It was a long, but very successful day.
Hosting their first home meet of the season Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team outdueled 12 other schools to claim seven individual titles and 39 PR’s.
Not bad for a day full of rain spatters, and one in which everyone raced the setting of the sun.
“They ran/jumped/threw amazingly!” said CHS girls coach Elizabeth Bitting.
“The races in the twilight and into the dark were the most fun,” she added. “Seeing them come out of the darkness was very cool.”
The La Conner girls and Mount Vernon Christian boys notched team titles, with the Wolf squads claiming third and second, respectively.
Senior thrower Logan Martin paced Coupeville, earning titles in both the shot put and discus.
Joining him atop the victory stand were teammates Taygin Jump (javelin), Lyla Stuurmans (400), Aidan Wilson (long jump), Carolyn Lhamon (discus), and Ryanne Knoblich (long jump).

Reese Wilkinson set a PR in the discus.
