Let the PRs and wins rain down.

The weather report Wednesday promised death and destruction, or at least epic-sized hail, lightning, and thunder, but the Coupeville High School track team is too quick for Mother Nature.

Putting up a strong team-wide performance in Mount Vernon, the Wolves collected 13 wins, 69 PRs and a triumph in the boys’ team standings at a 10-team meet.

The CHS male athletes, spurred on by eight victories, racked up an even 200 points to stay way ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which finished with 126.5.

On the girls’ side of things, MVC survived a three-way battle with La Conner and Coupeville to claim the team title.

The Hurricanes amassed 158 points, with the Braves (125.5) and Wolves (114) hot on their heels.

Lyla Stuurmans (800, 1600), Cael Wilson (High Jump, Pole Vault), Katie Marti (Shot Put, Discus) and Carson Field (800, 1600) each won two events, while Preston Epp was tops in the 400 and ran a leg on a triumphant 4 x 100 relay unit.

He was joined by Marquette Cunningham, Davin Houston, and Chase Anderson on that squad.

Rounding out Coupeville’s winners were Matthew Ward (Triple Jump), Aleksia Jump (Pole Vault), and George Spear (3200).

The results left Wolf coaches suitably impressed.

“They’re in a groove,” said Bob Martin. “Great meet — fast, focused, and ahead of the storm!”

Part of Coupeville’s squad returns to action this Saturday with an appearance at the Stanwood Freshman/Sophomore Showcase, with the spotlight fully turned on the young guns.

We’ll take all the records. I said all of them!

Little-bitty Coupeville invaded the big time Saturday, staring down 19 other schools, many of them from 2A, 3A and 4A, at the Lil’ Norway Invitational in Poulsbo, and rocked the joint.

Backed by the most enthusiastic fan section in attendance, the Wolves produced two meet records and a school record, while holding their own in the team scoring.

Coupeville’s boys finished 7th overall, and were the highest-scoring 1A team in the field, while the CHS girls copped 10th overall and 3rd among 1A schools.

The biggest highlights came from pole vaulter Mallory Kortuem and the Wolf relay teams.

Kortuem, a sophomore who is competing in the pole vault for the first time this season, shattered the school record for female athletes, hitting an even seven feet.

The previous CHS record, set in 2017 by Mckenzie Meyer, was 6-06, a mark Kortuem tied at the Cashmere Invitational earlier this season.

Coupeville’s sophomore supernova didn’t stop there, as she joined Maya Toomey-Stout, Ashlie Shank and Lindsey Roberts to win the Sprinters Medley relay.

The event features two 100 legs, a 200 leg and a 400 leg, and Coupeville’s time of one minute, 58 seconds topped the meet record set in 2017.

Not to be outdone, the Coupeville quartet of Cameron Toomey-Stout, Sean Toomey-Stout, Jacob Smith and Danny Conlisk won the boys version of the event, and they also shattered the meet record.

Their time of 1:41.74 topped a mark set in 2013.

Nine Wolves set PR’s at the meet, with Natalie Hollrigel going a perfect two-for-two. She notched her best-ever times in the 200 and 800.

The meet drew 20 schools, with one 4A school (South Kitsap), two 3A’s, seven 2A’s, eight 1A’s and two 1B’s.

Coupeville will look to continue its hot streak Monday, when it hosts its second, and final, home meet of the season.

The Wolves welcome Friday Harbor and Lopez to town and things kick off at 3:15 PM.
