We’re entering the stretch run, where every second and every inch counts big-time.

High school track and field enters the postseason this week, with Coupeville traveling to La Conner Wednesday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

After that, depending on performance, is districts and the state meet.

That means, across the state, every track athlete is gunning to throw down PR’s, which creates near-constant movement on the top 10 charts.

Coming off of strong work at Saturday’s Sunny and 70s Invitational, seniors Claire Mayne and Tate Wyman hurdle their way back into the mix for a top spot.

Also jumping onto a top 10 chart is fellow 12th grader Taygin Jump, who made her debut in the hammer throw an auspicious one.

At the same time, several Wolves who sat out Saturday’s meet find themselves bumped off the list, for the moment at least.

And, in a side note, there’s the case of sophomore Katie Marti, currently ranked #10 in the javelin with a throw of 98 feet, 10 inches.

Paul Messner’s granddaughter also has a throw of 100-04, which came at the one-team Coupeville Classic Invitational.

While listed as Marti’s PR, that lob has not been acknowledged as an official mark yet, however, because of complicated regulations on how results are reported, and what is considered “official” and “unofficial.”

With that in mind, a look at where the Wolves rank state-wide among 2B athletes as of May 1:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (6th) 1:03.76

Can’t hold ’em down.

Despite being the only “B” school in the 26-team field, Coupeville High School track and field held its own Saturday at the Sunny and 70 Invitational in Lakewood.

The Wolves claimed 13th in the boys’ standings and 14th in the girls, while 4A Kamiak (boys) and 3A Stanwood (girls) took home team titles.

Plus, the Wolves finished ahead of next-door neighbor South Whidbey, a 1A school, on both sides of the ledger, always a sweet cherry on top of the sundae.

The popular meet drew three 4A schools, four from 3A, seven from 2A, and 11 from 1A to go with 2B Coupeville.

Things actually started Friday with the hammer throw, and Wolf senior Taygin Jump made her debut in the event, finishing 9th against seasoned competitors.

Saturday’s meet, in which Coupeville athletes scored 11 PR’s, was the last regular-season event on the schedule.

The Wolves travel to La Conner Wednesday for the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

After that is the district meet, held May 13 in Coupeville, and the state meet May 27-29 in Yakima.

Another day, another milestone.

Coupeville grad Logan Martin nailed a PR in the hammer throw Saturday at the Ralph Vernacchia Invitational in Bellingham.

Now a freshman at Central Washington University, the throwing ace finished 3rd out of 16 competitors, launching the implement 178 feet, seven inches.

Martin also came back around to claim 7th in the discus (out of 21 dudes), with his throw slamming back to Earth at the 136-11 mark.

Overall, he picked up eight points for the Wildcats.

During his time at CHS, Martin played soccer, tennis, and basketball in addition to earning three state meet medals for the track and field team.

He was a key part of a senior class which led the Wolf boys’ basketball team to an undefeated 16-0 regular season, league title, district title, and trip to the state tourney in 2022.

“The team did amazing!”

It didn’t take Tamsin Ward long to catch people’s attention.

Competing in her first middle school track meet Wednesday, the Coupeville 6th grader captured wins in both the 100 and shot put.

Besting fields of 38 and 14 athletes, respectively, Ward helped spark the CMS 6th/7th grade girls to a team win as well.

The young Wolves finished with 90 points to host South Whidbey’s 77, while Granite Falls and Northshore Christian Academy brought up the rear.

Coupeville finished 2nd in the boys 6th/7th grade team rumble, led by wins from 7th grader Nick Laska in the shot put and discus.

The Wolf 8th grade girls finished 3rd, while the CMS 8th grade boys were 4th in their battle.

Ward and Laska’s double victories led the way as Coupeville won nine events.

7th graders Marin Winger (400), Lillian Ketterling (discus), Shiloh Sandlin (800), and Roger Merino-Martinez (200) also captured the top rung on the ladder, while a girls 4 x 200 squad made up of 7th graders Niella Bryan, Denali Kalwies, Amelia Crowder, and Lisette Bentabou hit the tape first.

With the first meet of the season in the books, CMS coaches were flying high afterwards.

“The team did amazing!” Amber Wyman said. “There were some tears, scrapes and lots of nerves, but these athletes came to compete!

“I am so proud of all they accomplished.”

That was a feeling shared by Jon Gabelein.

“It was a great first meet with lots of top-notch performances!” he said.

“While some athletes may have been nervous about getting out there on week one, they can now take their first PR and generate improvements throughout the season.”

CMS hosts its next two meets, which are set for May 4 and 10.
