Alexis Trumbull may have traded uniforms, but she remains trouble for opposing batters.

The former Coupeville High School softball star is now chucking the ball from inside the pitcher’s circle for Skagit Valley College, and she and her Cardinal teammates made their season debut this weekend.

Playing out East against Wenatchee Valley, a squad that vied for the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges title last year, SVC was swept in a doubleheader.

But the scores don’t really matter, as you’re really here to see the pictures taken by click-happy photo ace Shelli Trumbull. So I’ll shut up and let you do just that.

Cody Peters destroys mere mortals!!

Posted in Boys Basketball, Wolves in college on March 6, 2013| Leave a Comment »

“Hey, careful man, there’s a beverage here!”

Cody Peters back in the day.

Cody Peters was once the baddest man alive on the Coupeville High School basketball court.

The six-foot-six tower of power rampaged through the Cascade Conference’s best as a Wolf, carrying Coupeville to several impressive seasons.

Now he continues carving a path of destruction at the college level.

Currently playing for Evergreen State College, after two standout seasons at Whatcom Community College and a stint at Western Oregon University, Peters was one of the few bright spots for a 2-24 Geoducks squad.

He played in all 26 games, starting 22, while pulling down 691 minutes of floor time — one minute behind the team leader.

When he was on the court, he utilized his time well, throwing in 269 points (10.3 a game) and hauling in 145 rebounds (5.6).

Peters dropped in a game-high 24 against Lewis-Clark State and 19 against Eastern Oregon, while twice bringing down 11 caroms (Puget Sound, Northwest Christian).

First on the team in free throw attempts, free throw makes, defensive rebounds and personal fouls (you ain’t been hammered until you’ve been hammered by the best), he also collected 24 assists, 19 steals and 15 blocks.

Peters banked in 91 of 236 shots, including 21 three point bombs, proving the big man can step back and pop from distance. He was 66 of 102 from the charity stripe.

Dylan Tack is being all he can be.

And while that slogan may be from the wrong branch of the military, it is true the Coupeville High School grad is excelling at the next level. Currently attending the United States Merchant Marine Academy in New York, he has also found time to star on the track oval.

Picking the biggest highlight from his indoor track season might be tough, as there have been a bunch of them.

Running at the Fast Track Challenge in mid-February, he helped set a Landmark Conference record in the distance medley relay. With Tack running a crucial leg, his squad blew across the finish line in 10 minutes, 33.87 seconds.

He has also been chipping away at the USMMA record book, having run the fourth-fastest time in school history in the 600 meters (1:12.16) and 12th-fastest time in the 500 meters (1:07.54).

King caps indoor track season with burst of speed!!

Posted in Track, Wolves go GQ, Wolves in college on March 1, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Tyler King may not be the fastest miler in the country, but he is the most stylish.

Tyler King closed out the indoor section of his track season Friday by coming within half a second of his best time in the mile.

The Coupeville High School grad, now running for the University of Washington, covered four trips around the track oval in four minutes, 12.05 seconds. His best college time is 4:11.35.

King was running at the UW Final Qualifier, an event set up to give athletes one last chance to set a time worthy of advancing to the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships March 9-10. The top 16 times in the nation qualify in each event.

To make the cut, King would have had to run a sub-four minute mile. Husky teammate Joey Bywater, who won the mile Friday, clocked in at 4:01.81.

Chris O’Hare of Tulsa has the best time in the nation this year at 3:52.98, with the 16th fastest time currently belonging to Tyler Stutzman of Stanford (3:58.85).

King and his UW teammates move into the outdoor section of the track season starting March 22-23 at the Trojan Invitational in Los Angeles.

“Nope, not gonna do it. Not gonna run slow. Wouldn’t be prudent.” (How Lao photo)

With the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships less than two weeks away, Tyler King and his University of Washington teammates are running in high gear.

King, a redshirt freshman from Coupeville, placed 12th in the 5000 meters at the MPSF Championships in Seattle Feb. 23. His time of 14 minutes, 21.44 seconds was just off his personal record (14:18.92).

He was the fastest Husky in the event, while Drew Jordan of Washington State won the event.
