They had home field advantage and they claimed it.

Competing on their own oval Saturday, the Coupeville High School track and field squad dominated six other schools, sweeping to lopsided wins in the Cow Town Classic Invite.

The Wolf boys stormed to a massive win, piling up 235 points while runner-up Clallam Bay collected 85.

Lopez Island (58), Chief Leschi (48), Neah Bay (41), Forks (36), and Concrete (25) rounded out the competitors.

On the girls’ side of things, CHS finished with 196 points, with Forks (85), Lopez (84), and Neah Bay (84) bunched up in a second-place battle.

Clallam Bay (21), Chief Leschi (8), and Concrete (6) brought up the rear.

On the day Coupeville snagged 14 wins and 33 PRs, with Cyrus Sparacio (800, 1600, 3200), Kennedy O’Neill (100 and 300 Hurdles), Arianna Cunningham (Javelin, 4 x 100 Relay), and Wyatt Fitch-Marron (4 x 1, 4 x 4) winning multiple events.

Sparacio, just a freshman, hit PRs in all three of his events, as well.

While Fitch-Marron finished second in the high jump, the sophomore smashed his PR by four inches, elevating six feet, two inches.

That puts him just two inches away from the school record of 6-4, jointly held by the non-related Rich Wilson and Cael Wilson.

While the times were fast and the wins many, making the day a total success were the volunteers, who poured into Coupeville’s stadium ready and rarin’ to go on a sunny Saturday.

“A great big shout out to all our volunteers!” said CHS coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin. “Not one spot was empty!

“From the elementary school principal (Erica McColl) to Melissa and Brett Casey, to the many parents, family members, even a King (Randy) was present.

“EVERY position was filled. This helped with the meet running so smoothly.”

Fresh off their home success, Coupeville returns to action next Saturday, May 2, when it travels to Sammamish High School for the 22-team BCS Invitational, the final regular-season meet.

After that comes the league meet, districts, and, hopefully, the state championships.

Track stars stay home, pile up PRs

No bus and ferry for them.

Competing at home for the first time this spring, the Coupeville High School track and field team picked up four wins and 37 PRs Wednesday during an 11-team rumble at Mickey Clark Field.

On a partially sunny prairie afternoon, the Wolves got victories from Tamsin Ward (shot put), Cyrus Sparacio (1600), Davin Houston (high jump), and George Spear (3200).

It was the fourth win this season for both Ward and Sparacio, as the fab frosh continue to lead the way for CHS.

Meanwhile, wily vets Spear and Houston each collected their first victories of the spring, with the latter setting a PR in his event.

Overall, the La Conner boys and Mount Vernon Christian girls claimed team titles, with Coupeville finishing third and fourth, respectively.

Wednesday’s meet was the first in two weeks for the Wolves, who last saw competition back on April 1 in Mount Vernon.

Now that it’s back in action, Coupeville will stay busy, heading to North Kitsap Saturday for the 23-team Dave Snyder’s Lil’ Norway Meet.

That’s a detour, as CHS was originally slated to compete in the Forks Lion Club Invitational but will instead vie with a deep field including schools such as Auburn, Bethel, Port Angeles, and Klahowya.

Grey day, gold performance

Every point counts.

Pulling out one of the closest wins of the spring, the Coupeville Middle School boys’ track and field team edged visiting South Whidbey 95-94 Wednesday afternoon.

Competing under cloudy prairie skies, the Wolves nabbed the victory thanks to their 6th and 7th graders, who came out on top 57-38.

That made up for the CMS 8th grade boys being on the short end of a 56-38 count.

Meanwhile, the South Whidbey girls were just a little too much for Coupeville, holding on for a 97-80 win.

The Wolf 6th/7th graders came super close in a 48-46 bout, while the CMS 8th graders fell 49-34.

That was despite Coupeville 8th grade ace Tamsin Ward making it a perfect 10-for-10 this spring, sweeping to first place finishes in the 100, 200, shot put, and high jump.

Tamsin Ward soars to new heights.

Following on the heels of 11 wins as a 6th grader, and 12 as a 7th grader, she sits with 33 career wins and counting at the middle school level.

Ward’s performance last spring tied her with future state champion Alex Murdy, who also netted 12 wins as an 8th grader in 2019.

Lindsey Roberts, who went on to win eight state meet medals as a high schooler, holds the CMS single season record with 19 wins as an 8th grader in 2015.

