Is there anything Sylvia Hurlburt can’t do?

No. The answer is no.

The Coupeville High School junior is an accomplished track runner, ballet star and cheerleader and now she’s putting all the other photographers to shame with her mad skills behind the camera.

It’s Sylvia’s world. We’re just living in it.

Jump

This is exactly how they warm up every day. True story.

Track practice is not for running, it’s for goofing off with the cameraman.

On his way to snap pics at the CHS boys’ soccer game Wednesday, John Fisken stopped by the track oval and convinced some of the gathered Wolves to pose for him.

The pics above capture some of the most fleet-footed young men and women in Cow Town, doing what they do best … posing for photos.

Oh yeah, they’re pretty good at running too.

But, priorities please. Photos above all else. Always.

Lauren Bayne

Makana

   The brief moment when (l to r) Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lathom Kelley are slow enough to be photographed.

Two state championships.

If the season ended now, two months early, that’s what the Coupeville High School girls’ track team would own.

The Wolves currently own the fastest time in both the 400 (Makana Stone) and 4 x 200 relay (Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt, Stone) among all 1A schools who have reported on athletic.net.

Of course, the season doesn’t end until May, so any mythical titles will have to wait, but CHS has come out of the gate strongly.

The Wolves currently sit in the Top 10 for 1A in seven different events:

GIRLS:

200 — Makana Stone (5th) 27.17

400 — Stone (1st) 1:01.09

4 x 100 — Marisa Etzell, Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt (2nd) 53.13

4 x 200 — Pelroy, Grove, Hurlburt, Stone (1st) 1:52.69

4 x 400 — Etzell, Pelroy, Stone, Lauren Bayne (5th) 4:31.31

BOYS:

200 — Lathom Kelley (4th) 23.83

4 x 100 — Jacob Smith, Jared Helmstadter, Dalton Martin, Kelley (8th) 46.87

It wasn’t his longest throw ever, but it had the biggest impact.

Launching the discus a season-best 114 feet, two inches Saturday at the Port Angeles Invitational, Wolf junior Dalton Martin captured the first win of his three-year CHS track career.

His exploits, besting an 11-man field at the 13-team meet, earned him the spotlight along side the girls’ 4 x 200 relay unit (Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt and Makana Stone), which destroyed all foes in claiming their own title.

Led by the relay win, and several third-place finishes, the Coupeville girls finished sixth in the team standings.

They beat 2A Kingston, outpaced Olympic League rivals Klahowya and Port Townsend and had the best finish of any 1A school.

The Wolf boys, who have a thinner roster, finished ninth.

The meet drew six 2A schools, four 1A schools and three 1B schools for an afternoon of competition.

CHS track coach Randy King

CHS track coach Randy King hangs out with the fleet-footed (l to r) Lauren Bayne, Lauren Grove and Abby Parker.

One meet, two big wins.

Well, three if you count the 4 x 100 relay, where the Coupeville High School girls track team cruised to victory.

Though, as Sylvia Hurlburt admitted later with a smile, “We were running by ourselves.”

Competing for the first time this season, the Wolves got wins from Makana Stone (400) and Lathom Kelley (200) at the four-team Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor Thursday.

Kelley set a PR in claiming his win, while Stone was nipped in the 200 — losing to South Whidbey’s Bailey Forsyth by .06 of a second — narrowly preventing her from being a double winner.

Hurlburt teamed up with Marisa Etzell, Lauren Grove and Kirsten Pelroy to “win” the relay, though, as the only school to enter a team in the race, they were competing against only the clock.

The meet drew all three Whidbey Island schools, 1A Coupeville and South Whidbey and 3A Oak Harbor, as well as 2A Lakewood.

Complete Wolf results:

GIRLS:

100 — Sylvia Hurlburt (6th) 14.0; Marisa Etzell (10th) 14.29
