They went a long way for a lot of PRs.

Having made it off the Island — unlike the high school softball squad, which was left high and dry by a low tide — the Coupeville Middle School track and field team made it to the mainland Tuesday and wandered down to Sequim.

Once there, the Wolves put on a run ‘n gun show, battling their hosts and Forks in a three-team meet.

“LOTS of PR’s!!!!,” said a very happy coach, Elizabeth Bitting, after she, fellow track guru Bob Martin and their team completed the long trek and finally made it back home.

The track sheets I have only listed yesterday’s times, though, so you’ll have to guess where the records were set.

Think of it as a fun little side game.

Julia Borges, here enjoying a moment with fellow foreign exchange student Santiago Ortiz, was on fire on the court Monday.

Who’s the big school now?

Ignoring the disparity in their student bodies, 1A Coupeville went out and drilled 2A Sequim Monday in a battle of tennis titans.

Playing on a surprisingly toasty Whidbey afternoon, the hometown Wolves strolled to a 6-1 non-conference victory over the visiting Wolves, lifting their season record to 9-3.

CHS will close the regular season with a home match against Chimacum Wednesday, then head to the league tourney May 10.

Facing off with a school that came in with a 9-5 record of its own, Coupeville slammed the gas pedal down hard, ripping through its first four matches in near-record time.

Whether it was Valen Trujillo ripping off winners from the baseline, Sage Renninger launching epic moon-balls or Julia Borges having the match of her life, painting the corners of the court with a variety of dazzling shots, the Wolves were red hot.

Complete results:

Varsity:

1st singles — Valen Trujillo won 6-2, 6-3

“Valen faced a hard-hitting but streaky opponent,” said Coupeville coach Ken Stange. “She was very steady, able to break her opponent’s serve at the right times. After a mid-season rough patch, she’s found her groove.”

2nd singles — Sydney Autio won 6-1, 6-1

“Sydney was on and off the court in the blink of an eye.

“Her opponent was a hard hitter, which Sydney loves. She mixed blistering pace with soft touch.

“She’s come up huge for us, all season long. I can’t wait for her to play in the league tourney, where I anticipate she will meet her teammate (Valen) in the finals.”

3rd singles — Bree Daiugneault lost 6-2, 6-1

1st doubles — Sage Renninger/Payton Aparicio won 6-3, 6-1

“They flat out dominated their opponents. They took advantage of our back fences being so close to the baseline by hitting lobs that were high and deep, leaving their opponents unable to get a racket on the ball. They were masters of the situation today.”

2nd doubles — McKenzie Bailey/Jazmine Franklin won 6-2, 6-0

“They were the dominant Salt N Pepa combo that has produced huge wins for two years.

“They were loose, they hit hard, and they had a lot of fun out there. I just adore their ability to take their foes out behind the woodshed for a serious beating!”

3rd doubles — Maggie Crimmins/Kameryn St Onge won 8-5 (pro set)

“These two, after a rough start to the season, have really found their groove.

“Kam plays consistent, while Maggie loves to hit the ball with a great deal of pace.

“I can see her confidence beginning to bubble up to the surface. It’s perfect timing, too. We will need it moving forward!”

4th doubles — Julia Borges/Julianne Sem won 6-1, 3-2 (match called for ferry)

“Both of them played with a consistency that befuddled their foes. They too have peaked at the right time.”

JV:

1st singles — Kenzi LaRue won 6-0

“Kenzi absolutely dominated her opponent.

“She came up big, like she did against Chimacum, when she provided the deciding point in the win.”

Wolves win! Wolves win! Wrong Wolves…

Senior booter Zane Bundy (left), who missed most of last year with an injury, scored his first goal of the season Tuesday.

Some days you’re the big dog and some days you’re not.

Tuesday was one of those days when not much went right for the home town guys, as 2A Sequim came to Whidbey and polished off 1A Coupeville’s baseball and boys’ soccer squads in record time.

The visiting Wolves broke open a 2-2 tie on the pitch and romped past the host Wolves 7-2, just hours after Sequim jumped on Coupeville for eight runs in the first inning en route to a 13-1 romp on the diamond.

