Athletic success and academic success go hand in hand.

That’s the message being broadcast Tuesday, as Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith revealed every Wolf sports program racked up a team-wide GPA of 3.1 or better during the 2022-2023 school year.

That includes the school’s female cross country runners, who were 2B state academic champions during the fall.

Hitting big numbers across the board required the effort of many.

“I want to say a great big thank you to our teachers,” Smith said. “They have worked diligently with our coaches and student athletes to help lead them through our athletic contract process.

“It is greatly appreciated and shows the commitment our staff has with our athletic programs!”

 

2022-2023 team GPA’s, with coaches:

 

Fall Sports:

Girls Cross Country (3.97) – Paige Spangler
Varsity Volleyball (3.68) – Cory Whitmore
JV Volleyball (3.66) – Ashley Menges

Hawk flies to postseason

Off to the playoffs he goes.

Coupeville grad Hawthorne Wolfe and the Western Washington University club baseball squad capped the regular season this past weekend with a three-game sweep of Portland State University.

Rolling to 16-9, 3-0, and 17-3 victories, the Vikings stretch their win streak to six games and get to 19-9 on the season.

Next up is a trip to Nampa, Idaho May 12-14, where WWU joins Oregon, Utah State, and Boise State in the double-elimination Northern Pacific Regional Tournament.

The winner claims one of eight tickets to the National Club Baseball Association Division 1 World Series, held May 26-June 2 in Illinois.

A decade ago, another Coupeville alumni, Jordan Wilcox, hit .313 across four games for WWU at the 2013 World Series.

Seeded #7 in an eight-team field, that edition of the Vikings surprised folks, finishing fourth at the season-ending tourney.

Wolfe, a freshman at Western, scored four runs, eked out three walks, smacked a pair of hits, and made off with a stolen base this weekend while facing off with Portland State.

On the season, the former CHS star has worked primarily as a pitcher, making 10 appearances — most of any WWU hurler — with four starts.

He has racked up 22 strikeouts while on the bump, putting Wolfe second-best among Viking pitchers.

Djina Radenovic and Wolf tennis play twice as the regular season wraps.

A little something for everyone.

The week ahead is a hodgepodge of regular season and playoff action, with all four Coupeville High School spring sports teams involved.

Wolf softball and girls’ tennis wrap regular season action, while track and field and baseball begin what they hope will be long postseason runs.

The netters travel to Mount Vernon Tuesday, May 9 in a match just added to the schedule, then host Friday Harbor May 12.

That second bout, where the Wolves will celebrate Senior Night, offers CHS a chance to claim sole possession of the Northwest 2B/1B League title.

After that, Ken Stange’s squad sends its top players on to the district tourney, which is set to go down in Seattle May 19.

The CHS softball squad, meanwhile, travels to South Whidbey May 12 for a final non-league game, then packs up the equipment.

The Wolf sluggers were nipped by Friday Harbor in the league finale and lost a chance to advance to the playoffs.

Baseball and track get their postseason closeup Saturday, May 13, with the hardball squad on the road at Lakewood High School, where they will face either Northwest Christian (Lacey) or Friday Harbor.

The Wolf runners, throwers, and jumpers defend their home turf, with CHS hosting the district meet.

Do well, and the state championships are next on the schedule for both teams.

As we head into a week of intrigue, a look at where things sit in terms of wins and losses:

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
Coupeville 13-1 15-5
MV Christian 13-1 14-3
Friday Harbor 8-6 8-8
Orcas Island 7-8 11-8
Darrington 6-9 8-10
La Conner 3-11 5-14
Concrete 0-14 0-15

 

Northwest League girls’ tennis:

School League Overall
Coupeville 2-1 2-5
Friday Harbor 1-2 1-3

 

Northwest League softball:

School League Overall
Friday Harbor 11-1 14-4
Coupeville 10-2 13-6
Darrington 8-4 9-5
Orcas Island 5-7 5-11
La Conner 2-10 3-16
Concrete 0-12 0-14

Splish-splash, they make the boat zip

They’re living on the water these days.

Coupeville’s Sophie and Lucy Sandahl were back in the boat Saturday, as Seattle Pacific University rowers competed in the Windermere Cup Regatta.

The event, which signals the start of boating season in Washington state, is held on the Montlake Cut in Seattle.

Hosted annually by the University of Washington, it brings in a stellar group of competitors.

This year that included the highly ranked Australian national teams, who vied with the U-Dub in the day’s final events.

The Sandahl sisters were in two different boats Saturday, with Lucy the coxswain for the varsity 4+ squad, which claimed 2nd place in its race.

Sophie rowed with the JV 8+ team, occupying the #7 seat as she and her group grabbed 3rd place.

SPU returns to action next weekend, when the Falcons travel to Oregon for the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships, which go down May 12-13.

After moving to Whidbey Island from South Carolina, the Sandahl sisters made a positive impact on Cow Town during their prep days.

Sophie, a college senior, began at Coupeville schools, then swam for Oak Harbor High School, where she earned her diploma.

Young sister Lucy played volleyball and competed in track and field at CHS, graduating with the Class of 2020.
