Different state, different school, same great Carolyn Lhamon.

The Wolf grad, a three-sport star whose skills and leadership earned her great respect in the Coupeville community, is still scoring big-time in the classroom and on the field.

Lhamon, a freshman at the Colorado School of Mines, is playing club soccer while also finding some time to study Quantatative Biosciences and BioMed Engineering.

Her pitch squad is off to a 2-0 start after bouncing Colorado College and CU Boulder this past weekend.

Next up for Lhamon and Co. is a game against the US Air Force Academy Preparatory School, with an eight-game schedule playing out across September and October.

“She’s so happy and I’m so proud,” said mom Helene.

While finding the time to excel in multiple outlets is always a tricky balance, the former Wolf ace was a pro at doing just that in her time at CHS.

Lhamon, whose older sister Catherine was also a star student/athlete for the Wolves, played soccer, basketball, and track and field.

Carolyn earned All-Conference honors as a booter, anchored the Coupeville defense on the hardwood, and advanced to state in multiple throwing events.

She capped her senior season of track by claiming 4th place in the shot put at the state championships and was tabbed as the CHS Female Athlete of the Year as a junior.

“The team did amazing!”

It didn’t take Tamsin Ward long to catch people’s attention.

Competing in her first middle school track meet Wednesday, the Coupeville 6th grader captured wins in both the 100 and shot put.

Besting fields of 38 and 14 athletes, respectively, Ward helped spark the CMS 6th/7th grade girls to a team win as well.

The young Wolves finished with 90 points to host South Whidbey’s 77, while Granite Falls and Northshore Christian Academy brought up the rear.

Coupeville finished 2nd in the boys 6th/7th grade team rumble, led by wins from 7th grader Nick Laska in the shot put and discus.

The Wolf 8th grade girls finished 3rd, while the CMS 8th grade boys were 4th in their battle.

Ward and Laska’s double victories led the way as Coupeville won nine events.

7th graders Marin Winger (400), Lillian Ketterling (discus), Shiloh Sandlin (800), and Roger Merino-Martinez (200) also captured the top rung on the ladder, while a girls 4 x 200 squad made up of 7th graders Niella Bryan, Denali Kalwies, Amelia Crowder, and Lisette Bentabou hit the tape first.

With the first meet of the season in the books, CMS coaches were flying high afterwards.

“The team did amazing!” Amber Wyman said. “There were some tears, scrapes and lots of nerves, but these athletes came to compete!

“I am so proud of all they accomplished.”

That was a feeling shared by Jon Gabelein.

“It was a great first meet with lots of top-notch performances!” he said.

“While some athletes may have been nervous about getting out there on week one, they can now take their first PR and generate improvements throughout the season.”

CMS hosts its next two meets, which are set for May 4 and 10.

Third time was the charm.

After rain washed away the first two scheduled matches of the new season, the Coupeville High School girls tennis team finally hit the court in a competitive bout Thursday afternoon.

And it went just as planned, with the Wolves dumping visiting Friday Harbor 5-0 in the first of two battles between the only Northwest 2B/1B League schools to play the sport.

“Twas a good day,” said longtime CHS net guru Ken Stange, whose squad previously had non-conference matchups with South Whidbey and Oak Harbor delayed by liquid sunshine.

 

Complete Thursday results:

 

Varsity:

1st Singles — Abby Muholland won 6-2, 6-4

2nd Singles — Helen Strelow won 6-2, 6-3

1st Doubles — Eryn Wood/Noelle Daigneault won 6-4, 6-3

2nd Doubles — Mary Milnes/Katelin McCormick won 6-2, 6-0

3rd Doubles — Sophie Martin/Lucy Tenore won 6-2, 6-2

 

JV:

4th Doubles — Hayley Fiedler/Vivian Farris won 6-1

5th Doubles — Kim Castro/Leni Raduenz won 6-2

6th Doubles — Sophia Milasich/Yodnum Nakakul lost 6-3

7th Doubles — Maylin Steele/Karyme Castro lost 6-0

Same speed, new team

Posted in Track, Wolves in college, tagged , , , , on March 20, 2021| 1 Comment »

Mallory Kortuem

She’s official.

Coupeville High School grad Mallory Kortuem made her debut as a college athlete Saturday, competing for NCAA D-II Western Washington University.

The former Wolf ran at the Doris Heritage Track Festival at West Seattle Stadium, hitting the tape in the 200 in a crisp 28.75 seconds.

With the ongoing pandemic having shut down spring sports in 2020, Saturday marked the first time in 379 days that WWU track had competed.

Kortuem, who lost her senior track season at CHS, finished her run as a Wolf as one of the most-impressive track and field athletes to wear the red and black.

She claimed four state meet medals, including a 2nd place finish in the 400 as a junior, and joins Maya Toomey-Stout as the only Wolves to appear four times on the school record board.

Kortuem currently holds CHS records in the 400 (58.02) and pole vault (8-10), as well as being part of record-setting 4 x 100 (50.54) and 4 x 200 (1:46.13) relay squads.

The Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Famer, who was also a standout soccer player during her Coupeville days, is studying kinesiology at WWU.

Wright steps into college spotlight

She’s entered a whole new world.

Coupeville grad Sarah Wright became the latest in a string of Wolves to take their game to the next level when she made her collegiate softball debut this weekend.

Wright, now a freshman at Sewanee: the University of the South, played four games in two days in two states, as the Tigers softball team kicked off their 40-game season with back-to-back doubleheaders.

While Sewanee came out on the short end of the score, being swept 8-0 and 10-0 by Judson (Ala), and 3-0 and 6-3 by Fort Valley State (GA), Coupeville’s progeny was a bright spot.

Wright collected two hits, a walk, and her team’s only RBI, which came on a bases-loaded free pass.

While the season is just 10% played, the former Wolf star is tied for the team lead in OBP (on base percentage) and hits.

Sewanee returns to action next weekend, when it hits the road again, playing a doubleheader February 15 against Johnson (TN).

The Tigers play their first 15 games away from their home field in Tennessee, not making their home debut until Mar. 7.

Wright’s season stretches from Feb. to late April.

During her time at CHS, the ever-ebullient one was a four-year star for the softball team, helping carry the Wolves to the state tourney during her senior season, where they beat Dear Park and came within a play of upending Cle Elum.

Wright also had strong stints as a basketball, volleyball, and soccer player, was the class valedictorian, and may have threatened to eat a worm of two to amuse her softball teammates.
