One day from departure.

The Coupeville High School track and field program sends 18 athletes to Yakima Thursday, where the 2B state championships await.

The season concludes in a three-day whirl of competition, with most of the activity set for Friday and Saturday, most likely under warmer temps than we currently have on Whidbey.

As the Wolves count down the hours until they leave town, here’s a look back at action from the bi-district meet in Coupeville.

“It was a perfect, beautiful day for some PRs!”

Listening to the words of coach Elizabeth Bitting, the Coupeville High School track and field squad set 68 personal bests Wednesday at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships in Mount Vernon.

Toss in 10 wins and a team title for the Wolf boys, and it was a great day all around for those reppin’ the red and black.

The CHS boys held off La Conner 148.5-126 to claim top team honors, while Mount Vernon Christian (104.5), Orcas Island (73), and Friday Harbor (65) rounded out the field.

On the girls’ side, MVC claimed first with 174.5 points, with La Conner edging Coupeville 132-131. Friday Harbor tallied 51.5, with Orcas sitting at 46.

The Wolves were led by junior Carson Field, who won the 800 and 1600, while also sweeping both boys relay races and both pole vault titles (Carly Burt and Cael Wilson).

Lyla Stuurmans (800), Zane Oldenstadt (Shot Put), Aleera Kent (1600), and Zac Tackett (Discus) also won as CHS kicked off its postseason run.

Next up is the district meet Saturday, May 11 in Coupeville. Finish in the top two there and you qualify for state, which is May 23-25 in Yakima.

It’s hammer time for Wolf trio

Katie Marti is Coupeville’s best hammer thrower. (Emma Garcia photo)

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.

Big city, big results

They squared off with the big-timers and did pretty well.

The Coupeville High School track and field squad traveled to rainy Lynden Thursday and went toe-to-toe, and javelin throw-to-javelin throw with three athletic powerhouses.

The 2A hosts swept to both team titles, while 3A Ferndale, 1A Nooksack Valley, and lil’ 2B Coupeville battled it out behind the Lions.

The Wolves eventually won three individual titles, with Katie Marti (Javelin), Reese Wilkinson (Discus), and Nick Guay (High Jump) occupying the top step on the awards podium.

Overall Coupeville athletes racked up 44 PRs in their next-to-last regular season meet.

Next up is the Sunny and 70’s Invitational at Lakewood High School Saturday (the hammer throw is Friday), and then it’s off to start the postseason jaunt as the calendar flips to May.

Wild weather, titanic throws

Survive and thrive.

That’s the goal at large track and field meets like Saturday’s Lil’ Norway Invitational at North Kitsap High School.

Call it a success then, as Coupeville, repping one of the smallest student bodies at the 20-team event, held its own, garnering a win in the girls’ discus and 12 PRs.

Wolf senior Reese Wilkinson brought home the title, emerging from a field of 33 throwers.

Not only did she set a PR, but she finished seven feet, six inches ahead of the #2 thrower.

Also having a strong day chucking things was junior Katie Marti, who earned third place finishes in both the javelin and the hammer throw.

She was making her debut in the latter event and was joined by fellow first-timers Erica McGrath and Mason Butler.

Lynden, a powerhouse at the 2A level, held off North Kitsap to claim both the girls and boys team titles, while the Wolf girls made a strong statement, finishing eighth.

As often happens during “spring” in Washington state, the day was full of weather twists and turns.

“Mother Nature never ceases to surprise us with what she has in store for us on our weekend invitationals,” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“What started out as a beautiful sunny, warm day ended with gusty winds, light rain, no power and freezing cold athletes.

“Thank goodness those in charge of timing had a generator so the meet could continue.”

While many of the athletes in attendance hailed from large schools, the Wolves never flinched from the challenge.

“Our athletes held up nicely next to the bigger schools,” Bitting said. “There were a few who just missed out on the podium but regardless ran, threw and jumped well.”

Coupeville returns to action next week, with its final two regular season meets.

The Wolves are slated to travel to Lynden Thursday, then to Lakewood next Saturday, before veering off to start the postseason the week after.
