They survived and prospered.

Traveling to the wilds of Sultan Thursday, Coupeville Middle School track and field athletes combined to win 11 events and notch 66 PR’s at a three-team meet.

The Wolf 6th/7th grade boys won the team title, while their female counterparts finished a close second to South Whidbey.

Coupeville’s next-door neighbors, who had the deepest roster, won both 8th grade team titles.

CMS 7th graders Beckett Green and Nick Laska were three-time winners Thursday, including teaming up with Nathan Niewald and Roger Merino-Martinez to claim the title in the 4 x 100 relay.

Green also hit the tape first in the 100 and 200, while Laska finished on top in the shot put and discus.

Merino-Martinez (long jump), Shiloh Sandlin (800), and 6th grader Daniel Payan Vasquez (400) were winners while Tamsin Ward (100, shot put) and the girls 4 x 200 relay unit also triumphed.

All five girls to finish atop the podium are 6th graders, with the relay squad comprised of Hyley Farrell, Elizabeth Marshall, Kennedy O’Neill, and Sage Stavros.

With her two wins, Ward has piled up 10 victories this season, which puts her in big-time company.

Lindsey Roberts won 22 times as an 8th grader in 2015, after notching eight wins as a 7th grader, while Makana Stone finished first 12 times as an 8th grader in 2012.

The duo, who finished with eight and seven state meet medals during their high school days, respectively, never competed as 6th graders as eligibility rules have changed since their middle school days.

Whether they won, PR’d, or just came close Thursday, each Wolf in uniform had an impact, said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“Our athletes performed really well during the longest road trip of the season,” he said. “The athletes again proved that the harder they work, the better they get.

“I hope they are as proud as I am of the clear improvements they are showing.”

The Wolves return to action next Thursday, May 25 with an appearance at the Cascade League Championships, which are held at Lakewood High School.

The season-ending rumble is a two-day affair, with day #2 set for May 31 at the same location.

They stood tall at the Falls.

The Coupeville Middle School cross country program sent 25 runners to the line Thursday at a six-school meet in Granite Falls, with Olivia Hall and Beckett Green capturing team honors.

Both Wolves nabbed 8th place in the individual standings, while tangling with runners from powerhouses like King’s and Langley.

The 1.7-mile course tested the young Coupeville harriers, while still having a lot less hills than their most-recent meet.

The Wolves get back at it Friday, Oct. 7, when they compete at the Hole in the Wall Invitational at Lakewood High School.

No fear, just joy.

Coupeville Middle School cross country runners tackled one of the tougher courses they will face this season Saturday at the 15th annual King’s Roller Coaster Trail Run in Shoreline.

To the delight of coach Elizabeth Bitting, her young athletes responded exactly the way she hoped on the 1.6-mile course.

“From the moment we arrived at King’s the air was electric!” she said.

“Music playing, schools walking the course, families eager to cheer on their runners, pumped coaches, the smile on my face and excitement in my heart couldn’t be diminished!

“The athletes were so nervous when we walked the course and they saw the roller coaster hills but during their races they ate those hills up!” Bitting added.

“Compared to last week’s times EVERY athlete set a PR! It was AMAZING!!!!!”

Coupeville placed seven runners — five girls and two boys — in the top 10, with both squads claiming second in the team title chase.

The Wolves get right back at it next week, with a trip to Granite Falls set for Thursday, Sept. 29.

It’s a tsunami of PR’s!

Faster times, higher heights, longer distances.

The Coupeville Middle School track and field team had a huge day Wednesday in Langley, capturing four individual wins and smashing 71 PR’s at a four-team meet.

The Wolves went toe-to-toe with Lakewood, Sultan, and the meet hosts, and stood tall.

Leading the way were 6th grader Marin Winger, who won the 400, 7th grader Myra McDonald (long jump) and 8th graders Malachi Somes (1600) and George Spear (800).

As the young Wolves continue to shatter personal bests and fine-tune their skills under the leadership of coaches Paige Spangler and Jon Gabelein, the schedule remains a busy one.

Next up is a four-team meet May 11 at Lakewood, followed by a four-school rumble in Coupeville May 18.

CMS cross country runners fuel up Wednesday at the league championship meet. (Elizabeth Bitting photos)

Noelle Western delivered Coupeville’s best performance.

The circle is complete.

Ending the season where it also began, the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad competed Wednesday at the Cascade League Championships.

Meet host Langley swept both team titles during the 140-runner event, while Coupeville claimed fourth in the girls race, and sixth in the boys.

Individual titles went to Reed Atwood of Langley and Caleb Greenland of Lakewood.

Coupeville placed a runner on the awards stand, with 8th grader Noelle Western claiming 9th place in the girls race.

The Wolves sent 15 runners to the line, with eight of the nine who competed in the season opener coming back around to set a PR on the same course.

“It’s always nice to finish where we first started the season,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “So many PR’s, and so many happy faces!

“I am very proud of these athletes,” she added.

“I wish the 8th graders the best of luck in high school and I hope to see everybody else return in the fall! GO WOLVES!!!”
