It ended the only way it could, with the Wolves atop the podium.

Whether individually, in relay groups, or finally, as complete teams, Coupeville High School thoroughly dominated the 1A Olympic League track and field finals.

Competing at home Friday, the Wolves bested Port Townsend, Chimacum and Klahowya, sweeping both the girls and boys team titles.

Toss in two school records, 17 wins and 33 PRs, plus the fact they advanced 24 athletes (at least) to districts and the weather wasn’t the only thing sizzling.

Plus, CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith didn’t end up in the hospital when a wayward discus soared over his head and clanked to the ground mere inches away, so … bonus.

The league tourney, which sends its top three in each event on to districts May 18-19, took place under sunny skies, with a few wispy clouds trailing the runners and throwers as they warmed up.

Longtime CHS track coach Randy King, brandishing twin starters pistols and wearing the look of a man about to storm a high-rise, Die Hard-style, was mildly optimistic at the beginning.

“It’s … going. It’s been … going … since 9 AM… We’re … getting … (deep sigh) … there.”

Five hours later, King was all smiles, as his teams romped and the meet went off almost without incident — though watching two high jumpers play Rock, Paper, Scissors to break a second-place tie was slightly unusual.

The Wolf boys ran away with 11 victories, led by senior Ariah Bepler, who set PRs in all three of his wins.

Jacob Smith and Sean Toomey-Stout popped on top of the podium four times apiece, twice as individuals and twice as relay team members, while Smith delivered the biggest bang of the afternoon.

Already the school record-holder in the 200, he busted the mark in the 100 Friday, toppling a record which had stood since 1987.

Bill Carstensen ran a 10.90 back in the hand-timed days, which translates to 11.14 now. Smith went under that by the length of his nose, hitting the tape at 11.12.

He was joined in busting a school record by sophomore Mallory Kortuem, though the length of time the pole vault mark she toppled had stood was a lot more modest.

The splendid sophomore soared seven feet, six inches, going half a foot better than the previous record … set by Kortuem herself earlier this season.

The Wolf girls nabbed six wins as they edged Klahowya 98-85 for the team title.

Port Townsend (68) and Chimacum (19) rounded out the score sheet.

On the boys side, the battle was close for much of the day until the Wolves pulled away in the latter stages for a 119-75.5 triumph over Klahowya.

PT (50.5) and Chimacum (16) were well back.

Coupeville now goes into a wait-and-watch-and-train mode.

Districts pits the Olympic League against the Nisqually League, with the top two in each event heading to Cheney for the state meet.

If you finished in the top three Friday, you know you’re going to districts. But, if you finished #4, you have to wait a week to find out your fate.

The Nisqually League doesn’t hold its meet until next weekend.

When it does, the top four finishers there advance, while their #5 will be compared to the OL #4, with the better time or distance getting the final slot at districts.

Bring your wallet, track fans!!

Want to see Wolf track stars like Lindsey Roberts or Jacob Smith compete for a league title?

Get ready to fork over some greenbacks.

The 1A Olympic League finals, which are set to go down 2 PM Friday at Coupeville High School’s track complex, will be on a pay-to-watch basis for fans.

CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith confirmed Thursday that the event is being operated under the same guidelines as all other postseason events.

Ticket prices:

Adults and students w/o ASB – $8
Students (with ASB) – $5
Elementary (under 12) – $4
Senior Citizens (62+) – $5

Also, there will be only one entry point open Friday, and that is through the gate off the elementary school.

The back entrance by the baseball field will not be used for the event, so if you choose to park in the baseball/softball parking lot, expect to walk all the way around.

The league finals brings Chimacum, Port Townsend and Klahowya to town to face off with the Wolves.

Top three finishers in each event Friday punch their ticket to the district meet May 18-19 in Renton.

Districts fills out its eight-athlete draws by taking the top four finishers from the Nisqually League, then awarding the final spot to the better time/distance between the OL #4 and NL #5.

Made it ma! Top of the charts!!

Nothing stays the same.

With the regular season winding down this week, the battle to be in the top 10 for state track and field marks has ramped up in intensity.

As they prep for the sub-district meet May 4 in Coupeville, seven Wolves are currently among the best in all of 1A in at least one category.

That’s down from nine a week ago, as the CHS girls relay teams were recently knocked out of the top 10 in both the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200.

While that chops three names off the list (at least for a moment), another Wolf has popped onto the charts for the first time this season.

Senior Ariah Bepler hit a PR in the high jump last week and that propelled him all the way up to a tie for fourth among 1A male jumpers.

His fellow senior, Jacob Smith, remains the top Wolf, with his name showing up in three different categories at the moment.

Now, as soon as you finish reading this, a tardy coach or administrator may pop onto Athletic.net and drop a time or height or distance which throws all this asunder.

But, at this exact moment, 10:25 PM, Saturday, Apr. 28, here’s how Coupeville stacks up against the best of 1A:

 

Girls:

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (7th) 15.82 *Down one slot*

 

Boys:

100 — Jacob Smith (5th) 11.32 *Same position on charts*

200 — Smith (4th) 22.96 *Up three slots*

400 — Danny Conlisk (8th) 51.97 *Down two slots*

4 x 100 — Jean Lund-Olsen, Smith, Cameron Toomey-Stout, Sean Toomey-Stout, Smith (6th) 45.01 *Up four slots*

High Jump — Ariah Bepler (4th) 6-00 *Debut on the charts**
