All the medals will be ours

They’re chasing history, one race at a time.

When a new track and field season starts a week from today, six Wolves will step into the first day of practice having already won at least one medal at the state meet.

Five of those CHS athletes are seniors, with one a sophomore.

Leading the pack of potential returnees is Mallory Kortuem, who’s snagged four medals, including a 2nd in the 400 last season.

Earn some more hardware in Cheney this May, and the quicksilver sprinter/relay ace can finish her prep career as one of the most-decorated CHS female athletes ever.

Tied with Sylvia Hurlburt and Lauren Grove currently, Kortuem is hot on the heels of Yashmeen Knox (five medals), Natasha Bamberger (6), Makana Stone (7), and Lindsey Roberts (8).

Should she finish atop the podium at the state meet — Alma Manzo of Conell, who nipped her in the 400, has graduated — and Kortuem would exit with an even-bigger moment.

There have been nine state champs from CHS, but only two female winners.

Bamberger won four track titles and a cross country crown in the ’80s, with Amy Mouw claiming the 800 title in 2003.

While Kortuem is on the cusp of immortality, she has some company, with fellow seniors Maya Toomey-Stout and Jean Lund-Olsen entering their final campaign having already collected three state meet medals apiece.

Wolf 12th graders Sean Toomey-Stout (2) and Ja’Tarya Hoskins (1), and 10th grader Ja’Kenya Hoskins (1) also boast shiny hardware of their own.

As a new track and field season comes hurtling towards Wolf fans, athletes, and coaches, a look at the all-time CHS state meet medal count, covering the modern era of 1963-2019:

Conlisk chases college dreams

He’s passed the halfway point.

Coupeville’s Danny Conlisk competed in his fifth collegiate track meet Saturday, running at the Ted Nelson Classic in Mankato, Minnesota.

The former Wolf star, now a freshman at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, has an eight-meet schedule for the indoor part of the season.

Then, after a month-long break (from competition, not training) Conlisk and the rest of the Hardrockers head outside, where it’s hopefully warmed up a bit.

Saturday, the CHS grad competed in two events, running the 400 and carrying the baton as part of the 4 x 4 crew.

Conlisk and his relay squad claimed 3rd, combining to run the event in three minutes, 28.13 seconds.

The Hardrocker freshman also finished 20th (out of 42 competitors) in the 400, hitting the line in 52.80 seconds, just off his college PR of 52.40.

He was second in his heat.

SDSM&T returns to action next weekend, when the ‘Rockers head to Brookings, South Dakota for the SDSU Indoor Classic, which runs February 14-15.

After that, Conlisk and Co. have the Stinger Open Feb. 22 at Black Hills State University, then the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Indoor Championships Feb. 28-29 in Colorado Springs.

The first outdoor meet is Mar. 27.

During his time at Coupeville High School, Conlisk set school records in the 100, 200, and 400, while winning state titles in the last two events.

Every day a new adventure.

Running in his fourth indoor track meet as a collegiate athlete Saturday, Coupeville grad Danny Conlisk vied in three events, including one he hadn’t tried since his middle school days.

Now a freshman at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, an NCAA D-II school, the former Wolf ran in the 60, 400, and 4 x 400 at the Myrle Hanson Memorial Open at Black Hills State University in Spearfish.

Running the second leg in the relay, he helped his Hardrockers squad to a 3rd place finish, as they combined to hit the line in three minutes, 33.96 seconds.

Conlisk also claimed 4th in the 400, finishing in 53.18, and 10th in the 60 in 7.37.

The last time he ran the short race was back in his days at Coupeville Middle School.

Saturday’s race attracted five schools, with Black Hills welcoming SDSM&T, MSU Billings, Rocky Mountain College, and Dickinson State to town.

The Hardrockers get right back at it next weekend, as they travel to Minnesota State University-Mankato Feb. 8 for the Ted Nelson Classic.

Before beginning his collegiate career, Conlisk built himself quite a legend in Cow Town.

During his days at CHS, he ran cross country and track, made it to state in both sports, and won a pair of state titles in track.

Wander into the gym foyer and you’ll also see the name Conlisk all over the track and field record board, as he set school-bests in the 100, 200, and 400 as a senior.

Three meets in, and he’s getting faster.

Coupeville High School grad Danny Conlisk, who’s now a freshman at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, continues to tear up the track during his first collegiate season.

Saturday, Conlisk and his Hardrocker teammates were in Spearfish at Black Hills State University for the Dave Little Invitational.

While there, the former Wolf ran in the 200 and the 4 x 400, setting a college PR in his solo event.

Conlisk finished 7th in the 200, hitting the line in 24.03 seconds.

He also ran the second leg on an all-freshman relay unit which claimed 4th place in the day’s prime team-up.

The Hardrockers were competing against five other schools Saturday, with MSU Billings, Rocky Mountain College, Chadron State, and Dickinson State joining SDSM&T and the meet hosts.

Conlisk and Co. return to the same track next Saturday, February 1 for the Myrle Hanson Memorial Open.

During his time in Coupeville, Conlisk was a two-time state champ, winning titles in the 200 and 400 as a senior.

He holds CHS records in the 100, 200, and 400.
