Lindsey Roberts (right), seen here with teammate Ashlie Shank, is state-bound in three events.

Wolf junior shot putter Skyler Lawrence is headed back to Cheney for the second straight season.

They’re going to need the big van.

With one half of the West Central District 3 track and field meet in the books, 11 Coupeville High School athletes have punched their ticket to the state meet in Cheney.

Five of those Wolves have qualified in more than one event, and CHS still has another day to add to that list.

Coupeville returns to Bremerton Saturday morning for Day 2 of the district meet.

When it does, CHS will be in the mix for two team titles, as well.

Both the Wolf girls and boys sit in second place among the nine 1A schools competing.

Bellevue Christian leads 72-54 in the boys race, while Charles Wright Academy is up 73-55 on the Wolf girls.

Over the course of several hours Friday afternoon, the Wolves opened the meet by vanquishing foes from the Olympic and Nisqually Leagues en route to winning five district crowns.

Makana Stone (400), Dalton Martin (discus), Jacob Smith (100) and both the girls 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay squads (Lindsey Roberts, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt and Stone) stood atop the awards podium.

A top four finish at districts is what is needed to earn a trip to state (May 26-28).

Joining the district winners in being Eastbound are Roberts (2nd in the 100 hurdles), Skyler Lawrence (3rd/shot put), Martin (3rd/javelin), Mitchell Carroll (3rd/triple jump), Jordan Ford (3rd/pole vault), Connor Thompson (4th/triple jump) and Henry Wynn (4th/1600).

Especially noteworthy were Ford and Martin, who both had stellar performances.

Ford smashed his own school record in the pole vault, raising it by three inches, while Martin launched the javelin almost 11 feet(!!) further than his previous-best.

One step from state!!

Jordan Ford: “I’m going first and I’m finishing first!” (John Fisken photos)

Lindsey Roberts and her relay teammates will try and punch their ticket to state in two events Friday in Bremerton.

Want to risk getting a sunburn in Cheney in a week?

Than the next two days are all-important.

Coupeville will make the trek to Bremerton High School’s stadium Friday and Saturday for the West Central District 3 meet, with state berths waiting to be won.

Competing against their three foes in the 1A Olympic League as well as the best from the five-team Nisqually League, each Wolf needs a top four performance in their event to advance to the big dance.

If they finish outside the top four, there’s still a remote chance of advancing if they achieve a preset state standard.

To be safe, though, it’s 99.99% certain you want to be top four or bust.

Districts will kick off with a flurry of finals Friday afternoon, then wrap up Saturday with an all-day bonanza.

Unlike the 2A competitors, who will also be conducting their district meet in the same stadium, Coupeville and the 1A schools will have no heats, just finals, in all their events.

That means less chance to get worn down, but also puts a premium on throwing down your best performance right out of the gate.

As we look at the list of who’s (currently) in the field, remember it’s fluid.

Some athletes are battling injuries, while others may choose to pass on certain events to focus on others.

That could allow some Wolves who are currently alternates to move up and claim spots in the district field.

So, with that in mind, the schedule (with eligible CHS participants):

Friday:

3:25 — Girls 4 x 200 relay (Lauren Grove, Lindsey Roberts, Sylvia Hurlburt, Makana Stone)

3:30 — Boys pole vault (Jordan Ford)

3:30 — Girls long jump (Roberts, Grove)

3:30 — Girls high jump (Lauren Bayne)

3:30 — Boys triple jump (Mitchell Carroll, Connor Thompson)

3:30 — Boys javelin (Dalton Martin, Mitchell Losey)

3:30 — Boys discus (Martin)

4:15 — Girls 100 hurdles (Roberts)

4:30 — Boys 100 (Jacob Smith)

4:45 — Girls 100 (Hurlburt)

5:00 — Girls shot put (Skyler Lawrence)

5:00 — Boys 1600 (Henry Wynn, Danny Conlisk)

