We’re entering the stretch run, where every second and every inch counts big-time.

High school track and field enters the postseason this week, with Coupeville traveling to La Conner Wednesday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

After that, depending on performance, is districts and the state meet.

That means, across the state, every track athlete is gunning to throw down PR’s, which creates near-constant movement on the top 10 charts.

Coming off of strong work at Saturday’s Sunny and 70s Invitational, seniors Claire Mayne and Tate Wyman hurdle their way back into the mix for a top spot.

Also jumping onto a top 10 chart is fellow 12th grader Taygin Jump, who made her debut in the hammer throw an auspicious one.

At the same time, several Wolves who sat out Saturday’s meet find themselves bumped off the list, for the moment at least.

And, in a side note, there’s the case of sophomore Katie Marti, currently ranked #10 in the javelin with a throw of 98 feet, 10 inches.

Paul Messner’s granddaughter also has a throw of 100-04, which came at the one-team Coupeville Classic Invitational.

While listed as Marti’s PR, that lob has not been acknowledged as an official mark yet, however, because of complicated regulations on how results are reported, and what is considered “official” and “unofficial.”

With that in mind, a look at where the Wolves rank state-wide among 2B athletes as of May 1:

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (6th) 1:03.76

100 Hurdles — Claire Mayne (9th) 17.96

4 x 400 Relay — Stuurmans, Ryanne Knoblich, Mayne, Carly Burt (6th) 4:37.74

4 x 400 Relay — Guay, Mitchell Hall, Hank Milnes, Wilson (10th) 3:42.76

Every second counts, every inch matters.

As we wind our way towards May, the number of regular season track and field meets dwindle, with the onset of the postseason just on the horizon.

Taking our weekly look at how Coupeville High School athletes stack up against other 2B stars, we have movement from last Monday.

A scan of the top 10 marks in each event show the Wolves going upwards four times, with sophomore Katie Marti jumping back into the elite in the javelin.

Aidan Wilson (400) and both 4 x 400 relay squads are also trending up after strong showings at the GearUp Eason Invitational, while CHS remains in the top 10 in 13 of the other 15 events it previously occupied.

And for those two guys (briefly) bumped from the list by newcomers — Nick Guay in the 200 and Tate Wyman in the 300 hurdles?

Both remain in the top 10 in other events, plus have a chance to compete again Saturday, April 29, when the Wolves attend the Sunny and 70’s Invitational in Lakewood.

Where CHS ranks in 2B as of April 24:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (10th) 13.52

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (4th) 1:03.83

4 x 400 Relay — Claire Mayne, Carly Burt, Ayden Wyman, Aleera Kent (4th) 4:38.96

Wolf track gets back to work

It’s like the Wild West out here, or at least the version depicted in films.

There’s always another gunfighter coming around the corner, looking to make a name for themselves by plugging you in the back.

Take a week off from competition, like the Coupeville High School track and field team just did, and it’s likely your numbers, no matter how good they are, will slip a bit.

Take a look at the Top 10 list for 2B schools and that’s what you’ll see, as the Wolves only held on to two slots from a week ago.

Carolyn Lhamon is still 3rd in the shot put and Alex Murdy remains 2nd best in the long jump.

Every other Coupeville athlete on the list took a hit, including Lyla Stuurmans (400) and the boys 4 x 100 relay team being temporarily nudged out of the top spot by active athletes.

But there’s good news.

The Wolves get back at it this week, with a home meet Wednesday and a trip to Snohomish Saturday, giving Whidbey’s gunslingers two chances to return fire.

