They’re going to need the big van.
With one half of the West Central District 3 track and field meet in the books, 11 Coupeville High School athletes have punched their ticket to the state meet in Cheney.
Five of those Wolves have qualified in more than one event, and CHS still has another day to add to that list.
Coupeville returns to Bremerton Saturday morning for Day 2 of the district meet.
When it does, CHS will be in the mix for two team titles, as well.
Both the Wolf girls and boys sit in second place among the nine 1A schools competing.
Bellevue Christian leads 72-54 in the boys race, while Charles Wright Academy is up 73-55 on the Wolf girls.
Over the course of several hours Friday afternoon, the Wolves opened the meet by vanquishing foes from the Olympic and Nisqually Leagues en route to winning five district crowns.
Makana Stone (400), Dalton Martin (discus), Jacob Smith (100) and both the girls 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay squads (Lindsey Roberts, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt and Stone) stood atop the awards podium.
A top four finish at districts is what is needed to earn a trip to state (May 26-28).
Joining the district winners in being Eastbound are Roberts (2nd in the 100 hurdles), Skyler Lawrence (3rd/shot put), Martin (3rd/javelin), Mitchell Carroll (3rd/triple jump), Jordan Ford (3rd/pole vault), Connor Thompson (4th/triple jump) and Henry Wynn (4th/1600).
Especially noteworthy were Ford and Martin, who both had stellar performances.
Ford smashed his own school record in the pole vault, raising it by three inches, while Martin launched the javelin almost 11 feet(!!) further than his previous-best.
