The next generation of track stars have taken over the oval.

With their first meet in the books, Coupeville Middle School athletes can now prepare for their home debut, which arrives Wednesday, May 1.

The Wolves host Langley and King’s that day, with the first event kicking off at 3:15 PM.

As you wait for that, take a gander at photos shot by Wolf mom Morgan White, capturing the first races and jumps of a new season.

Ben Smith waits for his moment to shine.

The weather in Port Angeles was a constantly changing affair.

A new season begins.

Packing 20 or so athletes onto the bus, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad headed to Port Angeles Wednesday, where it clashed in a three-team meet.

While there, the Wolves faced one team (Forks) comparable in size and one (host Stevens) which had 140+ athletes.

And yes, that is supposed to say 140 and not just 40…

While the Wolves had no shot at bringing home team titles in those kind of conditions, they did battle for individual glory, with Jake Mitten (High Jump) and Ja’Kenya Hoskins (60-yard dash) winning their events.

“We had some standout performances,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting. “We were able to get some places.

“We had rain, wind, sun, a little bit of it all.”

Now, as you gaze upon the following results, give me a little leeway, since A) I’m going off of handwritten results and a couple of numbers were tricky to decipher and B) not a single bit of this is appearing in the Whidbey News-Times.

So, here we go, and let’s see how close I got to reality.

And so it begins.

A brand new middle school track season officially kicked off Wednesday, as Coupeville hopped over to Port Townsend for a three-team meet.

Bringing 42 athletes, the Wolves outnumbered their hosts from Blue Heron Middle School, who had 26, but fell way short of Stevens.

A large school that funnels students to 2A high school Port Angeles, Stevens had a whopping 119 athletes on site.

Even so, Coupeville dominated the day.

“We undoubtedly won the meet,” said CMS coach Bob Martin. “Our athletes swept many of the events; they’ve put in the work and it showed!”

With so many athletes involved, Martin and co-coach Elizabeth Bitting did extraordinary work keeping track of Coupeville’s stats.

Keep in mind, it’s the first meet, everything was topsy-turvy and a good chunk of these athletes are new to Coupeville Sports and try not to go bonkers if I flip some numbers or names here.
