It wasn’t the best spring, weather-wise, that we’ve seen on the prairie.

But through the wind, and rain, and more wind and rain, the Coupeville High School softball squad put together a very successful spring.

Along for the ride was Wolf Mom (and CHS Yearbook editor) Jackie Saia, who delivers the pics seen above and below.

They’re winners, no matter the weather.

For 34 years, no one has come close to Jennie (Cross) Prince.

Then along came Reese.

Putting together the best afternoon of her track and field career on the final day of her high school athletic career, Coupeville senior Reese Wilkinson made history Saturday at the 2B state championship meet in Yakima.

Chucking the discus 121 feet, 10 inches, she broke her own PR by almost 10 and a half feet and took down the school mark of 120-03 set back in 1990.

While Prince still holds the CHS girls’ record in the shot put — under her maiden name — she was thrilled to see one of her marks finally toppled by the young women who have followed in her footsteps.

“Awesome!!! Congratulations to Reese!!!!” she said.

Wilkinson, like the woman she will replace on the school’s track record board, finished 2nd at state, one of three medals claimed by Coupeville athletes on the final day of the three-day extravaganza.

Sophomore Carly Burt sailed to a 5th place finish in the pole vault, while senior Nick Guay notched another 5th, this one in the high jump.

The trio join freshmen Axel Marshall and junior Cael Wilson, who finished 5th and 8th, respectively, in the pole vault Friday.

Burt and Wilson have two state meet medals to their credit now, with more time to add to that total.

Among active Wolves, they trail only current junior Lyla Stuurmans, who has three to her credit.

Marshall, Guay, and Wilkinson became the 88th, 89th, and 90th Wolves to earn a medal since the modern era of state track and field meets began in 1964.

Bow Down to Cow Town, indeed.

After rampaging through league play on its way to a 9-0 mark this spring, the Coupeville High School softball squad got plenty of love from rival coaches.

Sophomore catcher Teagan Calkins, the two-way terror known as “The Red Dragon,” was tabbed as co-MVP of the Northwest 2B/1B League, while diamond guru Kevin McGranahan was named Coach of the Year.

Calkins was fond of cranking home runs, both of the over-the-fence and inside-the-park variety, while playing superb defense while working with a super-young pitching staff which featured two freshmen and an 8th grader.

Eight other Wolves were honored as well, with five making the First Team in coach voting.

Mia Farris glides in to make the snag.

Those players were juniors Madison McMillan, Taylor BrotemarkleMia Farris, and Jada Heaton, as well as fab frosh Haylee Armstrong.

Her fellow freshman (and cousin), Capri Anter, was joined by 8th graders Adeline Maynes and Sydney Van Dyke as Second-Team All-League selections.

Coupeville went 14-5 overall, reclaimed its conference crown, came within a play or two of advancing to state, and can return every player on the roster next spring.

The pole vaulters got them on the scoreboard.

Freshman Axel Marshall and junior Cael Wilson captured Coupeville’s first medals Friday during day two of the 2B state track and field championships.

Competing at Zaepfel Stadium in Yakima, Marshall soared 18 inches higher than his previous PR to finish fifth, while Wilson claimed 8th in the event for a second-straight season.

Marshall is the 88th Wolf to earn a state meet medal in the modern era (1963-2024).

While the duo were the only medal winners for Coupeville, the Wolves did nail down six PR’s on the day.

The three-day meet wraps Saturday, kicking off with the “opening ceremonies,” then getting into another full day of competition.

Coupeville will have Aleera Kent (3200), Carson Field (3200), Nick Guay (High Jump), Carly Burt (Pole Vault), Aleksia Jump (Pole Vault), Reese Wilkinson (Discus), and Zac Tackett (Discus) in action during the finale.