5:40 — Girls 4 x 100 relay (Grove, Roberts, Stone, Hurlburt)

5:55 — Boys 400 (Jared Helmstadter)

6:10 — Girls 400 (Stone)

Saturday:

10:00 — Girls javelin (Naika Hallam, Allison Wenzel)

10:00 — Boys shot put (Martin)

11:45 — Boys long jump (Lathom Kelley, Carroll)

11:45 — Boys high jump (Ford, Thompson, Chris Battaglia)

12:40 — Boys 800 (Conlisk)

12:50 — Girls 800 (Stone)

2:30 — Girls 300 hurdles (Mckenzie Meyer)

2:40 — Boys 200 (Smith)

2:50 — Girls 200 (Hurlburt, Grove)

3:40 — Girls 4 x 400 relay (Wenzel, Madison Rixe, Bayne, Meyer)

3:45 — Boys 4 x 400 relay (Smith, Wynn, Helmstadter, Conlisk)

Cresting right at the end.

That’s what the Coupeville Middle School track and field team is doing, notching tons of PRs as they head towards the finish line of the season.

Cream rises to the top!!

Posted in Track, tagged 1A, CHS Wolves, Dalton Martin, Jacob Smith, Lauren Grove, relays, track and field on May 16, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Jacob Smith, seen here during a relay at sub-districts, has the 7th fastest time in the 200 among all 1A runners.

The magnificent seven continues to ride high.

With just two meets left in the track and field season (districts and state), Coupeville has seven athletes who currently own one (or more) of the best marks set in 1A this year.

Senior Makana Stone is the leader of the pack, with Top 10 times in two individual events as well as two relays.

One of those relay squads — the 4 x 200 girls — was nudged out of a top spot over the weekend.

After sitting #1 for much of the way, the Wolves (1:47.00) are now .22 of a second behind Cascade (Leavenworth), which posted its time of 1:46.78 at the Caribou Trail League Meet Saturday.

What does that mean? Showdown in Cheney in two weeks!

Of course, the Wolves can always move back up to the top at this weekend’s district meet in Bremerton, as well.

As strategy is planned, and the final days of the season unfold, take a quick moment to ogle where the Wolves stand as of May 16:

Girls:

400 — Makana Stone (2nd in 1A) 58.55

800 — Stone (8th in 1A) 2:21.89

4 x 100 — Lauren Grove, Lindsey Roberts, Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt (5th in 1A) 51.10

4 x 200 — Grove, Roberts, Hurlburt, Stone (2nd in 1A) 1:47.00

Boys:

200 — Jacob Smith (7th in 1A) 23.01

300 Hurdles — Lathom Kelley (5th in 1A) 41.48

Discus — Dalton Martin (3rd in 1A) 161-07

Still faster than you and me!!

Posted in Track, Wolves in college, tagged 10000, Huskies, Pac-12, track and field, Tyler King, U-Dub on May 16, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Tyler King, breakin’ ankles and hearts.

Tyler King is getting older, but he hasn’t slowed down.

The Coupeville High School grad, now a senior at the University of Washington, is almost at the end of his college running career, but he continues to churn out top times.

Over the weekend, he finished third in the 10,000 and 13th in the 5,000 while running for the Huskies at the Pac-12 Championships in Seattle.

King tore through the shorter race in 14:07.06, finishing in the top third of a 39-man field, then kicked it into another gear in the longer race.

Covering 10,000 meters in 29:09.15, he picked up six points for the U-Dub, helping the Husky men match the best showing in program history.

Washington finished second, behind only Oregon, which won its ninth straight mens’ team title, and the 122 points piled up were the most ever by a UW mens’ squad.

The only other time the Huskies had finished in second came back in 1976, when the league was the Pac-8.

The Washington women finished fourth, which tied a mark set three times prior (1995, 1996, 1998).

The Huskies are off to Lawrence, Kansas for the NCAA West Regionals May 26-28, then compete in the NCAA outdoor championships June 8-11.
