Clickin’ in the rain!!

Allison Wenzel gives her braid a pep talk before the duo teams up to zip around the track oval.

Ariah Bepler slices through the weather, on his way to somewhere a little drier.

Having taken the hand-off from Madison Rixe, speedy Wolf Lauren Bayne prepares to launch the booster rockets hidden in her shoes.

Rain or shine, there’s always time for a group pic.

Guarding the safety of the baton with both hands, Danny Conlisk seeks to finish what Jared Helmstadter began.

Mckenzie Meyer (and her awesome socks) get dramatic with partner in crime Rixe.

The only moment all afternoon when rival runners were even in the same frame with speed demon Makana Stone. Seriously.

Dalton Martin dances the PR dance, launching the discus 161 feet, seven inches — three feet and two inches better than his previous top mark.

Through sun or rain, the cameraman is always there.

While the weather flip-flopped all day Saturday for the Coupeville High School track and field team as it competed at sub-districts in Bremerton, the show still went on.

Wanderin’ photo clicker John Fisken stayed warm by bouncing all around the stadium, seeking out photos both action-packed and intimate.

The nine snazzy pics above are courtesy him.

Utter domination!!

Sylvia Hurlburt, here with mom Kristin on a sunnier day than Saturday, won three races Saturday and qualified for districts in a fourth.

Sylvia Hurlburt stalked the oval like a caged lioness, her eyes burning through anyone who dared to step into her path.

Then, a slight hidden smile, and the Coupeville High School senior dropped the hammer, taking the baton from close friend Makana Stone and hitting the jets to completely obliterate whatever small resistance still stood in the path of the Wolf 4 x 100 relay squad.

As Hurlburt blazed down the back stretch, ballet-trained legs churning, she romped across the finish line nearly two seconds ahead of her closest rival — an eternity in the event.

A solid punch to the solar plexus of anyone who dared to step to her and teammates Stone, Lauren Grove and Lindsey Roberts, it was the perfect stamp to a very impressive Saturday for the CHS track and field squad.

Competing head-to-head with their three 1A Olympic League rivals at the sub-district meet in Bremerton, the Wolves piled up 12 wins and 13 PRs while sending a wave of athletes on to next weekend’s district meet.

The final stop before the state tourney, districts, which pits the best of the Olympic League vs. the cream of the Nisqually League, will be May 20-21, back in Bremerton.

To get there, the Wolves had to claim a top three finish Saturday.

For those who finished fourth, a small flicker of hope will live on, until they find out if their time or distance was better than the fifth-place finisher from the Nisqually League meet.

Demonstrating depth across the board, Coupeville tied Klahowya 77-77 for the 1A girls title, edging out Port Townsend (76) and Chimacum (24).

The Wolf boys finished second, narrowly nipped 82-78 by Klahowya in a case of what-could-have-been.

Port Townsend (65) and Chimacum (38) rounded out the team scores.

The question mark comes from two injuries suffered early in the meet.

Lathom Kelley and Gabe Eck both claimed PRs in the long jump, but tweaked things while jumping in hazy rain conditions and sat out the rest of the meet.

Those who did stay on their feet had huge days, topped by Dalton Martin, who shattered PRs in the shot put, discus and javelin by a combined total of nearly 10 feet.

His wins in the shot put and discus were matched by victories from Danny Conlisk (800), Jordan Ford (pole vault), Mitchell Carroll (triple jump), Stone (400, 800), Hurlburt (200), Roberts (long jump) and both the 4 x 1 and 4 x 2 girls relay squads.

The Wolves netted 32 district qualifiers, and may kick that up to 35 after the Olympic and Nisqually League compare sub-districts results.

A preliminary scan of Athletic.net seems to indicate Jared Helmstadter (400) and Eck (long jump) will slide through, as their fourth-place marks Saturday trump the #5 result posted in the Nisqually League.

Wolf frosh Chris Battaglia, who went 4-10 in the high jump to finish fourth, has the exact same mark as that put up by Zach Douglass of Bellevue Christian, fifth in the Nisqually League.

How that tie will be decided is unknown.

Run wild, young Wolves!!

They went a long way for a lot of PRs.

Having made it off the Island — unlike the high school softball squad, which was left high and dry by a low tide — the Coupeville Middle School track and field team made it to the mainland Tuesday and wandered down to Sequim.

Once there, the Wolves put on a run ‘n gun show, battling their hosts and Forks in a three-team meet.

“LOTS of PR’s!!!!,” said a very happy coach, Elizabeth Bitting, after she, fellow track guru Bob Martin and their team completed the long trek and finally made it back home.

The track sheets I have only listed yesterday’s times, though, so you’ll have to guess where the records were set.

Think of it as a fun little side game.

Some Wolves saved their best for last.

Competing Monday in Silverdale at the Olympic League JV Championships, four Coupeville High School track stars set a pair of personal bests.

Emma Smith, Ashlie Shank, Dominic Dausey and Ariah Bepler recorded two PRs apiece, part of a team-wide run of 10 on the day, at an event known as the “last chance qualifier.”

With all 11 Olympic League teams (seven 2A and four 1A schools) in attendance, athletes had a final chance to nail a time or throw which would qualify them for next weekend’s sub-district meet at Bremerton.

To gain entry to that event you have to be in the top eight for your event among all 1A athletes in the league.

From there, athletes have the chance to advance on to districts and state.

While Monday’s meet was mostly about individual achievement, team scores were kept, with Klahowya taking the boys title and the Eagles tying with Port Townsend for the girls title.

Coupeville, which had one of the smallest rosters in attendance, still did well, claiming fifth of 11 teams in the boys battle and 7th for the girls.

The Wolves were led by three second-place finishes, with Alexxis Otto (shot put), Jakobi Baumann (3200) and Bepler (long jump) besting most of the field.

GIRLS:

100 — Ashlie Shank (8th) 14.63 *PR*; Madison Rixe (11th) 14.90

Runnin’, gunnin’ and stunnin’!!

Plus one.

The Coupeville High School track and field squad emerged from the first round of the postseason — Saturday’s Olympic League All-Division Championships — in fine fashion.

The Wolves were the top 1A team in both the girls and boys team battles, while getting one of the state’s best performances from senior pole vaulter Jordan Ford.

He soared 12-6, shattering his own school record, while putting himself back up among the best 1A vaulters in 2016.

That means Coupeville has athletes in the top 10 in eight different categories heading into next week’s sub-district meet.

Makana Stone jumped four spots in the 400, Jacob Smith edged up two slots in the 200 and the girls 4 x 200 remained #1 in 1A, while dropping its time slightly.

Wolves who have one of this year’s 10 best performances in 1A:

Girls:

400 — Makana Stone (2nd in 1A) 58.55

800 — Stone (7th 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 (1st in 1A) 1:46.90

Boys:

200 — Jacob Smith (7th in 1A) 23.01

300 hurdles — Lathom Kelley (4th in 1A) 41.48

Discus — Dalton Martin (3rd in 1A) 158-05

Pole Vault — Jordan Ford (9th in 1A) 12-6
