We’ll take all the records. I said all of them!

Little-bitty Coupeville invaded the big time Saturday, staring down 19 other schools, many of them from 2A, 3A and 4A, at the Lil’ Norway Invitational in Poulsbo, and rocked the joint.

Backed by the most enthusiastic fan section in attendance, the Wolves produced two meet records and a school record, while holding their own in the team scoring.

Coupeville’s boys finished 7th overall, and were the highest-scoring 1A team in the field, while the CHS girls copped 10th overall and 3rd among 1A schools.

The biggest highlights came from pole vaulter Mallory Kortuem and the Wolf relay teams.

Kortuem, a sophomore who is competing in the pole vault for the first time this season, shattered the school record for female athletes, hitting an even seven feet.

The previous CHS record, set in 2017 by Mckenzie Meyer, was 6-06, a mark Kortuem tied at the Cashmere Invitational earlier this season.

Coupeville’s sophomore supernova didn’t stop there, as she joined Maya Toomey-Stout, Ashlie Shank and Lindsey Roberts to win the Sprinters Medley relay.

The event features two 100 legs, a 200 leg and a 400 leg, and Coupeville’s time of one minute, 58 seconds topped the meet record set in 2017.

Not to be outdone, the Coupeville quartet of Cameron Toomey-Stout, Sean Toomey-Stout, Jacob Smith and Danny Conlisk won the boys version of the event, and they also shattered the meet record.

Their time of 1:41.74 topped a mark set in 2013.

Nine Wolves set PR’s at the meet, with Natalie Hollrigel going a perfect two-for-two. She notched her best-ever times in the 200 and 800.

The meet drew 20 schools, with one 4A school (South Kitsap), two 3A’s, seven 2A’s, eight 1A’s and two 1B’s.

Coupeville will look to continue its hot streak Monday, when it hosts its second, and final, home meet of the season.

The Wolves welcome Friday Harbor and Lopez to town and things kick off at 3:15 PM.

Cameron Toomey-Stout is comin’ at you.

He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere.

Wanderin’ photo bug John Fisken surprised everyone by heading off-Island Wednesday and ending up at a track meet in Sequim.

Coupeville was on site for the four-team rumble, which was what lured the lens master to the mainland, and the pics seen above are courtesy him.

It had a little bit of a David vs. Goliath feel.

Coupeville, a 2B-sized school forced to masquerade as a 1A, was but a speck Wednesday, at least compared to its track and field rivals.

And yet, facing a trio of large 2A schools at a four-team meet in Sequim, the Wolves held their own, winning four events and setting 12 PR’s.

The CHS girls, buoyed by victories from Mallory Kortuem (400), Lindsey Roberts (100 Hurdles) and Lauren Bayne (High Jump), finished third in the team standings.

With 52 points, the Wolves narrowly missed catching Olympic (58), while easily beating Sequim (40). A very-deep North Kitsap squad (117) ran away with the victory.

On the boys side, Coupeville was missing several top athletes.

Running ace Danny Conlisk and thrower Chris Battaglia were dealing with health issues, while sprint god Jacob Smith had to scratch most of his events Wednesday after his hamstring tightened up.

Without three of their biggest individual scorers, the Wolf boys settled for a win in the high jump from Ariah Bepler, finishing fourth in the team race with 30.5 points.

North Kitsap (105), Sequim (69) and Olympic (59.5) rounded out the field.

Coupeville spread its PR’s out, with 11 athletes getting at least one.

Keahi Sorrows led the way, bettering his previous top marks in both the shot put and discus.

Running up the chart!!

   Lindsey Roberts gives a thumbs-up Saturday after breaking her own school record in the 100 hurdles. (Dawnelle Conlisk photo)

A tenth of a second here, a tenth of a second there.

As the high school track and field season plays out, the Top 10 charts ebb and flow from meet to meet.

Day to day, hour to hour, they change, most heavily right after Thursday and Saturday, when most meets are held.

By the time you finish reading this paragraph, another top time or two may have suddenly appeared seemingly out of thin air.

That’s just life on the athletic.net boards.

But, at this exact moment, 10:57 AM, Sunday, Apr. 15, here’s how Coupeville’s best currently stack up against all other 1A athletes in the state.

Girls:

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (6th) 15.82 *Same position on charts as before*

4 x 200 Relay — Ashlie Shank, Mallory Kortuem, Roberts, Maya Toomey-Stout (6th) 1:52.13 *Debut on charts*

Boys:

100 — Jacob Smith (5th) 11.32 *Up five slots*

200 — Smith (5th) 23.26 *Down two slots*

400 — Danny Conlisk (5th) 57.97 *Returns to charts*

4 x 100 — Cameron Toomey-Stout, Jean Lund-Olsen, Sean Toomey-Stout, Jacob Smith (8th) 45.45 *Down one slot*

Epic journey, epic results!!

   The small-school Wolves held up well against their much-bigger Eastern counterparts.

Wolves (l to r) Keahi Sorrows, Kylie Chernikoff and Emma Smith are all smiles.

The races went a lot quicker than the trip.

The Coupeville High School track and field team, and its ever-loyal fan crew, traveled across the state Saturday, dodging crews working on avalanche control, to finally arrive at the Cashmere Invitational.

Once at the 15-team spectacular, the Wolves ripped up the joint, shattering a school record, winning four events and setting 14 PR’s.

Coupeville finished 4th in the boys team standings and 7th in the girls, while Eastern powers Cashmere (boys) and Okanogan (girls) took home titles.

The biggest news of the day, at least for those back on Whidbey, came courtesy Wolf junior Lindsey Roberts, who annihilated her previous best time in the 100 hurdles.

Jess Roundy held the school record (16.06 seconds) for 18 years until Roberts toppled her in 2017, hitting the line in 15.97.

Saturday, Lou took her record even lower, leaning across the tape in a crisp 15.82.

Equally impressive were Wolf senior Jacob Smith, who won the 100 and 200, and junior Danny Conlisk, who hit the tape first in the 400.

Smith’s 100 time (11.32) was a season-best, just .03 off his top time, set last year at the district meet.

Coupeville spread out its PR’s Saturday, with 13 different Wolves getting at least one.

Freshman distance runner Catherine Lhamon paced everyone, delivering personal best times in both the 1500 and 3000.
