He’ll rest tomorrow.

Coupeville grad Tate Wyman had a busy, and productive Friday, competing in three track and field events almost at the same time at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Outdoor Championships.

Wyman, now a sophomore at Oregon Tech, bounced between the 4 x 100 relay, the long jump, and the 110 hurdles while vying at Southern Oregon University in Ashland.

Literally.

The former Wolf ran in the relay, zipped over and did two jumps, rambled off to run the hurdles, then returned to finish his field event.

And how did he do while ping-ponging around?

Pretty dang good, as Wyman nabbed three top five finishes and two PRs before he was done.

Ayden and Devon’s big bro finished 3rd in the long jump, sailing 22 feet, 5.75 inches, beating his previous collegiate best.

He also set a PR in the hurdles, claiming 4th in 15.75 seconds, while running a leg on a relay team which earned 5th in 42.31.

The oldest of the Wyman siblings is continuing a run of excellence, as he was a top cross country runner and track athlete before graduating in 2023 from Coupeville High School.

She finished at the highest level.

Former Coupeville superstar Savina Wells capped her high school sports career Friday, competing in two events at the FHSAA Class 2A State Track and Field Championships in Jacksonville, Florida.

The younger sister of CHS grads Ulrik and Izzy is a senior at Fernandina Beach High School.

Coming off of a pair of third place finishes at regionals May 2 in Pensacola, Savina was in the mix for javelin and high jump glory at the state meet.

She opened Friday by chucking her javelin 94 feet, one inch.

Wells, who earned an 8th place medal at state in the high jump as a junior, wasn’t able to repeat as a senior, but exits holding Fernandina’s school record.

She cleared the bar at five feet, three inches in March.

Before moving to Florida with her family after her freshman year, Lyle and Katy’s daughter was a vibrant part of a tight-knit, talented group of young women who played multiple sports in Coupeville.

She was a standout from preschool on, eventually playing two years of varsity basketball for CHS, including being a starter as just an 8th grader.

On the softball diamond, Savina was a catcher for the varsity team as a freshman, hauling in pitches from her big sis.

During her time at Fernandina, she has played volleyball, basketball, and track and field.

New challenges, big performances

The first road trip was a huge success.

After competing at home in its opener, the Coupeville Middle School track and field team hit the road Wednesday, traveling to Sultan for a three-team meet.

While there, the Wolves collected 19 wins and about a million PRs, while the 8th grade girls and 6th/7th grade boys claimed team titles.

For the 8th grade girls, it was a show of complete dominance, as those Wolves won all six events they competed in.

Tamsin Ward paced CMS with three individual wins, claiming crowns in the 100, shot put, and high jump.

That gives her six victories through the first two meets of the season, and 29 for her middle school career.

Tamsin Ward sails to victory.

Also winning multiple individual titles were Ward’s fellow 8th grader, Cyrus Sparacio (800, 1600), and 7th grade thrower Diesel Eck (shot put, discus).

Whether they won or not, everyone in a Wolf uniform excelled Wednesday, said their coaches.

“Great meet today – Coupeville athletes brought their A-game,” said Brooke Crowder.

“Athletes are challenging themselves, trying new events and pushing themselves to set new personal bests.”

Jon Gabelein agreed, pointing to the fact “their stronger efforts during practice are getting good results.”

Gabelein noted the performance of Wolves such as 7th grader Zariyah Allen, who “has been working especially hard.”

She won the discus, narrowly missing 80 feet in competition after breaking that mark in her warmups.

“Launching it that far during just the second meet brought lots of positive comments from her competitors,” Gabelein said. “I look forward to helping our students continue to improve.”

Transporting a large group of young athletes across the backroads of America is also an experience.

“Traveling as a team of 60 middle school students provides all of us with a whole other dimension to our track season,” Gabelein said. “Especially when it involves a visit to McDonalds without their parents.”

The Wolves help set up the hurdles.

“They made a statement!”

The postseason is off to a roaring start.

Kicking off the final three meets of the season, the Coupeville High School track and field team put on an impressive show Wednesday at the Northwest 2B/1B League Championships.

Competing in La Conner, the Wolves racked up 13 wins and 25 PRs, with the boys romping to a team title.

Led by senior Carson Field, who swept to titles in the 800, 1600, and 3200, Coupeville’s male athletes piled up 208 points.

That put them way ahead of runner-up Mount Vernon Christian, which finished with an even 100.

Orcas Island (80), La Conner (71), Friday Harbor (53), and Concrete (11) rounded out the field.

On the girl’s side of things, MVC (211) held off La Conner (135) and Coupeville (100), with Friday Harbor (65), Orcas Island (24), and Concrete (9) bringing up the rear.

The stellar team-wide performance brought a smile to the faces of Wolf coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting on a wild ‘n woolly day.

“They made a statement!” the coaches said.

“Throw in some wind, a couple of flying canopies, a bit of blood, and unwavering grit – Coupeville tough, through and through.”

The next hurdle for the Wolves is the District 1 meet May 17, which they host.

After that is the state meet May 29-31 in Yakima for those who qualify.

The end is near.

The high school track and field season is down to its final three meets, with Coupeville set to compete at league, district, and (hopefully) state competitions over the next 26 days.

As the Wolves, and their many competitors, have battled this spring, the best times and distances across the state have been ever-changing.

One moment you’re in the top 10, the next you’re fighting to get back in, and on and on.

Each Monday we pause to take a look at the stats for athletes in the 2B classification and see how the Wolves compare with stars from other schools.
