They defeated their greatest opponent – inactivity.

Coupeville High School track and field stars haven’t competed since March 28, but four Wolves have stubbornly held on to their spots on the Top 10 lists for 2B athletes.

Three of the four saw their rankings slip just a bit, as other teens had a chance to post new times and heights, but now it’ll be their turn.

The quartet, and their teammates, return to action this coming Saturday, with an appearance at the Forks Lion Club Invitational.

After that the Wolves have four more regular season meets as April plays out, before beginning the postseason run in May.

As classes start back up, and CHS track returns to the day-to-day grind, a look at where Cow Town sits among 2B’s best:

 

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (7th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (8th-tie) 7-00

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

Pole Vault — Cael Wilson (5th-tie) 11-00

Time to get back at it.

Coupeville High School sports teams had the week off for spring break, but with the return to classes next week, the Wolves will also return to competition.

With a fury.

Both CHS softball and baseball have four games this coming week, with home clashes against Sultan (Monday) and La Conner (Thursday) and road trips to Darrington (Tuesday) and Forks (Saturday).

Meanwhile Wolf girls’ tennis is slated to travel to South Whidbey Wednesday, while track and field heads to Forks Saturday for a meet.

Coupeville’s wrecking crew is ready to rumble once more.

As everyone gears back up for competition, you might be curious where teams are sitting, win/loss wise.

If so, here you go — through games of April 7:

 

Northwest League baseball:

School League Overall
Friday Harbor 3-1 3-5
Orcas Island 3-1 6-3
MV Christian 2-1 4-4

He can throw all day!

Posted in Track, Wolves in college, tagged , , , , on April 5, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Logan Martin, living up to the hype.

Logan Martin didn’t have much down time Friday.

The Coupeville grad, now a sophomore at Central Washington University, threw in three events at the John Knight Twilight meet in Monmouth, Oregon.

Martin’s best showing came in his premier event, the hammer throw, where he placed second out of 16 competitors, launching the implement 173 feet, one inch.

He was nearly two feet ahead of the third-place chucker, and hot on the heels of eventual winner Donaven Humphries of Clackamas College.

While the hammer is where Martin wows the audience, he also competes in the shot put and discus, and placed in the top half of the field in both events in Oregon.

The former Wolf finished 11th (out of 23 throwers) in the shot put with a heave of 40-07.75 and 12th in the discus (out of 24 hurlers), with his throw plummeting back to Earth at the 120-09 mark.

His performance Friday continues a life-long odyssey of being really, really good at athletic pursuits, as Martin played soccer, tennis, and basketball in addition to track and field during his CHS days.

Central Washington is next scheduled to compete April 11 at the Whitworth Twilight meet in Spokane.

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

Fab four among state’s best

The margin is incredibly thin.

As the high school track and field season plays out, the best performance in each event constantly fluctuates. If you didn’t deliver this week, you might not be around next week.

That’s true for Coupeville, which had eight athletes appearing in the Top 10 lists for 2B schools last Monday, but only claims four berths this time around.

Wolf junior Lyla Stuurmans is still the gold standard in Cow Town, but she took the hardest hit, going from four appearances (800, 1600, 3200, 300 hurdles) to none.

Also dropping out, for the moment at least, are Carson Field (800), Issabel Johnson (Pole Vault), and Preston Epp (400).

With spring break upon us, Coupeville has no meets until April 13, but then has the stretch run with five rumbles during the second half of the month.

As we twiddle our thumbs until then, a look at the Wolves currently holding down a spot in the Top 10:

 

GIRLS:

Discus — Reese Wilkinson (5th) 104-04.50

Pole Vault — Carly Burt (7th-tie) 7-00

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Nick Guay (2nd-tie) 6-00

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