She survived and thrived.

Coupeville High School junior Lyla Stuurmans closed out the two-day heptathlon at the Washington State Combined Events Championship Saturday, adding another PR in the javelin as she topped or tied her best career mark in four of seven events.

Her heave went 61 feet, four inches, while she also flew 14-01 in the long jump and hit the tape in the 800 in two minutes, 34.29 seconds, which was a season-best.

Stuurmans claimed 5th in the 800, her top finish in any event at the prestigious showdown at Lake Stevens High School.

The championships drew 32 competitors from across all classifications (4A-1B), with Rochelle Jeffries of Foster making off with the heptathlon crown.

Saturday’s finale came on the heels of Friday’s opener, in which Stuurmans competed in the 200, the shot put, the high jump, and the 100 hurdles.

She’s the second Wolf in as many years to qualify for the championships, as Aidan Wilson competed in the decathlon in 2023.

One last time in the boat with her girls.

Coupeville grad Lucy Sandahl capped her collegiate rowing career Saturday, operating as the coxswain for Seattle Pacific University’s 8+ team as it competed at the NCAA D-II Championships in Ohio.

The Falcons raced three times in two days, vying in a heat and a repechage Friday, before rowing in the Petite Final on day two.

Meanwhile, SPU’s 4+ boat made off with a national title, winning their race Saturday.

Overall, the Falcons, who were making their third consecutive appearance at the national championships, finished 5th in the team standings.

Western Washington University claimed its ninth team title, and first since 2017.

Sandahl, who played volleyball and track and field during her CHS days, put together a stellar career during her run at SPU.

She was a three-time First-Team All-Academic pick, earning the honor in every year she was eligible, and became a driving force for the Falcons in her leadership position.

During her first three years in the Falcon program, Lucy was joined by big sis Sophie, who graduated in 2023.

They’re giving back.

The members of the 2023-2024 Captain’s Club at Coupeville High School recently held spring sports clinics for elementary school students in grades 3-5.

The event offered the young athletes a chance to try out track and field, cheer, soccer, softball, baseball, football, volleyball, and basketball.

Almost 200 elementary school students participated, said incoming CHS Athletic Director Brad Sherman.

“It was very cool,” he said.

PE teacher/Athletic Trainer Jessica Hillier coordinated things, but it was the high school athletes who planned and led the clinics.

The Captain’s Club is made up of juniors and seniors who have been nominated by their coaches.

The group works together throughout the school year on service projects and as leaders.

Her days are busy.

Coupeville High School junior Lyla Stuurmans is putting a cap on her track and field season by competing in the heptathlon at the Washington State Combined Events Championship this weekend.

The meet, held at Lake Stevens High School, began Friday and ends Saturday, with seven different events in play.

Stuurmans competed in the 100 hurdles, high jump, shot put, and 200 during day one, with the long jump, javelin, and 800 slated for the finale.

She set a PR in the hurdles, hitting the tape in 21.06 seconds, and tied her PR in the 200 at 29.19.

It was that kind of day for Stuurmans, who lobbed the shot put 23 feet, 00.75 inches in her debut in the event, while narrowly missing her PR in the high jump, clearing the bar at 4-03.25.

“The Franchise” is the second Wolf in as many years to compete in the combined events championship.

She’s following in the footsteps of Aidan Wilson, who finished 7th in the decathlon last spring.

Help test out the new tennis courts.

With brand-new playing surfaces just about finished next to the Coupeville High School gym, CHS coaches are planning to hold a tennis camp July 8-12.

The event is a fundraiser for Wolf tennis, while also offering young players in grades 3-8 a chance to get an introduction to the game, or finetune their skills.

Deadline to sign up is June 14.

“So excited to share our knowledge of tennis with the community!” said CHS net coach Starla Seal.

“Looking forward to introducing tennis to our youth and getting them involved at an early age in such a great sport.

“The more opportunities the youth can have the better, especially at this age when they are trying different sports out and getting a feel for which one best suits them!”
