They never saw it coming.

Because of a quirk in the system, Coupeville High School senior Christine Fields never went head-to-head with the other golfers in the Olympic League until Tuesday.

Once she did, she slapped ’em silly.

Carding an 85 over 18 holes at Dungeness Golf Course in Sequim, Fields romped to the 1A girls title (by an astonishing 10 strokes!) and earned a berth at the district tourney May 19.

From there, she’ll try and earn a fourth consecutive appearance at state.

As a junior Fields finished 5th in 1A.

Because CHS doesn’t have a golf team, she trained and traveled with Island mate South Whidbey, which meant her regular season play came in the 1A/2A Cascade Conference.

With the start of the postseason, she reverted to the Olympic League, which the rest of the Wolf sports teams have competed in this year.

Everything’s coming up Roses!!

The best photo ever taken of a girl who has no freakin' clue she's about to be pick-pocketed by the incoming Lauren Rose.

There was too much awesomeness to contain in one body, so they split into Wonder Twins.

Lauren and Kayla Rose may only be freshmen at Coupeville High School, but the duo, who celebrate a joint birthday today, are already stars.

If there has ever been a moment in their young lives when they weren’t smiling, I have yet to see it.

Whether competing for the Wolves, cheering for each other and their classmates, or bouncing through the stands, harassing their parents for snack money, the Rose sisters are whirlwinds of joy and positive energy exploding across the universe.

Both played volleyball for CHS, while Lauren is a three-sport dynamo, adding in basketball and softball to the mix.

Of course, both are more than mere athletes, coming off as smart-as-a-whip, friendly, outgoing young women.

Whether Lauren is gunning down would-be base stealers who foolishly dare to run on her arm from behind the plate, or Kayla is snapping photos, they are a pair to make Coupeville proud.

Plus, unlike the equally awesome Luvera twins, Ana and Ivy (sorry girls), I can actually tell them apart, which is super helpful.

For me, at least…

As the Roses celebrate today, I want to wish both of them the best. May you have much cake as you kick-off another year together.

Two bright, shining stars twinkling, not in the skies above, but right here among us in Cow Town.

Happy birthday, Lauren and Kayla!

What in the world did Grey Rische have for breakfast?

Whatever the Coupeville High School sophomore ingested Monday, it fueled him up big time.

By the time he was done rampaging through the Olympic League JV track and field championships at North Mason High School, Rische had set three PRs — including busting his best mark in the javelin by a jaw-dropping nine feet — and captured one of four victories by Wolf athletes.

Equally impressive were freshman Jesse Hester, who ran away with titles in both the 110 and 300 hurdles and sophomore Alexxis Otto, who claimed top honors in the shot put.

Her throw went more than three feet further than her previous best.

In a field of 10 schools, Coupeville finished 6th in the boys team standings and 7th on the girls side. 2A schools North Kitsap (boys) and North Mason (girls) took the team titles.

Mitchell Losey is a man among men.

A sandwich-eatin’ beast who fears no cold cut, who backs down from no mayo-slathered challenge.

The culinary world belongs to the Coupeville High School junior track star (and his sturdy digestive tract).

We’re just nibblin’ along side him, while he’s out there dominating the game.

Well played, Mr. Losey. Well played.

Abby

  Abby Parker puts every last ounce of her heart and soul into the finish of the 800, setting a PR like a boss.

Dalton

  After Dalton Martin let loose with this throw, he turned green and ripped his shirt in half.

Skyler

   Skyler Lawrence reaches down deep and finds her inner groove, chucking the discus to a PR.

"Dalton rest now. Dalton want lemonade. Chop chop!!"

“Dalton rest now. Dalton want lemonade. Chop chop!!”

That little something extra.

It’s what every track and field athlete is looking for, and every cameraman.

A lot of Wolf athletes pictured here found that extra something Saturday, setting PRs and hitting big throws and quick times at the Olympic League championships.

Merrily clicking away, John Fisken also found that something special, and he was nice enough to let us gaze upon his work.
