Lathom Kelley is The Natural.

In six years of high school and middle school track, the Coupeville High School senior had never competed in the triple jump before Thursday.

So, how did he do in his debut on the big stage at Kingston High School?

Crushed it.

Soaring six and a half inches further than any of his foes in a 14-man field, Kelley made off with the win, one of two for him on the day.

Toss in his other victory (long jump), plus wins for Dalton Martin (discus), Makana Stone (800) and the girls 4 x 200 relay team, and Coupeville more than held its own on a day in which it faced off with three 2A schools and a pair of 1B teams.

The Wolf boys, who set 15 PRs on the day, finished second in the team standings, while the girls, who notched 14 PRs of their own, claimed third.

2A Olympic ran away with both titles, while Kingston, Port Angeles, Clallam Bay and Neah Bay also participated in the meet.

The countdown has begun.

Coupeville Middle School’s track and field team makes its debut Wednesday, with a meet in Port Townsend, and the Wolves are deep into preparations.

As they went through a practice Monday, wanderin’ photo man John Fisken, who was in town to shoot CHS baseball, softball and tennis, stopped by to snap some pics.

The photos above are courtesy him.

If you like what you see, maybe buy him a Diet Coke. I hear he likes ’em.

Jacob Smith has joined the party.

The Coupeville High School sophomore set a PR in the 200 Thursday, and his jump forward in time (or, technically, his decrease in time) propelled him into exclusive territory.

He now sits with the sixth-fastest time in the event among all runners in 1A this season.

That lands him in our semi-weekly wrap-up of Wolf track and field athletes who have times or distances which put them among the top 10 performances in Coupeville’s classification.

It’s currently a ten-pack, with six Wolf boys and four girls, all headed up by the fastest 4 x 200 girls relay team in the land.

So, without further ado, CHS Top 10 performers through Apr. 23:

Girls:

400 — Makana Stone (5th in 1A) 1:00.78

800 — Stone (4th in 1A) 2:21.89

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

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

Boys:

200 — Jacob Smith (6th in 1A) 23.08

1500 — Danny Conlisk (10th in 1A) 4:45.09

3000 — Jakobi Baumann (10th in 1A) 11:46.14

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

Shot Put — Dalton Martin (9th in 1A) 45-03

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

Pole Vault — Jordan Ford (10th in 1A) 12-00

Young thrower aims for the stars!!

Keahi Sorrows

Keahi Sorrows

Keahi Sorrows has always had a deep appreciation for space and planetary exploration.

Now the Coupeville High School freshman is spending the spring launching his own missiles through the clear blue sky as a member of the Wolf track and field team.

Sorrows is throwing the shot put, discus and javelin, continuing what he did the last two years at the middle school level.

“My friends from football said I might be good at it, so I just gave it a shot,” he said. “I enjoy the competition.”

“Shot put is definitely my favorite,” Sorrows added. “Shot put was the first field event I was excited to do.

“I feel it shows how powerful a person can be if they really put their all into the event.”

He’s aiming at a district berth in his first go-round at the high school level, and wants to battle with a fellow freshman with whom he’s always had a friendly competition.

“My friends definitely have a big impact on how I perform,” Sorrows said. “Chris Battaglia has been a person I always wanted to beat.

“We’ve been helping each other get better at our events, to be the best we can be.”

Away from sports, he spends his time hanging out with friends, listening to music and learning more about space, which has intrigued him since his younger days.

When he does go out to compete, whether in track or football (he plans to play for CHS in the fall), the rising star draws on his inner strength to overcome the odds.

And while Sorrows is making huge strides every practice, he’s always anxious to perfect his skills.

“I think my strength is my mentality to always improve in any way I can,” he said. “I would always like to work on my form.”
