Sparked by Martin’s performance, the Wolf boys, repping one of the three smallest schools in the field, finished fifth in the team standings.

Lynden, a 2A powerhouse, took top honors in the boys battle, while tying with Central Kitsap for the girls team title.

Martin, who has already signed to compete for Central Washington University, more than held his own against throwers from big-school rivals.

The invitational featured schools from all six classifications, with 15 of 21 teams coming from 2A, 3A, or 4A.

Letting it fly, Martin claimed second in the shot put, tossed a season-best in the discus, and went ballistic in the hammer throw.

His throw of 163 feet, five inches is not only the best by a Washington state high school athlete this season — second-best is 108-01 — but is also the seventh-best in the entire nation.

It’s believed to be a school record, though there is currently no mark for the hammer throw listed on the record board in the CHS gym.

That’s likely because the event is only held a few times a year, and is not currently part of the state championships.

It is, however, an event which Martin plans to compete in full-time as a college athlete.

Logan Martin launches.

Martin and his Wolf teammates had been out of action for two weeks plus, with their last meet way back on Mar. 31.

Coupeville gets two meets next week, heading to Oak Harbor Apr. 20 and the Gear Up Eason Invitational in Snohomish Apr. 23.

CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting were thrilled with the high points Saturday — Martin’s two wins and 15 PR’s for the team — while taking special joy in how their squad held up against the big boys (and girls).

“For being a small school, our boys did excellent!!!,” Bitting said.

“They can run/throw/jump with the big schools and hold their own! Very proud of them all! What a day!

“The girls ran amazingly,” Bitting added. “Whether they competed in the rain, hail, wind, they gave it their all and always had a smile on their faces.

“They know how to find the joy in all they do. So proud of them all!!! Woot! Woot!! GO WOLVES!!!”
