Gloomy day, bright performances

The results outshone the weather.

Competing on their home oval on a grey mid-May afternoon Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad held up well against always-strong South Whidbey.

Spurred on by eight wins from their 8th graders, the Wolf boys edged the visitors 94-87 in the team battle, while South Whidbey sailed to a 140-54 victory in the girl’s competition.

Overall, 10 CMS athletes finished first in at least one event, with Laurel Crowder (100, 200, High Jump), Jesse Kehoe (100, High Jump, Long Jump), and Les Queen (200, 400, Discus) each winning three times.

Queen, a 7th grader, is now 11-0, the third-most wins in a single season for a Wolf boy.

He trails just Diesel Eck (13 in 2025) and Alex Murdy (12 in 2019), then would be chasing CMS standard bearers Lindsey Roberts (18 in 2015) and Tamsin Ward (16 in 2025).

Kehoe, who has eight wins this spring, and Crowder, who joins River Simpson with seven apiece, are all hot on the heels of Queen for top honors.

For Wolf coach Jon Gabelein, the day was a success, starting with the fact the majority of the liquid sunshine hit the ground prior to the meet.

“Everyone was glad that the rain didn’t last long,” he said. “Today’s meet included some exciting PRs, some errors we wish we wouldn’t have made, and lots of students supporting each other’s strong efforts.

“With just one more meet before prelims and finals, the season is flying by.

“Our ability to continue being intentional with how we use our practices productively without over training will help everyone wrap up the season at the highest level possible.”

That last regular season meet arrives Wednesday, May 20, when the Wolves travel to Langley for a rematch with South Whidbey.

After that comes the Cascade League Championships, set for June 1 and 4 at Lakewood High School.

CMS track stars make bold statement in Sultan

Posted in Middle School, Track, tagged , , , , , on May 7, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Les Queen has won all eight events he’s competed in this spring. (Julie Wheat photos)

New week, new success.

After opening the season at home, the Coupeville Middle School track team traveled to the hinterlands Wednesday, arriving in the wilds of Sultan to face the Turks and Northshore Christian Academy in a three-team royal rumble.

While there, the Wolves piled up wins and PRs, with 18 different athletes enjoying a first-place finish.

Leading the way for the second meet in a row was 7th grader Les Queen, once again claiming top honors in the 200, 400, discus, and 4 x 100 relay.

Two meets into his second season, Queen is more than halfway to the Wolf boys single-season win record of 13, set last year by then-7th grader Diesel Eck.

After that he would be chasing Lindsey Roberts, who won 19 times as an 8th grader in 2015, and Tamsin Ward, who went to the top of the podium 16 times as an 8th grader in 2025.

Hot on Queen’s heels Wednesday was 6th grader Juniper Dotson (1600, 100 Hurdles, 4 x 1) and 7th grader Jesse Kehoe (100, High Jump, Long Jump), both claiming three victories.

Across the board the Wolves, who had four other double event winners in Laurel Crowder, Henry Purdue, River Simpson, and Malachi Chapa impressed their coaches.

“Today’s results showed areas that students have been making strong efforts and those areas where even stronger efforts are needed,” said Jon Gabelein.

“While it was the second meet of the season, several students chose to compete in at least one event that they had never competed in before.

“This requires a great deal of confidence, and I was proud of them for being willing to stretch their comfort zone.”

On the long and winding return trip from Sultan, Gabelein polled some of the members of his crew for their thoughts as well.

“When I asked River Simpson about his favorite part of today’s adventure, his easy answer was the bus ride back as this is when the team stops for food,” the coach said.

“His more thoughtful response was running the 100-meter dash as this is when he gets to run his fastest race.

“Sawyer Rudat’s final answer was the bus ride as it is a great opportunity to enjoy some chill time with his teammates.”

It’ll be a shorter trip next time out, as Coupeville stays home for its next meet.

The Wolves host South Whidbey Wednesday, May 13, with action set to kick off at 3:30 PM at Mickey Clark Field.

Anna Powers leads the pack.
