Their time has come.
Lindsey Roberts and Sean Toomey-Stout walked away with the biggest athletic honors Coupeville High School bestows Tuesday night, as each was named Athlete of the Year for the 2018-2019 school year.
Roberts, a senior, becomes the third member of her family to see her portrait go up in the hallway outside the CHS gym.
She joins parents Sherry (Bonacci) and Jon Roberts, who both were honored in the ’80s.
Lindsey has been a star since day one of her freshman season, and spent every moment of her prep career on varsity teams.
A 12-time letter winner, Roberts played soccer and basketball, and blazed a path to success in the world of track and field.
She exits as the most-honored female athlete in the history of the Wolf track program, having earned eight competitive medals at the state meet.
Lou also holds three school records, appearing on the big board under the 100 hurdles, 4 x 100 relay, and 4 x 200 relay.
A defensive stopper with a cannon for a leg, Roberts scored 17 goals over four years on the pitch, which leaves her in a tie with Genna Wright for #3 on the all-time scoring chart.
On the basketball court, her 448 points carried her to #18 on the all-time scoring chart for a hoops program which has produced 45 years of basketball.
Toomey-Stout, who was slowed down by a football injury a year ago, returned to have a spectacular junior campaign.
He led Coupeville’s football team in virtually every category — offensive, defensive, and special teams — forcing opposing teams to create new schemes in an (often hopeless) effort to stymie his speed and toughness.
During the season, Toomey-Stout also became part of a viral moment, as he returned a kick 90+ yards for a touchdown while a wayward deer blocked for him.
Various videos shot of the play landed everywhere from CNN to USA Today to British television to ESPN.
Once he moved inside for the winter, “The Torpedo” won another team MVP for his play on the hardwood.
Toomey-Stout paced the boys basketball squad in steals, assists, points in the paint, and offensive rebounds, while finishing second in defensive boards and scoring.
Spring provided a nice cap to his stellar year-long run, as he advanced to the state track meet in both the 100 and long jump.
While a juggled baton hand-off at bi-districts denied Coupeville’s 4 x 100 boys relay team a trip to state, Toomey-Stout and teammates Danny Conlisk, Jean Lund-Olsen, and Tiger Johnson had the year’s fourth-fastest time among 1A schools.
