Their rivals await.

No games, but plenty of photos.
With spring break having sprung, Coupeville High School sports teams are taking a few days off between competitions.
But, thanks to photo whiz kid John Fisken, you can fill at least 11.2 seconds of the down time perusing the photos seen above and below.
They come from Wolf tennis, track, softball, and baseball games, and you can practically feel the rain, wind, and cold temps of spring sports in each new image.
To see more of what Fisken has shot this school year, and years past, pop over to:
Chase Anderson delivers a pitch that’s so crisp, the baseball remains in focus while everything else slides away into soft focus.
Gwen Gustafson awaits the arrival of another strike.
Aidan Wilson catches some air.
Mia Farris keeps the numbers jumpin’ on the scoreboard.
Cole White gets in on this whole tapping home thing which is sweeping Wolf Nation.
Samara Maund flings her javelin into the great unknown.
Skylar Parker flicks another winner.

The hunt is on.
As we enter April, the ebb and flow of high school track continues, with top times, heights, and distances being tossed on to the leader board.
The state meet isn’t until the end of May, but this is prime time to flash your credentials and, thanks to athletic.net, make sure the entire state knows what you’re up to.
A scan of the 2B leaders shows a number of Coupeville athletes present, with freshmen Lyla Stuurmans and seniors Logan Martin and Caleb Meyer currently ranked #2 in their classification in at least one event.

Their time will come.
Facing off with a long-established track and field powerhouse Thursday, the Coupeville High School boys team came within one first-place performance of upending host Mount Vernon Christian.
But while the Wolves came up just short, with the Hurricanes edging them 152-146.5 at an 11-team meet, a statement was made.
Slice a few seconds here, get an inch or two higher there, have an athlete or two nail a PR, and the tables will turn.
Maybe not today, but soon, very soon.
At the league championship meet, at districts, at state, perhaps?
The suspense builds as the Wolves get right back to work.
The strong showing from the CHS boys was the highlight of the day, but a Wolf girls squad which wasn’t quite as deep in numbers also came away looking pretty good, as well.
Coupeville’s girls claimed a pair of individual wins en route to finishing third in the team standings with 88 points, trailing just La Conner (144) and MVC (137).
The meet, held at Mount Vernon High School, featured athletes from four Northwest 2B/1B League schools, with Friday Harbor joining Coupeville, MVC, and La Conner.
Non-league rivals Grace Academy, Lopez Island, Crescent, Shoreline Christian, Fellowship Christian, Cedar Park Christian-Mountlake Terrace, and Lummi Nation rounded out the competitors.
Coupeville finished with 35 PR’s on the day, with Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Ja’Kenya Hoskins (long jump), and Aidan Wilson (800) finishing atop the trophy stand.
The Wolves have a break in their competition schedule, as they don’t compete again until April 16, when they travel to North Kitsap for the Lil Norway Invitational.
Dominic Coffman finished 2nd in the high jump Thursday as the Wolf boys battled powerhouse Mount Vernon Christian to the very end in the team standings.
