Everything’s set. Now they just wait.

The seeds for the 1A state track and field championships have been released, and the 10 Wolves headed to Cheney May 25-27 know how they stack up against their competition.

If the seeds hold, Coupeville is on target to bring home six medals (you need a top eight finish), three on either side of the gender divide.

But, as last year, when the Wolves won nine medals as a team, was a testament, no one can guarantee anything.

Anyone, from a #1 seed to a #17 seed, can trip, drop a baton, get ill or, conversely, have the meet of their dreams.

Wolves like Lindsey Roberts and Dalton Martin entered that 2016 meet ranked outside the top eight in an event, but finished on the victory stand, medal in hand.

It’s one meet to decide the fate of the track universe. Anything can happen.

But first, the cold hard numbers headed to Cheney:

Girls:

100 — Maya Toomey-Stout (11th) 12.96

200 — Toomey-Stout (10th) 26.76

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (8th) 15.97

4 x 100 Relay — Lauren Grove, Mallory Kortuem, Toomey-Stout, Roberts (8th) 51.05

4 x 200 Relay — Grove, Kortuem, Toomey-Stout, Roberts (6th) 1:47.67

High Jump — Lauren Bayne (16th) 4-08

Boys:

100 — Jacob Smith (5th) 11.29

200 — Smith (2nd) 22.51

400 — Danny Conlisk (10th) 51.42

800 — Conlisk (15th) 2:07.02

Being a local track and field fan is about to get so much easier.

With Coupeville High School ripping up its outdated oval and laying down a fresh new eight-lane marvel this summer, the Wolves will once again host home meets for the first time in forever.

But, with no home meets, and only one appearance in a meet even on Whidbey this past season, that meant fans had to hit the open road, a lot, once again.

If you didn’t make it to every meet (I went to one, in Bremerton), you can catch up, thanks to Dawnelle Conlisk and the video below.

The mom of freshman phenom Danny, who went to state in two events as a whiz kid, she put together an eight-minute tribute to the Wolves and their season, using action and behind the scenes photos from a wide variety of folks.

Plus a little Journey.

Cause every good montage needs a little Journey.

So hit the road, while never leaving your couch, and experience Wolf track ’16.

Halfway to history!!

It was Dalton’s day.

Coupeville High School senior Dalton Martin put on a show Friday in Cheney at the 1A state track and field meet.

Coming off of a 5th place showing in the discus as a junior, he entered his final go-around at state qualified in three throwing events.

And he immediately made his impact felt, in the most surprising way.

Having only picked up the javelin just a few weeks ago, he slipped into the state meet seeded #16 in a 16-man field, then promptly flipped that ranking on its head.

Unleashing a PR of 149 feet, three inches on the very first throw of the event, he sailed on to the awards podium, claiming an 8th place medal.

What came next was far more expected, as Martin, who has been the second-best discus chucker in 1A all season, claimed his second medal of the meet, finishing runner-up to defending champ Jose Padilla of Chelan.

Martin came within 13 inches of his PR, hurling the discus 160 feet, six inches.

Padilla, who has accepted a track scholarship from the University of Washington, launched throws of 185-03 and 195-00.

The first broke the 1A state meet record, which was set in 1968.

The second shattered the record for all classifications, which had stood since 1979.

Martin’s double-dip day (he’ll back to lob the shot put with Padilla Saturday) highlighted a busy day for the Wolves.

Having sent its biggest crew in memory, 16 athletes strong, Coupeville competed in five finals and nine prelims Friday.

Of the three finals not involving Martin, the best showing came from senior Jordan Ford, who also earned a medal, finishing in a tie for 8th in the pole vault.

He went 12-06, three inches off of his school record, in an event that was shoved back two hours on the schedule and finished long after all the other competitors had left the stadium at Eastern Washington University.

Wolf junior Skyler Lawrence, who finished 16th a year ago, jumped to 12th in the shot put, while Mitchell Carroll was 15th in the triple jump.

With a strong showing across the board in Friday’s prelims, the Wolves are qualified for seven finals Saturday, and will make some history.

Freshman Lindsey Roberts and senior Makana Stone are guaranteed to bring home three medals apiece, while Martin also has a shot at three.

The last time a Wolf won three medals at a state track meet was Tyler King in 2011.

The only time three CHS athletes won three medals each in the same state meet was 2008, when Brian Miller, Kyle King and Tyler King pulled off the feat.

As far as I can find in my research, no Wolf girl has won three medals in the same state meet.

Stone, who has collected four medals over the past three years, will run in the final of the 400, while Roberts is the lone ninth grader in the 100 hurdles final.

Both will team with Lauren Grove and Sylvia Hurlburt in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay finals.

The fearsome foursome, known as “Sole Sisters,” are gunning for only the second relay title in the history of Coupeville High School.

In 2006, the quartet of Kyle King, Jon Chittim, Steven McDonald and Chris Hutchinson won the boys 4 x 400.

So many athletes, so many events, so little time.

Having qualified nine boys and six girls for the 1A state track and field meet in Cheney next weekend (May 26-28), Coupeville High School coach Randy King will a busy bee.

Looking at what’s been posted by Eastern Washington University, which hosts the event, this would seem to be the schedule for the Wolves, with three caveats.

Athletes listed as alternates finished 4th at districts and are hopeful, but not guaranteed, of competing.

Throwing events only have finals.

Running events have both prelims and finals, and, while I’m listing both, obviously each Wolf is not guaranteed of reaching the finals.

Still, hope springs eternal and we have faith.
