Success is in their DNA.

An astonishing 17 of the 20 Coupeville Middle School track and field athletes who competed Tuesday set at least one PR.

Part of the success might have stemmed from the Wolves being able to run and throw at a facility they are well acquainted with, cause it’s their own.

The lone home meet of the CMS season, it featured Coupeville facing off with Chimacum and Blue Heron (Port Townsend) and was held under rare sunny skies.

While all of the Wolves had strong days, Bella Velasco and Ja’Kenya Hoskins led the way, both nabbing PRs in all four of their events.

Coupeville has one regular season meet left on the schedule — a trip to Sequim May 16 — then wraps the year with the league championships at Forks May 24.

Led by double-event winner Danny Conlisk, the CHS boys finished first in the five-team meet, while the Wolf girls were a close second to traditional power Mount Vernon Christian.

On the guys side things played out to the following tune:

Meanwhile, on the girls side:

Mt. Vernon Christian 112.75

Get the gang back together!!

The Wolves won every event.

Of course, that’s bound to happen when no other schools are in attendance, but that was of minor importance Saturday afternoon.

What did loom huge was Coupeville High School, for the first time in many years, hosted a home track and field meet, showing off the new, voter-funded oval and facilities.

After years of dealing with an old track that had broken down too far to be usable for anything other than practice, the Wolves are primed to host multiple high school and middle school home meets this spring.

To get ready for those multi-team shindigs, and give the largest track team in school history a taste of competition, CHS threw itself an intra-squad meet.

While current Wolf runners and throwers arrived to start a new season, quite a few former athletes and coaches took advantage of the event, reuniting as they helped chart times and distances.

If you build it, they will run.

Coupeville High School’s brand-new track will get an extra chance to shine in its inaugural season, and it should be a big deal.

The school was down to host one regular season, four-team high school meet and one middle school meet this year, but CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith announced a major coup Thursday afternoon.

Coupeville has been selected to host the Olympic League JV Championships, also known as the “last chance qualifier,” Monday, May 8.

That means all 11 league schools, both 1A and 2A, will be headed to Whidbey.

The event, which starts at 3:15, sits on the schedule in between the league championships and sub-districts.

It gives athletes who haven’t qualified for the postseason one final opportunity to hit qualifying times or distances.

The Wolves will be joined by fellow 1A schools Port Townsend, Klahowya and Chimacum as well as 2A schools North Kitsap, Port Angeles, Olympic, Sequim, Bremerton, North Mason and Kingston.

Hosting the event is the first step towards Coupeville’s goal of using its new track, and lush Island surroundings, to become a go-to destination for hosting postseason events.

CHS pulled off a very successful, four-team district tourney during volleyball season, the first playoff event it had hosted in several years.