Seven different Wolves won two or more events Wednesday, with Brian Thompson (100, 400, Long Jump) and Diesel Eck (Shot Put, Discus, 4 x 100 Relay) hot on Ward’s heels.

Annaliese Powers (1600, 100 Hurdles), River Simpson (800, 4 x 100), Kennedy O’Neill (100 Hurdles, 4 x 200), and Malachi Chapa (High Jump, 4 x 100) were also multiple winners.

Wolf warblers (l to r) Brinnley Meek, Halle Black, Josilyn McColl, Audrey Wagner, and Avery Parker brought a musical touch to Wednesday’s meet.

Across the board, the young Wolves embraced the opportunity to compete in front of their hometown fans at a meet which kicked off with the national anthem performed by elementary school students.

“Several of our athletes talked about how they enjoyed today’s meet more than the first two so far this season,” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“While the other meets were fun adventures, many of them noticed how their improvements and confidence were now becoming stronger due to their hard work at practice.”

And it was more than just the wins, as the Wolves racked up a string of PRs in virtually event, such as the 1600.

In that event, Cyrus Sparacio crashed through the five-minute barrier for the first time in the boys’ race, while Arianna Vinson shaved an astonishing minute-plus off her best time when the girls claimed the oval.

Coupeville gets back at it next Wednesday, May 21, when it travels down to Langley for a rematch with South Whidbey.

Private school foe King’s will trek to The Rock to make it a three-team rumble.

Kennedy O’Neill flies to a win in the hurdles.

It was a classic beatdown.

Winning 12 of 18 events Saturday at the Coupeville Classic Invite, the Wolf boys track and field team destroyed its competition.

When all the points were added up at the regular season finale, CHS male athletes had racked up a score of 190.5.

Or more than the other four teams combined.

Put the scores of Mount Vernon Christian (50.5), East Jefferson (45.5), Clallam Bay (39), and Neah Bay (21.5) together, and they equal 156.5 points.

Sweet sassy molassy.

On the girls’ side of things, everything was a wee bit closer, with MVC (120) taking the team title, followed by Coupeville (93), East Jefferson (88), Neah Bay (62), and Clallam Bay (16).

Top performers included Katie Marti, who claimed three individual titles, winning the shot put, discus, and hammer throw.

Combine relay team wins with individual victories, and Chase Anderson (4), Preston Epp (3), and Cael Wilson (3) topped the Wolf boys.

All in all, it made for “a fast and furious day on the prairie” according to CHS coach Bob Martin.

“Tons of PRs, great team energy, and another strong showing by our volunteers and parents,” he said. “Hard work is paying off!”

Up next for the Wolves is the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships, set to go down May 7 in La Conner.

After that, for those who advance, will be districts and the state championships.

Sunny skies, sizzlin’ performances

It was a day for winners.

Hosting its first home meet of the season Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team went wild in the sun, racking up 12 wins, 62 PRs, and a ton of positive memories.

Toss in a team title for the Wolf boys, and the fact that an athlete accidentally left behind by Orcas Island eventually got retrieved, and things were fairly peachy all around.

“Thanks to our all-star crew, it ran smoother than a sprinter on a tailwind,” said CHS coach Bob Martin.

“Christi Messner, Jen Marzocca, Aimee Bishop, and Barbi Ford worked their magic on the timing system, Jerry Helm fired the gun like a pro, and Neil Rixe caught every finish with eagle-eyed precision.

“Huge thanks to the incredible coaches who jumped in to help run events, so every athlete had a chance to shine.

“And let’s not forget our legendary team parents — fueling the crew with hot chili, soup, and enough snacks to power a relay team. It truly takes a village to run a meet, and Coupeville showed up in style.”

The Wolf boys topped the 13-team field with a 219-point explosion, putting them way ahead of runner-up La Conner (103), while the Wolf girls (98) were third, behind Mount Vernon Christian (185) and La Conner (111.5).

Axel Marshall (left) and Cael Wilson discuss strategy.

Cael Wilson led the way, picking up three individual wins (high jump, pole vault, long jump), while also running a leg on a triumphant 4 x 400 relay squad.

Carson Field (800, 1600, 3200), Katie Marti (discus, javelin), Lyla Stuurmans (800), and Matthew Ward (triple jump) also came out on top, as did the boys 4 x 100 unit.

The Wolves get back at it this Saturday, but with a change in their game plan.

Originally slated to travel to Cashmere, they are instead trekking off to the Forks Lion Club Invitational.
