Tyler King, still numero uno.

One Tyler King to rule them all.

Through the “modern era” of state high school track and field state meets (1963-2024), no Coupeville athlete has brought home as many medals as Randy and Laurie’s youngest child.

He sits with 11, including two state titles, one slim medal ahead of older brother Kyle, who notched 10 during his CHS days.

This past weekend, three more Wolves — Reese Wilkinson, Axel Marshall, and Nick Guay — joined the club, pushing it to 90 members.

Meanwhile Carly Burt and Cael Wilson each claimed their second career medal, moving up the list.

There are five active Wolves on the list, headed up by Lyla Stuurmans, who has three medals and counting with one more season of eligibility left.

Burt, Wilson, Marshall, and Zac Tackett can also return next spring, as could Monroe Myles, who we’re not currently counting as active, as she didn’t participate this year.

She earned three medals as a sophomore in 2023, however, and could return for a senior swan song.

As one season slips away, and the work already begins for another for some, a look at the CHS all-time medal count:

 

Tyler King (11) – Two state titles, five 2nd, two 4th, one 6th, one 8th

You can’t get in the door unless you earned some hardware.

Scanning the internet for high school track and field state meet accomplishments, you can find results back to 1963, with 87 Coupeville athletes owning at least one medal.

Five of those Wolves are active, with sophomores Lyla Stuurmans, Monroe Myles, Cael Wilson, and Zac Tackett joined by freshman Carly Burt.

The just-concluded 2023 season was a particularly productive one, as 10 of the 13 CHS athletes to medal at this year’s state meet were first-timers.

In addition to the aforementioned five underclassmen, Wolf seniors Carolyn Lhamon, Tate Wyman, Tim Ursu, Claire Mayne, and state champ Alex Murdy all joined the club in their final go-round.

Rounding out the award-winners were a trio of seniors who all brought home glory during their junior season as well.

Dominic Coffman and Ryanne Knoblich capped their prep track careers with two medals apiece, while Aidan Wilson amassed five across two trips to the big dance.

“I’m still … The King,” whispers Kyle.

Welcome to the club.

Enjoying the first state track and field meet in three springs after a pandemic shutdown, Coupeville High School athletes got back to doing what they do.

Bringing home medals.

Six Wolves earned their first chunk of state meet glory Friday and Saturday in Cheney, with Dominic Coffman, Reiley Araceley, Ryanne Knoblich, Caleb Meyer, Aidan Wilson, and Logan Martin stepping onto the awards podium.

That brings the CHS state meet medal club to 77 athletes all-time, with those track stars accounting for 187 awards.

From that club, Kyle King has the most state titles, edging Natasha Bamberger 5-4, though the latter also owns a cross country crown.

But Kyle’s younger brother, Tyler, is tops in total medals, and the duo, joined by sister Brianne, are one of three Wolf families to produce three medal winners.

The Hoskins sisters (Jai’Lysa, Ja’Tarya, Ja’Kenya) and the Toomey-Stouts (Cameron, Maya, Sean) are the others, while the Martin (Dalton, Logan) and Hack (Joy, Kevin) families also have sibling winners.

The Fords (Jordan and Uncle Tony) and Roberts (Lindsey and Uncle Jay) are also in the game, with the Beplers (Ariah and dad Mark) the only time a CHS medal winner has sired a future medal winner.

So far.

Our final connection is Yashmeen Knox and Rich Wilson, who both still own school records in the high jump 20+ years after graduation.

They’re the only Wolf duo to win state meet medals, then later marry.

So far.

They’re chasing history, one race at a time.

When a new track and field season starts a week from today, six Wolves will step into the first day of practice having already won at least one medal at the state meet.

Five of those CHS athletes are seniors, with one a sophomore.

Leading the pack of potential returnees is Mallory Kortuem, who’s snagged four medals, including a 2nd in the 400 last season.

Earn some more hardware in Cheney this May, and the quicksilver sprinter/relay ace can finish her prep career as one of the most-decorated CHS female athletes ever.

Tied with Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove currently, Kortuem is hot on the heels of Yashmeen Knox (five medals), Natasha Bamberger (6), Makana Stone (7), and Lindsey Roberts (8).

Should she finish atop the podium at the state meet — Alma Manzo of Conell, who nipped her in the 400, has graduated — and Kortuem would exit with an even-bigger moment.

There have been nine state champs from CHS, but only two female winners.

Bamberger won four track titles and a cross country crown in the ’80s, with Amy Mouw claiming the 800 title in 2003.

While Kortuem is on the cusp of immortality, she has some company, with fellow seniors Maya Toomey-Stout and Jean Lund-Olsen entering their final campaign having already collected three state meet medals apiece.

Wolf 12th graders Sean Toomey-Stout (2) and Ja’Tarya Hoskins (1), and 10th grader Ja’Kenya Hoskins (1) also boast shiny hardware of their own.

As a new track and field season comes hurtling towards Wolf fans, athletes, and coaches, a look at the all-time CHS state meet medal count, covering the modern era of 1963-2019:
