“This really was an amazing season.”

Wednesday marked the end of the road for the Coupeville Middle School cross country squad, creating mixed feelings for coach Amber Wyman.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this team!” she said.

“I’m sad that I won’t see these amazing athletes daily. They worked so hard and so many of them got PRs!”

Anna Powers hit the tape in second place, while running mates Sarai Dangerfield and Henry Purdue both claimed fourth place.

Lincoln Wagner rounded out the top times with a seventh-place performance.

Wolves score big in finale

They doubled up on day two.

Putting an emphatic stamp on the season Thursday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team picked up three more titles at the Cascade League Championships.

Competing at Lakewood, the Wolves claimed wins in the shot put (Collin Mirabile and Diesel Eck) and high jump (Malachi Chapa).

That comes on the heels of three titles Monday in the opener of the two-day finale, when Tamsin Ward (shot put, high jump) and Les Queen (discus) reigned supreme.

With his victory, Eck, a CMS 7th grader, reaches 13 wins on the season — the most for a Wolf middle school boy in one go-round.

At least according to athletic.net, which goes back to 2008 with its middle school results.

Tamsin Ward exchanges well wishes with a rival.

Ward, who had two top-three performances in sprint races Thursday, finished her final CMS campaign with 16 wins, second-best all-time behind Lindsey Roberts 19-win season as an 8th grader in 2015.

With 39 wins across three seasons, Ward departs the middle school scene with the CMS career record.

While Monday’s meet featured a mix of prelims and finals, Thursday was all finals, with the Wolves holding up well.

Competing under the brightest spotlight, CMS athletes racked up 21 PRs on the final day of the season.

“An amazing fact about track and field is that PRs become increasingly more challenging to earn each time you get one,” said Coupeville coach Jon Gabelein.

“Despite this logic, several of our athletes were able to overcome that challenge today.”

Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade boys finished second in the team standings behind Lakewood, while both CMS girls’ teams claimed 4th.

The Wolf 8th grade boys were 5th in a seven-team field.

South Whidbey swept team titles in both girls’ competitions, with King’s coming out on top among 8th grade boys’ squads.

Wolf coaches preached growth and improvement, something their young athletes demonstrated all season.

“We hope that our athletes found this year’s track season to be a rewarding adventure,” Gabelein said.

“The hard work they put in has made them stronger and faster than they were when they started. I encourage them to stay active throughout their summer.

“They really came together as a team and supported one another.

“I enjoyed helping them stay on the path towards continued improvement and realize that even the not-so-great results can be steps towards further growth.”

“I am proud of all the growth and success”

The Wolves marinate in the moment. (Kelly Powers photos)

Every day she’s making history.

Coupeville Middle School 8th grader Tamsin Ward won a pair of titles Monday at the Cascade League Track and Field Championships in Lakewood, continuing to add to her treasure chest of awards.

Rolling to victory in the shot put and high jump on day one of the two-day event, she sits with 16 wins this season and 39 for her CMS career, with five league titles to her credit.

Ward, who won the high jump as a 6th grader and the shot put and 100 as a 7th grader, will have two more shots at glory Thursday.

That’s when she and the Wolves head out for their final road trip of the season, returning to Lakewood to wrap up the seven-team meet.

Having qualified for the finals in the 100 and 200, Ward can put a stamp on her middle school days.

Her 16 wins this season are the second-most for a CMS athlete, trailing only Lindsey Roberts, who won 19 as an 8th grader in 2015, while her 39 career victories are a school record.

Tamsin Ward uncorks a winning throw.

Ward was joined on the winner’s podium Monday by 6th grade thrower Les Queen, who edged out teammate Diesel Eck to claim the discus title.

Overall, 15 of the 24 events Coupeville competed in on day one were prelims, as the fields in the sprints were trimmed down.

Along with strong work from Ward and Queen, the Wolves also got 2nd place performances in finals from Eck (Discus), Annaliese Powers (800), Brian Thompson (Long Jump), and Laurel Crowder (High Jump).

Mia Goers celebrates a PR.

Regardless of where each athlete finished, CMS coach Jon Gabelein came away impressed with his young stars and the weather.

“With the sun and a light breeze, it was a perfect day for a track meet,” he said.

“While we had lots of great performances, throwing, jumping, and running with the best in the league can make all of them even stronger.

“Being a part of this tougher competition may even be responsible for generating some of their PRs today.

“I am proud of all the growth and success that our athletes have worked so hard for throughout our season.”

They closed with a bang.

Reaching the end of the middle school cross country season Wednesday, Coupeville got third place performances from 7th graders Anna Powers and Henry Purdue at the Cascade League Championships.

Meet host South Whidbey earned both team titles at the seven-team event, with CMS nailing down third place in the boys’ competition and fourth in the girls.

Falcon 7th graders Adeline Stevens and Ash Kline claimed the individual crowns on the 3,000-meter course, with 180 runners competing.

Coupeville, which has steadily been building its numbers, sent 25 harriers to the line.

Henry Purdue (3rd) and Cyrus Sparacio (9th) landed in the top 10 in the boys race.

“It was a great end to the season!” said Wolf coach Amber Wyman.

“This really is an amazing group of athletes! They always push themselves to go the extra mile. Literally. They work hard and it shows when they race.”

While one season ends, Wyman is already looking forward to the future.

“I’m sad to see this season come to an end,” she said. “Especially since they just seem to be hitting their stride.

“I’m already looking forward to seeing what the returning athletes will do next season!”

Ward, Allen wow ’em at track finale

One, a coronation. The other, a most pleasant surprise.

The Coupeville Middle School track and field team put a stamp on the 2024 season Wednesday at day two of the Cascade League Championships in Lakewood, winning two individual titles.

The first, a triumph in the 100 from Tamsin Ward, was a thunderous uppercut.

It gave the Wolf 7th grader her second league title of the season, following a win in the shot-put last week, and her 12th victory of this campaign.

That pushes Ward one win ahead of the 11 she nailed down as a 6th grader and ties her with future high school state champ Alex Murdy for the second-best performance by a CMS athlete since 2008.

Only Lindsey Roberts, with 18 wins in 2015, tops the duo, and both she and Murdy did their winning work as 8th graders.

And why 2008? That’s as far back as athletic.net has CMS track marks recorded.

Wednesday’s second title was a bit more of a surprise, as 6th grader Zariyah Allen made them bow down in the discus.

Chucking the implement a stunning 15 feet further than her previous PR, she captured her second-ever win as a CMS track supernova and did it on the season’s biggest stage.

“Zariyah’s second throw was perfect,” said Wolf coach Jon Gabelein.

“While I knew it was much farther than she has ever thrown before, she was surprised that the official confirmed the measurement.

“Passing her previous record by 15 feet is amazing.”

Wednesday’s rumble, a seven-team showdown, finished with South Whidbey winning both girls team crowns, while King’s (6th/7th) and Lakewood (8th) split the boys titles.

Coupeville might not have had the depth to topple their bigger-school rivals in the team standings, but, to an athlete, they impressed their coaches.

“Throughout our season, students were able to see how strong efforts turn into even stronger abilities,” Gabelein said.
