It was the little rumble before the big battle.

Three Coupeville High School track and field athletes traveled to Snohomish High School Friday to take part in the hammer throw at the Sunny and 70! Invitational.

The remainder of the meet, which has 30 teams signed up, goes down Saturday at Lakewood High School.

Friday it was just about tossin’ the hammer, and CHS had juniors Katie Marti and Mason Butler and senior Erica McGrath in the field.

Marti finished 9th with a throw of 75 feet, three inches, while McGrath was 11th with a chuck of 59-10.

Butler placed 16th among the male competitors at 67-08.

Sophomore Kimberly Beard of King’s and senior Calvin Gutierrez of Mariner won individual titles.

Can’t hold ’em down.

Despite being the only “B” school in the 26-team field, Coupeville High School track and field held its own Saturday at the Sunny and 70 Invitational in Lakewood.

The Wolves claimed 13th in the boys’ standings and 14th in the girls, while 4A Kamiak (boys) and 3A Stanwood (girls) took home team titles.

Plus, the Wolves finished ahead of next-door neighbor South Whidbey, a 1A school, on both sides of the ledger, always a sweet cherry on top of the sundae.

The popular meet drew three 4A schools, four from 3A, seven from 2A, and 11 from 1A to go with 2B Coupeville.

Things actually started Friday with the hammer throw, and Wolf senior Taygin Jump made her debut in the event, finishing 9th against seasoned competitors.

Saturday’s meet, in which Coupeville athletes scored 11 PR’s, was the last regular-season event on the schedule.

The Wolves travel to La Conner Wednesday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

After that is the district meet, held May 13 in Coupeville, and the state meet May 27-29 in Yakima.

“What a fun invite it was!”

Adapt, adapt, adapt.

The plucky Coupeville High School track squad did just that Saturday at the Lakewood Sunny and 70s! Invitational.

Adjusting to ever-changing weather, not worrying about being the smallest of 22 schools in attendance, and boldly trying new events, the Wolves made a positive impression.

“What a fun invite it was!” said CHS girls coach Elizabeth Bitting. “All in all a good time was had!”

The day began cloudy and rainy but ended in sunshine, with Coupeville athletes getting their first try at events like the steeplechase and the 4 x 800 relay.

Wolves Reiley Araceley and Cameron Epp took a crack at the steeplechase — which involves navigating obstacles and frequently landing in water after jumping — though their times remain a mystery.

But they’re not the only ones, as the timing system was set up wrong for the event.

Because of the mistake, race officials also found themselves with no video of the event, preventing anyone from going back and creating times by hand.

So, we’ll say Araceley and Epp covered the 2K course in like 45 seconds.

Speedy, yes I know, but you can’t prove me wrong, so…

Meanwhile, back in reality land, Wolf junior Ryanne Knoblich landed on the award stand, taking top honors in the high jump.

She cleared the bar at four feet, 10 inches, tying her PR and leaving her four inches shy of the CHS girls all-time record of 5-02, set by Yashmeen Knox in 1999.

Knoblich and Co. have four more chances to chase school records, with the postseason schedule sliding into place.

First up is the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships, set for next Wednesday, May 4 in La Conner.

After that, districts go down May 14 in Coupeville, bi-districts May 20 in Centralia, and the state meet May 26-28 in Cheney.
