The future of Wolf sports is here and it just came flying in the door.
Coupeville High School freshman Sean Toomey-Stout, much like twin sister Maya and older brother Cameron, is fleet of feet.
That speed, a love for competition and a willingness to work hard and mesh well with his teammates bodes well for his athletic future.
Like his siblings, Toomey-Stout plans to be a three-sport athlete for the Wolves, continuing a trend from middle school.
He’s currently out on the gridiron putting in practice time with the CHS football squad, then plans to follow that up with basketball and track.
While Toomey-Stout enjoys all of his athletic pursuits, it’s a close battle for which one is nearest and dearest to his heart.
“It is between football and basketball,” he said. “They are both sports I’ve loved to play and watch since I was little.”
Embracing sports, both as a fan and a player, is something which comes naturally.
From moms Lisa Toomey and Beth Stout on down, the clan loves the arena.
“My entire family, they are sports nuts,” Sean said. “I have learned to love watching and playing sports.”
He’s also learned to work well with others, blossoming as a rock-solid teammate while toiling for CMS squads.
“I like being a part of a team and learning new things,” Toomey-Stout said. “I like meeting new people when I play.
“I am able to rely on other people, and, if I mess up, I know they will have my back,” he added. “I try my hardest in everything I do and give my maximum effort.”
When he’s not playing organized team sports, Toomey-Stout can often be found on a paddle board or snowboard, while still carving out time to finish homework.
“I want to get good grades,” he said. “And enjoy my time playing sports and doing well at sports.”
While he comes equipped with strong athletic skills, Toomey-Stout is not content to coast on his natural abilities alone.
“I need to work on my overall speed and agility, as well as my physical strength,” he said.
And while sports are a big part of his life, they aren’t the only thing driving him.
He’s a drummer who “likes all kinds of movies” and has musical tastes which run from opera to rap.
In the classroom, he gravitates towards math, which is “pretty fun,” and band, which allows him to be creative.
“I enjoy playing the drums and I drum a lot at home,” Toomey-Stout said. “I love to try to figure out new pieces of music in band.”
