No rust.

There was a two-week gap between the first and second meets, but the Coupeville High School track and field team hasn’t lost a step.

Traveling to Concrete Thursday, the Wolves combined to claim seven first-place finishes at a Northwest 2B/1B League meet, including sweeping both of the boys relays.

Perennial state power Mount Vernon Christian claimed first in the team standings, sharing girls honors with Grace Academy.

Coupeville finished second on the boys side, and third on the girls.

The trip to Concrete was a late addition to the schedule, as La Conner was originally supposed to host.

Kudos to the Lions for stepping up and putting on a track meet — easily the most-complex of any high school athletic competition — with little advance warning.

Down on the field, Logan Martin led the way for the Wolves, claiming titles in the shot put and discus, while Aidan Wilson was tops in the long jump.

Carolyn Lhamon (shot put) and Ryanne Knoblich (high jump) conquered all challengers in their events, as well.

The Wolf boys relay teams featured Wilson, Reiley Araceley, and Sam Wynn in both races, with Dominic Coffman filling out the lineup in the 4 x 100 and Mitchell Hall taking his place in the 4 x 4.

Coupeville returns to action March 25, when it travels to Mount Vernon.

Let her fly (far, far away)

He’s closing the gap, fast.

Coupeville High School junior Logan Martin is chasing older brother Dalton, coming for his school record in the discus.

And now the margin between the two, which once stood at 40 feet, has been narrowed all the way down to eight feet.

Dalton’s record, set in 2016, stands at 161 feet, seven inches and was accomplished at the Olympic League Championships. Two weeks later, he claimed second-place at the state meet.

In 2019, Logan capped his freshman season by nailing a throw of 121-11 at districts, then had his sophomore campaign erased by the COVID shutdown.

Jump forward to 2021, and his first discus heave, two weeks ago in the season-opening Northwest 2B/1B League meet in Coupeville, landed at 141-02.

A great start, but Logan has since smashed that PR, launching a throw of 153-07 during a virtual meet this past week.

Now, he and his Wolf teammates return to live competition Thursday, when they travel to the wilds of Concrete for another league meet.

Hoskins makes college track debut

She’s official.

Coupeville grad Ja’Tarya Hoskins made her college track and field debut Saturday, competing for NCAA D-II Saint Martin’s University at the PLU Opener in Tacoma.

The former Wolf finished 9th in the 200, crossing the line in 28.86 seconds, which beats her high school PR.

The meet, the first Saint Martin’s has attended in a year thanks to the pandemic, also featured Seattle Pacific University, the University of Puget Sound, and host Pacific Lutheran University.

Hoskins, a freshman who is studying pre-law, is next set to compete March 20, when Saint Martin’s travels to Seattle Pacific.

During her days at CHS, she was a key part of two teams which went to state.

In their first year back as a competitive squad after a six-year break, the Wolf cheer squad claimed 3rd place at the big dance during her junior season.

She and her teammates then qualified for nationals the next year.

On the track oval, Hoskins teamed with Mallory Kortuem, Maya Toomey-Stout, and Lindsey Roberts to place 5th at state in the 4 x 100 relay.

The quartet hit the tape in 50.54 seconds, and they currently sit on the big board in the CHS gym as school record-holders.

Big wins, bigger return

Dominic Coffman finished 2nd in the high jump.

There was some wind, some rain, and some sports again.

The first two are a given on Whidbey Island, but the ongoing pandemic has made the final part of the equation a lot harder to find.

Thursday marked the first time in 387 days that a Coupeville High School athletic team has competed against other schools in any sport.

For the Wolf track and field squad, which got to launch the return to play by hosting an eight-team meet at Mickey Clark Field, it’s been a lot longer.

650 days to be exact, going all the way back to May 25, 2019 — the final day of the state meet in Cheney.

Only one current Wolf, junior Ja’Kenya Hoskins, was in action that weekend, with longtime CHS coach Randy King welcoming almost a completely different group of athletes this time around.

Seniors Catherine Lhamon and Aurora Cernick and junior Logan Martin are the only other Wolves who had competed in a CHS meet before Thursday rolled around.

The new batch might not be grizzled vets, but they still had a pretty strong debut, however.

The Wolf boys, led by wins in the shot put and discus from Martin, and a victory from their 4 x 100 relay team, finished third in the team standings.

La Conner claimed top team honors with 166.83 points, followed by Mount Vernon Christian (115) and Coupeville (93.33).

Rounding out the boys side of things were Grace Academy (31.5), Friday Harbor (31.33), and Concrete (10).

On the girls side, Coupeville had a lot less athletes available Thursday, but still finished fourth out of seven teams.

La Conner (136 points) led the way, followed by Grace Academy (128), MVC (97), Coupeville (42), Friday Harbor (38), Shoreline Christian (12), and Concrete (3).

Earning top honors for the CHS girls were the Lhamon sisters, with senior Catherine winning the 1600 and sophomore Carolyn coming out on top in the shot put in her high school track debut.

Coupeville racked up 36 PR’s in the season opener.

Complete Thursday results:

GIRLS:

100 — Ja’Kenya Hoskins (7th) 14.92

Randy King has seen some things in his 237 years at the helm of the Coupeville High School track and field program. The whole mask thing is just another wrinkle.
