Spike sisters soar to success

Sister, my sister, let the spikes fly.

Coupeville siblings Lyla and Tenley Stuurmans continue to shine on the volleyball court, whether wearing school or club uniforms.

The dynamic duo and their SIVA Blue South team, which plays out of Burlington, swept to a championship win at last weekend’s Tulip Festival Tournament in Skagit Valley.

The Stuurmans sisters, and their associates, won two matches Saturday, Apr. 1, and four more the following day to claim first-place in the U16 Gold division.

Club volleyball runs for two more months, with Lyla and Tenley scheduled to play in several more tourneys.

They’ll wrap the season with an appearance at the Emerald City Classic at the University of Washington May 27-29.

SIVA Blue South features a strong group of coach’s daughters, with the offspring of La Conner’s Pam Keller and Sedro-Woolley’s Shawna Tesarik joining the Stuurmans sisters, whose mom, Sarah, has had great success coaching Coupeville and Oak Harbor teams in multiple sports.

Playing club volleyball, especially off of Whidbey Island, has made the siblings step out of their comfort zone and learn to adapt to new responsibilities and positions.

Tenley, who is just 12, is “playing up” with most of her teammates being several years older, while Lyla has been a plug-and-play whirlwind, stepping in to take the place of missing teammates, often with little prior notice.

All while juggling multiple sports, as school track and field runs parallel with club volleyball.

Lyla, a sophomore at Coupeville High School, is currently the fastest 400 female runner in the 2B classification, while Tenley, a 7th grader, is expected to be one of the frontrunners for the middle school squad.

Six down, three to go.

Having cleared March and sailed into April, the Coupeville High School track and field team is two-thirds of the way through its regular season meets.

The Wolves have that aforementioned trio of events on the schedule this month, which will take them to Bellingham, Snohomish, and Lakewood, then open the postseason with the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships May 3.

With one eye on current things, and one eye on the upcoming gauntlet of league, district, and state meets, Coupeville’s top athletes are all trying to post their best times and distances.

As of Apr. 3, there are 14 Wolves — nine boys and five girls — who hold a spot in the top 10 in at least one event when all 2B athletes are compared.

Senior Aidan Wilson leads the way, with five appearances on the big chart, while Dominic Coffman, Carolyn Lhamon, Nick Guay, Mitchell Hall, and Tate Wyman pop up twice.

Wolf sophomore sensation Lyla Stuurmans is currently the only Coupeville competitor to be ranked #1 in an event, as she has the fastest 400 run of the season.

Wolf track rocks the oval

Statement, made.

The Coupeville High School track and field team rolled into Mount Vernon Wednesday and lit up the joint at an 11-team meet.

By the time the day was done, the Wolves had racked up 11 wins, collected 70 PR’s, and won both girls and boys team titles.

Though CHS didn’t get proper credit for some of their performances until Thursday, as scoring and computer imputing issues plagued the meet.

Once things were (mostly) settled, the Wolf girls surged ahead of Mount Vernon Christian in the final team standings, winning a 198-191 duel.

Third place Friday Harbor was well back with 67 points.

On the boy’s side of things, the Wolves were dominant, racking up 212 points, putting them way ahead of MVC (128) and La Conner (96.5)

Coupeville’s wins came courtesy Lyla Stuurmans (400), Carolyn Lhamon (shot put), Aleera Kent (800), Cameron Epp (3200), Claire Mayne (100 hurdles), Zac Tackett (discus), Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Alex Murdy (long jump), Dominic Coffman (high jump) and the boys 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay units.

The Wolves return to action quickly, traveling to Meridian Friday for the Trojan Twilight meet.

Katie Marti is inevitable

Katie Marti, the most entertaining athlete in high school sports. (Delanie Lewis photo)

She’s a one-person wrecking crew, just like grandpa.

Go back through the history of Coupeville High School sports, and Paul Messner’s name looms large, whether the sport under discussion is football or track and field.

Now, jump forward to 2023 and Wolf sophomore Katie Marti, having made the transition from softball to track, is pounding folks just like gramps did back in the day.

Saturday the scene of destruction was Bob Larson Stadium, host of the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

Or, as they shall refer to it after this, the Katie Marti Just Kicked Your Fanny Invitational.

Winning the shot put, discus, and javelin, Christi Messner’s favorite daughter pulled off the trifecta, and accounted for three of Coupeville’s five wins on the day.

Fellow sophomores Monroe Myles (200) and Zac Tackett (discus) joined Marti atop the podium, while CHS athletes combined to rack up 18 PR’s.
