One more event, one more big-time stage.

A day after the state track and field championships wrapped up, two Coupeville High School athletes took part in the Washington State Hammer Championships.

Held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, the event is a bit of a wild card, as the hammer throw is not part of the festivities hosted by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

That didn’t deter Wolf senior Katie Marti or freshman Khanor Jump, who were in the thick of things, chucking the implement into the sunny skies.

Marti, coming off a 7th place performance in the shot put at the WIAA shindig, earned 9th Sunday, flinging her hammer 95 feet, eight inches.

Jump, following in the footsteps of older sister Taygin, now a college hammer chucker at Plattsburgh State in New York, was 22nd in the men’s competition with a heave of 95-07.

Kimberly Beard of King’s and Robert Akers of Hermiston claimed the titles.

Overall, 44 high school athletes competed in the event.

Taygin Jump ended the regular season with a bang.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore track and field star at Plattsburgh State, competed in three events Friday at the SLU Twilight Invite in Canton, New York, handily winning both the hammer throw and javelin toss.

Jump chucked her hammer 125 feet, five inches, finishing 21 feet, 11 inches ahead of the second-place finisher.

The former Wolf ace also claimed the title in the javelin with a heave of 95-09, this time placing exactly 22 feet ahead of her nearest rival.

The one event Jump didn’t win Friday was the discus, but she set a PR anyway, claiming fourth place (out of 11 competitors) with a throw of 82-09.

Aleksia and Khanor’s older sister, who is majoring in Environmental Planning & Management/Geology, tallied 26 points for the Cardinals, who finished second in the team standings.

Up next is the State University of New York Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships May 2-3 in Cortland, New York.

There’s a few more stops left on the journey.

While the state track and field championships wrapped up Saturday in Yakima, three Coupeville throwers headed to Olympia Sunday for the Washington State High School Hammer Championships.

The event, which is not sanctioned by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, drew 52 chuckers to the Evergreen State College.

Wolf junior Katie Marti finished 18th in the girls’ competition, nailing a PR of 80 feet, 11 inches, while senior Erica McGrath was 21st at 63-11.

On the boys’ side, junior Mason Butler claimed 23rd, launching a throw of 78-06, almost five feet better than his previous PR.

Kimberly Beard of King’s and Dylan Gilliland of Tumwater took home top honors.

And there’s still one more track event ahead on the schedule, as Coupeville junior Lyla Stuurmans is slated to compete in the heptathlon May 31-June 1 at the Washington State Combined Events Championship.

That all-star showdown goes down at Lake Stevens High School.

Season two is in the books, and it was a success.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin, now a sophomore at Central Washington University, capped his campaign Saturday with an explosive performance at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships in Ellensburg.

The former Wolf claimed sixth place in the hammer throw, out of a field of 16 competitors, earning three points for the Wildcats.

Martin’s best throw on the day went 161 feet, seven inches.

That followed on the heels of another sixth-place finish in the discus Friday, as he scored in both of his events.

Central’s men finished second to Western Washington University in the team standings.

While competition is over until the arrival of indoor track in the fall, Martin will continue to work in the offseason as he chases the big numbers.

It was the little rumble before the big battle.

Three Coupeville High School track and field athletes traveled to Snohomish High School Friday to take part in the hammer throw at the Sunny and 70! Invitational.

The remainder of the meet, which has 30 teams signed up, goes down Saturday at Lakewood High School.

Friday it was just about tossin’ the hammer, and CHS had juniors Katie Marti and Mason Butler and senior Erica McGrath in the field.

Marti finished 9th with a throw of 75 feet, three inches, while McGrath was 11th with a chuck of 59-10.

Butler placed 16th among the male competitors at 67-08.

Sophomore Kimberly Beard of King’s and senior Calvin Gutierrez of Mariner won individual titles.
