They defeated their greatest opponent – inactivity.

Coupeville High School track and field stars haven’t competed since March 28, but four Wolves have stubbornly held on to their spots on the Top 10 lists for 2B athletes.

Three of the four saw their rankings slip just a bit, as other teens had a chance to post new times and heights, but now it’ll be their turn.

The quartet, and their teammates, return to action this coming Saturday, with an appearance at the Forks Lion Club Invitational.

After that the Wolves have four more regular season meets as April plays out, before beginning the postseason run in May.

As classes start back up, and CHS track returns to the day-to-day grind, a look at where Cow Town sits among 2B’s best:

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (7th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (8th-tie) 7-00

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (5th-tie) 11-00

Fab four among state’s best

The margin is incredibly thin.

As the high school track and field season plays out, the best performance in each event constantly fluctuates. If you didn’t deliver this week, you might not be around next week.

That’s true for Coupeville, which had eight athletes appearing in the Top 10 lists for 2B schools last Monday, but only claims four berths this time around.

Wolf junior Lyla Stuurmans is still the gold standard in Cow Town, but she took the hardest hit, going from four appearances (800, 1600, 3200, 300 hurdles) to none.

Also dropping out, for the moment at least, are Carson Field (800), Issabel Johnson (Pole Vault), and Preston Epp (400).

With spring break upon us, Coupeville has no meets until April 13, but then has the stretch run with five rumbles during the second half of the month.

As we twiddle our thumbs until then, a look at the Wolves currently holding down a spot in the Top 10:

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (5th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (7th-tie) 7-00

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

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

Wolves among state’s best

It’s complicated.

With an entire state recording and posting times and distances, things naturally ebb and flow as the high school track season develops.

A look at the top 10 marks for 2B athletes bears that out, as names appear, vanish, then reappear as meet after meet plays out.

Often things change when something is caught, as when meet officials realize too late the runners in a 3200 only completed seven, and not eight laps.

And sometimes we wait for others to catch up with us, as in the case of Coupeville senior jumper Nick Guay.

The statewide stats list him in a tie for the fourth-best mark in 2B this season in the high jump at five feet, 10 inches, but he actually should be in a tie for #2 as he cleared 6-00 in the Mar. 13 season opener at La Conner.

But while those top 10 lists may be a work in progress, they are a good jumping off point for seeing who’s red-hot at the moment.

And her name is Lyla Stuurmans.

The Wolf junior is currently in the top 10 in four different categories, as she merrily bounces from event to event, trying out (and frequently conquering) each new challenge.

There’s still plenty of season left, and plenty more events for Stuurmans to dominate, but here’s where things sit among all 2B athletes through Mar. 25.

We think.

GIRLS:

800 — Lyla Stuurmans (7th) 2:39.59

1600 — Stuurmans (9th) 6:15.89

3200 —Stuurmans (9th) 14:21.98

300 Hurdles — Stuurmans (7th) 53.35

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (5th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (5th-tie) 7-00; Issabel Johnson (10th-tie) 6-06

BOYS:

400 — Preston Epp (9th) 54.97

800 — Carson Field (10th) 2:16.15

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

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

Welcoming six other schools to Cow Town Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team put on a show, picking up eight wins and 55 PR’s.

That carried the Wolves to a pair of team titles, as well, with the boys rolling and the girls pulling out a thriller.

Coupeville’s male athletes finished with 144.6 points, well ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which tallied 117.5.

La Conner (115.2) closed out the top three, with Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, Lopez Island, and Concrete rounding out the remainder of the team title chase.

On the girls’ side of things, individual wins from Reese Wilkinson (Discus), Lyla Stuurmans (1600), and Carly Burt (Pole Vault) propelled the Wolves to a 137-135 win over MVC.

La Conner tallied 127 points, with Lopez, Friday Harbor, and Orcas well back.

Reese Wilkinson lets it rip in the discus, an event she won.

Coupeville senior Nick Guay paced the boys’ squad, winning the high jump and running a leg on triumphant 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay units.

Other winners included Carson Field (3200) and Cael Wilson (Pole Vault).

Preston Epp joined Guay in running on both victorious relay teams, with Hank Milnes, Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim, Wilson, and Marquette Cunningham each appearing once.

While the Wolves excelled in the spotlight, CHS coach Bob Martin also paid tribute to the many people who stepped up to help the school pull off a successful home meet.

“The day was not solely about the athletes competing on the track today,” he said. “It was equally about the volunteers from our community and the competing teams who came together; we were impressed!”

Keeping an eagle eye on things.

Martin also praised athletes and coaches from Coupeville’s rival schools.

“The day presented its fair share of challenges,” he said.

“Despite encountering some delays due to technical issues with our camera system, we were impressed by the patience and support demonstrated by the teams in attendance.”

Coupeville’s younger athletes will get back at it this Saturday, Mar. 23, when they compete at the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

The full Wolf roster returns to action Mar. 28 with a Northwest 2B/1B League meet in Mount Vernon.

“I have been so lucky to meet these wonderful people and be a part of this team.”

Spirit ace Jayden Cooks captured the feelings of her fellow cheerleaders and Coupeville High School girls’ basketball stars as they joined together to celebrate Senior Night Friday.

They thanked their parents, their coaches, and, maybe most of all, their teammates, for being supportive as the journey has unfolded.

“You have all become my very close friends over the years,” said hardwood hero Kayla Arnold.

“You guys are the most incredible teammates I could ever want, and I’m so glad I’ve had a chance to play with all of you.”