As the season continues to follow its winding path, where CHS athletes land among all 2B athletes through April 17:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (9th) 13.52

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (3rd) 1:03.83

4 x 400 Relay — Claire Mayne, Carly Burt, Aleera Kent, Gwen Crowder (10th) 53.52

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (3rd) 33-09

Discus — Lhamon (8th) 97-08

High Jump — Ryanne Knoblich (4th) 4-10

BOYS:

100 — Tim Ursu (9th) 11.64

200 — Nick Guay (9th) 24.12

400 — Aidan Wilson (4th) 53.08

800 — Wilson (5th) 2:04.98

1600 — Mitchell Hall (5th) 4:46.62

300 Hurdles — Tate Wyman (9th) 44.45

4 x 100 Relay — Ursu, Wyman, Wilson, Dominic Coffman (2nd) 45.64

4 x 400 Relay — Hall, Hank Milnes, Guay, Wilson (9th) 3:46.96

Discus — Zac Tackett (8th) 127-05

High Jump — Guay (4th) 5-11; Coffman (5th) 5-10

Long Jump — Alex Murdy (2nd) 19-11.75

Triple Jump — Wilson (6th) 40-01

The finish line inches closer.

With another week of track and field action in the books, the Top 10 rankings for 2B shift, with new names popping up in places, and Coupeville High School making its presence felt.

As of Apr. 10, there are 18 Wolves on the big leaderboard, with CHS owning two #1 slots.

Super sophomore Lyla Stuurmans remains atop the girls 400 rankings, while a boy’s relay team of Tim Ursu, Tate Wyman, Aidan Wilson, and Dominic Coffman are your new leaders in the 4 x 100.

Wilson is currently in the Top 10 in five different events, which is one more than the limit for Washington state prep athletes during a meet.

The Wolf senior is one of eight Wolves to appear more than once, with junior Nick Guay showing up three times.

With two regular season meets left in April, and then the league/districts/state gauntlet in May, things can (and will) still change.

But for now, here’s where the Wolves land among the best in 2B:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (7th) 13.52

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (1st) 1:03.83

100 Hurdles — Claire Mayne (8th) 18.69

4 x 400 Relay — Mayne, Carly Burt, Aleera Kent, Gwen Crowder (8th) 53.52

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (3rd) 33-09

Discus — Lhamon (7th) 97-08

Javelin — Katie Marti (10th) 93-02

High Jump — Ryanne Knoblich (3rd) 4-10

BOYS:

100 — Tim Ursu (6th) 11.64

200 — Nick Guay (7th) 24.12

400 — Aidan Wilson (3rd) 53.08

800 — Aidan Wilson (3rd) 2:04.98

1600 — Mitchell Hall (4th) 4:46.62

300 Hurdles — Tate Wyman (8th) 44.45

4 x 100 Relay — Ursu, Wyman, Wilson, Dominic Coffman (1st) 45.64

4 x 400 Relay — Hall, Hank Milnes, Guay, Wilson (6th) 3:46.96

Discus — Zac Tackett (7th) 127-05

High Jump — Guay (3rd) 5-11; Coffman (4th) 5-10

Long Jump — Alex Murdy (2nd) 19-11.75

Triple Jump — Wilson (4th) 40-01

Six down, three to go.

Having cleared March and sailed into April, the Coupeville High School track and field team is two-thirds of the way through its regular season meets.

The Wolves have that aforementioned trio of events on the schedule this month, which will take them to Bellingham, Snohomish, and Lakewood, then open the postseason with the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships May 3.

With one eye on current things, and one eye on the upcoming gauntlet of league, district, and state meets, Coupeville’s top athletes are all trying to post their best times and distances.

As of Apr. 3, there are 14 Wolves — nine boys and five girls — who hold a spot in the top 10 in at least one event when all 2B athletes are compared.

Senior Aidan Wilson leads the way, with five appearances on the big chart, while Dominic Coffman, Carolyn Lhamon, Nick Guay, Mitchell Hall, and Tate Wyman pop up twice.

Wolf sophomore sensation Lyla Stuurmans is currently the only Coupeville competitor to be ranked #1 in an event, as she has the fastest 400 run of the season.

Wolves in the Top 10 of 2B:

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (1st) 1:04.33

100 Hurdles — Claire Mayne (7th) 18.69

Shot Put — Carolyn Lhamon (3rd) 33-09

Discus — Lhamon (7th) 97-08

Javelin — Katie Marti (9th) 93-02

High Jump — Ryanne Knoblich (3rd) 4-10

BOYS:

400 — Aidan Wilson (3rd) 53.08

800 — Aidan Wilson (5th) 2:07.37

1600 — Mitchell Hall (4th) 4:46.22
