One more event, one more big-time stage.

A day after the state track and field championships wrapped up, two Coupeville High School athletes took part in the Washington State Hammer Championships.

Held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, the event is a bit of a wild card, as the hammer throw is not part of the festivities hosted by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

That didn’t deter Wolf senior Katie Marti or freshman Khanor Jump, who were in the thick of things, chucking the implement into the sunny skies.

Marti, coming off a 7th place performance in the shot put at the WIAA shindig, earned 9th Sunday, flinging her hammer 95 feet, eight inches.

Jump, following in the footsteps of older sister Taygin, now a college hammer chucker at Plattsburgh State in New York, was 22nd in the men’s competition with a heave of 95-07.

Kimberly Beard of King’s and Robert Akers of Hermiston claimed the titles.

Overall, 44 high school athletes competed in the event.

“Way to show up and show out!”

The trek out to Forks is a fairly long one, but a worthwhile one, especially in the eyes of Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

The Wolves were up at the crack of dawn Saturday, primed for a long day, but the choice to take part in the Forks Lion Club Invitational was the right one.

“No rain, some sun, and a whole lot of speed!” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“Great racing and jumping all around, with tons of PRs and some impressive placings.”

The trip was a change from the original schedule, which had the Wolves slated to go to Cashmere today.

Joining the fracas in Forks allowed Coupeville to take more athletes than the other option, and it paid off with the CHS girls claiming a team title at the seven-team meet.

The Wolf boys finished with a solid second-place performance in the team standings, trailing only 2A powerhouse Olympic.

Along the way, Coupeville racked up nine wins and 29 PRs, with Lyla Stuurmans pulling off the double delight with victories in the 800 and 1600.

She was joined by Matthew Ward (triple jump), Aleksia Jump (3200), Carson Field (800), Olivia Hall (400), Cael Wilson (high jump), Katie Marti (discus), and the boys 4 x 100 relay unit.

After bouncing across the backroads of America, the Wolves will get to stay closer to home for their next meet, as they host the Coupeville Classic Invite next Saturday, April 26.

That will be the final regular-season event before the postseason run begins.

They’re rock stars in crunch time.

Fighting from behind Friday, the Coupeville High School JV boys’ basketball team used a dynamic fourth quarter run to seal a home win against La Conner.

Finishing on a torrid 18-11 tear across the final eight minutes, the Wolves upended the Braves 41-38 to claim the only CHS victory of the night.

Now 3-1 in Northwest 2B/1B League play, 4-4 overall, the young guns will be back in action next Friday, Jan. 17, when they travel to the wilds of Darrington.

The bout with La Conner was a close one all night, with neither team able to pull away.

The game was knotted at 10-10 at the first break, with La Conner building small leads through two (17-15) and three (27-23) quarters of play.

The final frame was a different story, however, with Khanor Jump, Davin Houston, Malachi Somes, and Mahkai Myles combining to outscore La Conner down the stretch.

Jump finished with a team high 10 points, while Liam Blas (6), Myles (6), Houston (5), Somes (5), Sage Arends (4), Easton Green (3), and Riley Lawless (2) rounded out the offensive attack for the Wolves.

Nathan Coxsey, Carson Grove, and Kyle McCrimmon also saw floor time in the conference win.

The youngest is making a name for himself.

Coupeville High School freshman Khanor Jump follows in the footsteps of sisters Taygin and Aleksia, both successful athletes, but he’s carving out his own path.

He was a key member of basketball and track teams at the middle school level, while practicing with the high school football team.

Having made the move from 8th grade to 9th grade, Jump is now eligible to fully suit up for the Wolf gridiron program and will do so.

After that, he plans to return to the hardwood and the track oval and has already attended basketball camp at Gonzaga University with fellow CHS hoops players.

“I learned a lot from the Gonzaga camp we went to,” Jump said. “And meeting some of the basketball players, like Graham Ike and other athletes.”

The young Wolf, who picks basketball as his favorite sport — “It’s just fun to me” — also has positive role models closer to home, and was a big fan of Nick Guay, who helped lead CHS back to state as a senior last season.

Like the silky two-way terror who played a key role for Brad Sherman’s hoops squad, Jump hits the floor determined to make an immediate impact.

“I don’t care who’s guarding me, I will play as I always play,” he said. “I am not intimidated.”

Jump would like to work on “getting stronger in all my positions and events,” with a goal of “being on the varsity team at most in 10th grade.”

Already pretty springy, and getting taller by the day, he’d also like to “hopefully dunk in high school.”

A fan of “classic ’80s/’90s rock and roll,” Marvel movies, and playing video games to unwind, Jump doesn’t have any favorite classes, but aims for good grades.

He hails from an athletic family — Taygin is a college track star in New York, while mom Christina is an accomplished runner — and approaches every sports challenge with a can-do attitude.

Jump praises his parents for “putting me in sports,” and enjoys watching games and movies like The Last Dance, which documented Michael Jordan’s exploits while leading the Chicago Bulls to multiple NBA titles.

In his own life, the Wolf frosh enjoys all the benefits of being a year-round athlete.

“I like being part of a team,” Jump said. “I like working out and becoming stronger and being challenged.”

The Wolves went East, chasing that hoops life.

Led by head coach Brad Sherman, a pack of Coupeville High School basketball players headed to Gonzaga for a summer camp this week.

The Wolves stopped off at Garfield-Palouse for a scrimmage, then made the trek to the home of one of the nation’s top college hardwood programs.

From varsity vets to young guns ready to make their first runs as high schoolers, the four-day adventure provided all the Wolves with a prime chance to learn and bond in advance of a new season.

Which can’t start soon enough.

Go East, young man. (Photos courtesy Brad Sherman)
