This is your chance to get in on the ground floor.

Coupeville High School will officially debut its new track oval with an intra-squad meet Saturday, Mar. 11 and the Wolves are seeking volunteers who would like to be event judges.

Whether you have prior experience or want to learn on the go, this is perfect for you.

Since CHS hasn’t hosted a meet for at least five years, running an informal team event first will help everyone get on the same page in a low-stress environment.

“Anyone who enjoys track and field and/or working with some polite and appreciative youth is encouraged to contact us,” said Wolf track coach Randy King. “Catch the excitement!”

Coupeville is scheduled to host three regular meets this season, two for the high school and one for the middle school. There’s also work being done on possibly adding a fourth meet in late April.

The Wolves welcome Port Townsend, Chimacum, Klahowya and Mount Vernon Christian to Whidbey Mar. 30 for their first official home meet, then host the Olympic League JV meet May 8.

That second event will feature 11 schools in all.

With a brand spanking new oval, CHS would like to become a preferred destination point for future postseason events. To do that, the school needs to build a solid supporting cast.

“Building a cadre of experienced event judges will be a key to us being able to hold successful track meets in the future,” King said.

To volunteer contact King (678-2465) or Coupeville High School Athletic Director Willie Smith (678-2422).

Dalton Martin, the next “Damn, Daniel?” (John Fisken photo)

The legend continues to grow.

After getting tons of views on Facebook and YouTube for his Deer Whisperer video, CHS grad Dalton Martin has taken the next step, and it’s potentially a huge one.

His video — which shows the former Wolf sharing a leafy lunch with a very calm forest creature — can now be found on EllenTube, a video-sharing site that’s part of Ellen DeGeneres‘ vast empire.

Martin has picked up another 3,000+ views thanks to the site, and while that doesn’t quite put him in “Kendall Jenner quits Instagram” territory yet (there are close to 800,000 much dumber people now…), it’s a step.

Now, all he needs is the big lady herself to notice, and Dalton could be on his way to being the next “Damn, Daniel.”

The pit o’ dreams.

School may be out, but work continues.

Crews are deep into installing a new track oval at Mickey Clark Field, as the days count down towards the start of a new CHS football season.

The old track was ripped away, the stands dismantled and the press box destroyed, and, day by day, the new running surface gets closer to a reality.

These latest photos come to us courtesy John Fisken, who haunts the joint still.

Carroll, trying to contain the excitement of advancing to state.

Great things are ahead for Mitchell Carroll.

As he heads into his senior year at Coupeville High School, the two-sport (football, track) star seems primed to have a breakout year.

Always among the hardest workers in a Wolf uniform, Carroll, who celebrates a birthday today, brings dedication, talent and commitment to the table every day.

At a time when others are taking the easy way out, he remains front and center for Coupeville, proud of his school and his own talents and ready to put a cap on his career where it started.

Carroll is one of the top Wolf defensive players slated to return to the gridiron as new CHS coach John Atkins kicks off his first year.

He snagged 29 tackles last year, while also picking up a sack and a fumble recovery.

Part of a group of tackle-happy returning Wolves with Chris Battaglia, Uriel Liquidano, Julian Welling and Jacob Martin, Carroll should send his numbers even higher as a senior.

Then, when spring rolls around, and CHS debuts its new track and field layout, local fans will get to see him compete at home for the first time.

As a junior, Carroll threw the shot put and flew in all three jumping events (high, long and triple), making it all the way to state in the final event.

We can praise his work ethic. His commitment to his teammates and school. His big brain (he’s an Honor Roll alumni who competes in Science Olympiad).

Keep on going and we’ll be here all day.

So, let’s wrap this up and let him get to the cake by simply saying this — Mitchell Carroll is one of the best and brightest, in every way, that we are blessed to have here in Wolf Nation.

Guy is a winner, on and off the field, and, from all of us up in the cheap seats, happy birthday.

Dalton Martin: American Bad-Ass (John Fisken photo)

Dalton Martin: American Bad-Ass (John Fisken photo)

In a just world, this video goes viral.

Dalton Martin, who graduated from Coupeville High School last month, after capping a stellar track career by becoming the first Wolf ever to win three throwing medals at one state meet, is comfortable on camera.

In the school’s annual torch-passing video, he took the lead role in a remake of “Hot Rod” and nailed it. Andy Samberg, who?

But this is bigger, better, badder and with far more deer, all in one incredible seven-second clip.

Enjoy, then spread the word.

Help Dalton become the next Damn Daniel.
