“Eat my dust, old man!!”

Fun fact: in between races, Neil Rixe does his taxes.

Desi Ramirez finds her inner Zen before unleashing the shot put.

It’s a paparazzi shoot-off at high noon (or, more likely, about 4:45 in the afternoon).

Clear skies, but it’s raining PR’s

Posted in Track, tagged , , , , on March 23, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Ryanne Knoblich and Josh Guay competed in a track meet Wednesday and claimed Student of the Quarter awards from the Coupeville Lions Club.

Everything hummed along beautifully.

Coupeville High School hosted its first home track and field meet of the season Wednesday, the weather was sunny, and the Wolves dominated on the stat sheet.

By the time the final event was done, and the other six schools had departed, CHS had locked down a win in the boys’ team standings, and second place in the girls’ competition.

The Wolf boys destroyed all rivals, piling up 219 points, while runner-ups Mount Vernon Christian and Friday Harbor sat well behind with 108 and 94.5 points, respectively.

Coupeville’s female competitors went toe-to-toe with MVC, with the Hurricanes edging the Wolves 223-184. No one else was within 100 points of the top two.

Orcas Island, La Conner, Grace Academy, and Lopez Island rounded out the field, joining Coupeville, MVC, and Friday Harbor in the royal rumble.

When it came to individual athletes, the Wolves earned 11 wins and 90 PR’s.

Aidan Wilson (400, triple jump) was a two-time winner, while also joining Hank Milnes, Mitchell Hall, and Nick Guay on the fastest 4 x 400 relay squad.

Lyla Stuurmans (400), Claire Mayne (100 hurdles), Carolyn Lhamon (shot put), Katie Marti (javelin), Ryanne Knoblich (high jump), Zac Tackett (discus), Hall (1600), and Guay (high jump) also captured titles.

Coupeville returns to action this Saturday, when its younger stars compete in the Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

The click of the camera, the ping of the phone.

However they capture the moment, photographers are out there, everywhere, documenting spring sports in Coupeville and in towns near and far.

The photos above and below showcase Wolf track and field, girls’ tennis, softball, and baseball, with nary a rain drop in sight.

It’s still really early.

The state track and field championships are a solid two months away, and Coupeville High School is scheduled to appear in 10 more meets between now and then.

But … if the season ended today, the Wolves would have a new state champ.

Wolf track soars at Rainier

Maybe call him “Murdy the Magnificent.”

Coupeville High School senior Alex Murdy brought the thunder Saturday, besting 42 competitors to win the long jump at the Rainier Icebreaker Invitational.

Splashing back to Earth with a PR-earning jump of 19 feet, 10.25 inches, he was almost eight inches ahead of his nearest rival.

Spurred by Murdy’s performance and a win in the 800 from Aidan Wilson, the Wolf boys claimed 4th place out of 27 schools.

Coupeville’s girls’ squad, which got 4th place finishes from Ryanne Knoblich (high jump) and Lyla Stuurmans (400), placed 9th in the team standings.

In addition to Murdy and Wilson’s individual achievements, the Wolves also brought home a third title thanks to a co-ed 4 x 400 relay team made up of Claire Mayne, Stuurmans, Nick Guay, and Wilson.

Saturday’s meet drew teams from multiple classifications, with Washington state 2A, 1A, 2B, and 1B schools represented.

There was also a school from Oregon, and another from British Columbia.

Coupeville, which made nearly a 250-mile round-trip to Rainier, gets right back at it next week, with three meets in a span of four days.

The Wolves host a seven-team league meet Wednesday, Mar. 22, then travel to Bellingham Mar. 24 and Stanwood Mar. 25 for large invitationals.
