Every second counts, every inch matters.

As we wind our way towards May, the number of regular season track and field meets dwindle, with the onset of the postseason just on the horizon.

Taking our weekly look at how Coupeville High School athletes stack up against other 2B stars, we have movement from last Monday.

A scan of the top 10 marks in each event show the Wolves going upwards four times, with sophomore Katie Marti jumping back into the elite in the javelin.

Aidan Wilson (400) and both 4 x 400 relay squads are also trending up after strong showings at the GearUp Eason Invitational, while CHS remains in the top 10 in 13 of the other 15 events it previously occupied.

And for those two guys (briefly) bumped from the list by newcomers — Nick Guay in the 200 and Tate Wyman in the 300 hurdles?

Both remain in the top 10 in other events, plus have a chance to compete again Saturday, April 29, when the Wolves attend the Sunny and 70’s Invitational in Lakewood.

Where CHS ranks in 2B as of April 24:

GIRLS:

100 — Monroe Myles (10th) 13.52

Welcome to the BIG time.

The 33rd annual GearUp Eason Invitational drew track and field athletes to Snohomish Saturday from 91 different schools, encompassing two states and two countries.

Washington state teams were joined by squads from Oregon — including a 6A school — and British Columbia, with Coupeville High School the only “B” school in attendance.

And while the Wolves didn’t pull off any wins, they did get a Top 10 performance in the shot put from senior Carolyn Lhamon, who was 9th in a field of 40 throwers.

While the competition was extreme, CHS coaches and athletes came away pleased with their effort.

“A little rain, less sun, lots of clouds and some beautiful PR’s!!!!,” said Wolf track guru Elizabeth Bitting. “Long day and a successful one!

“They all did amazing! Especially those 4 x 400 relay teams,” she added. “Three of the four girls and two of the boys attended JUST for that race AND they were the very last events.

“Such a long day for them! Super proud that both teams PR’d!”

Even qualifying for the meet was super-intensive, with only the best of the best making the cut.

Having Aidan Wilson get the invite in four events, while fellow senior Tate Wyman made it in three warms Bitting’s heart.

“That’s impressive,” she said. “We might be small, but we are mighty!”

Martin makes next-level throws

Logan Martin

Logan Martin was in a groove.

Competing in the Wildcat Open in Ellensburg Saturday, the Central Washington University freshman defended his home turf in style.

Martin, a 2022 Coupeville grad, claimed 6th place in the hammer throw and 9th in the discus, while competing in fields of 17 throwers.

The former Wolf nailed a PR in the hammer, letting it rip 167 feet, nine inches, while just missing a PR in the discus, where his implement returned to Earth at the 137-05 mark.

During his time at CHS, Dalton Martin’s younger brother played basketball, soccer, and tennis, as well as bringing home three 2nd place medals from the state track and field championships.
