They defeated their greatest opponent – inactivity.

Coupeville High School track and field stars haven’t competed since March 28, but four Wolves have stubbornly held on to their spots on the Top 10 lists for 2B athletes.

Three of the four saw their rankings slip just a bit, as other teens had a chance to post new times and heights, but now it’ll be their turn.

The quartet, and their teammates, return to action this coming Saturday, with an appearance at the Forks Lion Club Invitational.

After that the Wolves have four more regular season meets as April plays out, before beginning the postseason run in May.

As classes start back up, and CHS track returns to the day-to-day grind, a look at where Cow Town sits among 2B’s best:

 

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (7th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (8th-tie) 7-00

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (5th-tie) 11-00

Time to get back at it.

Coupeville High School sports teams had the week off for spring break, but with the return to classes next week, the Wolves will also return to competition.

With a fury.

Both CHS softball and baseball have four games this coming week, with home clashes against Sultan (Monday) and La Conner (Thursday) and road trips to Darrington (Tuesday) and Forks (Saturday).

Meanwhile Wolf girls’ tennis is slated to travel to South Whidbey Wednesday, while track and field heads to Forks Saturday for a meet.

Coupeville’s wrecking crew is ready to rumble once more.

As everyone gears back up for competition, you might be curious where teams are sitting, win/loss wise.

Two on the track, one on the water.

Coupeville High School alumni were busy Saturday, competing in college sports events around the country.

How they did:

 

Taygin Jump:

A freshman at Plattsburgh State, she competed at the Pioneer Spring Invite in Utica, scoring points for her team in the hammer throw.

Jump tossed the implement 37.30 meters to claim seventh place, while also lobbing the shot put 8.62 meters.

If there was an extra skip in her step, it’s because the former Wolf was recently honored as one of Plattsburgh’s Cardinals of the Week.

The honor was for Jump’s performance at the Saints Icebreaker meet March 30, where she won both the hammer and javelin.

 

Lucy Sandahl:

The Seattle Pacific University senior was in the varsity 8+ boat as coxswain as the Falcon rowers plied the water at the Pioneer/Pilot Invitational in Vancouver, Washington.

The day’s racing was shortened by weather which caused rough conditions, but SPU was strong in all four of its events.

Sandahl and company competed against Great Northwest Athletic Conference rivals Western Washington and Cal Poly Humboldt.

 

Tate Wyman:

The former Wolf, now a freshman at Oregon Tech, set PRs in both of his events at the Humboldt Invitational in Arcata, California.

Wyman hit the tape in 16.51 seconds in the 110 hurdles, claiming third place, then finished 12th (out of 26 competitors) in the 200 in 23.85.

Logan Martin, living up to the hype.

Logan Martin didn’t have much down time Friday.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Central Washington University, threw in three events at the John Knight Twilight meet in Monmouth, Oregon.

Martin’s best showing came in his premier event, the hammer throw, where he placed second out of 16 competitors, launching the implement 173 feet, one inch.

He was nearly two feet ahead of the third-place chucker, and hot on the heels of eventual winner Donaven Humphries of Clackamas College.

While the hammer is where Martin wows the audience, he also competes in the shot put and discus, and placed in the top half of the field in both events in Oregon.

The former Wolf finished 11th (out of 23 throwers) in the shot put with a heave of 40-07.75 and 12th in the discus (out of 24 hurlers), with his throw plummeting back to Earth at the 120-09 mark.

His performance Friday continues a life-long odyssey of being really, really good at athletic pursuits, as Martin played soccer, tennis, and basketball in addition to track and field during his CHS days.

Central Washington is next scheduled to compete April 11 at the Whitworth Twilight meet in Spokane.

Jon Atkins

He’s movin’ on up.

Former Coupeville football coach Jon Atkins is now the Athletic Director at Mariner High School in Everett.

That’s a 4A institution which plays in Wesco.

Atkins, who is also an Assistant Principal at Mariner, made the job change public on Facebook Friday afternoon.

“Athletics has been a huge part of my life and now I get to serve in my dream job!” he wrote.

Atkins, who was also a girls’ basketball coach in Oak Harbor, worked the gridiron sidelines at Coupeville High School from 2016-2017.

He will be best remembered by Wolf Nation for posting a perfect record against archrival South Whidbey, leading Coupeville to back-to-back wins in the annual Bucket Game.
