It was Dalton’s day.

Coupeville High School senior Dalton Martin put on a show Friday in Cheney at the 1A state track and field meet.

Coming off of a 5th place showing in the discus as a junior, he entered his final go-around at state qualified in three throwing events.

And he immediately made his impact felt, in the most surprising way.

Having only picked up the javelin just a few weeks ago, he slipped into the state meet seeded #16 in a 16-man field, then promptly flipped that ranking on its head.

Unleashing a PR of 149 feet, three inches on the very first throw of the event, he sailed on to the awards podium, claiming an 8th place medal.

What came next was far more expected, as Martin, who has been the second-best discus chucker in 1A all season, claimed his second medal of the meet, finishing runner-up to defending champ Jose Padilla of Chelan.

Martin came within 13 inches of his PR, hurling the discus 160 feet, six inches.

Padilla, who has accepted a track scholarship from the University of Washington, launched throws of 185-03 and 195-00.

The first broke the 1A state meet record, which was set in 1968.

The second shattered the record for all classifications, which had stood since 1979.

Martin’s double-dip day (he’ll back to lob the shot put with Padilla Saturday) highlighted a busy day for the Wolves.

Having sent its biggest crew in memory, 16 athletes strong, Coupeville competed in five finals and nine prelims Friday.

Of the three finals not involving Martin, the best showing came from senior Jordan Ford, who also earned a medal, finishing in a tie for 8th in the pole vault.

He went 12-06, three inches off of his school record, in an event that was shoved back two hours on the schedule and finished long after all the other competitors had left the stadium at Eastern Washington University.

Wolf junior Skyler Lawrence, who finished 16th a year ago, jumped to 12th in the shot put, while Mitchell Carroll was 15th in the triple jump.

With a strong showing across the board in Friday’s prelims, the Wolves are qualified for seven finals Saturday, and will make some history.

Freshman Lindsey Roberts and senior Makana Stone are guaranteed to bring home three medals apiece, while Martin also has a shot at three.

The last time a Wolf won three medals at a state track meet was Tyler King in 2011.

The only time three CHS athletes won three medals each in the same state meet was 2008, when Brian Miller, Kyle King and Tyler King pulled off the feat.

As far as I can find in my research, no Wolf girl has won three medals in the same state meet.

Stone, who has collected four medals over the past three years, will run in the final of the 400, while Roberts is the lone ninth grader in the 100 hurdles final.

Both will team with Lauren Grove and Sylvia Hurlburt in the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay finals.

The fearsome foursome, known as “Sole Sisters,” are gunning for only the second relay title in the history of Coupeville High School.

In 2006, the quartet of Kyle King, Jon Chittim, Steven McDonald and Chris Hutchinson won the boys 4 x 400.

Run on, Tyler! Run on!!

The definitive Tyler King photo? Perhaps.

Not done just yet.

Thunders storms blew away his event Thursday, but, given a second chance at the crack of dawn Friday, Tyler King took advantage.

Romping to a ninth-place finish (out of 48 runners) in the men’s 10,000 meter race at the NCAA West Regionals in Lawrence, Kansas, the University of Washington senior punched his ticket to the national championships.

Now, the Coupeville High School grad will run his final collegiate race in Eugene at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, which are June 8-11.

King covered Friday’s race in 29 minutes, 57 seconds, while Oregon’s Edward Cheserek (29:45.41) claimed the title.

The top 12 finishers advance to Eugene.

The race was set to be run late Thursday night, but day one of the three-day meet in Kansas was blown away by constant thunder storms which sat right on top of Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence.

Having called it a day after only two events had started (men’s hammer and women’s javelin) meet officials jammed two days worth of events into one day.

That put King and Co. on the starting line Friday at 8:40 AM local time (6:40 Whidbey time).

Size doesn’t matter.

Despite being much smaller in numbers than most of its competition, the Coupeville Middle School track and field squads held up well Wednesday at the Olympic League meet.

