The pole vaulters got them on the scoreboard.

Freshman Axel Marshall and junior Cael Wilson captured Coupeville’s first medals Friday during day two of the 2B state track and field championships.

Competing at Zaepfel Stadium in Yakima, Marshall soared 18 inches higher than his previous PR to finish fifth, while Wilson claimed 8th in the event for a second-straight season.

Marshall is the 88th Wolf to earn a state meet medal in the modern era (1963-2024).

While the duo were the only medal winners for Coupeville, the Wolves did nail down six PR’s on the day.

The three-day meet wraps Saturday, kicking off with the “opening ceremonies,” then getting into another full day of competition.

Coupeville will have Aleera Kent (3200), Carson Field (3200), Nick Guay (High Jump), Carly Burt (Pole Vault), Aleksia Jump (Pole Vault), Reese Wilkinson (Discus), and Zac Tackett (Discus) in action during the finale.

And so it begins.

The three-day 2B state track and field championships kicked off Thursday in Yakima, with two of Coupeville’s 18 athletes competing.

Wolf junior Carson Field and freshman Kayla Crane ran in the 1600 just hours after getting off the bus.

Field finished 15th in four minutes, 59.08 seconds, while Crane hit the line in 16th in a time of 6:13.63.

Things pick up considerably Friday, with Coupeville athletes slated to compete in nine events at the Don Holder Track at Zaepfel Stadium.

Various Wolves will vie in finals in shot put, javelin, triple jump, and pole vault, as well as in prelims in the 200, 400, 800, and 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relays.

Wolves push hard for finish line

The odyssey begins.

The middle school track and field meet that’s too big for just one day began Wednesday in Lakewood, as seven schools clashed in the opening round of the Cascade League Championships.

Day one featured a mix of prelims and finals, with Wolf 7th grader Tamsin Ward crowned as league shot put champ.

The victory was her 11th of the season, tying her with her performance as a 6th grader.

Ward and associates will have another chance to capture glory next Wednesday, May 29, when Cascade League competitors return to Lakewood to finish off the two-day season-closer.

With Coupeville halfway to the finish line, coaches Jon Gabelein and Amber Wyman are feeling good about what the Wolves have accomplished, and what’s still ahead.

“We had 63 students here today,” Gabelein said. “I am very proud of the work so many of our athletes have been doing throughout our season.

“The results of their hard work really showed up tonight!”

It’s been a season-long quest, and the young Wolves have made a solid commitment to growth and improvement.

“Students often hear me say that their great accomplishments are not because of luck or magic,” Gabelein said. “They are proof of their continued hard work and being willing to push themselves to be even better.”

One day from departure.

The Coupeville High School track and field program sends 18 athletes to Yakima Thursday, where the 2B state championships await.

The season concludes in a three-day whirl of competition, with most of the activity set for Friday and Saturday, most likely under warmer temps than we currently have on Whidbey.

As the Wolves count down the hours until they leave town, here’s a look back at action from the bi-district meet in Coupeville.