The non-conference losses dropped the CHS booters to 0-3 and the hardball squad to 2-3.

Both Coupeville teams get a bit of a break now, with several days to work on things before they face another live opponent.

Baseball returns to action with a trip to Friday Harbor Saturday, the first of a stretch in which it plays six of seven on the road.

Soccer is home through early April, but doesn’t play again until next Tuesday, Mar. 29, when the Wolves host Vashon Island.

The Coupeville booters struck early Tuesday, netting goals from Zane Bundy (his first of the season) and Abraham Leyva (his third in as many games).

But defensive miscues hurt the Wolves in the latter stages of the game, allowing Sequim to break open a 2-2 tie and eventually run away with what became a one-sided affair.

Coupeville has now been outscored 18-5 in its opening three games.

Over on the baseball diamond, things took a quick, and painful turn for the Wolves, as Sequim came out swinging from the heels.

A double, an RBI single, a three-run home run that cleared the fence in left with room to spare and another RBI single plated five runs before Coupeville could get a single out in the top of the first.

Sequim tacked on three more before the first frame was done, with the only saving grace being that two of the runs came home on a fielder’s choice and a sac fly, generating outs.

Making his first appearance this season, sophomore Julian Welling came on in relief in the first and provided the one bright, shining ray of hope for Coupeville.

He got out of the inning, finishing things with a come-backer to the mound, then crushed an RBI single in his first at-bat of 2016, plating CJ Smith in the bottom of the first.

Unfortunately, while Welling pitched strongly, retiring the first eight batters he faced, Coupeville’s offense went into a deep funk after his RBI single.

A third-inning single from Hunter Smith and a fifth-inning walk to pinch-hitter Cameron Toomey-Stout was all the Wolf hitters could come up with as the game moved quickly to its conclusion.

“It was a learning game,” Coupeville coach Marc Aparicio said. “Gave us a chance to mix people around and slowly rotate in guys who were returning (after being out the first four games).

“After this, we’ll put our best team forward, go for it and come out strongly.”

Strong until the end!!

Wolf 8th graders (l to r) Emma Mathusek, Scout Smith and Maya Toomey-Stout are all expected to make the leap to high school hoops next winter.

They closed strongly.

Bringing their season to an end a game earlier than expected Monday, the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads came within an errant pass or two of winning two of three on the road in Sequim.

Both of the Wolf varsity teams fell, while the 8th grade JV came away victorious.

Coupeville, which was scheduled to play 10 games this season, will only get nine in the books.

Port Townsend postponed a trip to Whidbey Mar. 10 because a power outage at Blue Heron Middle School cancelled classes that day.

While CMS coaches tried to work out a replacement date, BHMS administrators refused to reschedule, leaving the Wolf girls with one less game than expected.

In their final outing, the 8th grade JV was impeccable, strolling to a 29-26 win in a game limited to three quarters by the call of the ferry.

Cassidy Moody rained down 12 points — eight in the second quarter — while Megan Thorn tickled the twines for all eight of her points in the third quarter.

Tia Wurzrainer banked home five and Seraina Weatherford notched four to round out the scoring sheet.

The 8th grade varsity almost made it two-for-two, but a late rally fell just short and the Wolves succumbed 29-25.

Trailing by five with 1:30 to play, Coupeville pulled to within a single point, only to have two errant passes seal its fate at the very end.

“It was nearly a perfect ending,” said CMS 8th grade coach Bob Martin. “It was an exciting game to end the season.

“I’m excited to see that we have a lot of eighth graders moving up to high school next season!,” he added. “I’m very proud of them and am thankful for the opportunity to have coached them.

“Their work ethic, teamwork, and lack of individualism are admirable. I look forward to seeing their banners on the wall in the future.”

Noted defensive ball-hawk Avalon Renninger capped her middle school hoops career with a team-high 11, while Scout Smith (7), Hannah Davidson (6) and Emma Mathusek (1) chipped in to the scoring effort.

The CMS 7th graders, who played most of the season with a super-small roster, went out just as scrappy as ever.

