Wolves fling hammer on big stage

One more event, one more big-time stage.

A day after the state track and field championships wrapped up, two Coupeville High School athletes took part in the Washington State Hammer Championships.

Held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, the event is a bit of a wild card, as the hammer throw is not part of the festivities hosted by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

That didn’t deter Wolf senior Katie Marti or freshman Khanor Jump, who were in the thick of things, chucking the implement into the sunny skies.

Marti, coming off a 7th place performance in the shot put at the WIAA shindig, earned 9th Sunday, flinging her hammer 95 feet, eight inches.

Jump, following in the footsteps of older sister Taygin, now a college hammer chucker at Plattsburgh State in New York, was 22nd in the men’s competition with a heave of 95-07.

Kimberly Beard of King’s and Robert Akers of Hermiston claimed the titles.

Overall, 44 high school athletes competed in the event.

Everyone wants some.

State meet medals, that is.

With a new track and field season on the horizon, the journey begins, with Yakima the preferred destination this May.

Advance to the state meet at Zaepfel Stadium at Eisenhower High School, and the Wolves can add to their medal totals or begin the collection process.

Five current stars are among those on the all-time list of CHS athletes who own medals, led by senior Lyla Stuurmans, who has banked three of them.

She’s joined by Carly Burt, Cael Wilson, Axel Marshall, and Zac Tackett, with everyone still chasing the King brothers.

She’s bringing home some more hardware.

Former Coupeville supernova Izzy LeVine, now a junior at Casteel High School in Arizona, claimed fourth place at the state championships over the weekend.

Competing in the 132-pound weight class, the grappler won three of five matches, advancing to the semifinals, and placed for the third consecutive season.

LeVine was also fourth as a sophomore and earned a seventh-place finish as a freshman.

She was a state champ while in junior high.

Izzy is the youngest of Sean and Joline’s three superstar daughters, with older siblings Micky and Jae both having been inducted into the Coupeville Sports Hall o’ Fame for their accomplishments during their days as student athletes at CHS.

One final state splash, then recovery

Still sick, still in the water.

Battling his way through a double ear infection, Coupeville High School junior Finn Price completed his run at the state swim championships Saturday morning.

The Lone Wolf finished fifth in the 100 free consolation finals, hitting the wall in 52.93 seconds, after swimming in the 100 and 200 free prelim events Friday.

This was his second appearance at the 1A/2A championships, having also earned a trip to the King County Aquatic Center as a sophomore.

Price, the only active male swimmer at Coupeville, a 2B school which doesn’t have its own pool or team, trains and travels with South Whidbey during the regular season.

The group hooks up with 4A Kamiak, then the small-school swimmers go their own way during the postseason.

Price splashes past sickness to compete at state

Nothing can keep The Lone Wolf down, apparently.

Having qualified for the state swim meet for a second straight season, Coupeville High School junior Finn Price was bound and determined to be in the water Friday.

And he was, slicing through the wetness at the King County Aquatic Center … despite being in the ER at the crack of dawn with a double ear infection.

Both his coach and parents preached caution, but Price wasn’t going to miss out on his chance, even though his body is fighting him every step of the way.

The Wolf water wizard, who reps a 2B school, but has to compete against rivals from bigger schools in the 1A/2A championships, finished 11th in the 100 free prelims and 18th in the 200 free.

His times of 52.46 and 1:57.00 were better than decent, but not what he had aimed for at the start of the season.

“He was lucky to swim at all today and it was touch and go with his coach,” said mom Rachel Price.

“He feels pretty awful and of course, sad about the whole thing actually as he was predicting bigger things this season and was setting up that way.

“I’m just impressed he was able to do a single turn, and he wouldn’t take a “no” on staying out of the pool.”

Price, if his body cooperates, is slated to swim in the consolation finals Saturday in the 100 free.

During his three years at CHS, the aquatic ace has been the only active male swimmer at the school, which does not have its own pool, or team.

Price joins swimmers from South Whidbey, with the group training and traveling with 4A Kamiak during the regular season.
