Everything comes to those who wait.

Five days after the first middle school track meet of the season, results have appeared on the internet, and I’m here to pass them on to the world at large.

Opening day, which was April 27, featured Coupeville hosting King’s, Langley, and Northshore Christian Academy.

The first title of the season for CMS went to Easton Green, who won the boys high jump with a mark of four feet, seven inches.

Amaya Schaffeld (100), Lillian Ketterling (800), George Spear (800), and Malachi Somes (1600) captured second-place finishes for the Wolves.

Coupeville returns to action this Wednesday, May 4, when it travels to Langley for a meet which also includes Sultan and Lakewood.

Runnin’, gunnin’, reachin’ for the stars

May 2, 2022 by David Svien

Every meet from here on out gets bigger.

With the regular season in the books, the Coupeville High School track and field team turns its energy to the postseason.

First up is the Northwest 2B/1B League meet Wednesday in La Conner, followed by district, bi-district, and state meets.

With the pandemic having wreaked havoc on prep sports, this is the first season since 2019 where track stars will have a chance to participate in a full postseason.

As the Wolves (and their many foes) prep for the stretch run, a look at top times, heights, and distances among 2B schools reveal a fair share of Coupeville athletes.

For the moment, the CHS girls 4 x 200 relay team slips out of the top 10, having been passed in just the last week.

But, other than that, the Wolves retain all of their other spots in the rankings, with the boys 4 x 100 unit moving up a rung and Dominic Coffman cracking the top 10 in the high jump.

Through May 2:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (6th) 1:04.73

High Jump — Ryanne Knoblich (6th-tie) 4-10

 

BOYS:

400 — Caleb Meyer (2nd) 52.68

800 — Aidan Wilson (10th) 2:10.84

1500 — Mitchell Hall (8th) 5:07.85

4 x 100 Relay — Meyer, Reiley Araceley, Wilson, Dominic Coffman (4th) 46.09

Shot Put — Logan Martin (2nd) 46-10

Discus — Martin (3rd) 149-00

Hammer — Martin (2nd) 175-00

High Jump — Coffman (6th-tie) 5-10

Splash Sisters rule the water

The Splash Sisters are back at it.

Coupeville’s Sophie and Lucy Sandahl shone brightly this weekend, helping Seattle Pacific University rowing teams to strong finishes at a major meet.

The duo was at Lake Natoma in Gold River, California for the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships.

Sophie was in the bow of her boat as SPU’s #2 varsity eight crew won their grand finals race Sunday, fending off runner-up Pacific Lutheran University by a crisp 22 seconds.

The Falcons crossed the 2,000-meter course in seven minutes, 29.62 seconds.

Meanwhile, lil’ sis Lucy was the coxswain for SPU’s novice four boat, which claimed second in Saturday’s heats — on dad Michael’s birthday.

Her first-year crew, repping an NCAA D-II school, then went oar to oar with top-level D-1 schools Sunday, finishing sixth in the grand finals.

SPU returns to action next Saturday, May 7, when it participates in the Windermere Cup on the Montlake Cut in Seattle.

That event is hosted by the University of Washington and celebrates the opening of boating season in our state.

One more swing to fill the stat sheet

May 1, 2022 by David Svien

Joey Lippo

The bat gets a rest.

After swinging a hot stick all season, Coupeville grad Joey Lippo officially reached the end of his sophomore season playing baseball at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.

The Owls dropped a pair of doubleheaders over the weekend, falling to Thomas College 15-3 and 4-3 Saturday, before succumbing 12-2 and 4-1 Sunday to New England College.

UMPI finishes 6-29, which is a bump in games played and games won from last year’s pandemic-altered 1-17 campaign.

Lippo went out lashing, picking up four hits and three RBI in his final weekend of play.

The former Wolf three-sport star was one of just two Owls to play in all 35 games, and he led UMPI in at-bats (123), runs (31), triples (2), RBI (22), walks (14), and stolen bases (8).

Skyy Lippo’s twin brother was second on his squad in hits (39), batting average (.317), on-base percentage (.386) and home runs (1).

Joey played most of the season in the outfield, gunning down runners with long throws from the shadows, but he also pitched in three games for the Owls, striking out four across five innings of work.

Stone caps first pro season

It was like being on a rollercoaster.

The Leicester Riders stormed back from 18 down in the second half Sunday, only to see their playoff game against the Nottingham Wildcats swing back out of control in the late going.

Coupeville’s Makana Stone rippled the nets for a game-tying bucket with seconds to play in the third quarter, but the Wildcats surged in the fourth to capture an 81-69 win in Women’s British Basketball League action.

The quarterfinal loss ends the season for Leicester, which went 18-13 in Stone’s rookie season.

Nottingham advances to play the Sevenoaks Suns in the WBBL semifinals, while the undefeated London Lions play the Caledonia Pride.

Leicester entered the postseason having finished fourth in the 13-team league but struggled early against the #5 Wildcats.

Trailing 27-13 after one quarter of play, the Riders saw the deficit stretch out to 44-28 at the half, before Nottingham topped out at with an 18-point lead early in the third.

Sparked by the play of its American assassin, Leicester chipped away at the lead, eventually getting all the way back when Stone dropped a long jumper with 31 ticks on the clock.

Unfortunately for the Riders, Nottingham rebounded quickly in the fourth quarter, stretching the lead back out to double-digits thanks to strong long-distance shooting.

Stone finished with six points, six rebounds and two blocked shots in her finale.

Hannah Robb and Oceana Hamilton paced the Riders with 19 points apiece, while Nottingham was led by Brooklyn Pannell, who banked in 21.

After stellar runs at Whitman College and Loughborough University, Stone made an auspicious debut as a pro hoops player.

She was a starter most of the season, finishing with 275 points, 193 rebounds, 41 assists, 25 steals, and five blocks.
