The calendar is shrinking and the competition is getting tougher.

There are two regular-season track meets left for Coupeville High School athletes — including a home one with Lopez and Friday Harbor Monday (3:15 PM) — before the postseason takes everyone’s focus.

As of Sunday morning, eight Wolves have posted one of the top 10 performances in 1A this season.

Sophomore Lindsey Roberts leads the way, with her name popping up three times, once in an individual event and twice as part of relay teams.

Fellow state meet vet Jacob Smith, a junior, is the lone Wolf to appear in two different individual events.

The Top 10 CHS performances (valid as of 10:42 AM Sunday):

Girls:

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (7th) 16.30

4 x 100 Relay — Lauren Grove, Roberts, Maya Toomey-Stout, Mallory Kortuem (10th) 52.17

4 x 200 Relay — Grove, Kortuem, Roberts, Toomey-Stout (7th) 1:50.23

High Jump — Cassidy Moody (5th) 5-00

Boys:

100 — Jacob Smith (7th) 11.32

200 — Smith (4th) 23.08

Long Jump — Jacob Martin (7th) 20-07

Triple Jump — Mitchell Carroll (7th) 41-10.75

Close, just not close enough!!

Aram Leyva was kung fu fightin’.

The Coupeville High School boys soccer squad always plays Port Townsend tough, and Saturday was no different.

Unfortunately, the final score, with the Wolves on the short end of the stick, was all too familiar as well.

Falling 3-0 on its home field on a wet, windy day, Coupeville is now all but assured it will finish in third-place in the four-team 1A Olympic League.

The Wolves sit at 3-4 in conference play, 4-8-1 overall, looking up at Klahowya (6-0, 9-2-1) and Port Townsend (4-2, 6-5) with two regular-season games left to play.

Those three schools will represent the Olympic League in postseason play, as Chimacum (0-7, 2-9) was officially eliminated after absorbing an 8-1 loss Saturday to Klahowya.

Coupeville’s only chance to claim the league’s #2 seed hinges on pulling off the upset of the century Tuesday on Senior Night.

Somehow find a way to deliver Klahowya’s first-ever Olympic League loss (the Eagles are 18-0 over the past three seasons), and the Wolves faint hopes would still flicker.

After that, knock off Port Townsend on the road in the regular season finale Apr. 28, have the RedHawks lose to Klahowya and Chimacum the first two days of May, and CHS is golden.

If any of that fails to happen, accept the #3 seed and get ready to host a “home” playoff game at Oak Harbor’s Stadium May 4.

Saturday, the Wolves held Port Townsend to just a single first-half goal, but couldn’t find the back of the net themselves.

As a damp CHS coach Kyle Nelson surveyed the aftermath, he had a mixed reaction.

“Again we gifted them a goal,” he said with a slight grimace. “The positive is the continued improvement in how we are passing the ball around and making connections.

“We will be looking forward to seeing them next week for a little payback.”

It’s a battle!!

   Someone is listening, as CHS softball has rolled to an 11-1 record. (John Fisken photo)

The race tightens.

When you add up baseball, soccer, tennis and softball, Klahowya has picked-up 14 varsity league wins this spring, while Coupeville (which has played two less games) has nine.

That five-win bulge has allowed the Eagles to narrow the school year race from 32-24 to 41-38.

Port Townsend has 26 wins across the core 10 sports during the 2016-2017 school year, while Chimacum has 19.

With 17 league games left (if rain allows everything to be played), Coupeville is attempting to interrupt Klahowya’s two-year reign atop the 1A Olympic League.

The Eagles ruled the 2014-2015 school year 52-40, then narrowly held off the Wolves 45-42 in 2015-2016.

Can Coupeville ride hot streaks in softball and tennis to hang on, or will Klahowya’s strength in baseball and soccer be enough to fuel a come-back win?

Stay tuned…

Standings through games played Saturday:

Olympic League softball:

School League Overall
Chimacum 4-0 6-1
COUPEVILLE 3-1 11-1
Klahowya 1-3 4-4

Can’t catch Jacob Smith!!

Hey, big city folks, Jacob Smith is fast.

The Coupeville High School junior stared down a field packed with 2A and 3A runners Saturday at the 7th annual Lil’ Norway Invitational in Poulsbo and left them choking on his exhaust.

Beating 29 other runners, he zipped to a win in the 100, then came within .37 of a second of adding a victory in the 200.

Smith’s rapid runs (his 4 x 100 relay team also claimed 2nd) and a 2nd in the triple jump by Mitchell Carroll propelled the Wolf boys to a 4th place finish (out of 19 teams), the best showing by a 1A school.

The Coupeville girls, led by second-place finishes in the 100 hurdles (Lindsey Roberts) and 4 x 100 relay, finished 7th.

Like the boys team, the girls had the best showing of any of the six 1A schools in attendance at North Kitsap High School.

The meet also drew one 3A school, eight 2A schools and four B schools.

North Kitsap won the boys team title, while Port Angeles topped the girls race. Both are 2A schools.

Coupeville’s tent wasn’t as full as normal, as each school was limited to two athletes (and one relay team) per event.
