Danny Conlisk may never lose another race. Ever.

A day after graduating from Coupeville High School, the two-time state champion went out and kicked off the summer season by rolling to a pair of wins in Auburn.

Running at the Nike Xtreme Speed Christal Johnson Memorial, Conlisk scored victories in both the 200 and 400.

In the shorter of the two races, he rambled across the line in a crisp 22.38 seconds, edging out Karandeep Dhillon of Xtreme Speed (22.60).

Conlisk, who is in his second year of running for the Kitsap Fliers Track and Field Club, then crushed the field in the 400.

Leaning across in 51.14, he was a full second faster than runner-up Christopher Rogers of Auburn Elite, who clocked in at 52.14.

Conlisk is scheduled to return to action June 15 at the South Puget Sound Track Festival at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

Honors keep coming for Conlisk and crew

Coupeville hits the big board at T-Mobile Park.

Conlisk is the 9th state champ added to the Wall of Fame in the Coupeville High School gym.

Danny Conlisk got his big-city bow.

The Coupeville High School senior and other spring sports state champions were honored Wednesday by the Seattle Mariners.

Conlisk sprinted away with titles in the 200 and 400 at the 1A state track and field championships in Cheney at the end of May.

Those were the first state titles won by a Wolf since Tyler King captured track and cross country crowns in 2010.

While Conlisk, his family, and CHS assistant track coach Neil Rixe went out to the ball game, the Coupeville Booster Club was busy prepping another honor.

Jon Roberts spent part of his Wednesday morning adding new plaques to the Wall of Fame in the CHS gym, making sure they would be up before Conlisk and the Class of 2019 graduate Friday night.

And track and field isn’t the only sport benefiting.

Wolf cheer (3rd place at state) and softball (North Sound Conference champs and 9th at state) join track, which adds plaques for the boys finishing 5th at state, the girls claiming 9th at the big dance, and Conlisk winning his titles.

All your ribbons belong to us

The Wolves closed their season Friday at home with a Class vs. Class meet, won by the 8th graders.

Before leaving town Thursday for the Cascade League Championships, Coupeville Middle School track and field athletes hit up their local grocery store for a wide range of food products.

Whatever they bought seemed to do the trick, as the Wolves went off in Lakewood, throwing down 20 PR’s and breaking a school record.

CMS 8th grader Alex Murdy closed his middle school career by ripping off a run of 24.94 seconds in the 200, erasing Gabe Eck (25.82 in 2015) from the record book.

It was actually the second-straight time Murdy had shattered the mark, as he ran a 25.25 Tuesday in the prelims.

A second school record also fell Tuesday, and was officially recognized Thursday.

8th grader Carolyn Lhamon, competing in the shot put on day one, threw the orb 32 feet, 11.50 inches, more than five feet past her previous PR of 27-09.

Turns out that tops the previous CMS mark of 29-02.25, set by Morgan Pease in 2016.

What makes it even more remarkable is Lhamon has only been tossing the shot for about a month, picking it up while resting shin splints.

The record-busters drew the headlines, but Coupeville was strong across the board in Thursday’s regular season finale.

“Our athletes’ top-notch efforts, mixed with a season full of improvements earned through hard work, made our first trip to the Cascade League finals one that was full of PRs, great rankings, and even a couple of broken records,” said CMS coach Jon Gabelein.

“Even in the hot sun, nearly all runners found a way to earn a PR today.”

(Hopefully) complete Thursday results:

Suffice it to say, results seemingly weren’t posted, then they were finally found posted in the wrong place, and, even now, we’re not 100% sure everything got posted by the folks in Lakewood.

Peachy…

Launch it to the heavens

They are often the unsung heroes of track and field.

The runners zipping around the track oval do so right in front of the stands, but the team’s throwers are usually stuck off in various corners, often far away from the main hub of action.

But today we’re here to shine a spotlight on Coupeville’s throwing crew, thanks to stats from coach Bob Martin.

This season, 20 of the 32 Wolves in the CHS program tried at least one of the three throwing events (shot put, discus, javelin), with seven competing in all three exercises.

Megan Behan, Aurora Cernick, Emma Smith, Chris Battaglia, Brian Casey, Elijah Okaruru, and Raven Vick were the ultimate throwing warriors, picking up (and flinging) each of the implements.

Overall, the javelin was the most popular, with 16 Wolves trying it, while shot put apparently was the scariest, with just 10 hefting the orb.

Discus fell somewhere in the middle, with 13 giving it a go.

The chart below tracks all 20 of the Wolves who threw, detailing their first attempt during a live meet, and the best distance they landed in competition.

And before you start using all your fingers and toes to add, the two Coupeville throwers who had the biggest in-season improvement were Logan Martin and Smith.

Logan, a freshman, is the younger brother of Dalton Martin, who holds the CHS record in the discus at 161 feet, seven inches, set in his senior season in 2016.

But, way back when Dalton was a freshman, his PR was 107-02.

Logan already has him there, improving from 80-04 in his first high school meet, to 121-11 by the district meet.

That’s an in-season jump of 41 feet, seven inches, and now he has three more full seasons left to pick up the additional 39 feet, nine inches he needs to topple big bro from the school record board.

Smith didn’t jump quite as far as her younger teammate, but she did still have a heck of a senior season.

She made it to state in both the shot put and discus, and improved 20 feet, five inches during the season in the second event.

Smith whipped it 72-03 in the season-opening Island Jamboree in mid-March, then came around to hit 92-08 at districts two months later.

And now, on to a look at how all 20 of the Wolf throwers improved during the course of the 2019 season:

Thrower	Shot-First	Shot-Best	Discus-First	Discus-Best	Javelin-First	Javelin-Best

C. Battaglia	38-00.5	41-00	110-00	112-06	127-06	134-01
