It’s no longer brand new.

Coupeville High School’s shiny new, taxpayer-funded track oval made its official debut Saturday as the Wolves held an intra-squad meet.

Since it was the first time CHS has hosted a home track meet of any kind in many years, there were a lot of kinks to work out.

So, keep that in mind as you look at the results below.

Instead of being able to pluck the results off of Athletic.net, as we will in the future, we’re doing our best to pull together a bunch of pieces of paper, some hand-written and one or two that were possibly torn.

So, if you’re expecting to see your name here and it doesn’t show up, keep the screaming to a minimum.

A couple of notes, as well.

No names were listed for any of the relay teams, so we’re skipping them this time around.

And, while the order of placement in the girls 1600 was listed, the times next to each athlete are not correct.

Abby Parker is quick, but 3.12 for the mile isn’t exactly believable, whether that’s supposed to be seconds or minutes.

So, here we go, some results that are at least 58.6% correct:

Girls:

100 — Maya Toomey-Stout (1st) 13.99; Mallory Kortuem (2nd) 14.19; Ja’Tarya Hoskins (3rd) 14.62; Cassidy Moody (4th) 14.79; Natalie Hollrigel (5th) 15.31; Madison Rixe (6th) 15.79; Kayla Caudill (7th) 17.48

800 — Lucy Sandahl (1st) 3:15.30; Lauren Bayne (2nd) 3:31.18; Abby Parker (3rd) 3:37.40; Raven Vick (4th) 3:43.21

1600 — Sandahl (1st); Bayne (2nd); Parker (3rd); Vick (4th)

60 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (1st) 11.00; Kortuem (2nd) 13.64; Ema Smith (3rd) 14.23

Shot put — Skyler Lawrence (1st) 29-02; Alexxis Otto (2nd) 25-04.50; Charlotte Langille (3rd) 24-08; Emma Smith (4th) 24-06; Naika Hallam (5th) 20-04.50

The Wolves won every event.

Of course, that’s bound to happen when no other schools are in attendance, but that was of minor importance Saturday afternoon.

What did loom huge was Coupeville High School, for the first time in many years, hosted a home track and field meet, showing off the new, voter-funded oval and facilities.

After years of dealing with an old track that had broken down too far to be usable for anything other than practice, the Wolves are primed to host multiple high school and middle school home meets this spring.

To get ready for those multi-team shindigs, and give the largest track team in school history a taste of competition, CHS threw itself an intra-squad meet.

While current Wolf runners and throwers arrived to start a new season, quite a few former athletes and coaches took advantage of the event, reuniting as they helped chart times and distances.

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor.

Coupeville High School will officially debut its new track oval with an intra-squad meet Saturday, Mar. 11 and the Wolves are seeking volunteers who would like to be event judges.

Whether you have prior experience or want to learn on the go, this is perfect for you.

Since CHS hasn’t hosted a meet for at least five years, running an informal team event first will help everyone get on the same page in a low-stress environment.

“Anyone who enjoys track and field and/or working with some polite and appreciative youth is encouraged to contact us,” said Wolf track coach Randy King. “Catch the excitement!”

Coupeville is scheduled to host three regular meets this season, two for the high school and one for the middle school. There’s also work being done on possibly adding a fourth meet in late April.

The Wolves welcome Port Townsend, Chimacum, Klahowya and Mount Vernon Christian to Whidbey Mar. 30 for their first official home meet, then host the Olympic League JV meet May 8.

That second event will feature 11 schools in all.

With a brand spanking new oval, CHS would like to become a preferred destination point for future postseason events. To do that, the school needs to build a solid supporting cast.

“Building a cadre of experienced event judges will be a key to us being able to hold successful track meets in the future,” King said.

To volunteer contact King (678-2465) or Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith (678-2422).

The pit o’ dreams.

School may be out, but work continues.

Crews are deep into installing a new track oval at Mickey Clark Field, as the days count down towards the start of a new CHS football season.

The old track was ripped away, the stands dismantled and the press box destroyed, and, day by day, the new running surface gets closer to a reality.

These latest photos come to us courtesy John Fisken, who haunts the joint still.