The Wolves finished second in the boys team standings, trailing just Sequim, which feeds a 2A school, while the girls were third behind ginormous Stevens, which feeds 2A Port Angeles, and Sequim.

Forks, Blue Heron (Port Townsend) and Chimacum also competed in the six-team season finale.

When Coupeville boarded the bus for the trip home, six Wolves ascended the stairs as league champs.

Cassidy Moody (high jump), Ja’Tarya Hoskins (75 hurdles), Morgan Pease (800), Thane Peterson (discus), Matthew Kelley (high jump) and Sean Toomey-Stout (long jump) all ruled their events.

Cheney, prepare for a Wolf invasion!!

Posted in Track, tagged 1A, CHS Wolves, Lauren Grove, state, track and field on May 26, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Wolf junior Lauren Grove is Cheney-bound in three events.

Wolf moms (l to r) Dawnelle Conlisk, Deb Smith, Mindy Grove and Barbi Ford bask in the glow of a freshly spray-painted rock.

Cheney, the Wolves are inbound.

They have to take a bus.

After several years of getting away with sending a van to the state track and field meet, Coupeville High School qualified so many athletes this year it had to upgrade.

The season finale, which brings the best in 1A, 2B and 1B to “Heatstroke City,” AKA Cheney, Washington, kicks off Thursday afternoon, then continues in full-force through Friday and Saturday.

The pictures above, which come to us from a number of Wolf moms, help build the anticipation.

Now, let the butt-whuppin’ commence.

Makin’ history!!

You’re going to state. And you’re going to state. And … heck, everyone’s going to state!

Just about.

Even with Makana Stone opting out of the 800 and sprinter/jumper Lathom Kelley hobbled by a nasty hamstring injury, the Coupeville High School track and field team knocked it out of the park Saturday.

Led by a school record from Jacob Smith in the 200 and titles in three boys races — 200, 800 and 4 x 400 — the Wolves punched a ton more tickets to state at Day 2 of the West Central District 3 meet in Bremerton.

The small public school also outlasted its bigger private school rivals, with the boys finishing 2nd in the team standings in a 9-team field.

The girls claimed fourth.

Combined with its efforts from Friday, Coupeville will send 15 athletes to Cheney May 26-28 for the 1A championships, and they will compete across 18 events.

Six Wolves — Smith, Stone, Dalton Martin, Lindsey Roberts, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove — lead the way, having each qualified in three events.

Martin was the first to lock down a slot Saturday, finishing second in the shot put.

After that came wins from Conlisk (800) and Smith (200), before the duo teamed up with Henry Wynn and Jared Helmstadter to crush the final relay of the meet.

With a top three performance needed (#4 goes as an alternate) to earn a magic ticket, Grove (3rd in the 200), Chris Battaglia (3rd/high jump), Hurlburt (4th/200) and Allison Wenzel (4th/javelin) also jumped on the fun train.

Conlisk, just a freshman, passed several foes in the final 200 meters to win his race, while Smith, a sophomore, shattered the school record to get atop the podium.

His time of 22.59 seconds is the third-fastest run in 1A this season.

Stone, who had entered the day owning one of the fastest 800 times in the state, passed on the event so she could run the anchor leg in the 4 x 400 for the first time this season.

It was a bid to bring along three more of her Wolf teammates with her to state, but it came up a bit short despite Stone thundering down the backstretch.

Still, she helped the 4 x 4 squad knock 20 seconds off its previous best.

Kelley, one of the most insanely talented, yet snake-bit, athletes to ever wear the red and black, ended his high school career on a muted note.

Having injured a hamstring when he skidded on a jump in heavy rain during sub-districts last weekend, he had limited mobility.

Proving to be a fighter until the end, though, Kelley insisted on traveling down to cheer on his teammates and gritted his way through several long jump attempts.

On a weekend when many of his fellow Wolves saw their dreams of qualifying for state come true, he stood tall alongside them.

Win or lose, in the end, one team.
