Tamsin Ward is right back at it.

A year after winning 11 events during her debut middle school track and field season, the now 7th grader got off to a strong start Wednesday, claiming three more titles during the season opener.

Overall, Coupeville earned 20 wins (and approximately 1,002 PRs) as it faced off with visiting Lakewood.

Ward, whose 11 wins were the most for a CMS girl since Lindsey Roberts won 18 during her 8th grade season in 2015, came out on top in the 100, shot put, and high jump on an overcast prairie afternoon.

She was joined as a three-time winner by 6th grader River Simpson, who came out of the gate strongly with victories in the 100, 4 x 100 relay, and long jump.

Coupeville’s 7th grade girls crew appears deep and talented, as Hyley Farrell (4 x 1 and 4 x 2) and Elizabeth Marshall (100 Hurdles, 4 x 2) also won multiple titles.

CMS coaches Amber Wyman and Jon Gabelein have an astonishing 77 athletes out for track, as Cow Town’s numbers are booming.

“Our first track meet of the year was definitely a big adventure,” Gabelein said.

“Our athletes set great personal baseline marks that they can now begin to work hard to improve throughout the season. All of the positive attitudes and good sportsmanship made a big difference.

The Wolves return to competition next Wednesday, May 1, when they travel to Granite Falls.

Wolf track stars among state’s best

There’s movement on the charts.

After several weeks of having four Wolves on the top 10 lists for 2B athletes, the Coupeville High School track and field team has added to its numbers.

Coming off of strong performances at a home meet, CHS juniors Lyla Stuurmans and Katie Marti join Reese Wilkinson, Cael Wilson, and Nick Guay among the state’s current best.

At the same time, Carly Burt, through no fault of her own, slips off the charts for the moment, as several pole vaulters passed her best height.

But never fear, the week ahead presents two more opportunities for the Wolves to throw down top times, heights, and distances.

Coupeville is slated to travel to Lynden Thursday and Lakewood Saturday as the regular season comes to an end.

Where the Wolves land on the top 10 charts through April 22:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (8th) 1:04.72

Shot Put — Katie Marti (8th) 33-05

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (9th) 105-09

Long Jump — Stuurmans (5th) 15-08

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (3rd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (4th-tie) 11-00

Wild weather, titanic throws

Survive and thrive.

That’s the goal at large track and field meets like Saturday’s Lil’ Norway Invitational at North Kitsap High School.

Call it a success then, as Coupeville, repping one of the smallest student bodies at the 20-team event, held its own, garnering a win in the girls’ discus and 12 PRs.

Wolf senior Reese Wilkinson brought home the title, emerging from a field of 33 throwers.

Not only did she set a PR, but she finished seven feet, six inches ahead of the #2 thrower.

Also having a strong day chucking things was junior Katie Marti, who earned third place finishes in both the javelin and the hammer throw.

She was making her debut in the latter event and was joined by fellow first-timers Erica McGrath and Mason Butler.

Lynden, a powerhouse at the 2A level, held off North Kitsap to claim both the girls and boys team titles, while the Wolf girls made a strong statement, finishing eighth.

As often happens during “spring” in Washington state, the day was full of weather twists and turns.

“Mother Nature never ceases to surprise us with what she has in store for us on our weekend invitationals,” said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“What started out as a beautiful sunny, warm day ended with gusty winds, light rain, no power and freezing cold athletes.

“Thank goodness those in charge of timing had a generator so the meet could continue.”

While many of the athletes in attendance hailed from large schools, the Wolves never flinched from the challenge.

“Our athletes held up nicely next to the bigger schools,” Bitting said. “There were a few who just missed out on the podium but regardless ran, threw and jumped well.”

Coupeville returns to action next week, with its final two regular season meets.

The Wolves are slated to travel to Lynden Thursday, then to Lakewood next Saturday, before veering off to start the postseason the week after.

CHS grads show up, show out

Everywhere you look, a former Wolf busy at the next level.

Multiple Coupeville grads competed Friday and Saturday in college sports events, from track and field to baseball.

How they did:

 

Taygin Jump:

The Plattsburgh State freshman earned points for her team in both her events at the Middlebury Outdoor Invitational in Vermont.

Jump finished third (out of 11 competitors) in the javelin, chucking it 94 feet, four inches, then came back around to claim sixth (out of 12) in the hammer, with a throw of 113-02.

 

Joey Lippo:

A senior at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, he recorded three hits and scored twice Saturday in Cambridge as the Owls were swept in doubleheader diamond action.

UMPI, which sits at 2-15 on the season, gets right back at it Sunday with another twin bill against the same school.

 

Logan Martin:

The Central Washington University sophomore was at home during the CWU Wildcat Invitational in Ellensburg.

Martin finished fifth in the hammer (out of 21 throwers), launching the implement 170-02, while also claiming eighth (of 20) in the discus with a lob of 135-04.

 

Tate Wyman:

The Oregon Tech freshman was super-busy this weekend, competing in four events at the Raider Invitational in Ashland.

Wyman opened by nailing a PR of 23.53 seconds in the 200 Friday, then ran in the 110 hurdles (16.88), 400 (57.39), and 4 x 100 relay (45.22) a day later.

Snappin’ in the sunshine

Give a teen a camera and let them show you a different side of the story.

Jackie Saia does such a great job with her yearbook class at Coupeville High School, and, as the year has unfolded, it’s been impressive to see what her students are capable of producing.

Today the focus moves to Thomas Studer, and a group of pics he shot at a recent home track meet.

As always, I appreciate Saia and her students being willing to share their work through my blog.

This is impressive, immersive work.
