The final run begins.

With the start of fall sports practices this week, athletes from the Coupeville High School Class of 2025 begin their senior seasons.

And yet, in a shameless bid to make Wolf Moms cry (happy) tears, we present evidence that these upperclassmen were just lil’ kids a moment ago.

“I’m gonna set this court on fire!”

The eye healed, but his love for the sport continued to blossom.

“I am a one-woman tornado of terror on the diamond, and I’m coming for all your titles!!”

The wrecking crew.

Birth of a flamethrower.

A young Jada Heaton, making catches that shocked even her hat.

Ember Light and Hunter Bronec were freshmen royalty. Can they snag a repeat as seniors?

“Oh, they’re gonna need a first aid kit when I’m done with them!!”

“This is our court now, ya old farts!!”

“Me? I crank homeruns and take names all day, baby.”

Take a dive back into Coupeville track and field history, and see how many future stars you can ID along the way. (Photo courtesy Ian Somes)

The alumni are ready to do one more sprint drill.

Thanks to a photo found in an old album, the 1994-1995 Coupeville Middle School track and field squad lives again.

A big part of the fun of unearthing pics like this is trying to recognize the younger versions of athletes who went on to be stars.

After some back-and-forth on Facebook, we know Michael Meyer, Jess Roundy, Devyn Barron, April Ellsworth-Bagby, Kellen Ward, David Torres and others are present.

So, how many can you ID?

With Meyer (second from left, bottom row) rockin’ his middle school mane of curly hair, he was the first I knew for sure.

When this photo was taken, he, and the other members of the CHS Class of 2000, were in 7th grade.

Meanwhile, I was in my first year of working for his mom, Miriam, having started my 12-year run at Videoville in Oct., 1994.

So that means … checks my notes … I’m old.

Who among you is ready to get artistic and go back to the future?
