Coronavirus outbreak at Careage grows

March 25, 2020 by David Svien

The Washington State Department of Health has confirmed 24 cases of COVID-19 at Careage of Whidbey in Coupeville.

Test results are pending for other residents and employees.

It’s the only known outbreak of the coronavirus associated with a long-term facility in Island County.

That raises the total number of confirmed cases in Island County, which includes Whidbey and Camano, to 54.

There has been one confirmed death – a woman in her 90’s with underlying health conditions, who passed away at home.

There are currently 2,469 confirmed cases in Washington state, with 123 deaths.

All the medals, all the glory

Round two.

Yesterday we used numbers off of athletic.net to look back at the best track and field performances compiled from 2009-2019 by Coupeville Middle School athletes.

Today we slide up a rung and celebrate what’s been achieved at the high school level.

And we’re actually drawing from a bigger data base on this one, as the stats for CHS go back to 2000.

Now, are their results flawless? Probably not.

I caught two school-record performances — the 2006 boys 4 x 400 relay team and Rich Wilson’s work in the high jump — which weren’t reflected in the athletic.net results.

While the absence of those marks immediately jumped out at me because they’re ingrained in my conscious, there may be other non-record marks missing as well, which could more easily slide by.

The marks for the last decade seem pretty solid, but if there’s anything missing, it probably comes from the early 2000’s, which seems a bit spottier.

That being said, take it for what it is, and enjoy what we can.

In our “Coupeville High School Virtual Olympics,” we hand out gold, silver, and bronze medals in 22 events for the girls, and 22 for the boys.

There are a couple of places where there aren’t a complete top three, such as the boys 2K steeplechase, and again, this is probably not a definitive list of everything Wolf athletes competed in across the past two decades.

But taken in context, we can see the impact different CHS stars had in their sport.

Lindsey Roberts, who has the most real state meet medals of any Wolf girl ever, leads our digital throw-down, finishing with 11 medals, including four golds.

Two-time state champ Danny Conlisk tops our gold medalists, claiming six, with Maya Toomey-Stout and Mallory Kortuem notching five apiece.

Special props to the Hoskins and Toomey-Stout families, as well.

The Hoskins put four siblings on our list, with Jai’Lysa, Will, Ja’Tarya, and Ja’Kenya all winning medals in our Olympics.

But no family has been as dominant as the one raised by Beth Stout and Lisa Toomey.

Maya, twin brother Sean, and big bro Cameron account for 20 medals, nine of them gold.

And a final side note about the girls high jump, where Yashmeen Knox and Cassidy Moody tie for the gold, both jumping an even five feet.

Yes, I am very aware Knox (now Yashmeen Wilson) holds the school record at 5-02, but … that mark was set in 1999, and our virtual Olympics only covers 2000-2019.

So, with that, down to the arena we go:

Stone notches All-American status

March 24, 2020 by David Svien

Coupeville’s Makana Stone ends her college career as one of the best basketball players in the country.

The former Wolf, now a senior at Whitman College, was one of 25 players honored Tuesday when the D3hoops.com All-American teams were announced.

Already tabbed as the Northwest Conference Player of the Year and a First-Team All-West Region pick, Stone was one of five players to receive Honorable Mention status.

Erica DeCandido of Tufts University (Massachusetts) was selected as the NCAA D-III national player of the year.

Berea College (Kentucky) freshman Aaliyah Hampton was tabbed as Rookie of the Year, while Brian Morehouse, who led Hope College (Michigan) to an undefeated season, was named Coach of the Year.

The only West Coast player honored, Stone averaged 15.1 points and 8.3 rebounds a night as Whitman went 26-3 this season.

She collected 409 points, 225 rebounds, 37 assists, 26 steals, and 26 blocks, while shooting 166-316 (52.5%) from the floor and 74-96 (77.1%) from the free-throw line.

The Blues won their first two games in the NCAA tourney, and were hours away from playing in the Sweet 16 when the season was prematurely ended by the coronavirus.

During her four years as a Blue, Stone played in 110 games, including making a program-record 92 starts.

She finished as the #5 scorer (1,337 points) and #2 rebounder (837 caroms) in Whitman women’s basketball history.

Vie for past glory

Welcome to the digital arena.

With athletes driven inside by the ongoing battle with coronavirus, you have to find your competitions where you can.

Today, thanks to records kept by athletic.net, we present the “Coupeville Middle School Virtual Olympics,” featuring Wolf athletes from 2009-2019 – the seasons covered by the site.

There are 98 medal winners (51 girls and 47 boys) with Lathom Kelley and Chris Battaglia leading the way with five medals apiece.

In terms of standing on top of the podium, however, no one can match Makana Stone and Alex Murdy, who each bring home four gold medals.

Others to claim multiple titles include Lindsey Roberts, Emma Smith, Carolyn Lhamon, Danny Conlisk, Jared Helmstadter, Kelley, and Battaglia, who all exit with a pair of golds.

Before we get to the stats, a couple of quick side notes.

One, there are a couple of events where there aren’t a gold, silver, and bronze winner, as only 1-2 people were listed by athletic.net.

Which is probably far from reality, but we go with what we have.

As you go through the top times and throws and jumps, special props to Savina Wells, bronze medal winner in the high jump, as she’s the only 6th grader to crack the top three in any event.

And yes, we’re going to do a high school meet next.

Wolf grad ready to capture your big moment

March 24, 2020 by David Svien

Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famer Valen Trujillo is available for all your grad photo needs. (Hunter Printz photo)

As we go through uncertain times, one Coupeville High School grad is stepping up to help those who intend to follow in her footsteps.

Hey Coupeville Fam!

My name is Valen Trujillo, I am a 2017 CHS grad and now I own my own photography business specializing in local and destination weddings, couples photos, and portraits!

I feel so bad for this year’s graduates.

I couldn’t image how it would have felt to have the thing I was looking forward to the most be cancelled.

So I decided to offer a SPECIAL DEAL for all 2020 grads (high school and college) to get grad photos done! (in your cap and gown too!!) 50% off!!

Here’s the info:

$150
45 minute session
30 minimum edited images
1-2 locations
up to 2 outfits
online gallery // printing rights

You’ll get these photos within a week of your session! You can print, post, and download all of the photos to have forever to remember this special time in your life!

This is for any grad – on Whidbey or off Whidbey!

If you are interested, email me at

valenleephotography@gmail.com

I am here for you all! 🙂 Stay safe and wash your hands!!
