Who will be #100?

Across 62 seasons in the modern era of state track and field meets (1963-2025), there have been 99 Coupeville High School athletes who have earned a medal at the big dance.

Of those, 10 have finished atop the podium, winning a state title — eight boys and two girls — with the King boys splitting top honors.

Kyle King has five state titles, which ties him with Natasha Bamberger, who nabbed four in track and another in cross country, while Tyler King nipped his older brother 11-10 in the overall medal race.

As we prepare for the 2026 campaign, there are four active Wolves who have already medaled and are back for more – Chase Anderson, Marquette Cunningham, Wyatt Fitch-Marron, and Davin Houston.

Their time at the Tacoma Dome has reached its end.

Coupeville High School wrestlers Deven Ogden and Marquette Cunningham both lost in early Saturday morning matches, marking the end of their runs at Mat Classic XXXVII.

The Wolf duo, who trained, traveled, and competed with South Whidbey during the regular season as CHS doesn’t have its own mat program, both went 1-2 across two days at the state meet.

Cunningham, competing at 132 pounds, fell 7-0 to Owen McAuliffe of Liberty Bell Saturday, after splitting his matches Friday.

He toppled Diego Gutierrez of Columbia (Burbank) 10-2, before losing 15-0 to Trevin Stauffer of Jenkins (Chewelah) in the tournament’s opening session.

Meanwhile, Ogden, who wrestles at 165 pounds, was on the losing end of a 14-1 score Saturday while squaring off with Trenton Mulvaney of Highland.

In his opening bouts, he drilled Guztavo Cortez of Tonasket 20-4, before coming up just short in a 7-0 rumble with Thorne Tissue of Liberty (Spangle).

The “Lone Wolves” have reached the final weekend.

While Coupeville High School doesn’t have swim or wrestling programs of its own, several students have spent the winter training, traveling, and competing with other schools.

Having broken free for the postseason, splasher Finn Price and grapplers Marquette Cunningham and Deven Ogden all qualified for the state championships, which sent them on one more trip.

Price tapped the wall for the final time in a CHS uniform Friday, capping his third trip to state in four years with an appearance in the 50 free prelims.

The Wolf senior, competing in Seattle with swimmers from 2A and 1A schools while repping a 2B institution, finished 22nd with a time of 24.63 seconds.

After a stellar run as a prep athlete, Price is slated to compete for Whitman College, a top-level NCAA D-III program, beginning next school year.

Marquette Cunningham

Meanwhile, Cunningham and Ogden hit the mat at the crack of dawn Friday in Tacoma, taking part in day one of the two-day Mat Classic XXXVII.

Both Wolves won their opening matches, absorbed losses in their second bouts, and return Saturday to continue their big city adventures.

Cunningham, who is seeded #6 in the 132-pound class, beat Diego Gutierrez of Columbia (Burbank) 10-2, before falling 15-0 to Trevin Stauffer of Jenkins (Chewelah) his second time on the mat.

He’s scheduled to square off with Owen McAuliffe of Liberty Bell Saturday morning.

Ogden, the #4 seed at 165 pounds, thumped Guztavo Cortez of Tonasket 20-4, then came up short in a 7-0 bout with Thorne Tissue of Liberty (Spangle).

Awaiting him Saturday is Trenton Mulvaney of Highland.

They’re mat kings.

Despite not having a wrestling program of its own, Coupeville High School will send two grapplers to the state tournament this year.

Wolves Marquette Cunningham and Deven Ogden, who trained, traveled, and competed with 1A South Whidbey during the regular season, broke off Friday to begin their own postseason journey.

The duo went to Darrington to compete in the District 1/2/3 tourney for 2B/1B wrestlers, with both capturing individual titles.

Cunningham wrestles at 132 pounds, while Ogden hits the mat in the 165-pound classification.

Overall, CHS, with just two wrestlers, finished fifth in the team standings, while Darrington held off Muckleshoot Tribal for the title.

Concrete and Friday Harbor finished third and fourth, respectively, in the team standings.

With tri-district titles in hand, Cunningham and Ogden advance to the state championships, with Mat Classic XXXVII set for the Tacoma Dome.

The 2B/1B portion of the tourney goes down Feb. 20-21, with brackets released next week.
