Welcoming six other schools to Cow Town Wednesday, the Coupeville High School track and field team put on a show, picking up eight wins and 55 PR’s.

That carried the Wolves to a pair of team titles, as well, with the boys rolling and the girls pulling out a thriller.

Coupeville’s male athletes finished with 144.6 points, well ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which tallied 117.5.

La Conner (115.2) closed out the top three, with Orcas Island, Friday Harbor, Lopez Island, and Concrete rounding out the remainder of the team title chase.

On the girls’ side of things, individual wins from Reese Wilkinson (Discus), Lyla Stuurmans (1600), and Carly Burt (Pole Vault) propelled the Wolves to a 137-135 win over MVC.

La Conner tallied 127 points, with Lopez, Friday Harbor, and Orcas well back.

Reese Wilkinson lets it rip in the discus, an event she won.

Coupeville senior Nick Guay paced the boys’ squad, winning the high jump and running a leg on triumphant 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relay units.

Other winners included Carson Field (3200) and Cael Wilson (Pole Vault).

Preston Epp joined Guay in running on both victorious relay teams, with Hank Milnes, Quinten Simpson-Pilgrim, Wilson, and Marquette Cunningham each appearing once.

While the Wolves excelled in the spotlight, CHS coach Bob Martin also paid tribute to the many people who stepped up to help the school pull off a successful home meet.

“The day was not solely about the athletes competing on the track today,” he said. “It was equally about the volunteers from our community and the competing teams who came together; we were impressed!”

Keeping an eagle eye on things.

Martin also praised athletes and coaches from Coupeville’s rival schools.

“The day presented its fair share of challenges,” he said.

“Despite encountering some delays due to technical issues with our camera system, we were impressed by the patience and support demonstrated by the teams in attendance.”

Coupeville’s younger athletes will get back at it this Saturday, Mar. 23, when they compete at the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

The full Wolf roster returns to action Mar. 28 with a Northwest 2B/1B League meet in Mount Vernon.

They’re off to a strong start.

Two meets into a new season, Coupeville High School track and field athletes can be found all over the statewide top 10 rankings.

The Wolves appear in nine different categories on the boys’ side, and seven on the girls.

Leading the way are Lyla Stuurmans, Aleera Kent, Cael Wilson, and Carson Field, who each pop up in three different events.

Hot on their heels are Aleksia Jump, Preston Epp, Jasmine Castellanos, Nick Guay, and Marquette Cunningham, with two appearances each.

Overall, 20 Wolves, which accounts for about a third of Coupeville’s roster, currently grace the Top 10.

They came, they saw, they held their own.

Competing at the 23-team Rainier Icebreaker Saturday, the Coupeville High School track and field teams put in a long day’s work.

The Wolves left the gym at 6:30 AM and didn’t get back to home base until 10 PM.

But it was worth it, said CHS coach Elizabeth Bitting.

“It was a long day with some great results.

“Not only was the sun out bright and hot but our athletes were on fire today! Lots of PRs and lots of improvements.”

The Wolves racked up 27 personal bests, with 21 athletes garnering at least one.

Freshman Ivy Rudat led the way, setting records in the 200, 400, and long jump, while Kayla Crane, Myra McDonald, Reese Wilkinson, and Lexis Drake all earned two PRs.

Overall, the CHS girls finished 10th in the team standings, while the boys were 16th. Montesano claimed both titles.

Next up for the Wolves is a home meet Wednesday, Mar. 20.

But for now, Coupeville’s track stars can take a moment to bask in the afterglow of a solid performance on a big stage.

“The experience they get from invitationals like the Rainer Icebreaker is invaluable,” Bitting said. “It was a good day!”

“Our team did great today!”

From unexpectedly nice weather to athletes performing in mid-season form, Wednesday was pleasant for Coupeville High School track and field coaches.

Competing in a season-opening 10-school meet at La Conner, the Wolves swept both girls and boys team titles.

Fueled by seven wins and an astonishing 87 PR’s, Coupeville was dominant all day.

“Thanks to our unique blend of young and seasoned athletes, we achieved early personal records, fantastic weather, and even clinched a team victory!” said CHS coach Bob Martin.

“It’s an exciting start that promises more successes ahead!”

Junior Lyla Stuurmans paced the Wolves with a pair of victories, sweeping to first in both the 1600 and 3200.

Meanwhile, Marquette Cunningham and Nick Guay came up huge, both winning an individual event while also running a leg on a pair of triumphant relay teams.

The former won the triple jump, while the latter claimed the high jump crown, joining discus chucker Zac Tackett in the winner’s circle.

Preston Epp also ran a leg on both winning relay units, with Hank Milnes (4 x 400) and Cael Wilson (4 x 100) chipping in as well.

The Wolf boys cruised to the team win, finishing with 155.5 points, with Mount Vernon Christian (128), La Conner (79), and Friday Harbor (76.5) rounding out the top four.

On the girls’ side, it was all-out war, with Coupeville (113) nudging past La Conner (110) and MVC (110) at the very last second to claim the title. Lopez Island was fourth with 73 points.

The Wolves get right back at it Saturday, when they compete at the Rainier Icebreaker.

The Wolves fill up the gym.

Lexis Drake gets the stadium rockin’. (Jackie Saia photo)

Lexis Drake has gone to a different level this school year.

As we note the 24 Coupeville High School students who are making the grade as three-sport athletes, we should also hail the Wolf freshman for actually beating that standard.

Drake is among the rarest of rare in that she’s a CHS athlete who has been a part of four separate teams.

Like legendary Wolf Breeanna Messner did back in the day, Jaje’s lil’ sis balanced playing volleyball with being a football cheerleader in the fall.

Lexis delivered spikes and sets for the Wolf JV volleyball crew, where she earned the Most Inspirational award, while also working the sidelines on fall Fridays as part of the varsity cheer squad.

Pulling double duty allowed her to have a front row seat to her big bro playing his senior season of football.

After a super-busy fall, which all happened as Lexis made her own debut as a high schooler, she could have taken a break.

Instead, she immediately jumped into basketball, before picking up the track and field mantle this spring.

Throughout her odyssey, Lexis has shined brightly, putting in tons of hard work while always displaying great joy.
