The weather wasn’t so hot this spring, but the performances were torrid.

Over the past two decades of track and field action, there have been seven Coupeville Middle School students who won 10 or more times in a single season.

Three of those came this spring, all from 7th graders.

Les Queen, who won three times as a 6th grader, tops the list, having piled up 18 wins in his second season.

That ties him with Lindsey Roberts for the most in a single campaign by a CMS athlete, a mark which the future high school Athlete of the Year winner set way back in 2015.

With one more season of middle school action on his schedule, Queen sits with 21 career wins, trailing just Roberts (24) and Tamsin Ward (39), who went to state in two events this year as a high school freshman.

Laurel Crowder and Jesse Kehoe were impressive as well this spring, racking up 12 and 11 wins respectively.

They join Queen, Roberts, Ward (16 in 2025), Diesel Eck (13 in 2025), and Alex Murdy (12 in 2019) as the only Wolves to nail double-digit win totals in a season since athletic.net started tracking all of this back in the early 2000’s.

Overall, 32 different Wolves claimed at least one victory this spring, showcasing the talent and depth of the CMS track program.

“I’d say it’s been a great season!”

“So many students brought their “A” game to the grand finale!”

Coupeville Middle School track and field boys’ coach Jon Gabelein and his fellow Wolf leaders came away thrilled from Thursday’s season-ending Cascade League Championships at Lakewood High School.

“They showed that today was the day to lock in and apply their strongest efforts,” Gabelein said. “This resulted in a ton of PRs and high placings while helping Coupeville be well represented at the league finals.

“There were lots of happy CMS athletes who were very proud of themselves for doing so well.

“It was great seeing them realize the success they created for themselves through their hard work and pushing their limits.”

Ella Holm marinates in sweet victory.

Wrapping up the two-day league event, which started Monday, the Wolves battled with six other teams, finishing in the top two of the team standings in three of four contests.

The Wolf 6th/7th grade girls finished first, holding off South Whidbey 89.5-79.5.

Meanwhile, both boys’ units claimed second, with the 6th/7th graders nipped 76-75 by King’s and the 8th graders trailing just Lakewood.

The CMS 8th grade girls, with a limited roster, finished sixth.

The three top-two performances were the best showing by any school.

Les Queen and Laurel Crowder racked up the medals.

Individually, 7th graders Les Queen and Laurel Crowder paced the Wolves, combining to claim seven titles.

Queen won the discus Monday, then beat the field in the 200, 400, and shot put in the finale.

He finishes his second track campaign with 18 wins, tying the program single-season high-water mark set by 8th grader Lindsey Roberts in 2015.

Crowder, who won the high jump Monday, added titles in the 100 and 200 and finishes the year with 12 wins, the third-best single-season showing by a CMS girl.

Xander Beaman gets legendary.

Coupeville also got titles from Jesse Kehoe (High Jump), Zariyah Allen (Discus), Ella Holm (Shot Put), and Xander Beaman (High Jump), with the latter smashing the school record in his event.

Kehoe’s win was his 11th of the season, just the fourth CMS boy to reach that mark in a single year.

Jesse Kehoe pushes hard for the line.

Whether they won or pushed their opponents to the final step or throw, the Wolves impressed their coaches.

“I am very proud of all the work they put in to improve themselves as well as all they did to support their teammates throughout our adventures,” Gabelein said.

“I look forward to the 6th and 7th grade students returning and continuing to get even better.

“I hope our 8th grade students will take their track and field skills to the next level by joining the high school team next year.”

That’s a feeling shared by Gabelein’s fellow coaches, Kelly Powers and Shaloma Allen, who lead the Wolf girls.

“At least two CMS records were broken today, added to the half dozen broken earlier in the year and I’d say it’s been a great season!” Powers said.

“Not without its highs and lows … we had a dropped baton or two and a few scratches here and there, but how these athletes bounce back and lift each other up will always inspire me.

“In a sport where only one person can finish first, I definitely feel we’ve had more wins than losses and I am exceptionally proud of how far every single athlete pushed themselves throughout the season and especially today.”

Henry Purdue is a PR machine.

Crowder, Holm open league meet with a bang

Posted in Middle School, Track, tagged , , , , on June 2, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Laurel Crowder is seizing the moment, again and again.

Last spring, as a Coupeville Middle School 6th grader, she celebrated a solitary win in the high jump at an early-season meet in Sultan.

This time around, Crowder is throwing down much-larger numbers, as evidenced by her performance Monday during day one of the two-day Cascade League Championships.

Competing at Lakewood High School against rivals from six other schools, the Wolf ace claimed a conference title in the high jump, her 10th win of the season.

That puts her in top company, as she’s only the third CMS girl to crack double-digit win totals in a single campaign in the last two decades.

With 10 wins and counting, Crowder joins Lindsey Roberts, who won 18 times in 2015, and Tamsin Ward, who triumphed 16 times last spring.

Both of those girls were 8th graders when they hit double digits.

Crowder, who also finished first in the 200 prelims Monday, was joined on the medal stand by fellow 7th grader Ella Holm, who claimed a title in the shot put for her second win of the season.

Monday’s events were split between a handful of finals and a lot of prelims, which sets up Thursday’s half of the season-ending meet.