Though they fell 46-13 to a very-deep Sequim team, the Wolves — who played the end of the game with just four players after Morgan Pease and Genna Wright fouled out — were still rumbling until the final buzzer.

“Final game was a good fight. We battled for the whole game,” 7th grade coach Ryan King said.

Chelsea Prescott capped the season with five points, giving her 97 in 8.5 games (11.4 ppg), best by any Wolf varsity player, 7th or 8th grade.

Pease dropped in four, Wright popped for three and Mollie Bailey sank a free throw.

“I am very proud of these girls for what they accomplished this season,” King said. “From beginning of the season to the end, they improved so much and it was a lot of fun to watch and a lot of fun to coach them.

“They fought in every game and really showed everyone that Coupeville is ready for any challenge in front of them,” he added. “I enjoyed being their coach this year.”

Final 7th/8th grade varsity scoring stats:

Chelsea Prescott 97
Avalon Renninger 60
Scout Smith 59
Hannah Davidson 55
Genna Wright 32
Morgan Pease 29
Maya Toomey-Stout 24
Mollie Bailey 23

Nothing but net!!

Pop-pop-pop.

Or, maybe, swish-swish-swish.

Once the Coupeville Middle School 8th grade girls’ basketball squad locked on Thursday, they were dead-eye shooters, riding a wave of shots that tickled the twine to a 29-24 win over visiting Sequim.

The victory, which lifted the Wolves to 3-2 on the season, put a most pleasant cap on a day in which CMS had dropped the first two games to their much-larger rivals.

Coupeville fell 43-32 in the 7th grade varsity game and 32-20 in the 8th grade JV contest.

The nightcap was worth the price of admission, though (if they charged for middle school sports, which they don’t).

A tightly-fought affair with nine lead changes and six ties, the game was a war of attrition until Coupeville made its move late in the third quarter.

Trailing 20-19, the Wolves closed the quarter with back-to-back buckets that would have made Steph Curry nod and smile in appreciation.

First Avalon Renninger lofted a one-hander while on the move that hit nothing but net on its way down, then Maya Toomey-Stout banked home a miracle shot from the right corner as time ran down.

Not content to stop there, Coupeville opened the fourth with lil’ Emma Mathusek abusing two Sequim players, ripping down a rebound and exploding back up through them for the game-clinching bucket.

Sequim twice got the lead back down to three points, but each time the Wolves answered.

Hannah Davidson knocked down a shot in the paint, then Mathusek put a bow on things, dropping a ball off the glass for the game’s final bucket.

The frantic finale brought an end to a game that started with a monster blocked shot by Davidson and featured some especially sweet shot-making by the Wolves.

Renninger, in particular, was in a special zone, with nearly all of her made shots barely making the net move.

Not to be outdone, Wolf point guard Scout Smith, who actually led CMS in scoring with nine points, nailed a three-ball from the top that brought a roar from her fan section.

A relentless ball-hawk much of the evening, Renninger finished with eight to back Smith, while Toomey-Stout (5), Mathusek (4) and Davidson (3) all chipped in, as the starting five, who played the entire 32 minutes, all scored.

7th grade rallies:

Coupeville, which had only six girls, got stronger as the game wore on, actually winning the second-half battle to a 20-15 tune.

While it wasn’t quite enough to pull out the win, the scrappiness displayed by the Wolves (2-3) left coach Ryan King with a smile on his face.

Chelsea Prescott torched the nets for a game-high 14 to pace Coupeville, while Morgan Pease banged away inside for eight, Genna Wright knocked down six and Mollie Bailey popped for four.

Luci Coleburn and Catherine Lhamon didn’t score, but both stepped up with hustle plays, chasing loose balls down and pestering Sequim shooters until the final whistle.

JV hurt by rough first quarter:

Take away the first eight minutes, when the Wolves were drilled 14-4, and it was a close game.

Coupeville saved its best for last, rallying to take the fourth quarter 11-4 behind six points from Cassidy Moody.

Moody led the Wolves with 10, while Megan Thorn (5), Tia Wurzrainer (3) and Seraina Weatherford (2) also scored.
