Four for four.

Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk finished the three-day USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships having qualified for regionals in all of his events.

He’s eligible to compete in the 200, 400, 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 at that event, which is a precursor to nationals.

Regionals is July 4-7 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, the same place Conlisk ran this weekend.

After finishing 2nd in the 400 and 5th in the 4 x 1 Saturday, Conlisk roared to a 6th in the 200 Sunday.

Not feeling his best, he sat out the 4 x 4 finals Sunday, but is one of six Kitsap Fliers runners listed in the event, so advances along with his team.

Before regionals, Conlisk is slated to return to the track oval June 29 at South Kitsap Stadium for the 5th annual Kitsap Fliers Invitational.

This is the second-straight summer Conlisk, a 2019 Coupeville High School grad, has run with the Fliers track team.

At the end of the summer, the two-time state champ departs Washington state and is bound for the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.

Conlisk will be running track on scholarship for the NCAA D-II school.

Seven weeks until the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Coupeville High School Class of 2020.

The 8th annual Race the Reserve, where runners pound across the prairie in 5K and 10K races, as well as half, full, and relay marathons, goes down Aug. 10.

While you can register all the way up to the morning of the event, if you get your paperwork in order by July 20, you’ll be guaranteed of nabbing a race t-shirt in your size.

Race the Reserve offers runners a unique landscape to explore.

Races begin and end at Coupeville Elementary School, with a chance to traverse both Ebey’s Prairie and Crockett Prairie within Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve.

One of only three historical reserves in the United States, it offers sweeping views of the ocean, mountain, and prairie farmland.

Along the way, you may see Mount Baker, the North Cascades, and the Olympic Mountains, plus marathon runners will ramble through Fort Casey State Park, where World War II-era bunkers and lighthouse are still intact.

The weekend of Race the Reserve is the busiest of the year for Whidbey Island, as the Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival, featuring 200+ booths, is also held in the downtown area.

Just a short walk from the race finish line, the festival, in its 55th year, offers a wide variety of vendors, in addition to food, activities for children, and a rotating roster of musicians playing for the people.

Race the Reserve, which is put on by the parents of the next year’s graduating class, funds a safe and sober graduation night celebration.

And PS, race organizers are also looking for volunteers to help guide runners and operate water stations. If interested, you can contact them at the same site.

Past connections pay off.

New Coupeville High School girls basketball coach Scott Fox was a firefighter and fire captain in California before retiring to Whidbey.

During that time he worked 20 years with the father of Seattle Storm standout Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, seeing her rise from a junior high star to the national high school player of the year, then a three-time national champion at the University of Connecticut.

Friday night Fox got a chance to take seven CHS seniors to watch her play in person, as the Storm bounced the LA Sparks 84-62 at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett.

The Wolves – Tia Wurzrainer, Jered Brown, Hannah Davidson, Gavin Knoblich, Avalon Renninger, Jacobi Pilgrim, and Scout Smith – also got to meet Mosqueda-Lewis.

The 25-year-old small forward has enjoyed a stellar career at every level.

Mosqueda-Lewis was the ESPN National Player of the Year in 2010 and 2011, while adding the State Farm/WBCA High School Player of the Year, Naismith High School Player of the Year, and Gatorade National Player of the Year her senior season.

She captured gold medals four times while playing for different Team USA squads, was a three-time national champion at UConn, and won a 2018 WNBA title with the Storm.

Mosqueda-Lewis also holds the NCAA D-I women’s career record for made three-point shots, rattling home 398 three-balls, while shooting a crisp 44.7% from behind the arc.

Two finals down, two to go.

Coupeville grad Danny Conlisk stormed through the Saturday session of the three-day USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships, picking up two top-five finishes.

Running at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Conlisk, who is competing with the Kitsap Fliers this summer, finished 2nd in the 400, and he and his teammates claimed 5th in the 4 x 100.

He zipped across the line in 50.52 seconds in his individual event.

The Fliers relay squad struggled in the early legs, but got a big surge down the backstretch from their Coupeville ace and finished in 44.76.

Conlisk competes in two more finals Sunday, when he’ll run in the 200 and the 4 x 400 relay.

After that, he returns to action June 29 at the 5th annual Kitsap Fliers Invitational.

Conlisk is also scheduled to appear at the USATF Region 13 Junior Olympic Championships July 4-7 and the Pacific Coast Championship Games July 13-14.

After wrapping up the summer track season, the two-time state champion is off to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where he’ll run for the NCAA D-II school on scholarship.

They threw weather at him, and a packed field, and yet he endured.

Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk stared down cold, windy conditions and a group of 31 other runners Friday, winning his prelim heat in the 200 at the USATF Pacific Northwest Association Junior Olympic Championships.

The two-time state champ, who is running for the Kitsap Fliers this spring and summer, hit the tape in 22.58 seconds at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

That was the best showing in heat #5, and seeds him #3 for the finals in the event.

It also qualified Conlisk for the Junior Olympic Regionals, which go down July 4-7.

His current meet is a three-day affair, with Conlisk scheduled to run in two finals each of the next two days.

He’ll lace up his running shoes for the 400 and 4 x 100 relay Saturday, then head to the line Sunday in the 200 and 4 x 400.
