Make room for some more Wolves on the bus.

Coupeville High School qualified nine track and field athletes for the 2B state meet, but they’ll actually be taking more.

That’s because the CHS boys 4 x 100 relay unit, comprised of Marquette Cunningham, Liam Blas, Wyatt Fitch-Marron, and Davin Houston is on its way to Yakima for the year-end rumble.

Wolf coaches are allowed to take a pack of alternates to back up the main four runners, and Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting officially tapped that group Monday.

Sophomores Edmund Wilson, Richmond Bandong, and Beckett Green get the call, pushing the Cow Town state contingent to an even dozen.

Wolf thrower lives to fling

He keeps on chucking.

A day after competing with his Coupeville teammates at the District 1 track and field championships, Wolf sophomore Khanor Jump hit the road Sunday, vying at Hammer Meet Series 8 at the Evergreen State College in Olympia.

While there, the CHS ace finished 7th, unleashing a throw of 114 feet, four inches.

That’s his third-best distance in the event all time.

Since the hammer throw is not part of most high school meets in Washington state, the Olympia-based series offers throwers a chance to compete on a regular basis, culminating in a championship event separate from the one run by the WIAA.

Khanor, following in the footsteps of big sis Taygin, now a collegiate thrower at Plattsburgh State in New York, finished 22nd at the state hammer championships as a freshman.

He’s been busy at CHS as well, competing in the discus, shot put, and javelin this spring, earning top 10 finishes in all three events at the district meet.

They’re three wins away from a state title.

A trio of Coupeville High School netters have advanced to the 2B/1B state tournament and now they know their path.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association released the brackets Sunday for the double-elimination event, which goes down May 22-23 at the Yakima Tennis Club.

Sophomore Tenley Stuurmans, making her second trip to the big dance after qualifying as an 8th grader, opens against senior Kayden Koth of Manson.

A repeat state qualifier who has primarily played doubles in the past, Koth has signed to continue her net career at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho.

Meanwhile, the doubles duo of Coupeville seniors Dahlia Miller and Aleksia Jump, who hadn’t played together until this spring, will square off with Jacqueline Benitez and Sarai Romero from Granger.

Start times are still to be determined.

Win or lose, all three Wolves get a second match Friday. Keep playing into Saturday and they’ll have a shot at bringing home hardware, as the top four finishers earn trophies.

The brackets:

It’s the Wolves vs. the Coyotes.

The Coupeville High School softball squad has been seeded #8 in the 16-team double-elimination 2B state tourney and will open against #9 Kittitas.

The Wolves, who sit at 18-2, are making their fifth appearance at the big dance and are going in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history.

Kittitas, which carries a 15-10 record to the Gateway Sports Complex in Yakima, has qualified in four straight campaigns and 17 overall.

CHS and KHS are slated to face off at 11:00 AM Friday, May 22.

Win or lose the Wolves return to action later in the day against either #1 Freeman or #16 Friday Harbor, with the latter being the team they just beat to capture the District 1 title.

You can see the bracket here:

From last year’s field of 16, there were 13 teams which made it back to state this season, with Coupeville and Kittitas both splitting the four games each played a year ago.

Raymond-South Bend, Northwest Christian, and Tonasket fell by the wayside this season, with Brewster, Rainier, and Friday Harbor taking slots in the 2026 tourney.

Kittitas plays in the highly competitive Eastern Washington Athletic Conference, which divides its 10 softball-playing schools into two five-team divisions.

The Coyotes finished 8-0 in league play to sweep to the title in the West division, while River View (7-1) and Warden (7-1) shared top honors in the East.

Those three, plus West runner-up Cle Elum-Roslyn (6-2) made the cut for state.

Numbers-wise Coupeville’s Smash Sisters have outscored their foes 298-49 this season, which breaks down to a 14.9-2.5 average, while Kittitas is at 282-182 or 11.3-7.3.

With their schools sitting 166 miles apart, the Wolves and Coyotes haven’t played a ton of games against each other over the years.

But CHS did travel East in 2019, where it rode a wham-bam rushing attack led by Andrew Martin to garner a 28-0 win.

The schools have also played several times in recent seasons in holiday basketball tourneys.

Coupeville and Kittitas have clashed twice in state events, but both were way back in the 1970’s.

Wolf baseball won 14-0 in 1977, while Kittitas boys’ basketball came out on top 63-54 in 1970.

CHS track sends nine to state

The spring bonanza continues.

Hot on the heels of the Coupeville High School softball team and three girls’ tennis players qualifying for state, the Wolf track and field team had nine athletes punch their tickets to the big dance.

Needing a top two finish at Saturday’s District 1 Championships to advance, two freshmen, three sophomores, a junior, and three seniors hit their marks while defending their home turf in Cow Town.

Fab frosh Tamsin Ward (Shot Put, High Jump) and Cyrus Sparacio (1600, 3200) each captured two district titles, while sophomore Wyatt Fitch-Marron (High Jump) also finished atop the medal stand.

Sophomore Lillian Ketterling (Pole Vault, Discus), junior Davin Houston (High Jump), and seniors George Spear (1600, 3200) and Zachary Saho (Shot Put) all finished second in their events, as did the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.

That foursome was comprised of Fitch-Marron, Houston, sophomore Liam Blas, and senior Marquette Cunningham.

Now, the nine (plus some soon-to-be-named alternates for the 4 x 100) head to Eisenhower High School in Yakima May 28-30 for the 2B state meet, where they’ll give chase to snagging some medals.

Three of the Wolves — Cunningham, Houston, and Fitch-Marron — already have one in the bank from last year.

Cunningham and Houston combined with Preston Epp and Chase Anderson to take 6th in the 4 x 100 in 2025, while Fitch-Marron earned 7th in the high jump a season ago.

Sparked by their seven state qualifiers, the Wolf boys finished in a tie with Mount Vernon Christian Saturday for the team title, with both squads totaling 129 points.

While many in the stands would have liked to have seen CHS and MVC go for a tiebreaker (maybe a pushup contest for point #130?), the stalemate goes into the history books as is.

La Conner (98), Orcas Island (87), and Friday Harbor (79) rounded out the boy’s battle.

On the girls’ side of things, a deep MVC team was in control, holding off La Conner 193-149 to claim top honors.

Friday Harbor (91), Coupeville (73), Orcas Island (26), and Summit Atlas (2) were also in contention.
