Welcome back to portrait season.

Before the current hoops campaign began, John Fisken stopped by the Coupeville High School gym to snap close-up pics of almost every Wolf basketball player.

As the season unfolds, we’re dispersing said portraits in a somewhat haphazarded manner, and today eight more glossy images pop up on the internet.

There’s two pics for each of the four CHS hardwood teams, chosen in our best eenie-meenie-minie-moe fashion.

It’s spring cleaning, but with fall sports photos.

While games have ended, and Wolf athletes are off to play basketball, I’m still working through a backlog of John Fisken photos.

So here you go, some light, non-reading entertainment for your Friday morning.

Alex and Michele Murdy ponder.

“I’m telling you, I left my seeing-eye dog right here!”

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.

With that, down to the field:

Big day, big records, big eats

It was a long and eventful day.

The Coupeville Middle School track and field squad opened the two-day Cascade League Championships Tuesday at Lakewood, and got a bit of everything.

With day one a mix of prelims and finals, the Wolves piled up 25 PR’s, advanced several athletes in highly-competitive races, then celebrated with dinner at a surprise location.

“To celebrate our great performance at our first prelims within this league, we stopped at Costco on the way home to eat!,” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“The athletes were surprised at how much more of an adventure it was compared to what an ordinary McDonald’s visit would have offered.”

The tasty treats compensated for the hardships the Wolves faced at the track oval.

“Officials shared that due to a headwind at the Lakewood High School track, run times for sprints trended slower than they would have otherwise been,” Gabelein said. “So any PR earned was actually even more amazing than the recorded time.”

The day was full of top-notch performances, with Coupeville 8th graders Carolyn Lhamon (shot put) and Alex Murdy (long jump) claiming 2nd in the finals of their events at the seven-team meet.

Lhamon, who only recently picked up the event as a substitute for the 1600 while recovering from shin splints, had a phenomenal performance.

Her previous-best throw was 27 feet, nine inches, but Tuesday she uncorked a lob of 32-11.50.

Other Wolf highlights included 7th graders Allison Nastali and Brionna Blouin nailing PR’s in the shot put under unusual circumstances.

Nastali was throwing for the first time while using the glide strategy, while Blouin competed in someone else’s shoes, after getting an assist from teammate Desi Ramirez.

Coupeville advanced five runners from the prelims to Thursday’s finals in running events, with 8th grader Claire Mayne kicking things off by hitting a PR in the 100 hurdles.

Joining her in making the jump to finals are 7th grader Nick Guay (200), along with 8th graders Reiley Araceley (100), Murdy (200), and Joven Light (400).

Wolves go runnin’ in the rain

The calendar says early spring, but the skies denied it.

Despite it being the final regular season meet Monday in Langley, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team ran into plenty of liquid sunshine.

“It was a cold rainy day at the race track and it felt like one too,” said Wolf coach Jon Gabelein.

“It was one of those meets that you just needed to wrestle your way through and chalk it up as an opportunity to appreciate other meets even more.”

While the weather wasn’t flawless, Coupeville’s athletic stars endured, compiling 30 PR’s and five wins while competing against Granite Falls, Northshore Christian Academy, and the host Cougars.

CMS 7th grader Brionna Blouin swept to wins in both the shot put and discus, while 8th grader Alex Murdy claimed top honors in the 200 and ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay team.

That foursome included Reiley Araceley, Dominic Coffman, and Joven Light.

Rounding out the Wolf winners was 7th grader Logan Downes, who splashed down with a victory in the long jump.

Coupeville wraps its season with the two-day Cascade League Championships May 28 and 30 in Lakewood. The first day offers prelims, the second day finals.
