It’s a deep roster.

Coupeville Middle School track and field coaches Paige Spangler and Jon Gabelein had 54 athletes turn out for the first week of practice.

There may be a few changes before the Wolves reach their first meet, which is at home Apr. 27.

Ever shifting, ever changing.

As seemingly thousands of high school track meets play out across Washington state, the top times and distances are constantly tweaked.

One thing which has remained consistent is a strong Coupeville presence, especially on the boys side of things, when you look at the top 2B performers.

The Wolves have three regular season meets left in April, then charge into the postseason beginning the first week of May.

As they prep for the stretch run, a look at CHS athletes who are currently among the top 10 performers in an event through Apr. 18:

 

GIRLS:

400 — Lyla Stuurmans (6th) 1:04.73

4 x 200 Relay — Stuurmans, Ayden Wyman, Ryanne Knoblich, Ja’Kenya Hoskins (7th) 2:01.11

High Jump — Knoblich (6th-tie) 4-10

 

BOYS:

200 — Caleb Meyer (10th) 24.38

400 — Meyer (2nd) 52.68

800 — Aidan Wilson (7th) 2:10.84

1500 — Mitchell Hall (8th) 5:07.85

4 x 100 Relay — Meyer, Reiley Araceley, WilsonDominic Coffman (4th) 46.45

Logan Martin had himself quite a day.

The Coupeville High School senior won the discus and hammer throw Saturday, and narrowly missed out on adding a title in the shot put while competing at the 21-team Lil Norway Invitational at North Kitsap Stadium.

Sparked by Martin’s performance, the Wolf boys, repping one of the three smallest schools in the field, finished fifth in the team standings.

Lynden, a 2A powerhouse, took top honors in the boys battle, while tying with Central Kitsap for the girls team title.

Martin, who has already signed to compete for Central Washington University, more than held his own against throwers from big-school rivals.

The invitational featured schools from all six classifications, with 15 of 21 teams coming from 2A, 3A, or 4A.

Letting it fly, Martin claimed second in the shot put, tossed a season-best in the discus, and went ballistic in the hammer throw.

His throw of 163 feet, five inches is not only the best by a Washington state high school athlete this season — second-best is 108-01 — but is also the seventh-best in the entire nation.

It’s believed to be a school record, though there is currently no mark for the hammer throw listed on the record board in the CHS gym.

That’s likely because the event is only held a few times a year, and is not currently part of the state championships.

It is, however, an event which Martin plans to compete in full-time as a college athlete.

Logan Martin launches.

Martin and his Wolf teammates had been out of action for two weeks plus, with their last meet way back on Mar. 31.

Coupeville gets two meets next week, heading to Oak Harbor Apr. 20 and the Gear Up Eason Invitational in Snohomish Apr. 23.

CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting were thrilled with the high points Saturday — Martin’s two wins and 15 PR’s for the team — while taking special joy in how their squad held up against the big boys (and girls).

“For being a small school, our boys did excellent!!!,” Bitting said.

“They can run/throw/jump with the big schools and hold their own! Very proud of them all! What a day!

“The girls ran amazingly,” Bitting added. “Whether they competed in the rain, hail, wind, they gave it their all and always had a smile on their faces.

“They know how to find the joy in all they do. So proud of them all!!! Woot! Woot!! GO WOLVES!!!”

No games, but plenty of photos.

With spring break having sprung, Coupeville High School sports teams are taking a few days off between competitions.

But, thanks to photo whiz kid John Fisken, you can fill at least 11.2 seconds of the down time perusing the photos seen above and below.

They come from Wolf tennis, track, softball, and baseball games, and you can practically feel the rain, wind, and cold temps of spring sports in each new image.

To see more of what Fisken has shot this school year, and years past, pop over to:
