Meet #2 went off with a bang.

Competing against Northshore Christian Academy and host Granite Falls Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team delivered a stellar performance.

By the time they were done, the young Wolves had racked up 23 wins and 93 PRs.

Leading the way was Hyley Farrell, Coupeville’s only three-time winner on the day.

The 7th grader claimed titles in the 200 and long jump, while also running a leg on a winning 4 x 200 relay unit.

Tamsin Ward (100, Shot Put) and River Simpson (200, Long Jump) joined Farrell in winning two individual events.

Coupeville gets back at it next Wednesday, May 8, when it hosts a meet against South Whidbey.

CMS track stars shine on opening day

Tamsin Ward is right back at it.

A year after winning 11 events during her debut middle school track and field season, the now 7th grader got off to a strong start Wednesday, claiming three more titles during the season opener.

Overall, Coupeville earned 20 wins (and approximately 1,002 PRs) as it faced off with visiting Lakewood.

Ward, whose 11 wins were the most for a CMS girl since Lindsey Roberts won 18 during her 8th grade season in 2015, came out on top in the 100, shot put, and high jump on an overcast prairie afternoon.

She was joined as a three-time winner by 6th grader River Simpson, who came out of the gate strongly with victories in the 100, 4 x 100 relay, and long jump.

Coupeville’s 7th grade girls crew appears deep and talented, as Hyley Farrell (4 x 1 and 4 x 2) and Elizabeth Marshall (100 Hurdles, 4 x 2) also won multiple titles.

CMS coaches Amber Wyman and Jon Gabelein have an astonishing 77 athletes out for track, as Cow Town’s numbers are booming.

“Our first track meet of the year was definitely a big adventure,” Gabelein said.

“Our athletes set great personal baseline marks that they can now begin to work hard to improve throughout the season. All of the positive attitudes and good sportsmanship made a big difference.

The Wolves return to competition next Wednesday, May 1, when they travel to Granite Falls.

Softball sensation honored for writing skills

Adeline Maynes, softball sensation and award-winning essayist. (Jackie Saia photo)

On the softball diamond or in the classroom, Adeline Maynes is killin’ it.

The Coupeville Middle School 8th grader, coming off a 12-strikeout pitching performance against Granite Falls, will be honored at Thursday’s school board meeting for being a local and regional Fleet Reserve essay contest winner.

Now, thanks to mom Lara, Coupeville Sports is exclusively presenting that award-winning essay, “What Memorial Day Means to Me.”

Memorial Day means a great deal to me.

It means honoring the sacrifice and courage of those who have lost their lives in military service to our country.

When I think of Memorial Day, the image of my father comes to mind. What if he was the one who we were honoring?

What if one day, the United States Navy informed my family that he had been killed? How would this make me feel?

Memorial Day brings a lot of important questions to mind.

I feel I can understand the meaning of Memorial Day better than most.

Just thinking about how sad I am when my dad deploys for six months at a time, and then magnifying that feeling if he were never to come home. For military kids, this is a realistic worry.

We never know when something unexpected might happen.

For example, my dad was on an aircraft carrier when the previous Commanding Officer was removed. As the Executive Officer, he had to take charge and do both jobs.

It is incredibly daunting to think that Memorial Day could come around and my family would be the ones honoring a family member lost in service.

These experiences as a military kid make me feel that I can understand what Memorial Day means in a significant way.

All of these reasons make me think about how incredibly grateful I feel to have a dad who serves in the United States Navy and is still with us, when some families do not have that privilege.

All of my experiences have led me to believe that what Memorial Day means to me is honoring the sacrifice and courage of those who have fallen in military service to our country.

There’s a new award-winning rider on the horizon.

Coupeville Middle School 7th grader Christopher Zenz has come to our attention, after he and his faithful steed, Joel Miller, placed second in their class at a school show held Sunday at the Whidbey Equestrian School.

Zenz, who is taught by Rhed Locke of Big Rhed Barn, competed in Western Dressage.

The show drew multiple riders across 13 levels.

PS — Want to see your Coupeville child featured on the only sports-related blog operating on Whidbey Island for the past 12+ years?

But what if my child lives in Oak Harbor or on the South end of the Island, you ask? Consider moving to Coupeville.

Coupeville AD Willie Smith retiring

Posted in Everything changes, tagged Athletic Director, CHS Wolves, CMS Wolves, retirement, Willie Smith on March 22, 2024| 1 Comment »

Willie Smith, best dressed athletic director in the state? (Photo by JohnsPhotos.net)

One more year in the gym, but with a lot less stress.

Willie Smith, the last of a “trinity” of longtime Coupeville High School/Middle School coaches/teachers/admins, is moving towards joining former compatriots Ron Bagby and Randy King on the sidelines.

He plans to teach one more year of PE but will step down as Athletic Director at the end of this school year.

That will put a cap on Smith’s second run as Coupeville’s AD, which began in 2016. He previously held the position from 2005-2010.

After arriving from Sequim in 1994, Smith has been actively involved in Wolf athletics at every level for the past three decades.

As a coach, he led the girls’ varsity basketball program from 1994-2000, advancing to state twice and earning the school’s first-ever big dance win for a girls’ team in any sport.

Smith also was a CHS football assistant coach from 1995-2011, ran the middle school program for three years, and put in 19 years at the helm of the Wolf varsity baseball team.

During his AD stints, he set a high standard for his coaches and programs, with both high school and middle school teams collecting a wide range of awards, trophies, honors, and praise from rivals.

He has led CHS through life in both the 1A and 2B classifications, guided transitions through numerous leagues, and was a resolute leader during the pandemic.

Currently the Northwest 2B/1B League president, Smith is known and respected throughout the state.

Last year, right after CHS sports teams earned three academic state titles, on the heels of football and baseball advancing to state for the first time in decades, the AD position was put in jeopardy.

A list of proposed budget cuts included taking Smith’s admin duties away and giving them to an already overworked assistant principal.

The uproar was deafening.

In a very short time, school district officials were hammered from all sides, with numerous AD’s, coaches, fans, parents, and athletes – former and current – speaking out on his behalf.

The proposed cut was removed long before the final budget was approved by school board members.

Without skipping a beat, Smith continued to merrily chug along, doing what he has always done for three decades plus — put his athletes, coaches, and students first.

The Wazzu super fan has never been about the glitz and glamour or tooting his own horn.

Few realize how much time and effort he has put in, or how complicated the AD job is, especially in the modern world where cell phones make sure you can always be reached.

Taking a real vacation, or simply spending time with wife Cherie, is hard, as everyone with a question — including yours truly — is always looking for his calm answer.

There’s a rumor he once sat on a tree stump during a hunting trip, watching elk wander by and stick their tongues out at him, while he talked everyone through a football-related meltdown back at home.

Which goes a long way to explaining why now is the time for Smith to step aside and let a new generation live and die by the email tsunami.
