It wasn’t perfect, but it’ll do.
Coming off a string of first-place team performances, the Coupeville High School track and field squad coasted into spring break with a decent, if not spectacular outing Thursday afternoon.
Competing against 10 other teams in Mount Vernon, the Wolves claimed five wins and 40 PRs en route to finishing second in the boys’ team battle, and third in the girl’s rumble.
Host Mount Vernon Christian claimed both titles, edging the CHS boys 139-133.5 and romping past La Conner 156-105.5 on the girl’s side.
The Wolf female crew finished with 93 points.
Coupeville did sweep the pole vault trophies during one of the “colder, wetter meets” veteran CHS coach Bob Martin has experienced.
Getting warmer the higher in the air they sailed, Carly Burt and Cael Wilson soared over the bar in style.
Other wins came from Nick Guay (High Jump), Carson Field (1600) and the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.
That foursome was comprised of Marquette Cunningham, Wilson, Preston Epp, and Guay.
Surviving and thriving in the less-than-stellar weather, the Wolves held up well.
“Despite facing adverse conditions, they did amazing!” Martin said. “Their resilience and adaptability are commendable.
“We saw a lot of great performances today with many athletes setting new PR’s and selflessly participating in events outside of their comfort zone.”
Coupeville, which reached the halfway point of the regular season Thursday, is now off until April 13, when it travels to Forks for the Lions Club Invitational.
