A teensy-tiny bit of movement.

The Coupeville High School track and field team competed at two meets this past week, closing out the regular season, while retaining its presence on the individual top 10 performance lists.

All five Wolves who were on the chart a week ago are still there, with Lyla Stuurmans appearing twice.

She got bumped down one rung in the 400, as did Katie Marti in the shot put.

Meanwhile, Reese Wilkinson held her spot, but set a PR, lobbing the discus 15 inches further than ever before.

Up next? The Northwest 2B/1B League Championships this Wednesday, May 1 in Mount Vernon.

As the Wolves prep for that meet, with an eye on districts and the state meet after that, a look at where CHS athletes pop up on the top 10 chart for 2B through April 29:

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (9th) 1:04.72

Shot Put — Katie Marti (9th) 33-05

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (9th) 107-00

Long Jump — Stuurmans (5th) 15-08

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (3rd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (4th-tie) 11-00

Not a whole lot of movement.

Coupeville High School track and field got back at it this past weekend, snapping a two-week layoff with an appearance at a meet in Forks.

The Wolves, who have a home meet this Wednesday, followed by a trip to the Lil’ Norway Invitational Saturday, retained their spots on the statewide top 10 rankings, with just a little tweaking here and there.

CHS currently has four athletes sitting among the best in 2B.

As of April 15:

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (6th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (10th-tie) 7-00

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (3rd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (4th-tie) 11-00

Fab four among state’s best

The margin is incredibly thin.

As the high school track and field season plays out, the best performance in each event constantly fluctuates. If you didn’t deliver this week, you might not be around next week.

That’s true for Coupeville, which had eight athletes appearing in the Top 10 lists for 2B schools last Monday, but only claims four berths this time around.

Wolf junior Lyla Stuurmans is still the gold standard in Cow Town, but she took the hardest hit, going from four appearances (800, 1600, 3200, 300 hurdles) to none.

Also dropping out, for the moment at least, are Carson Field (800), Issabel Johnson (Pole Vault), and Preston Epp (400).

With spring break upon us, Coupeville has no meets until April 13, but then has the stretch run with five rumbles during the second half of the month.

As we twiddle our thumbs until then, a look at the Wolves currently holding down a spot in the Top 10:

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (5th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (7th-tie) 7-00

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (4th-tie) 11-00

Welcoming six other schools to Cow Town Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team put on a show, picking up eight wins and 55 PR’s.

That carried the Wolves to a pair of team titles, as well, with the boys rolling and the girls pulling out a thriller.

Coupeville’s male athletes finished with 144.6 points, well ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which tallied 117.5.

La Conner (115.2) closed out the top three, with Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, Lopez Island, and Concrete rounding out the remainder of the team title chase.

On the girls’ side of things, individual wins from Reese Wilkinson (Discus), Lyla Stuurmans (1600), and Carly Burt (Pole Vault) propelled the Wolves to a 137-135 win over MVC.

La Conner tallied 127 points, with Lopez, Friday Harbor, and Orcas well back.

Reese Wilkinson lets it rip in the discus, an event she won.

Coupeville senior Nick Guay paced the boys’ squad, winning the high jump and running a leg on triumphant 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay units.

Other winners included Carson Field (3200) and Cael Wilson (Pole Vault).

Preston Epp joined Guay in running on both victorious relay teams, with Hank Milnes, Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim, Wilson, and Marquette Cunningham each appearing once.

While the Wolves excelled in the spotlight, CHS coach Bob Martin also paid tribute to the many people who stepped up to help the school pull off a successful home meet.

“The day was not solely about the athletes competing on the track today,” he said. “It was equally about the volunteers from our community and the competing teams who came together; we were impressed!”

Keeping an eagle eye on things.

Martin also praised athletes and coaches from Coupeville’s rival schools.

“The day presented its fair share of challenges,” he said.

“Despite encountering some delays due to technical issues with our camera system, we were impressed by the patience and support demonstrated by the teams in attendance.”

Coupeville’s younger athletes will get back at it this Saturday, Mar. 23, when they compete at the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

The full Wolf roster returns to action Mar. 28 with a Northwest 2B/1B League meet in Mount Vernon.

Split decision on Lopez pitch

Long day, all the feelings.

The Coupeville High School soccer squad jumped island to island Wednesday, alighting on Lopez, where the Wolves played two games before making the long return trip to Whidbey.

The journey home was made with mixed emotions, as the JV team basked in the afterglow of its first victory, while the varsity squad dealt with a loss which erases much of its playoff hopes.

How the day played out:

Varsity:

“Kids are broken. Me too…”

So spoke Wolf coach Robert Wood after an emotional last-second defeat.

At one point this season, the Coupeville varsity was ranked as high as #4 in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association RPI rankings.

But a recent three-game skid in conference action, made worse by a 3-2 loss in overtime to Lopez, will make it exceedingly difficult for the Wolves to advance to the playoffs.

Postseason hopes are not completely dead, but they are on serious life support.

The loss drops CHS to 2-4 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 5-5 overall, and pins them in 6th place in a nine-team league from which the top four teams advance to the district tourney.

Defending state champ Friday Harbor (6-0 in league), Providence Classical Christian (5-1), and Mount Vernon Christian (4-1) are close to locking down the top three slots.

After that, Lopez (3-2) and Orcas Island (3-2) sit a game-and-a-half up on Coupeville in the battle for the final playoff berth, while Grace Academy (1-5), La Conner (1-5), and Cedar Park Christian-Bothell (0-5) are all but eliminated.

The Wolves host La Conner Friday for Senior Night, then close the regular season on the road Oct. 24 with a game on Orcas Island.

Wednesday’s game came within a few seconds of being decided in a penalty kick shootout, but Lopez broke through to score the winner in stoppage time at the tail end of the last overtime.

Coupeville’s goals came off the feet of sophomore Ezra Boilek and junior Cael Wilson.

Boilek, in his first year as a CHS booter, tallied his team-high seventh goal of the season, while Wilson punched in his second.

Now in his fourth season as a Wolf after making his varsity debut as an 8th grader, the latter has recorded six career goals.
