Shoes optional, heart mandatory

It was a wild day.

Competing along with 40+ other schools at the Carl Westling Invitational Saturday in Langley, the Coupeville High School cross country team made some memories.

From George Spear becoming the first Wolf in recent memory to make it to the awards podium at the prestigious meet to Cyrus Sparacio completing the race minus a shoe, the trip down-Island was a memorable one.

Overall, CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting sent 17 runners to the line against prime competition.

Cyrus Sparacio cools down his tootsies after running most of a 3-mile race without a shoe.

Those harriers in action covered 5,000 meters across “a varied surface including forest trail, grass, gravel, and track surface.”

And Sparacio, a speedy freshman, covered most of that distance with a shoe on one foot, and just a sock on the other.

He lost his foot covering within the first half mile, but never slowed down.

“He tried quickly tying it, kept running, did not do a good job and it flew off but he kept on going,” Bitting said with a laugh. “He ran a decent time on top of it!!”

Coupeville’s runners (and their shoes, hopefully) will get back at it this coming Wednesday, Sept. 24, when they travel to Orcas Island for a Northwest 2B/1B League meet.

Coupeville’s girls move out as a pack.

New challenges, big performances

The first road trip was a huge success.

After competing at home in its opener, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team hit the road Wednesday, traveling to Sultan for a three-team meet.

While there, the Wolves collected 19 wins and about a million PRs, while the 8th grade girls and 6th/7th grade boys claimed team titles.

For the 8th grade girls, it was a show of complete dominance, as those Wolves won all six events they competed in.

Tamsin Ward paced CMS with three individual wins, claiming crowns in the 100, shot put, and high jump.

That gives her six victories through the first two meets of the season, and 29 for her middle school career.

Tamsin Ward sails to victory.

Also winning multiple individual titles were Ward’s fellow 8th grader, Cyrus Sparacio (800, 1600), and 7th grade thrower Diesel Eck (shot put, discus).

Whether they won or not, everyone in a Wolf uniform excelled Wednesday, said their coaches.

“Great meet today – Coupeville athletes brought their A-game,” said Brooke Crowder.

“Athletes are challenging themselves, trying new events and pushing themselves to set new personal bests.”

Jon Gabelein agreed, pointing to the fact “their stronger efforts during practice are getting good results.”

Gabelein noted the performance of Wolves such as 7th grader Zariyah Allen, who “has been working especially hard.”

She won the discus, narrowly missing 80 feet in competition after breaking that mark in her warmups.

“Launching it that far during just the second meet brought lots of positive comments from her competitors,” Gabelein said. “I look forward to helping our students continue to improve.”

Transporting a large group of young athletes across the backroads of America is also an experience.

“Traveling as a team of 60 middle school students provides all of us with a whole other dimension to our track season,” Gabelein said. “Especially when it involves a visit to McDonalds without their parents.”

The Wolves help set up the hurdles.
