Our long national nightmare is over.

Well, one of them, at least.

It took longer than normal, but results have finally surfaced from Wednesday’s four-team track meet at North Mason, and the word was good for athletes wearing the red and black of Coupeville High School.

Despite facing a pair of large 2A schools (Olympic and the meet hosts), along with 1A rival Port Townsend, the Wolves claimed second-place in the girls team standings.

Finishing with 59 points, the CHS women finished hot on the heels of Olympic (61), while North Mason (36) and PT (25) brought up the rear.

On the boys side Olympic (59) ran away with the win, followed by North Mason (53), Coupeville (30) and PT (18).

The Wolves captured nine individual wins on the day, with Lauren Bayne (high jump), Catherine Lhamon (1600), Lindsey Roberts (200), and Mallory Kortuem (400) winning varsity contests for the girls.

Ja’Tarya Hoskins also claimed a win in the 200 JV race.

On the boys side, Chris Battaglia (javelin), Danny Conlisk (400), Ryan Labrador (shot put) and Jacob Smith (200) climbed to the top of the varsity podium.

Well … we’re waiting!!

   Waiting for the ferry on a beautiful early spring day (you know, back in that time before a rainy winter returned).

Abby Parker finds her inner bliss.

Coupeville track parents are always up for a road trip.

Lauren Bayne enjoys her day.

In our modern, go-go world, we expect everything super fast.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled, but with high school track teams using Athletic.net to post their results in recent years, I’ve grown used to stats popping up almost as soon as the meet is done.

Not so this week, as Coupeville’s trek to North Mason Wednesday for a four-team meet continues to go unreported.

The word on the street is the hosts had $55,000 in timing equipment — and yet, here we sit, an ungodly 24 hours after said meet (I know, I know…) without a whisper of a word on the results.

Athletic.net currently shows a whopping four guys from Port Townsend in the 400, and that’s it.

While I self-righteously say, “Boo,” some track pics to keep your mind off the greatest injustice since … well … that last time I got self-righteous.

Track? It’s back!!

Working between two rivals, Wolf speed demon Jacob Smith fires up the jets.

   Freshman Kylie Chernikoff makes her high school track and field debut a successful one.

   Thane Peterson contemplates the state of the universe before flinging his discus into the great unknown.

A day after her birthday Lindsey Roberts gets airborne in the hurdles.

The shoes were tightly tied, the shot puts were flying and the cameras were clicking.

Thursday brought the start of a new high school track and field season, and the presence of all three Whidbey Island schools in one location was enough to draw John Fisken out of hiding.

The camera bug hit the Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor, and the Coupeville-heavy pics seen above are courtesy him.

King back on track!!

It was the “home meet” before the home meet.

While Coupeville High School will host a real, honest-to-goodness track meet at its facility Mar. 28, the Wolves tested out timing equipment and such Friday during a practice meet.

While most of the races featured CHS athletes competing against each other, there was one ringer in the bunch.

Former Wolf supernova Kyle King, a man who won five state track and field titles during his heyday, was there to help out dad Randy, the CHS coach.

The younger King, who went on to run at Eastern Washington University and the University of Oklahoma after his high school days, went toe-to-toe with current Wolves like Danny Conlisk, passing on knowledge and encourgement.

Then he went out and beat them in a race, just to make sure they still knew who the Alpha Wolf was.

Having a rare opportunity to work with one of the most accomplished athletes in school history was a major score for the current generation of track stars.

“So thankful,” said Wolf mom Dawnelle Conlisk. “Danny walked away with priceless knowledge.”

Wolves launch Mission: Cheney!!

Posted in Track, tagged , , , , on March 4, 2018| Leave a Comment »

Juniors Ashlie Shank (left) and Lindsey Roberts are back to tear up the track.

Depth, experience and talent.

The Coupeville High School track team boasts all of that, a strong coaching staff and improved facilities which now include new covered stands, announcing booth and dedicated track storage building.

All of that brings a huge smile to the face of longtime Wolf head coach Randy King, who is partially new himself, after successful hip replacement surgery.

The oval guru will call on returning assistant coaches Bob Martin (throwers, high jumpers), Chad Felgar (sprinters, hurdlers, long jumpers), Neil Rixe (distance runners), Jordan Ford (vaulters) and Lincoln Kelley (javelin) to help with his 40+ athlete roster.

Also joining the crew is Sylvia Hurlburt, a state meet veteran whose name appears several times on the CHS track record board.

The former Wolf star has come home to work with the sprinters and relay teams.

“Our team is really fortunate to have all this help and I really appreciate them,” King said.

Headlining the Coupeville roster are a host of athletes who made the long trek to Cheney last season.

Junior Lindsey Roberts, who has racked up four state meet medals in her first two seasons, leads the returning Wolves.

A school record holder in three events (100 hurdles plus both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relays), she is chasing history.

Only three Wolf girls (Makana Stone with seven, Natasha Bamberger with six and Yashmeen Knox with five) have won more state meet medals than Roberts.

Her counterpart on the male side of the roster is senior Jacob Smith, whose school-record mark in the 200 has him ranked #1 among all returning 1A runners in the state.

After finishing fourth at state during his sophomore campaign, Smith claimed third last year.

As he chases a state title in the 200, the speed demon, who also went to state in the 100 and the 4 x 400, will add the 400 to his to-do list this season.

Maya Toomey-Stout, who became the first Wolf girl in school history to compete in four different events at one state meet (100, 200, 4 x 1, 4 x 2) is back for her sophomore season.

This time around, “The Gazelle” is joined by both of her brothers, senior Cameron and sophomore Sean.

Other state meet vets include junior Danny Conlisk (400, 800, 4 x 4), seniors Lauren Bayne (high jump), Henry Wynn (4 x 4) and Ariah Bepler (high jump) and sophomore Mallory Kortuem (4 x 1, 4 x 2).

Beyond the Wolves who competed at Cheney last year, the squad boasts considerable depth.

Some key returnees include seniors Mckenzie Meyer, Abby Parker and Allison Wenzel, juniors Emma Smith, Chris Battaglia, Ashlie Shank and Jakobi Baumann and sophomores Raven Vick and Lucy Sandahl.

Meyer set a school record in the pole vault last year.

Two promising newcomers are sophomores Zoe Trujillo, who hops over from tennis, and Chris Ruck, who transferred from La Salle.

As the Wolves make their final run through the Olympic League and District 3 — next year they jump to District 1 and the new North Sound Conference — King would like to see his charges make a solid exit.

“As far as team goals are concerned, we aren’t asking too much from our athletes this season,” he said with a smile and wink. “Just to run faster, jump better, and throw farther than they ever have before!

“Together with some work, and attention to technique, we can do this,” King added. “It is really going to be exciting to see what this group accomplishes this season.”
