They went out with a bang.

Coupeville 8th graders Kylie Chernikoff and Jake Mitten capped their middle school track careers Wednesday by winning league titles.

Chernikoff hurled the discus 78 feet to best a field of 14, while Mitten sailed over the high jump bar at five feet, two-and-a-half inches to top 21 rivals.

Their victories were the cherry on top for the Wolves, who survived a trip to the wilds of Forks for the Olympic League Championships.

The season-ending event drew seven middle schools, with the two largest ones taking team titles.

Sequim and Stevens, which support 2A high schools, took the boys and girls competitions, respectively.

Along with the wins, Coupeville also got a second-place finish in the 60 from 7th grader Ja’Kenya Hoskins and third-places finishes from its boys 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay teams.

Medal mania mounts!!

They’re running for history.

Of the 10 Coupeville High School athletes headed to the 1A state track and field meet May 25-27, three have previously brought medals home from Cheney.

Junior Jacob Smith, who’s competing in three events this year (100, 200, 4 x 400) finished 4th in the 200 last season.

Two of his traveling companions, senior Lauren Grove and sophomore Lindsey Roberts, are a couple of steps ahead of him, however.

They’re part of an elite group that thrives on excellence.

Take all the countless girls and boys who have competed for CHS track over the decades, and only 21 have claimed three or more state meet medals.

Now, with a strong weekend, the duo can leapfrog their way further up that list.

Grove is running a leg on 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay units, both of which head to state ranked in the top eight, which is where the medal cutoff sits these days.

If she and her teammates do medal in both events, she’d exit CHS as one of just nine Wolves to bring home five medals all-time.

Meanwhile, Roberts is on a fast track to oval immortality.

Having brought home three medals as a freshman, she’s set to run with Grove on both relay teams, as well as compete in the 100 hurdles.

Snatch medals in all three events and Roberts — who already has one more medal than uncle Jay, an accomplished relay runner himself in the late ’80s — would reach the halfway point of her high school career in fine fashion.

With six medals, she’d sit in a tie for fourth-best all-time, just one away from tying the mark for a female Wolf track star.

After poring over endless on-line records (Coupeville, Oroville and Ritzville start to blend together), and getting help from Facebook sleuths while tracking down ’80s relay teams, I feel confident the list below is at least 12% correct.

Cue the corrections in five, four, three…

Most state track and field medals in CHS history:

Tyler King (11) – Two state titles, five 2nds, two 4ths, one 6th, one 8th

Kyle King (10) – Five state titles, two 2nds, one 4th, one 5th, one 6th

Makana Stone (7) – Two 2nds, two 3rds, one 4th, one 5th, one 6th

Natasha Bamberger (6) – Four state titles, one 2nd, one 3rd

Chad Gale (6) – One 2nd, three 3rds, one 4th, one 6th

Bill Carstensen (5) – One 3rd, three 4ths, one 6th

Jon Chittim (5) – Three state titles, one 2nd, one 7th

Yashmeen Knox (5) – One 4th, one 6th, two 7ths, one 8th

Jeff Fielding (4) – One state title, one 2nd, two 5ths

Sylvia Hurlburt (4) – Two 3rds, one 5th, one 6th

Dalton Martin (4) – One 2nd, one 5th, two 8ths

Brian Miller (4) – One 3rd, one 4th, one 5th, one 6th

Madison Tisa-McPhee (4) – One 3rd, one 5th, one 7th, one 8th

Ed Cook (3) – One 2nd, one 5th, one 6th

Lauren Grove (3) – Two 3rds, one 6th

Hunter Hammer (3) – One 6th, two 8ths

Kyra Ilyankoff (3) – One 2nd, one 3rd, one 4th

Janiece Jenkins (3) – One 5th, one 6th, one 8th

Amy Mouw (3) – One state title, one 2nd, one 8th

Lindsey Roberts (3) – One 3rd, one 4th, one 6th

Pete Rosenkranz (3) – Two 2nds, one 3rd

One big fling!!

A year ago, Dalton Martin was headed to the 1A state track and field meet in Cheney, where he would earn three throwing medals for Coupeville High School.

While he doesn’t spend as much time with the shot put or javelin anymore, Martin is still flinging the discus, but at a higher level now.

A freshman at Everett Community College, he spent Monday in Gresham, Oregon, finishing 6th in his event at the Northwest Athletic Conference track and field championships.

Hitting 130 feet, two inches, he had the third-best throw by a freshman, and beat out eight athletes overall in the 14-man finals.

Colton Paller of Olympic College won the event with a heave of 156-00.

Everything’s set. Now they just wait.

The seeds for the 1A state track and field championships have been released, and the 10 Wolves headed to Cheney May 25-27 know how they stack up against their competition.

If the seeds hold, Coupeville is on target to bring home six medals (you need a top eight finish), three on either side of the gender divide.

But, as last year, when the Wolves won nine medals as a team, was a testament, no one can guarantee anything.

Anyone, from a #1 seed to a #17 seed, can trip, drop a baton, get ill or, conversely, have the meet of their dreams.

Wolves like Lindsey Roberts and Dalton Martin entered that 2016 meet ranked outside the top eight in an event, but finished on the victory stand, medal in hand.

It’s one meet to decide the fate of the track universe. Anything can happen.

But first, the cold hard numbers headed to Cheney:

Girls:

100 — Maya Toomey-Stout (11th) 12.96

200 — Toomey-Stout (10th) 26.76

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (8th) 15.97

4 x 100 Relay — Lauren Grove, Mallory Kortuem, Toomey-Stout, Roberts (8th) 51.05

4 x 200 Relay — Grove, Kortuem, Toomey-Stout, Roberts (6th) 1:47.67

High Jump — Lauren Bayne (16th) 4-08

Boys:

100 — Jacob Smith (5th) 11.29

200 — Smith (2nd) 22.51

400 — Danny Conlisk (10th) 51.42

800 — Conlisk (15th) 2:07.02

4 x 400 Relay — Henry Wynn, Smith, Mitchell Carroll, Conlisk (10th) 3:33.24

Long Jump — Carroll (13th) 20-02.50

Triple Jump — Carroll (3rd) 43-03

High Jump — Ariah Bepler (9th) 5-10

CHS senior Lauren Grove is headed back to state for a third, and final, time.

Naika Hallam fires the javelin skyward.

   Landing with a splash in the triple jump, foreign exchange student Aurora Zanardi ends her American high school track days.

For some, it was the next step. For others, the final stop.

But, regardless of whether they advanced to state or not, all the Coupeville High School track stars competing at the district meet in Renton Saturday got a chance to shine in front of John Fisken’s camera.
