The road trip was worth it.

Playing as the home team in someone else’s stadium Saturday, the Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League Seniors gridiron squad claimed a title, beating Arlington 28-20.

The victory caps a perfect 10-0 season for the Wildcats.

With no youth football program offered in Coupeville, three Wolves wore the purple and gold this season.

Island unity has carried them to the cusp of a gridiron title.

The Oak Harbor Football and Cheer League Seniors football squad, which features three Coupeville Middle School students, is a perfect 9-0 after destroying Bellingham 36-20 Saturday in a semifinals clash.

Now, the Wildcats (and their Wolf stars) head to Arlington next Saturday, Nov. 8 to play that town’s team in the championship game.

Despite traveling, Oak Harbor will be considered the home team in a game set to go down starting at 5:00 PM at Arlington High School.

Since Coupeville doesn’t have youth football programs, interested Wolves end up joining the North enders to begin their careers, before putting on the red and black once they hit high school.

They doubled up on day two.

Putting an emphatic stamp on the season Thursday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team picked up three more titles at the Cascade League Championships.

Competing at Lakewood, the Wolves claimed wins in the shot put (Collin Mirabile and Diesel Eck) and high jump (Malachi Chapa).

That comes on the heels of three titles Monday in the opener of the two-day finale, when Tamsin Ward (shot put, high jump) and Les Queen (discus) reigned supreme.

With his victory, Eck, a CMS 7th grader, reaches 13 wins on the season — the most for a Wolf middle school boy in one go-round.

At least according to athletic.net, which goes back to 2008 with its middle school results.

Tamsin Ward exchanges well wishes with a rival.

Ward, who had two top-three performances in sprint races Thursday, finished her final CMS campaign with 16 wins, second-best all-time behind Lindsey Roberts 19-win season as an 8th grader in 2015.

With 39 wins across three seasons, Ward departs the middle school scene with the CMS career record.

While Monday’s meet featured a mix of prelims and finals, Thursday was all finals, with the Wolves holding up well.

Competing under the brightest spotlight, CMS athletes racked up 21 PRs on the final day of the season.

“An amazing fact about track and field is that PRs become increasingly more challenging to earn each time you get one,” said Coupeville coach Jon Gabelein.

“Despite this logic, several of our athletes were able to overcome that challenge today.”

Coupeville’s 6th/7th grade boys finished second in the team standings behind Lakewood, while both CMS girls’ teams claimed 4th.

The Wolf 8th grade boys were 5th in a seven-team field.

South Whidbey swept team titles in both girls’ competitions, with King’s coming out on top among 8th grade boys’ squads.

Wolf coaches preached growth and improvement, something their young athletes demonstrated all season.

“We hope that our athletes found this year’s track season to be a rewarding adventure,” Gabelein said.

“The hard work they put in has made them stronger and faster than they were when they started. I encourage them to stay active throughout their summer.

“They really came together as a team and supported one another.

“I enjoyed helping them stay on the path towards continued improvement and realize that even the not-so-great results can be steps towards further growth.”

“I can’t believe this was the last regular season meet. It feels like we just started this adventure!”

Coupeville Middle School track and field coach Jon Gabelein may be feeling like spring is flying by, but his Wolves continue to take advantage of their time in the spotlight.

Competing Wednesday at a three-team meet in Langley, CMS capped the regular season with 16 wins, a zillion PRs, and some history.

Squaring off with King’s and host South Whidbey, the Wolves won the boys 6th/7th grade team title, while earning second in the other three team tussles.

The history came courtesy 8th grader Tamsin Ward and 7th grader Diesel Eck.

Eck picked up three wins Wednesday, capturing shot put and discus titles while also running a leg on a triumphant relay squad.

That gives him 12 victories on the season, tying him with then-8th grader Alex Murdy (2019) for the most by a CMS boy in the modern era.

Ward went one better in Langley, sweeping to wins in the 100, 200, shot put, and high jump, which puts her at 14-0 heading into the Cascade League Championships June 2.

That’s second-best in CMS track history, trailing just Lindsey Roberts, who won 19 times as an 8th grader in 2015.

Ward has 37 wins across the past three seasons, most career victories by a Coupeville Middle School student.

One of Coupeville’s relay teams heads into action.

Across the board, Coupeville athletes seized the opportunity to shine Wednesday, with many of them picking up new events as the season winds down.

“Embracing that new event PR rush!” said CMS coach Kelly Powers.

“You never know what event will resonate with you until you try it in competition and even though one Wolf remarked ‘I’ll never do THAT again!’ it’s great they’re trying things on to see what fits!

“And who knows, sometimes we come back to what challenges us … at least I hope so!

“It was great to see so many smiles and athletes that don’t take themselves so seriously they can’t have some fun!”

Middle school track and field season is upon us. (Leslie Stoner photos)

Tamsin Ward is back, and so are the wins.

The Coupeville 8th grader kicked off her third, and final, season of middle school track and field Wednesday by doing exactly what she’s done for two years running.

Whomp on people.

Ward, who earned 23 wins across her first two CMS seasons, captured wins in the 100, shot put, and high jump while competing against Northshore Christian Academy and Sultan in her home stadium.

And she wasn’t the only Wolf to have an excellent day, with Diesel Eck and Elizabeth Marshall also claiming parts of three victories.

The former won the shot put and discus while running a leg on a 4 x 100 relay team, while the latter claimed top honors in the 100 hurdles and long jump, then pulled duty on a triumphant 4 x 200 squad.

River Simpson and Cyrus Sparacio were two-time winners, with Coupeville holding its own in the team standings as well.

The Wolf 8th grade girls and boy’s 6th/7th squad captured team titles.

“Our first meet of the season was a great adventure!” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“While some students were more nervous than others about stepping into their first meet of the season, they all showed up ready to work hard and show good sportsmanship at the same time!

“Now that they have their baseline numbers, their continued practice and pushing themselves even more will allow them to generate even stronger results during the coming weeks!”

Ready to rumble.
