One of the smallest schools made some of the biggest noise.

Competing at the 23-team Dave Snyder’s Lil’ Norway Meet in Poulsbo Saturday, Coupeville High School shocked the track and field world in the mixed 4 x 100 relay.

Lining up against big school rivals North Kitsap, Bremerton, Lindbergh, and Clover Park, the Wolves, repping a 2B-sized student body, hit the tape first in a meet record 52 seconds, almost two seconds ahead of the second-place school.

The CHS unit, comprised of Lillian Ketterling, Richmond Bandong, Tamsin Ward, and Liam Blas, includes three sophomores and a freshman.

“Great way to end the meet!!!” said CHS coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin as they likely exchanged high fives all the way back to Cow Town.

Coupeville made a last-second detour to even attend the Lil’ Norway meet, as it was originally slated to travel to Forks Saturday before shuffling things.

Bellarmine Prep and Aberdeen took full advantage of deep rosters to claim the girls and boys team titles, respectively, while the Wolves were 17th and 19th.

Along with the huge win in the mixed 4 x 100, Coupeville picked up 12 PRs on the day.

CHS is back in action next Saturday, April 25, but much closer to home, when the Wolves host the Cow Town Classic Invite at Mickey Clark Field.

Wolf track alumni dazzle college fans

Tate Wyman

New weekend, new highlights.

Coupeville grads Tate Wyman and Taygin Jump, competing in different parts of the country, both delivered strong performances as collegiate track and field athletes this weekend.

The former, a junior at Oregon Tech, was at the Raider Invitational in Ashland, Oregon, while the latter, a junior at Plattsburgh State in New York, was busy at the Middlebury Invitational in Vermont.

Wyman delivered a 3rd place finish in the long jump, soaring 21 feet, 4.75 inches, and a 4th place performance in the triple jump, touching down at the 40-02.75 mark.

He also ran in the 100 (11.35 seconds) and 200 (23.12) while competing in the maximum four events.

Meanwhile Jump was busy chucking things, setting a PR in the hammer throw, where she launched her implement 135 feet, four inches to claim a 3rd place finish.

She rounded things out with 8th place finishes in the javelin (79-03) and discus (92-11), staying busy as the day unfolded.

When they’re not competing in the arena, Wyman and Jump are studying Embedded Systems Engineering Technology and Environmental Planning, respectively.

Has hammer, will throw

Khanor Jump

The odyssey continues.

Coupeville High School sophomore Khanor Jump competes alongside his Wolf track and field mates during normal meets, then heads off on his own one-man missions.

Since the hammer throw is not including in most Washington state prep meets, Taygin and Aleksia’s brother has been competing in a series of events hosted by Evergreen State College.

This past Sunday, in the fifth go-round this season, Khanor finished 6th, chucking his implement 119 feet, two inches.

That is his PR in the event, smashing his previous top throw by a solid two feet.

While the hammer throw is not part of the traditional WIAA state meet, the series culminates in a championship event of its own.

Last year, Khanor finished 22nd as a freshman, the second-best performance for a 9th grader.

No bus and ferry for them.

Competing at home for the first time this spring, the Coupeville High School track and field team picked up four wins and 37 PRs Wednesday during an 11-team rumble at Mickey Clark Field.

On a partially sunny prairie afternoon, the Wolves got victories from Tamsin Ward (shot put), Cyrus Sparacio (1600), Davin Houston (high jump), and George Spear (3200).

It was the fourth win this season for both Ward and Sparacio, as the fab frosh continue to lead the way for CHS.

Meanwhile, wily vets Spear and Houston each collected their first victories of the spring, with the latter setting a PR in his event.

Overall, the La Conner boys and Mount Vernon Christian girls claimed team titles, with Coupeville finishing third and fourth, respectively.

Wednesday’s meet was the first in two weeks for the Wolves, who last saw competition back on April 1 in Mount Vernon.

Now that it’s back in action, Coupeville will stay busy, heading to North Kitsap Saturday for the 23-team Dave Snyder’s Lil’ Norway Meet.

That’s a detour, as CHS was originally slated to compete in the Forks Lion Club Invitational but will instead vie with a deep field including schools such as Auburn, Bethel, Port Angeles, and Klahowya.

Spring is sizzlin’.

Maybe not weather wise, where most events have played out in cold, gusty prairie wind, and the occasional burst of rain, but Coupeville High School sports teams are racking up wins.

Softball is 9-0, baseball sits at 7-2, and girls’ tennis is a solid 2-2, while track and field has battled for titles at every meet this season.

Who knows? At some point the sun may come out and stay out.

Until then, we have the pics seen above and below to warm up the souls of Wolf parents.
