The Wolves marinate in the moment. (Kelly Powers photos)

Every day she’s making history.

Coupeville Middle School 8th grader Tamsin Ward won a pair of titles Monday at the Cascade League Track and Field Championships in Lakewood, continuing to add to her treasure chest of awards.

Rolling to victory in the shot put and high jump on day one of the two-day event, she sits with 16 wins this season and 39 for her CMS career, with five league titles to her credit.

Ward, who won the high jump as a 6th grader and the shot put and 100 as a 7th grader, will have two more shots at glory Thursday.

That’s when she and the Wolves head out for their final road trip of the season, returning to Lakewood to wrap up the seven-team meet.

Having qualified for the finals in the 100 and 200, Ward can put a stamp on her middle school days.

Her 16 wins this season are the second-most for a CMS athlete, trailing only Lindsey Roberts, who won 19 as an 8th grader in 2015, while her 39 career victories are a school record.

Tamsin Ward uncorks a winning throw.

Ward was joined on the winner’s podium Monday by 6th grade thrower Les Queen, who edged out teammate Diesel Eck to claim the discus title.

Overall, 15 of the 24 events Coupeville competed in on day one were prelims, as the fields in the sprints were trimmed down.

Along with strong work from Ward and Queen, the Wolves also got 2nd place performances in finals from Eck (Discus), Annaliese Powers (800), Brian Thompson (Long Jump), and Laurel Crowder (High Jump).

Mia Goers celebrates a PR.

Regardless of where each athlete finished, CMS coach Jon Gabelein came away impressed with his young stars and the weather.

“With the sun and a light breeze, it was a perfect day for a track meet,” he said.

“While we had lots of great performances, throwing, jumping, and running with the best in the league can make all of them even stronger.

“Being a part of this tougher competition may even be responsible for generating some of their PRs today.

“I am proud of all the growth and success that our athletes have worked so hard for throughout our season.”

Laurel Crowder burns up the track.

Katie Marti, hammer chucker and shenanigans causer. (Christi Messner photo)

One more event, one more big-time stage.

A day after the state track and field championships wrapped up, two Coupeville High School athletes took part in the Washington State Hammer Championships.

Held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, the event is a bit of a wild card, as the hammer throw is not part of the festivities hosted by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association.

That didn’t deter Wolf senior Katie Marti or freshman Khanor Jump, who were in the thick of things, chucking the implement into the sunny skies.

Marti, coming off a 7th place performance in the shot put at the WIAA shindig, earned 9th Sunday, flinging her hammer 95 feet, eight inches.

Jump, following in the footsteps of older sister Taygin, now a college hammer chucker at Plattsburgh State in New York, was 22nd in the men’s competition with a heave of 95-07.

Kimberly Beard of King’s and Robert Akers of Hermiston claimed the titles.

Overall, 44 high school athletes competed in the event.

And that’s a wrap. (Bob Martin photo)

It’s a fairly exclusive club.

Since the modern era of state track and field meets began in 1963, there have been 99 Coupeville High School athletes who have earned at least one medal.

Of those, 10 — eight boys and two girls — have captured a state title, with the first being Jeff Fielding in the 3200 in 1979 and the most-recent being Alex Murdy in the long jump in 2023.

Fresh off this year’s 2B championships in Yakima, we’ve adjusted the all-time tally to reflect where things currently stand.

Cael Wilson picked up three medals this spring, finishing his CHS career with five, while there are six Wolves on the list eligible to return in 2026 for another go-round.

They picked up some more mementos.

Capping three days in warm, windy Yakima, the Coupeville High School track and field team earned medals in four more events Saturday at the 2B state championships.

Overall, nine different CHS athletes are bringing at least one medal home with them this season, with senior Cael Wilson topping things with three, including a 2nd place finish Friday in the high jump.

He finishes his run in the red and black with five state medals, tying him with older brother Aidan.

The siblings account for two of the 13 Wolves to collect five or more medals in the modern era of state meets, which kicked off back in 1963.

The other eight Coupeville medalists in 2025 all collected their first one — or first and second in the case of relay aces Preston Epp and Chase Anderson.

That puts CHS track and field on the edge of cracking triple digits next spring, with 99 Wolves having earned at least one medal over the last 62 years.

This season, eight of the nine medalists were boys, with that squad finishing 10th in the team standings.

The Wolves tallied 24.50 points, with Freeman edging Saint George’s 75-60 to take the crown.

Coupeville’s fellow Northwest 2B/1B League mates, Mount Vernon Christian (9) and Orcas Island (6.50) claimed 21st and 25th, respectively.

On the girls’ side, Marti picked up two points for her work in the shot put, placing CHS in a tie for 35th with NWL rival Orcas Island.

Saint George’s cruised to a team title, crushing runner-up Freeman 103-66.50.

NWL squad La Conner claimed 4th with 43 points, while Mount Vernon Christian (18) and Friday Harbor (17) were 14th and 15th.
