You can’t keep a good sport down.

Adapting in the Age of Coronavirus, Coupeville Middle School’s athletic programs shifted to intramural play this school year.

With spring in full bloom, the Wolves have launched their final season, with coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Jon Gabelein leading a modified track and field campaign.

CMS athletes practice 3-5 PM Mondays and Wednesdays, with scaled-down meets the next four Thursdays between May 20 and June 10.

Practice tickets and a face mask are required.

While things are underway, it’s not too late to join. CMS students in grades 6-8 are eligible, and just need to contact Bitting or Gabelein.

She finished the only way she knows how — setting a PR.

Coupeville High School grad Mallory Kortuem capped her first season of college track Friday in Monmouth, Oregon, competing at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships.

Running in the 400, the Western Washington University freshman hit the line in one minute, 3.07 seconds, beating her previous collegiate best of 1:03.31.

Competing at the NCAA D-II level, Kortuem ran in six meets between March and May, performing five times in the 400, three in the 200, and once in the 4 x 400 relay.

Her college PR’s for the latter two events are 28.28, set at the Ed Boitano Invitational, and 4:17.00, accomplished at the Ralph Vernacchia Invitational.

Kortuem was a standout soccer and track athlete during her days in Coupeville, and still holds school records in the 400, pole vault, 4 x 100, and 4 x 200.

Kortuem blazing trail of success

Mallory Kortuem had a busy afternoon.

The Coupeville High School grad competed in three events Saturday at the 39th annual Ralph Vernacchia Track and Field Invitational in Bellingham.

For Kortuem, it marked the first time she’s run in a relay while at Western Washington University, and the first time she’s appeared in more than two events during a college meet.

The speedy former Wolf, now a freshman at WWU, ran a leg on a 4 x 400 unit which snagged third place, hitting the tape in four minutes, 17 seconds.

She also stepped to the line in the 400, finishing 5th in 1:03.57, and the 200, where she claimed 13th in 28.34.

Kortuem came dangerously close to breaking her college PR’s in those last two events, with her best times this season being 1:03.31 and 28.28, respectively.

During her time in Coupeville, the standout soccer and track star brought home four state meet medals — despite the pandemic wiping out her senior season — and still holds four school records.

Scan the big board in the CHS gym entranceway and Kortuem can be found atop the standings in the 400 and pole vault, and as part of record-setting 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 teams.

Oval life will keep them together.

Coupeville grads Ja’Tarya Hoskins and Mallory Kortuem are attending different colleges, but NCAA D-II track and field meets keep bringing them to the same stadiums.

Saturday, the former Wolves, who share a CHS school record in the 4 x 100 relay, competed at the Peyton-Shotwell Invitational in Tacoma.

And they did so in the same race, both lining up for the 400.

Kortuem, a freshman at Western Washington University, placed 6th in one minute, 4.27 seconds, while Hoskins, a frosh at Saint Martin’s University, claimed 12th in 1:15.15.

The duo both compete in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, and may come up against each other again before their debut season ends.

WWU is scheduled to host the Ralph Vernacchia Track and Field Meet next Saturday, May 1, and Saint Martin’s is among the schools planning to attend.
