Tamsin Ward is not messing around.

The Coupeville Middle School 6th grader won three events Thursday in her home track and field debut, giving her five victories across her first two meets.

Ward romped to wins in the 100, shot put, and long jump, setting PR’s in the latter two of those events.

Facing off with South Whidbey and Lakewood, the Wolves won 10 events and set 86 PR’s on a cold, wet “spring” afternoon.

Joining Ward on the victory stand was fellow 6th grader Hyley Farrell, who won the 200 and led off a victorious 4 x 200 relay unit.

That team also included 6th graders Kennedy O’Neill, Elizabeth Marshall, and Sage Stavros.

CMS 7th graders Lillian Ketterling (Discus), Wyatt Fitch-Marron (High Jump), Roger Merino-Martinez (Long Jump), and Nick Laska (Discus) came out on top as well, with Kayla Crane (1600) the lone Wolf 8th grader to win an event.

Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade girls won the team title, joining Lakewood (6th/7th boys) and South Whidbey (8th girls, 8th boys) as front-runners.

Pulling off a successful home meet, especially on a dank day, took the work of many, with high school coaches and athletes helping their middle school counterparts.

CHS alum Jaylen Nitta, who has worked with both the middle and high school teams, stepped in to be the starter, and kept everything moving smoothly.

The young Wolves return to action next Wednesday, May 10, when they host South Whidbey for the final home meet of the season.

Wear it, with pride

“We love free bases!!”

That chant emerges like clockwork from high school softball dugouts when a batter earns a walk.

But when the hitter gets that free pass by taking a wayward pitch off a body part, there’s an added bit of noise from her fellow players.

Wear the pitch, earn the respect.

And she was right.

Taking one for the team.

“Proud mom moment right here!”

“The team did amazing!”

It didn’t take Tamsin Ward long to catch people’s attention.

Competing in her first middle school track meet Wednesday, the Coupeville 6th grader captured wins in both the 100 and shot put.

Besting fields of 38 and 14 athletes, respectively, Ward helped spark the CMS 6th/7th grade girls to a team win as well.

The young Wolves finished with 90 points to host South Whidbey’s 77, while Granite Falls and Northshore Christian Academy brought up the rear.

Coupeville finished 2nd in the boys 6th/7th grade team rumble, led by wins from 7th grader Nick Laska in the shot put and discus.

The Wolf 8th grade girls finished 3rd, while the CMS 8th grade boys were 4th in their battle.

Ward and Laska’s double victories led the way as Coupeville won nine events.

7th graders Marin Winger (400), Lillian Ketterling (discus), Shiloh Sandlin (800), and Roger Merino-Martinez (200) also captured the top rung on the ladder, while a girls 4 x 200 squad made up of 7th graders Niella Bryan, Denali Kalwies, Amelia Crowder, and Lisette Bentabou hit the tape first.

With the first meet of the season in the books, CMS coaches were flying high afterwards.

“The team did amazing!” Amber Wyman said. “There were some tears, scrapes and lots of nerves, but these athletes came to compete!

“I am so proud of all they accomplished.”

That was a feeling shared by Jon Gabelein.

“It was a great first meet with lots of top-notch performances!” he said.

“While some athletes may have been nervous about getting out there on week one, they can now take their first PR and generate improvements throughout the season.”

CMS hosts its next two meets, which are set for May 4 and 10.

No more open jobs.

For the moment, at least.

Coupeville High School/Middle School Athletic Director Willie Smith has filled coaching positions for CHS girls’ soccer and CMS track and field.

Kim Kisch, one of the first booters to play for the Wolf program when it launched in 2004, is coming back around to call the shots as head coach starting next fall.

She replaces Kyle Nelson, who retired at the end of the most-recent season.

Meanwhile, Amber Wyman, already hired to coach middle school cross country, will also pick up coaching duties with the CMS track and field program.

Returning coach Jon Gabelein and Wyman welcome a new squad to the first day of practice Apr. 10, with a six-meet schedule running Apr. 26-May 31.

Before becoming a head coach, Wyman was an assistant helping middle school (now high school) running guru Elizabeth Bitting.

Both hires will be official once approved by the school board.

The games are done, but the photos remain.

Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball put a cap on an eight-game season Thursday, moving to the big gym to square off with visiting South Whidbey.

As the teams battled for hardwood supremacy, wanderin’ photo clicker John Fisken fired up his cameras, and the pics above and below are courtesy him.

To see everything he shot, and ponder the possibility of making some early Christmas purchases for the grandparents down in Grand Rapids, pop over to:
