Their track, their spotlight

It was a clean sweep. Sort of.

The Coupeville High School track and field team won every event at a home meet Wednesday, though that came with a wrinkle.

The Coupeville Classic Invitational was a late addition to the calendar, created to give Wolf coaches a chance to honor their 26 seniors.

It was also an opportunity to get all their athletes back in action after a 10-day break between meets, even if the Wolves were the only team on the oval.

And finally, the event gave CHS coaches and helpers a chance to work out the kinks prior to hosting multiple teams during the district meet in May.

Competing against their teammates under sunny skies, the Wolves seized the opportunity, combining to post 69 PR’s.

That included the team’s first foray into the world of pole vaulting this season.

Carly Burt, Cael Wilson, and Adrian Cunningham made their debuts in the event, with school record holder Jordan Ford helping coach.

“Old school” pole vaulter Jordan Ford imparts wisdom to a new generation.

Coupeville returns to action this Saturday, traveling to Snohomish for the GearUp Eason Invitational.

That meet currently lists 92 schools planning to attend, drawing teams from Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia.

Hall chases college cross country dreams

Wolf coaches and athletes came out in support of their college-bound teammate.

Mitchell Hall will be a Fightin’ Engineer.

The Coupeville High School senior signed a letter of intent Thursday to run cross country next fall for the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

The NCAA D-III school, located in Terra Haute, Indiana, is a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Rose-Hulman kicks off a new cross country season with a home meet Sept. 1 on the LaVern Gibson Championship Course.

Hall signed his letter of intent a day after he and his CHS track and field teammates celebrated Senior Night.

He entered the week ranked in the Top 10 in two events among all 2B athletes.

Hall is currently the 5th fastest male runner in the 1600 and is part of a 4 x 400 Wolf relay squad ranked #9 in its classification.

A four-year cross country runner for CHS, he advanced to the state championships as both a junior and senior.

In addition, Hall won the boys individual title at the Northwest 2B/1B League meet in his final go-round.

At Rose-Hulman, the speedy Wolf will join a program which claimed the league title in 2022 and boasted 32 runners on its roster last fall.

The Fightin’ Engineers rep rose and white colors, with Rosie the Elephant holding the spotlight as school mascot.

RHIT was started in 1874 and boasts a curriculum focusing “on both career preparation and undergraduate-driven research in STEM-fields.”

Founder Chauncey Rose launched the school “to provide technical training after encountering difficulties in local engineer availability during construction of his railroads.”

Noted alumni include Barzilla W. Clark, the former Governor of Idaho, Art Nehf, who pitched 15 seasons in Major League Baseball, and Abe Silverstein, who was “responsible for the conception, design, and construction of America’s first supersonic propulsion wind tunnels.”

It’s still really early.

The state track and field championships are a solid two months away, and Coupeville High School is scheduled to appear in 10 more meets between now and then.

But … if the season ended today, the Wolves would have a new state champ.

It was a season full of big moments.

The Coupeville High School cross country program won boys and girls league titles this fall, while sending eight runners — including its entire girls’ team — to the state meet.

Senior Mitchell Hall beat the field to win an individual league title, as well, while the Wolf girls earned an academic state title for having the highest team GPA among all 2B schools.

All of that and more was celebrated Thursday, as CHS coach Paige Spangler and her team capped awards season with the final banquet on the fall schedule.

Eight to state!

Posted in Cross Country, tagged , , , , , on October 27, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Party like it’s 1982!

That year, British new wave kings Duran Duran released Hungry Like the Wolf, which went on to win the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.

Meanwhile, the Coupeville High School girls cross country team claimed 4th place at the state meet, the best finish in school history for a harrier squad.

Now, 40 years later, a new group of award-hungry Wolves has arrived to stake their own claim to greatness.

Running as a pack Thursday, the Coupeville girls finished 3rd at the Tri-District meet at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, punching their ticket as a team to the state meet.

That race goes down Saturday, Nov. 5 in Pasco, where CHS boys Mitchell Hall and Carson Field will join their female compatriots, having qualified as individuals.

The top three teams, and best 21 runners in each race advanced.

It’s the second trip to state for Hall, Claire Mayne, and Helen Strelow, as all three qualified as individuals last season.

Field, Noelle Western, Cristina McGrath, Reagan Callahan, and Erica McGrath will be making their state meet debuts.

“Very excited for all of them,” said CHS coach Paige Spangler. “They’ve worked so hard this season!!!”

Getting an entire team through to Pasco marks a major milestone as Coupeville nears the end of year five of the rebirth of its cross country program.

The Wolf boys finished 5th in the team standings at both the 1976 and 1977 state meets, while the CHS girls were 8th in 1981 and 4th in 1982.

Add in individual state titles for Natasha Bamberger (1985) and Tyler King (2010), and the Wolf program has a proud history.

But it also went into hibernation in the ’90s — King won his title as a solo artist training and traveling with Oak Harbor — and stayed dormant until being relaunched in 2018.

Bamberger, Luke Samford, and Elizabeth Bitting each coached a season, while Spangler is in her second, and final year, as she and her husband are moving to the East coast in December.

Under their combined tutelage, Danny Conlisk and Catherine Lhamon made it to state as individuals, then the three-pack last year, and now they’ll cram the van for the trip.

The Wolf girls qualified by notching 104 points Thursday, holding off Mount Vernon Christian (114) and Bellevue-based Summit Classical Christian (116).

Pope John Paul II, which hails from Lacey, was a clear front-runner with just 15 points, with Tacoma’s Covenant (90) claiming second among the seven schools which fielded a full girls team.

On the boys side, it was PJP-II (19), MVC (84), and Covenant (87) qualifying as teams, with Orcas Island (100) and Coupeville (106) just missing out.

Hall had the best performance of any Wolf, finishing 3rd in his race, with Catelin King of PJP-II and Asher Ingram of Northwest Christian (Lacey) earning individual titles on the 5,000-meter course.
