“Two outs, bottom of the seventh, one swing to win it. The crowd goes wild…”

Every time a camera appears, a new McKayla Bailey is born.

“This is my serious face!!”

Mollie Bailey, striking fools out all day long.

“Dalton rest now. Dalton want lemonade. Chop chop!!”

That little something extra.

It’s what every track and field athlete is looking for, and every cameraman.

A lot of Wolf athletes pictured here found that extra something Saturday, setting PRs and hitting big throws and quick times at the Olympic League championships.

Merrily clicking away, John Fisken also found that something special, and he was nice enough to let us gaze upon his work.

Or, we can just bask in the glow of some pretty freakin’ awesome pics snapped at the Olympic League track and field championships by our resident Diet Coke-guzzlin’ lens man, John Fisken.

You’re not even reading these words, are you?

Fine, get yourself back to Eileen Stone droppin’ side eye, photo bombs goin’ off everywhere and the glory that is Jared Helmstadter’s socks.

Here come the playoffs.

As the regular seasons begin to wind down, every one of the Coupeville High School spring sports teams is postseason-bound.

1A Olympic League rivals Port Townsend and Chimacum can’t say that, but CHS, the little school that could, has matched Klahowya by advancing girls’ tennis, boys’ soccer, baseball, track and softball to the next level of play.

Toss in golf, where Christine Fields is a one-woman Wolf wrecking crew, and Coupeville is 6-for-6.

To give you a feel for what’s been going on, and the promise of more to come, here are eight snappy pics courtesy John Fisken.
