Mitchell Carroll

   When he wasn’t strumming his guitar, Mitchell Carroll finished 3rd in the triple jump.

The competition was deep, but Coupeville rose to the occasion.

Competing at the 13-team Port Angeles Invitational Saturday, the Wolf track team racked up 26 PRs, with an especially strong showing on the girls side of the competition.

The Wolf girls, sparked by a second-place showing in the 200 from Sylvia Hurlburt, and thirds in the 100 hurdles (Lindsey Roberts) and discus (Skyler Lawrence) placed 7th as a team.

That was the best showing by a 1A school, putting them ahead of Olympic League rivals Klahowya and Chimacum, as well as non-conference foe Forks and three 1B schools.

Sequim took the title, with the top six schools all being 2A.

On the boys side, 2A North Kitsap finished on top, while Coupeville, whose best showing was a third in the triple jump from Mitchell Carroll, placed 11th overall in the team race.

Teams were allowed to have one competitor in each varsity event, with everyone else competing as JV athletes.

Jordan Ford took home Coupeville’s lone title on the day, winning the JV long jump.

Friday didn’t really feel all that much like tennis weather.

The sun crawled away, the wind got blustery and guess what? Buckle up, cause if past springs are any indication, it’ll probably be like that more often than not.

Experienced netters came to practice wearing several layers, as Coupeville prepared for a season in which it will defend its 1A Olympic League crown.

The first real match is not until Mar. 14 (home against non-league foe Granite Falls), but the Wolves will be battle-ready (or at least weather-ready) by then.

   Completing the maneuver, Makana not only wins the tip, but is able to flip it right to her intended target.

"Hey, remember that time when you beat me for a tip? Yeah, me neither."

“Hey, remember that time when you beat me for a tip? Yeah, me neither.”

In four years I have never witnessed Makana Stone lose an opening tip.

Ever.

As the Coupeville High School senior winds her way through her final prep season (she and her Wolf teammates head back to Sumner Friday for a loser-out district playoff game versus Seattle Christian), that still amazes me.

I’ve seen some pretty fair athletes work the center circle, but every once in awhile, most slip up and lose a tip.

With Makana, who has height, crazy hops and the uncanny ability to twist her body while in mid-flight, it has been utter domination.

So take a moment or two to scroll through the series of pics above, which come to us courtesy CHS cheer queen/camera goddess Sylvia Hurlburt, and watch an artist at work.

One weekend left.

Whidbey Island Dance Theatre’s 23rd annual production of “The Nutcracker” wraps this coming Friday-Sunday, with four performances.

While the performances are held at the South Whidbey High School Performing Arts Center (5675 Maxwelton Rd. in Langley) the ballet features a number of Coupeville High School performers.

From seasoned pros like Sylvia Hurlburt and Skyy Lippo to semi-seasoned pros like Cameron Toomey-Stout and newcomers like Joey Lippo, there’s a Wolf on stage at almost every moment.

The final shows are:

Fri-18 — 7:30 PM

Sat-19 — 2:00 and 7:30

Sun-20 — 2:00

Mia Littlejohn

“At my signal, unleash Hell, Wolves!!”

Is there anything Sylvia Hurlburt doesn’t do?

No, the answer is no, cause she does it all. And she does it all really, really well.

Cheerleader, choreographer, track star, ballet dancer, and, of course, photographer with mad skills.

All of those words describe the ever-moving, ever-grooving Coupeville High School senior.

Her latest work, which she is nice enough to let me unleash onto the masses, is this collection of girls’ basketball photos.

The eight pics above are just a small fraction of what she shot — I’ll continue to drop Hurlburt originals on you as the season unfolds — but they give you a solid taste of what she’s up to when she gets let loose with a camera.
