The prep work is done. Now it’s on to the final quiz.

The regular season came to an end Thursday for the Coupeville High School track and field team, as it captured six wins and 15 PR’s at a four-team meet in Port Angeles.

Now, the postseason run begins, kicking off May 4 at home when CHS hosts the 1A Olympic League meet.

That event will pit the Wolves against Port Townsend, Klahowya and Chimacum.

Unlike previous seasons, the league’s 1A schools are striking out on their own and won’t compete along side the seven 2A schools from the conference.

After that, there’s the JV Championships at Kingston May 7, then districts (May 18-19) at Renton and state (May 25-26) at Cheney.

To get ready, the Wolves headed to Port Angeles Thursday to face off with a pair of 2A schools and one of their key 1A rivals.

The Coupeville girls, led by a win in the discus from Allison Wenzel, finished second in the team standings with 47 points.

Port Angeles (90), Port Townsend (27) and Sequim (16) rounded out the results.

On the boys side, CHS was third (47.5), with Sequim (68.5) and PA (53) edging them out. PT was well back, with just six points.

The Wolf boys were led by senior Jacob Smith, who came away with three wins on the day.

He bolted to victories in the 100 and 200, while also finding time to run on a 4 x 100 squad which included Henry Wynn and the Toomey-Stout brothers, Sean and Cameron.

Ariah Bepler (High Jump) and Ryan Labrador (Shot Put) rounded out the Wolf winners, while 11 CHS athletes set at least one PR.

Luke Carlson, Jakobi Baumann, Lindsey Roberts and Henry Wynn led the way, each copping two personal bests.

Kameryn St Onge rips winners, every dang day.

   A South Whidbey player on Coupeville Sports???? In this case, it’s the brilliant Oliana Stange, so we’ll make an exception.

Fab frosh Genna Wright lashes a scorching winner.

You want intensity, hit the tennis courts.

While the young women who swing the rackets are generally some of the most easy-going, polite people you will find, put them between the lines and they become cold-blooded assassins.

That’s shown in the pics above, which were shot Wednesday by local paparazzi John Fisken.

Friday’s epic baseball showdown just got a little more … epic.

With both of their prior meetings coming down to a single run, very little separates Coupeville and Chimacum as they prep for a 4 PM game tomorrow, Apr. 27.

And now, thanks to an unexpected plot twist, the teams really are dead even.

Chimacum Athletic Director Tony Haddenham cleared up a nagging mystery Thursday, confirming Port Townsend forfeited a Mar. 21 game to the Cowboys.

While no reason has been given for the forfeit, that changes Chimacum’s record from 4-1 in 1A Olympic League play to 5-1, pushing them back into a tie with Coupeville.

The Wolves (11-4 overall) and Cowboys (7-7) essentially control their own destinies, at least until Friday’s game goes final.

Win out across your final three games and you can’t be denied.

Lose Friday, though, and you fall a game back with two to play, and then you’ll need some help, no matter who you are.

Coupeville, which is expected to send ace Hunter Smith to the mound Friday, is seeking a second league crown in the last three seasons.

That would be a fitting farewell present for the baseball program before CHS exits to the new North Sound Conference in the fall.

Chimacum has never finished higher than third in the previous three years of the four-team league.

 

UPDATE (6:30 PM Thursday):

A Port Townsend starter said the game was forfeited because the RedHawks couldn’t field a full lineup that day.

Right where they want to be, in the driver’s seat.

Taking care of business Wednesday, the Coupeville High School baseball squad bushwhacked host Port Townsend 17-6, clinched a playoff berth and moved into sole possession of first place in the 1A Olympic League.

With the victory, their fourth straight and eighth in their last nine games, the Wolves soar to 5-1 in conference action, 11-4 overall.

That puts them a half game up on Chimacum (4-1, 6-7) which visits Whidbey Friday for the rubber match in a three-game season series.

The Cowboys won 5-4 in the rain at home two weeks ago, then the Wolves returned the favor 1-0 in the prairie sun Monday afternoon.

Port Townsend (1-4, 1-9) and defending league champ Klahowya (1-5, 2-12) bring up the rear, and neither team can catch Coupeville, guaranteeing the Wolves one of the league’s two playoff berths.