CMS 7th grader Les Queen, who leads the Wolves with 14 wins this season, finished first in both the 200 and 400 prelims Monday, setting himself up for a torrid finale.

Kaleigha Millison (left), Zariyah Allen, and Addison Jacobson (front) are a talented trio.

Having reached the halfway point of the league rumble, Coupeville coach Jon Gabelein was reflective while also looking ahead.

“Today’s prelims were fun and exciting as we were competing against all of the best athletes from the Cascade League,” he said.

“Several of our athletes earned spots in the finals; many pushed themselves and earned PRs, such as Mia Goers in the 200 and Autumn Hunt in the 100 hurdles.

“We have had a great season with lots of hard work that allowed them to generate many improvements, accomplishments, and even greater confidence.”

That was a feeling shared by both the athletes and coaches.

“Mia (Goers) shared that “everybody tried their best and did amazing,” Gabelein said.

“Juniper (Dotson) and Amira (Annunciado) noticed that “everybody was supportive and cheered on other teams despite the competition.”

Wolf assistant coach Kelly Powers praised both the effort and the sportsmanship shown by her young athletes.

“Honestly, watching the camaraderie of these young men is the best part of the meet,” she said. “I love running as a sport because everyone cheers everyone else on.

“We saw a lot of that today, high fives and handshakes are the heart of this sport and I’m so glad we’re seeing our Wolves out there giving it their all with a smile on their faces.”

Henry Purdue steals a look at the clock as he hits a PR.

“They had fun in the sun!”

Posted in Middle School, Track, tagged , , , , on May 21, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Gunnin’ for another PR. (Jackie Queen photos)

PRs sprout in the sun.

At least that appears to be the case, as the Coupeville Middle School track and field team stayed busy Wednesday piling up personal-best marks during a three-team meet in Langley.

Squaring off with host South Whidbey and Cascade League heavyweight King’s, the Wolves collected 54 PRs and 14 wins.

That made for a happy bunch of CMS coaches.

“They had a fun day in the sun,” said Wolf track guru Jon Gabelein. “Our athletes have worked hard throughout the season, and this allowed them to enjoy some clear and exciting growth.”

With Coupeville staying on Whidbey to visit its next-door neighbors, Wolf fans also made the trek in style.

“It was great seeing so many families make the trip South to support our athletes,” Gabelein said. “This was very appreciated!”

Talent runs deep on the Wolf roster.

Coupeville’s 14 wins were spread amongst eight athletes, led by three-event winner Les Queen, who topped the field in the 200, shot put, and discus.

That gives the CMS 7th grader 14 wins this spring, the most in a single season by a Wolf boy in the athletic.net era (2008-2026).

Queen, who won three times as a 6th grader, edges past Diesel Eck (13 in 2025) and Alex Murdy (12 in 2019), and trails just Lindsey Roberts (18 in 2015) and Tamsin Ward (16 in 2025) on the all-time list.

He was joined by double event winners Henry Purdue (800, 1600), Laurel Crowder (100, 200), Jesse Kehoe (High Jump, Long Jump), and Malachi Chapa (400, Long Jump), with Bella Sandlin (400), Xander Beaman (High Jump), and Ella Holm (Shot Put) also claiming titles.

With his performance Wednesday Kehoe joins an exclusive club, as he now has 10 wins during his 7th grade campaign.

Crowder (9), Chapa (8), and Purdue (7) are all hot on his heels, while Holm became the 32nd Wolf to win an event this season.

The Wolves have one more meet, split into two parts, to add to their win totals, with the Cascade League Championships set to wrap the season.

Coupeville heads to Lakewood High School in Arlington June 1 for the prelims, then returns June 4 for the finals.

One team, one dream.

Gloomy day, bright performances

The results outshone the weather.

Competing on their home oval on a grey mid-May afternoon Wednesday, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squad held up well against always-strong South Whidbey.

Spurred on by eight wins from their 8th graders, the Wolf boys edged the visitors 94-87 in the team battle, while South Whidbey sailed to a 140-54 victory in the girl’s competition.

Overall, 10 CMS athletes finished first in at least one event, with Laurel Crowder (100, 200, High Jump), Jesse Kehoe (100, High Jump, Long Jump), and Les Queen (200, 400, Discus) each winning three times.

Queen, a 7th grader, is now 11-0, the third-most wins in a single season for a Wolf boy.

He trails just Diesel Eck (13 in 2025) and Alex Murdy (12 in 2019), then would be chasing CMS standard bearers Lindsey Roberts (18 in 2015) and Tamsin Ward (16 in 2025).

Kehoe, who has eight wins this spring, and Crowder, who joins River Simpson with seven apiece, are all hot on the heels of Queen for top honors.

For Wolf coach Jon Gabelein, the day was a success, starting with the fact the majority of the liquid sunshine hit the ground prior to the meet.

“Everyone was glad that the rain didn’t last long,” he said. “Today’s meet included some exciting PRs, some errors we wish we wouldn’t have made, and lots of students supporting each other’s strong efforts.

“With just one more meet before prelims and finals, the season is flying by.

“Our ability to continue being intentional with how we use our practices productively without over training will help everyone wrap up the season at the highest level possible.”

That last regular season meet arrives Wednesday, May 20, when the Wolves travel to Langley for a rematch with South Whidbey.

After that comes the Cascade League Championships, set for June 1 and 4 at Lakewood High School.
