With the start of a new season just around the corner, many of Coupeville High School’s female booters are taking part in a summer camp this week.

The camp, held at Fort Nugent, is running from Monday through Thursday. The first official day of high school practice is Aug. 24.

It’s the first summer camp sponsored by the North Whidbey Soccer Club, which means local players didn’t have to travel off-Island for once.

The camp, which is run by Nicholas Dziminowicz, a former D1 college player, has drawn a large response from Wolf players, who are accounting for about 70% of the attendees.

11 hoops stars, zero fears of the camera.

Tiffany Briscoe needs the time off to gaze in wonder at the latest in a long string of bruises she’s picked up on various basketball courts.

On to the beach!

And off with the shoes!

A Wolf or two went this way.

A brief bit of yoga, Charlie’s Angels-style.

You can not live by basketball alone.

In between playing five games in two days at a camp in Ocean Shores, Coupeville High School girls’ basketball players are also getting some down time.

Trips to the beach and various tourist traps are always on the itinerary, as Wolf coaches David and Amy King work on team-bonding as much as on-court development.

The photos above, courtesy the more click-happy of the duo (that would be Mrs. King) capture a bit of the summer hoops life for those of us not there.

Run (and throw) to glory!!

“TOLD YA!!!!!!!!”

They had the wins, and, even though they didn’t have enough places to carry the day, they put on a big show.

Despite boasting less than half the student body of league rival Klahowya, the Coupeville High School girls’ track team came dangerously close to capturing a team title at Saturday’s Sub-District meet in Bremerton.

Riding the crest of eight wins, including a sweep of the relays and sprints, the Wolves finished second to the Eagles, who used far superior depth to eke out a 97-74 win.

Port Townsend and Chimacum trailed far behind.

On the boys side, Port Townsend claimed top honors, followed by Klahowya, Chimacum and Coupeville.

Like all track meets, however, the real focus was on individual accomplishment, with top three finishers earning a berth to next weekend’s district meet, the last stop before state.

Wolves who finished fourth in their event may still live on, as well, once all the numbers come in.

If their time/throw was better than the #5 result from the Nisqually League, they will also move on.

As it stands now, Coupeville will advance eight girls and four boys in individual events, plus two relay teams.

Coupeville got two wins from zippy junior Makana Stone (200, 400) and one apiece from Sylvia Hurlburt (100), Skyler Lawrence (Shot Put), Lauren Bayne (High Jump) and Lauren Grove (Triple Jump).

The Wolves also swept the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 (Grove, Hurlburt, Stone, Marisa Etzell), while Dalton Martin claimed Coupeville’s lone boys title in the discus.

Without having to resort to running season bests, the Coupeville High School girls’ track squad still cruised to two wins at a five-team meet in Port Townsend Thursday.

When he’s not working on his interpretive dance moves, Dalton Martin is a threat in both throwing and running events.

Makana Stone can beat you a billion ways.

So far this spring, the fleet-footed Coupeville High School junior has chosen to focus on five ways, with her performances in each of those events putting her among the 13 best among all 1A competitors.

Stone sits third in the 400 and ninth in the 200, while helping anchor relay teams that currently have the second, fourth and thirteenth fastest times.

Her five top times puts her atop the Wolf team, but Sylvia Hurlburt, Marisa Etzell and Lauren Grove are hot on her heels, all boasting four Top-50 performances.

On the boys side, Lathom Kelley and Dalton Martin lead the way with three Top-50 finishes each.

Where the Wolves currently rank among all 1A track and field athletes (through four of nine regular season meets):
