Axel Marshall doesn’t believe in taking time off.

The young Coupeville Middle School track and field star took part in all nine events Thursday as the Wolves held the third of four intramural meets.

“All athletes showed much improvement and are always impressing us coaches, (but) shout out to Axel!,” said CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“This amazing athlete participated in EVERY event today! All field events, all running events and even the relay medley! He is truly the champion of the day!!!”

Bitting also offered kudos to Carson Field and Thomas Strelow, who “jumped in at the last minute to run the 400 with Axel, foregoing their own times.”

“They didn’t want him being the only participant in that race,” she said. “Such great support for their teammates!”

With the pandemic, CMS is foregoing competing against other rivals this school year, opting to keep athletics in house.

The Wolves wrap things up next Thursday, June 10, when they will honor the top three finishers in each event from this season.

Everybody worked together.

Mother Nature calmed down, bringing the wind under control, the local deer came out to watch the festivities, and Coupeville Middle School successfully pulled off another track meet Thursday afternoon.

With the pandemic still mucking things up, CMS isn’t competing against other rivals this school year, instead focusing on intra-team meets.

The action was fast-paced, the PR’s many, and the joy shown by CMS coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Jon Gabelein abundant.
