I love stuff like this.

Prairie legend Jennie (Cross) Prince showed up at Coupeville High School’s track and field awards banquet Thursday to officially pass the torch.

After holding the school’s discus record for 34 years since setting it back in 1990, she was finally caught when current Wolf senior Reese Wilkinson went nuclear at last weekend’s state championships.

The duo both earned 2nd place finishes at the big dance, separated by three and a half decades.

Now, they’ll be united on the track record board in the CHS gym, as Prince still holds the school record in the shot put.

They’ve amassed a mighty mountain of medals

Posted in Track, tagged , , , , on May 28, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Tyler King, still numero uno.

One Tyler King to rule them all.

Through the “modern era” of state high school track and field state meets (1963-2024), no Coupeville athlete has brought home as many medals as Randy and Laurie’s youngest child.

He sits with 11, including two state titles, one slim medal ahead of older brother Kyle, who notched 10 during his CHS days.

This past weekend, three more Wolves — Reese Wilkinson, Axel Marshall, and Nick Guay — joined the club, pushing it to 90 members.

Meanwhile Carly Burt and Cael Wilson each claimed their second career medal, moving up the list.

There are five active Wolves on the list, headed up by Lyla Stuurmans, who has three medals and counting with one more season of eligibility left.

Burt, Wilson, Marshall, and Zac Tackett can also return next spring, as could Monroe Myles, who we’re not currently counting as active, as she didn’t participate this year.

She earned three medals as a sophomore in 2023, however, and could return for a senior swan song.

Reese rocks the joint!

For 34 years, no one has come close to Jennie (Cross) Prince.

Then along came Reese.

Putting together the best afternoon of her track and field career on the final day of her high school athletic career, Coupeville senior Reese Wilkinson made history Saturday at the 2B state championship meet in Yakima.

Chucking the discus 121 feet, 10 inches, she broke her own PR by almost 10 and a half feet and took down the school mark of 120-03 set back in 1990.

While Prince still holds the CHS girls’ record in the shot put — under her maiden name — she was thrilled to see one of her marks finally toppled by the young women who have followed in her footsteps.

“Awesome!!! Congratulations to Reese!!!!” she said.

Wilkinson, like the woman she will replace on the school’s track record board, finished 2nd at state, one of three medals claimed by Coupeville athletes on the final day of the three-day extravaganza.

Sophomore Carly Burt sailed to a 5th place finish in the pole vault, while senior Nick Guay notched another 5th, this one in the high jump.

The trio join freshmen Axel Marshall and junior Cael Wilson, who finished 5th and 8th, respectively, in the pole vault Friday.

Burt and Wilson have two state meet medals to their credit now, with more time to add to that total.

Among active Wolves, they trail only current junior Lyla Stuurmans, who has three to her credit.

Marshall, Guay, and Wilkinson became the 88th, 89th, and 90th Wolves to earn a medal since the modern era of state track and field meets began in 1964.

A teensy-tiny bit of movement.

The Coupeville High School track and field team competed at two meets this past week, closing out the regular season, while retaining its presence on the individual top 10 performance lists.

All five Wolves who were on the chart a week ago are still there, with Lyla Stuurmans appearing twice.

She got bumped down one rung in the 400, as did Katie Marti in the shot put.

Meanwhile, Reese Wilkinson held her spot, but set a PR, lobbing the discus 15 inches further than ever before.

Up next? The Northwest 2B/1B League Championships this Wednesday, May 1 in Mount Vernon.

As the Wolves prep for that meet, with an eye on districts and the state meet after that, a look at where CHS athletes pop up on the top 10 chart for 2B through April 29:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (9th) 1:04.72

Shot Put — Katie Marti (9th) 33-05

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (9th) 107-00

Long Jump — Stuurmans (5th) 15-08

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (3rd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (4th-tie) 11-00

Big city, big results

They squared off with the big-timers and did pretty well.

The Coupeville High School track and field squad traveled to rainy Lynden Thursday and went toe-to-toe, and javelin throw-to-javelin throw with three athletic powerhouses.

The 2A hosts swept to both team titles, while 3A Ferndale, 1A Nooksack Valley, and lil’ 2B Coupeville battled it out behind the Lions.

The Wolves eventually won three individual titles, with Katie Marti (Javelin), Reese Wilkinson (Discus), and Nick Guay (High Jump) occupying the top step on the awards podium.

Overall Coupeville athletes racked up 44 PRs in their next-to-last regular season meet.

Next up is the Sunny and 70’s Invitational at Lakewood High School Saturday (the hammer throw is Friday), and then it’s off to start the postseason jaunt as the calendar flips to May.
