There is an ending to everything.

The 2023-2024 prep sports year hit the tape Wednesday, with the Coupeville Middle School track and field team wrapping up the two-day Cascade League Championships.

After a season of less-than-stellar weather and outstanding performances, Wolf coach Amber Wyman was ready for a nap, but also had some thoughts about all that transpired.

Her exit interview:

 

I am so proud of these athletes!

They worked hard and really strived to accomplish their goals! 

A few notables: Zariyah Allen has been practicing the discus at home and asked for a discus for her birthday and the effort paid off today with a 15-foot PR!

Tamsin Ward did amazing and came away with two first place medals and two second place.

A big shout out to my daughter Devon and Mikayla Wagner who started their track training 12 weeks early to get in shape for the season and it really paid off!

They would get together after school and run so that they would PR early in our short season.

Henry Bailey came out to try track for the first time and did amazing.

I have now declared him a ‘track and cross-country kid’ so let’s hope he listens. 🙂

We loved watching so many other amazing and wonderful athletes (that are too numerous to name) that came out nearly every day to do better and be better. 

And sadly, Hyley Farrell will be leaving us for Texas, so this was her last Coupeville sport she will play. We will miss her! 

Congrats to all of our athletes on a successful middle school season, whether first, second or last!

Kennedy O’Neill soars to glory.

No more meets, but a few photos left to deal with.

The Coupeville Middle School track and field team wrapped its season last week with the Cascade League Championships, and today we offer up the remaining pics we had still stashed away.

The action photos are from Wolf Mom Ana Oliveira, the coach portraits snapped by John Fisken.

Ready to launch.

Wolf coach Amber Wyman guided her team to a strong finish.

Feel the burn.

No more open jobs.

For the moment, at least.

Coupeville High School/Middle School Athletic Director Willie Smith has filled coaching positions for CHS girls’ soccer and CMS track and field.

Kim Kisch, one of the first booters to play for the Wolf program when it launched in 2004, is coming back around to call the shots as head coach starting next fall.

She replaces Kyle Nelson, who retired at the end of the most-recent season.

Meanwhile, Amber Wyman, already hired to coach middle school cross country, will also pick up coaching duties with the CMS track and field program.

Returning coach Jon Gabelein and Wyman welcome a new squad to the first day of practice Apr. 10, with a six-meet schedule running Apr. 26-May 31.

Before becoming a head coach, Wyman was an assistant helping middle school (now high school) running guru Elizabeth Bitting.

Both hires will be official once approved by the school board.