While the RedHawks have only won a single game in the past three years, they’ve pushed CHS this season.

The first time the teams faced, the Wolves eked out a 3-1 win, and Wednesday, Coupeville trailed 4-1 after two innings of play.

CHS had gone down one-two-three in the top of the first, then given up three runs in the bottom half of the inning thanks to a couple of errors and some timely PT base-knocks.

The Wolves got one run back in the second, with Julian Welling plunking a single and coming around to score on a ground-out by Dane Lucero, but the RedHawks immediately answered with a score of their own.

Instead of panicking, Coupeville went to work, ramming home three runs in the third to tie things up, before exploding for five in the fourth and eight in the fifth to wrap things.

The Wolves set the table in the third with a Matt Hilborn single, a Joey Lippo walk, then a double steal from the fleet-footed duo.

With runners in scoring position, Hunter Smith came up big, drilling a two-run single, before coming around to score on an RBI single off of Welling’s smoking-hot bat.

With the game knotted at four, Lucero, who whiffed four, bore down on the mound and held the RedHawks relatively in check the rest of the way.

Not content to sit on a narrow lead, the Wolves super-charged their bats heading into the fourth and promptly began crushing the snot out of the Port Townsend pitching.

Jake Hoagland, who obviously ate his Wheaties, bashed a pair of triples, one in the fourth, one in the fifth, with the first one narrowly missing being a round-tripper.

Coupeville actually had a trio of three-baggers on the day, as Hunter Smith jacked one as well.

With the ball flying off the bats of the Wolves, the RedHawks helped out a bit, juggling balls and letting the speedy Wolves turn singles into two or three bases at a time.

CHS finished with 13 hits, with five different hitters racking up at least two base-knocks apiece.

Hilborn (1B, 1B, 2B) led the attack, while Hoagland (two triples) and Smith (1B, 3B) went deep and Lippo and Welling each collected a pair of singles.

Jake Pease and Lucero rapped singles to round out the hit parade, while Lippo had the web gem o’ the day, spearing a liner at second while on a dead sprint.

Play until the sun goes down.

That seemed to be the objective Wednesday for the final two varsity doubles teams on the court as Coupeville and South Whidbey clashed.

By the time Wolves Kameryn St Onge and Maggie Crimmins finished their epic battle with Falcons Oliana Stange and Ally Lynch, every other court was empty.

And, even though the result of their bout wouldn’t change the outcome of the team match (South Whidbey eventually won 4-1), the duos raged on against the dying sun.

One second-set game went to 24,507 deuces (give or take a few) as all four players took turns whacking crowd-pleasing winners.

Then, at the end, as Crimmins and St Onge tried to pull out a second-set tiebreaker (and force another, match-deciding tie breaker) things got downright bloody.

St Onge, who had been cranking wicked left-handed winners that skidded through the alleys, ripped open a finger and had to make a bee-line for a first-aid kit.

“We’re never going home, are we?”, said Jon Crimmins, Maggie’s proud papa, chuckling as he gazed at a marsh occupying the space where the CHS baseball diamond of his youth once sat.

And, while Stange and Lynch pulled out the win a few points later thanks to a couple of sweet winners, it was a fairly-perfect cap for all involved.

While the final team score was the same as the first time these teams met back in mid-March, the scrappy underdog Wolves (4-8 on the season) showed marked improvement against the Falcons (7-1).

Sophomore sluggers Tia Wurzrainer and Avalon Renninger battled back from a set down to win Wednesday, while freshman Genna Wright won six more games in her second go-around with battle-hardened Ashley Ricketts.

The strong play continued to the JV matches, where Coupeville won twice and Emily Fiedler and Jaimee Masters, in particular, laid down some brilliant shots.

If nothing else, the non-conference match was a good tune-up for Thursday’s ultra-important match-and-a-half at Silverdale.

The Wolves (2-1 in Olympic League play) will wrap a rain-delayed match (it’s sitting at 2-2 with three bouts still undecided), then play their regularly-scheduled tilt with Klahowya (0-3).

Win both and CHS vaults a half game ahead of Chimacum (3-1) and guarantees it will play for a fourth-straight league title.

1st Singles — Claire Mietus lost to Robynn Maciel 6-0, 6-2
