Time to run with the big boys (and girls).

The second track and field meet of the season sent Coupeville High School’s squad way down the road Saturday, where the Wolves vied at the 24-team Rainier Icebreaker.

The meet drew schools from numerous classifications, but the Wolves, repping a 2B school, more than held their own.

Coupeville’s boys placed fifth in the team competition, while their female counterparts claimed 14th overall.

Onalaska’s boys and Rainier’s girls came out on top in the point chase.

While Coupeville didn’t claim any individual wins, the Wolves did collect three second-place performances, with two of those being ties among teammates.

Katie Marti was runner-up in the javelin, while Cael Wilson shared second place in the high jump and pole vault with Davin Houston and Axel Marshall, respectively.

Toss in 22 PR’s spread out amongst 19 Wolves, with Isa Mc Fetridge, Liam Blas, and Ari Cunningham notching two apiece to lead the way, and CHS coaches came away pleased.

“Beautiful afternoon, high energy, new faces — team came in hungry for success!” said Bob Martin.

Coupeville returns to action next week with two meets. Up first is a trip off-island Wednesday, Mar. 26 for a Northwest 2B/1B League meet hosted by Mount Vernon Christian.

They came, they saw, they held their own.

Competing at the 23-team Rainier Icebreaker Saturday, the Coupeville High School track and field teams put in a long day’s work.

The Wolves left the gym at 6:30 AM and didn’t get back to home base until 10 PM.

But it was worth it, said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“It was a long day with some great results.

“Not only was the sun out bright and hot but our athletes were on fire today! Lots of PRs and lots of improvements.”

The Wolves racked up 27 personal bests, with 21 athletes garnering at least one.

Freshman Ivy Rudat led the way, setting records in the 200, 400, and long jump, while Kayla Crane, Myra McDonald, Reese Wilkinson, and Lexis Drake all earned two PRs.

Overall, the CHS girls finished 10th in the team standings, while the boys were 16th. Montesano claimed both titles.

Next up for the Wolves is a home meet Wednesday, Mar. 20.

But for now, Coupeville’s track stars can take a moment to bask in the afterglow of a solid performance on a big stage.

“The experience they get from invitationals like the Rainer Icebreaker is invaluable,” Bitting said. “It was a good day!”
