You can start calling him Tate the Great.

Saturday was a standout day for Coupeville grad Tate Wyman, now a sophomore track and field athlete plying his trade a state away.

Competing on his home turf at the Oregon Tech Invitational in Klamath Falls, the former Wolf put in his strongest performance of the season, winning two of three events he vied in.

Wyman soared 21 feet, eight inches in the long jump, setting a PR and finishing an impressive eight inches better than anyone else in the field.

He also ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit which set a season best at 42.66 seconds, before finishing the day as part of a 4 x 400 squad which hit the tape in 3:38.27, earning 5th.

Coming off today’s home meet, the Hustlin’ Owls are slated to be back in action next Saturday, April 26, traveling to Salem, Oregon for the Berney Classic.

Let it fly!

Coupeville grad Taygin Jump, now a sophomore at Plattsburgh State, kept busy Saturday, competing in three events at the Middlebury Invitational in Vermont.

The former Wolf topped out with a 4th place finish in the javelin, tossing her implement 93 feet, nine inches.

Jump also chucked the hammer 101-10 and smashed her PR in the discus with a throw of 77-05.

The triple-threat performance allowed her to keep a season of success rolling along, but she’s not done yet.

Plattsburgh State is slated to be in Canton, New York next Friday, April 25 for the SLU Twilight Invite hosted by St. Lawrence University.

Jump, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, was a top-notch volleyball player (school and club) and track and field athlete during her days growing up in Coupeville.

Only one man could save them – the Son of Sherry!

Coupeville senior Landon Roberts is at his highlight reel best in the series of pics below, nabbing a La Conner player foolhardy enough to challenge him at the plate.

As if.

Just how mom taught him to play!

Softball sluggers deliver hit parade

You will know them by the trail of screaming softballs they leave behind.

The Coupeville High School diamond squad is comprised of hardy hitters, top of the order to bottom, with a pack of young women who enjoy blistering opposing pitchers.

That was on display once again Thursday, as the Wolves rapped out 20 base knocks, including seven extra-base hits, en route to clobbering visiting La Conner 29-0 in a game mercy-ruled after five torrid innings.

The victory lifts Aaron Lucero’s crew to a crisp 6-0 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 9-1 overall, with Concrete next up on the chopping block.

Thursday’s showdown was decided quickly, and with great emphasis.

Starting pitcher Adeline Maynes, who whiffed six across three innings of work, picked up two of those K’s wrapped around an infield popup she corralled with her own glove, and then the Wolf offense unleashed.

Taylor Brotemarkle got drilled by a pitch to open Coupeville’s half of the frame, sending the feisty shortstop hoppin’ around and (possibly) thinking about charging the pitcher’s circle.

But before any cheeky writers could start a chant of “fight! fight! fight!!” Brotemarkle ambled down to first base, then promptly tore around the basepaths, coming in to score two batters later on a wild pitch.

Coupeville slapped five runs on the board in the first, with Teagan Calkins cranking a double to deep left, while Madison McMillan and Maynes pasted singles back up the middle.

The opening frame was just a taste of the havoc to come, however, as the Wolves added 11 runs in the second and nine more in the third, before coasting in with a four-spot in their final at-bats in the bottom of the fourth.

Aggressive baserunning fueled the run explosion, with the Wolves taking extra bags in the blink of an eye and keeping the Braves jumpy and frustrated all day.

Put a pitch anywhere near the plate and Coupeville’s sluggers promptly sent the ball screaming off to explore the wild blue yonder.

Mia Farris crunched a long triple, then scooted home when the throw back in went wide, while running mate Jada Heaton lashed an absolute laser down the left field line for a two-run double.

Not to be outdone, Brotemarkle, making sure not to get drilled by any more wayward pitches, blistered the ball for a pair of three-baggers, while Capri Anter came within a step of hitting an inside-the-park home run.

The sophomore pitcher, who came on in relief of Maynes, walloped a ball to straight away center field and had a sure-thing triple.

Running under a full head of steam, it was going to take a great throw to nail Anter at the plate, and give La Conner credit, the Braves absolutely nailed the heave, with their catcher slapping the tag.

Even the hits that weren’t official hits were impressive, as young gun Emma Cushman, who reached base thanks to a dropped third strike, nailed a screamer down the first-base line which banked foul at the very last second.

Not to be lost in all the offensive shenanigans, Coupeville’s Ava Lucero, having moved from first base to catcher midway through the game, delivered her own sensational defensive play.

Popping up from behind the plate, she delivered a note-perfect pick-off throw that caught a straying La Conner runner off of third, the ball popping right into McMillan’s glove and earning a roar of applause from the Wolf bench.

 

Thursday stats:

Capri Anter — One triple
Taylor Brotemarkle — One single, two triples, one walk
Teagan Calkins — Three singles, one double
Mia Farris — One triple, one walk
Jada Heaton — One single, one double
Ava Lucero — One double, two walks

Sunny skies, sizzlin’ performances

It was a day for winners.

Hosting its first home meet of the season Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team went wild in the sun, racking up 12 wins, 62 PRs, and a ton of positive memories.

Toss in a team title for the Wolf boys, and the fact that an athlete accidentally left behind by Orcas Island eventually got retrieved, and things were fairly peachy all around.

“Thanks to our all-star crew, it ran smoother than a sprinter on a tailwind,” said CHS coach Bob Martin.

“Christi Messner, Jen Marzocca, Aimee Bishop, and Barbi Ford worked their magic on the timing system, Jerry Helm fired the gun like a pro, and Neil Rixe caught every finish with eagle-eyed precision.

“Huge thanks to the incredible coaches who jumped in to help run events, so every athlete had a chance to shine.

“And let’s not forget our legendary team parents — fueling the crew with hot chili, soup, and enough snacks to power a relay team. It truly takes a village to run a meet, and Coupeville showed up in style.”

The Wolf boys topped the 13-team field with a 219-point explosion, putting them way ahead of runner-up La Conner (103), while the Wolf girls (98) were third, behind Mount Vernon Christian (185) and La Conner (111.5).

Axel Marshall (left) and Cael Wilson discuss strategy.

Cael Wilson led the way, picking up three individual wins (high jump, pole vault, long jump), while also running a leg on a triumphant 4 x 400 relay squad.

Carson Field (800, 1600, 3200), Katie Marti (discus, javelin), Lyla Stuurmans (800), and Matthew Ward (triple jump) also came out on top, as did the boys 4 x 100 unit.

The Wolves get back at it this Saturday, but with a change in their game plan.

Originally slated to travel to Cashmere, they are instead trekking off to the Forks Lion Club Invitational.
