Clear skies, but it’s raining PR’s

Posted in Track, tagged , , , , on March 23, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Ryanne Knoblich and Josh Guay competed in a track meet Wednesday and claimed Student of the Quarter awards from the Coupeville Lions Club.

Everything hummed along beautifully.

Coupeville High School hosted its first home track and field meet of the season Wednesday, the weather was sunny, and the Wolves dominated on the stat sheet.

By the time the final event was done, and the other six schools had departed, CHS had locked down a win in the boys’ team standings, and second place in the girls’ competition.

The Wolf boys destroyed all rivals, piling up 219 points, while runner-ups Mount Vernon Christian and Friday Harbor sat well behind with 108 and 94.5 points, respectively.

Coupeville’s female competitors went toe-to-toe with MVC, with the Hurricanes edging the Wolves 223-184. No one else was within 100 points of the top two.

Orcas Island, La Conner, Grace Academy, and Lopez Island rounded out the field, joining Coupeville, MVC, and Friday Harbor in the royal rumble.

When it came to individual athletes, the Wolves earned 11 wins and 90 PR’s.

Aidan Wilson (400, triple jump) was a two-time winner, while also joining Hank Milnes, Mitchell Hall, and Nick Guay on the fastest 4 x 400 relay squad.

Lyla Stuurmans (400), Claire Mayne (100 hurdles), Carolyn Lhamon (shot put), Katie Marti (javelin), Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Zac Tackett (discus), Hall (1600), and Guay (high jump) also captured titles.

Coupeville returns to action this Saturday, when its younger stars compete in the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

Volunteers make the world run.

Especially those who opt to help out for home track and field meets, where every person counts.

Coupeville hosts four meets this spring, including the high school district championships, and is in need of volunteers to keep things running smoothly.

No prior track and field experience is required, just a willingness to help.

“Our coaches will put you in positions where you feel comfortable and can explain how everything works,” said Coupeville High School/Middle School Athletic Director Willie Smith.

“Plus, our coaches absolutely guarantee great weather for all of the meets,” he added with a mischievous smile. “So that should not even be a concern of yours when considering.”

Volunteers need to be at meets, which are held at the stadium behind Coupeville Elementary, at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the event.

 

Coupeville’s home meets:

Wednesday, Mar. 22 — high school league meet — 4-6 teams — 3:30 PM
Wednesday, Apr. 26 — middle school league meet — 4 teams — 3:30 PM
Wednesday, May 10 — middle school league meet — 2 teams — 3:30 PM
Saturday, May 13 — high school district meet — multiple teams — 11:00 AM

 

To volunteer, contact a coach:

Bob Martin — bmartin@coupeville.k12.wa.us
Elizabeth Bitting — ebitting@coupeville.k12.wa.us
Doug McVey — dmcvey@coupeville.k12.wa.us

Young Wolves sizzle on home track

They are (young) women, hear them roar.

Wednesday’s home Coupeville Middle School track and field meet was dominated by the Wolf girls, as they teamed up for seven wins.

Led by Laken Simpson, who doubled her fun by landing on top of the podium in the 100 and 200, the CMS 6th/7th grade girls accounted for six of those victories, which carried them to a team win as well.

The youngest Wolves derailed traditional power Langley 76-57, with the Cougars bouncing back to win team titles for 8th grade girls, 6th/7th boys, and 8th boys.

Northshore Christian Academy and Granite Falls rounded out the competitors, joining the Whidbey rivals in the regular season finale.

Coupeville closes the year with the Cascade League Championships, which are May 26 (prelims) and June 1 (finals) at Lakewood.

Competing on their home turf Wednesday, the Wolves got wins from 8th graders Carly Burt (long jump), George Spear (800), and Malachi Somes (1600).

Sixth-graders Simpson (100, 200), Marin Winger (400), Lillian Ketterling (800), and Mikayla Wagner (1600) also triumphed, with a 4 x 100 relay team hitting the line first.

That squad was comprised of Winger and 7th graders Ava Carpenter, Myra McDonald, and Tirsit Cannon.

In addition to the victories, the Wolves showed improvement across the board, combining to net a whopping 83 PR’s on the day — 43 for the boys, 40 for the girls.

Sun, fun, and a fast run

The sun came out, and so did the PR’s.

Competing under summer-like conditions Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad arrived in full force for its final home meet of the season.

The Wolves still have two more road rumbles on the schedule, then the league meet, but the roster will take a hit on competition days, as 6th graders are allowed to compete only in home meets this season.

So it was especially nice that Wednesday’s three-team event, which brought Lakewood and Sultan to town, played out under blue skies, blazing sun, and not a whisper of wind.

“It almost felt like summer,” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein. “Sunglasses, bucket hats, and shorts were out in force.

“The only thing that was probably lacking was the sunscreen.”

His fellow coach, Elizabeth Bitting, agreed.

“It WAS a beautiful day for some great running, throwing, and jumping!” she said.

“These athletes keep amazing us every week! Could not be any prouder of them … that is until next week, when they shine once more!!”

While numerous Wolves hit PR’s in front of the home fans, there were a couple who captured an especially big share of the spotlight.

Coupeville 8th grader Ryanne Knoblich smashed her PR in the high jump by an astonishing six inches, then rode the wave of excitement through the long jump, where she also shattered her previous best mark.

“Ryanne credited her amazing jump in elevation to approaching from the left instead of the right for the first time,” Gabelein said.

Not surprisingly, Knoblich won both of those events, while adding another victory in the 4 x 200 relay, where she teamed with Claire Mayne, Carolyn Lhamon, and Katie Buskala.

Lhamon switched up events in an effort to take mercy on some shin splints she’s been battling, avoiding her normal distances races while winning the 800 and making her debut in the shot put.

New events or not, she brought her usual blistering intensity to everything she did.

“This focus was clear,” Gabelein said. “During her two trips around the track it was as if she was trying to cram four laps of effort and determination into just the two laps allowed within (the 800).”

On the boys side, Alex Murdy equaled Knoblich’s work, winning both the high jump and long jump, while running a leg on a winning relay team.

This time, it was the 4 x 100, where Dominic Coffman, Joven Light and Reiley Aracely joined in the fun.

While the Wolf athletes were hitting career-best times, an invaluable part of making the day a success came from volunteers, who stepped up to help Gabelein and fellow CMS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

On a day when high school track and field athletes were unavailable, thanks to preparing for Thursday’s district meet, the call went out and was answered.

“We want to send a huge “thank you” to all of the Coupeville School District staff and parents who stepped up to manage each of the field events,” Gabelein said.

“The logistics of hosting a track meet requires nearly 20 volunteers and their time and energy out there made it a successful meet for everyone to enjoy!”
