It was a long, but very successful day.

Hosting their first home meet of the season Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team outdueled 12 other schools to claim seven individual titles and 39 PR’s.

Not bad for a day full of rain spatters, and one in which everyone raced the setting of the sun.

“They ran/jumped/threw amazingly!” said CHS girls coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“The races in the twilight and into the dark were the most fun,” she added. “Seeing them come out of the darkness was very cool.”

The La Conner girls and Mount Vernon Christian boys notched team titles, with the Wolf squads claiming third and second, respectively.

Senior thrower Logan Martin paced Coupeville, earning titles in both the shot put and discus.

Joining him atop the victory stand were teammates Taygin Jump (javelin), Lyla Stuurmans (400), Aidan Wilson (long jump), Carolyn Lhamon (discus), and Ryanne Knoblich (long jump).

Reese Wilkinson set a PR in the discus.

A million volunteers, give or take one or two.

Putting on a multi-team track and field meet, as Coupeville High School did Wednesday, requires a big support crew.

Thankfully for CHS, Wolf Nation once again stepped up and met the challenge, as documented in these pics snapped by John Fisken.

“No autographs, please!” Cameron Toomey-Stout is ready for the fashion runway.

“He’s like poetry in motion, he is.”

Neil Rixe preps for a gig at the Daytona 500.

Willie Smith, up to shenanigans. I’m sure of it.

Tom Black, always on the lookout for shenanigans.

Sean Toomey-Stout, one flex away from ripping his t-shirt in half.

Rainy weather can’t dampen Bobbie Massengale’s enthuiasm.

Big meet, big results

Logan Martin won shot put and discus titles Saturday at the Port Angeles Invitational. (Eileen Stone photo)

“It was a crazy day.”

The Coupeville High School track and field team survived and thrived Saturday at the nine-team Port Angeles Invitational.

By the time the day was done, the Wolves had collected 10 individual wins — including a tie — and set 39 PR’s, all while dealing with a year’s worth of weather compressed into a few hours.

“Weather wise, (we had) wind, rain, hail and sun!” said CHS girls coach Elizabeth Bitting. “As one athlete put it, ‘Each event had different weather’.”

The invitational, which featured four 2A schools, a pair of 2B schools (including Coupeville), and three 1B schools, ran varsity and JV versions of every event.

Schools were limited to one entry in each varsity competition.

The 2A schools, with much-deeper rosters, dominated team scoring, with Sequim winning the varsity boys title, while tying with North Kitsap for the girls crown.

CHS was third in varsity girls and fourth in varsity boys.

On the JV side, Port Angeles (girls) and North Kitsap (boys) stood tallest, with both Wolf squads finishing fourth.

Coupeville emerged from the meet with six varsity crowns and four JV ones.

Senior Logan Martin (shot put and discus) topped the individual varsity winners, with Carolyn Lhamon (shot put), Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Aidan Wilson (800), and Lyla Stuurmans (triple jump) ruling their events.

On the JV side, Lhamon (discus), Knoblich (long jump), and Cristina McGrath (triple jump) won, with the duo of Caleb Meyer and Nick Guay tying for top honors in the high jump.

It was a quick turnaround for Coupeville, which competed at a Northwest 2B/1B League meet in La Conner Thursday afternoon.

But rested or not, the Wolves stepped up.

“The athletes are finding their groove and achieving more PR’s,” Bitting said.

“We are proud of their efforts today and would like to give a big shout out to the parents who volunteered to help the meet run smoothly.”

Aidan Wilson was in fine form.

The Coupeville High School junior kicked off a new track and field season Wednesday in La Conner by claiming victory in three different events.

Competing in a nine-team meet at Jack Whitaker Field, Wilson captured titles in the 800 and long jump, while joining Reiley Araceley, Caleb Meyer, and Dominic Coffman on a victorious 4 x 100 relay squad.

Carolyn Lhamon (shot put) and Logan Martin (discus) also earned titles in the season opener, with both Wolf teams finishing second in the team standings.

The La Conner girls edged Coupeville 137.5-109.5, while the Mount Vernon Christian boys held off the Wolves 163.5-132.5.

Friday Harbor, Grace Academy, Lopez Island, Shoreline Christian, Lummi Nation, and Cedar Park Christian-Mountlake Terrace also competed.

Coupeville was strong across the board, recording 62 PR’s on the day.

“It was an amazing (long) day!,” said CHS girls coach Elizabeth Bitting. “These athletes now know where they stand and where they want to be.

“So much determination in them. So proud of them all!!!! SO PROUD!”

CHS spring sports schedules bloom

Posted in Baseball, Girls Tennis, Softball, Track, tagged , , , , , on March 2, 2022| Leave a Comment »

One season runs into another.

Basketball is still going, with the Coupeville High School boys at the state tourney in Spokane, but the first days of spring sports are also upon us.

Practice began Monday for Wolf softball, girls tennis, track, and baseball, and games are less than two weeks away.

After back-to-back disrupted campaigns thanks to the pandemic, the plan is for an almost normal spring this time around.

Baseball and softball have full 20-game seasons scheduled, track returns to participating in big invitationals, and playoffs loom at the end of the season.

Plus, with everyone heading outdoors, and many restrictions being eased, Covid testing for prep athletes is out, along with mask mandates.

Below you’ll find schedules for the four CHS spring sports, with one caveat.

Girls tennis, a sport played by only two of the seven Northwest 2B/1B League schools — Friday Harbor and Coupeville — does not have a complete schedule yet.

Friday Harbor’s courts are being worked on, meaning the Wolves and Wolverines will only play on Whidbey Island this season.

Meanwhile CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith is busy tracking down more non-conference tilts for the Wolf netters, with Oak Harbor among those expected to say yes.

To keep up to date on schedules which can (and will) change, likely due to weather shenanigans and not the pandemic, check out:
