Willie Smith is in the eye of the hurricane right now, with potential storms raging on all sides.

The Coupeville High School Athletic Director is being pulled in 20,000 different directions, as he and his school prepare to host two Bi-District track meets wrapped into one giant Trackageddon Thursday and Saturday.

CHS welcomes 22 other schools to Mickey Clark Field, as District 1 and 2 clash in both 1A and 2B meets.

The last stop before the state meet, it’s nirvana for track and field fans, and a chance for Coupeville to establish itself as a go-to place for big events, but also two days full of 1,001 logistical issues.
