Short season, big accomplishments.
The ongoing pandemic limited the high school track and field season to just six meets, but Coupeville’s athletes excelled every step of the way.
Saturday was no different, as the Wolves won five titles and set 21 PR’s during the season-closing Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.
Competing on their home turf, CHS junior Logan Martin and senior Sam Wynn spent the most time on the awards podium, both winning a pair of titles.
Martin was tops in the shot put and discus, while Wynn bolted to a win in the 100, then ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay squad.
He was joined on that squad by underclassmen Reiley Aracely, Dominic Coffman, and Aidan Wilson.
Also winning a title was Catherine Lhamon, who crushed the field in her final try at the 3200.
Beating her closest opponent by a minute and six seconds, the Wolf senior lapped four of her six foes.
Coming dangerously close to grabbing league titles were sophomore Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Wilson (long jump), and the boys 4 x 400 relay unit, which all claimed second-place finishes.
By the time the day had ended, 14 Wolves had set a PR, with seven of them notching two personal bests.
That group included Aurora Cernick, Hank Milnes, Mikey Robinett, Ava Mitten, Camryn Clark, Wynn, and Cristina McGrath.
Perennial track power Mount Vernon Christian, which came to town with a deep, talented squad, claimed both team titles.
Coupeville finished third in the boys battle, and fourth in the girls rumble.
