Epic meet, epic results

Logan Martin had himself quite a day.

The Coupeville High School senior won the discus and hammer throw Saturday, and narrowly missed out on adding a title in the shot put while competing at the 21-team Lil Norway Invitational at North Kitsap Stadium.

Sparked by Martin’s performance, the Wolf boys, repping one of the three smallest schools in the field, finished fifth in the team standings.

Lynden, a 2A powerhouse, took top honors in the boys battle, while tying with Central Kitsap for the girls team title.

Martin, who has already signed to compete for Central Washington University, more than held his own against throwers from big-school rivals.

The invitational featured schools from all six classifications, with 15 of 21 teams coming from 2A, 3A, or 4A.

Letting it fly, Martin claimed second in the shot put, tossed a season-best in the discus, and went ballistic in the hammer throw.

His throw of 163 feet, five inches is not only the best by a Washington state high school athlete this season — second-best is 108-01 — but is also the seventh-best in the entire nation.

It’s believed to be a school record, though there is currently no mark for the hammer throw listed on the record board in the CHS gym.

That’s likely because the event is only held a few times a year, and is not currently part of the state championships.

It is, however, an event which Martin plans to compete in full-time as a college athlete.

Martin and his Wolf teammates had been out of action for two weeks plus, with their last meet way back on Mar. 31.

Coupeville gets two meets next week, heading to Oak Harbor Apr. 20 and the Gear Up Eason Invitational in Snohomish Apr. 23.

CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting were thrilled with the high points Saturday — Martin’s two wins and 15 PR’s for the team — while taking special joy in how their squad held up against the big boys (and girls).

“For being a small school, our boys did excellent!!!,” Bitting said.

“They can run/throw/jump with the big schools and hold their own! Very proud of them all! What a day!

“The girls ran amazingly,” Bitting added. “Whether they competed in the rain, hail, wind, they gave it their all and always had a smile on their faces.

“They know how to find the joy in all they do. So proud of them all!!! Woot! Woot!! GO WOLVES!!!”

Big meet, bigger results

Track and field exists in its own special universe.

It’s one of the few sports where success really, truly doesn’t depend on the size of your high school student body.

Sure, when it comes to team scoring, the more athletes that pour off the bus the more likely you are to soar up the big board.

That was proven once again Saturday, as a pair of bigger 2A schools claimed team titles at the Lil’ Norway Invitational in Poulsbo.

Port Angeles topped 13 schools, ranging from 4A to 1A, to win the girls crown, while Lynden topped the boys.

Coupeville, with the smallest student body of any school at the meet, placed 5th in boys, 7th in girls.

But track and field is the rare sport where you can throw the size of your school out the window, then go out alone (or as part of a relay unit) and take down all challengers.

Saturday it was the duo of Jean Lund-Olsen and Danny Conlisk who soared above, proving fast legs come from every classification.

Lund-Olsen pulled off the sweep, roaring to victories in the 100 and 200, while narrowly holding off his own teammate in the latter event.

Conlisk dominated in the 400, and made his competitors rise to the occasion.

While the CHS senior did NOT set a PR, the next seven runners across the line all hit personal bests or season bests.

And yet the closest finisher to Conlisk was still 2.63 seconds behind him, which is a HUGE gap in the event.

While the Wolf boys were throwing down in the sprints, the best performance by a Coupeville girl came from Mallory Kortuem, who smashed her own school record in the pole vault.

The Wolf junior soared up into the skies, clearing the bar at an even eight feet, three inches better than her previous best, set at last year’s district meet.

Record busters ‘r us!!

We’ll take all the records. I said all of them!

Little-bitty Coupeville invaded the big time Saturday, staring down 19 other schools, many of them from 2A, 3A and 4A, at the Lil’ Norway Invitational in Poulsbo, and rocked the joint.

Backed by the most enthusiastic fan section in attendance, the Wolves produced two meet records and a school record, while holding their own in the team scoring.

Coupeville’s boys finished 7th overall, and were the highest-scoring 1A team in the field, while the CHS girls copped 10th overall and 3rd among 1A schools.

The biggest highlights came from pole vaulter Mallory Kortuem and the Wolf relay teams.

Kortuem, a sophomore who is competing in the pole vault for the first time this season, shattered the school record for female athletes, hitting an even seven feet.

The previous CHS record, set in 2017 by Mckenzie Meyer, was 6-06, a mark Kortuem tied at the Cashmere Invitational earlier this season.

Coupeville’s sophomore supernova didn’t stop there, as she joined Maya Toomey-Stout, Ashlie Shank and Lindsey Roberts to win the Sprinters Medley relay.

The event features two 100 legs, a 200 leg and a 400 leg, and Coupeville’s time of one minute, 58 seconds topped the meet record set in 2017.

Not to be outdone, the Coupeville quartet of Cameron Toomey-Stout, Sean Toomey-Stout, Jacob Smith and Danny Conlisk won the boys version of the event, and they also shattered the meet record.

Their time of 1:41.74 topped a mark set in 2013.

Nine Wolves set PR’s at the meet, with Natalie Hollrigel going a perfect two-for-two. She notched her best-ever times in the 200 and 800.

The meet drew 20 schools, with one 4A school (South Kitsap), two 3A’s, seven 2A’s, eight 1A’s and two 1B’s.

Coupeville will look to continue its hot streak Monday, when it hosts its second, and final, home meet of the season.

The Wolves welcome Friday Harbor and Lopez to town and things kick off at 3:15 PM.
