It’s a strong early showing.

With an emphasis on early.

The track and field season is only two meets deep for Coupeville High School athletes, but the Wolves are already putting up top-notch performances.

A look at the current statewide Top 10 lists for 2B schools shows 18 Cow Town stars making an appearance, with six of those popping up twice.

Now, a lot can change in just the week ahead, much less a whole season, but it’s an impressive start.

 

Where things sit through Mar. 24:

 

GIRLS:

800 — Lyla Stuurmans (4th) 2:33.53

1600 — Stuurmans (10th) 6:18.15

WIAA rankings favor Wolves

They like us. Like, really kinda, sorta like us.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association released its first Rating Percentage Index (RPI) rankings Wednesday, and Coupeville High School is among the top 10 in both volleyball and football.

The spikers, who are 4-0 heading into a Thursday home showdown with fellow undefeated Darrington, sit at #7 among 54 schools playing the sport in the 2B classification.

 

Meanwhile, the Wolf gridiron crew, which has posted a 2-1 record while playing three straight games against 1A schools, finds itself at #9 (out of 48 schools) in the 2B rankings.

 

Now, does RPI matter? Sort of.

Ask the WIAA and it will tell you RPI “will be one tool utilized by the seeding committees to determine first round bracket pairings into the state tournaments.”

So, there’s that.

It’s also a really good way to start arguments, such as when you look at the current rankings for 2B/1B boys’ soccer teams, where Coupeville is #16.

Mount Vernon Christian at 4-0-1, having outscored foes 12-3, would be a really good #1, but the Hurricanes are at #3.

Instead, Lopez Island, another Coupeville rival from the Northwest 2B/1B League, currently sits at #1 with a record of … 1-0.

Uh huh.

Guess it’s better than last year when the WIAA ranked a team #1 while failing to notice the team didn’t exist…

WIAA ranks seemingly non-existent boys’ hoops team #1

The chase continues for Wolf track stars

Carly Burt made a move. Lyla Stuurmans, too.

The duo were the highest risers for the Coupeville High School track and field team, which has six athletes in the top 10 statewide rankings through May 13.

Based on her performance at the district meet, Burt jumps from 7th into a tie for 5th among all 2B female pole vaulters.

Meanwhile Stuurmans gets back into the top 10 in the 400, giving her two slots as she was already camped out among the best long jumpers.

And yet, in a quirk, the Wolf junior won’t get a chance to compete at state in that last event, as she finished third at districts, and only the top two advance.

Stuurmans did punch her ticket to Yakima in both the 400 and 800, however, which takes a little of the sting away.

With just one meet left, the aforementioned state championships, which go down May 23-25, here’s where Coupeville athletes currently sit in the top 10 rankings for 2B:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (10th) 1:03.88

Shot Put — Katie Marti (10th) 33-05

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (7th) 111-06

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (5th-tie) 8-06

Long Jump — Stuurmans (5th) 15-08

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (3rd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (4th) 12-00

The fantastic five has become the splendid six.

With her performance at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships last week, Coupeville High School sophomore Carly Burt re-cracks the Top 10 statewide in the pole vault among female 2B athletes.

Meanwhile, Lyla Stuurmans got knocked back out in the 400, for the moment, but held her spot in the long jump.

That duo, along with four other CHS teammates, are among the best of the best with two meets left on the schedule.

Up first is the district meet this Saturday, May 11 in Coupeville. Then, if they qualify, state goes down in Yakima May 23-25.

Current top 10’ers in a Wolf uniform through May 6:

 

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Katie Marti (10th) 33-05

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (6th) 111-06

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (7th) 8-01

Long Jump — Lyla Stuurmans (5th) 15-08

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (3rd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (3rd-tie) 12-00
