Every 0.01 counts.

As the track and field season begins to wind down, the top 10 lists for 1A seem to change every hour, much less every day.

One person moves up two slots, then crashes down five rungs later in the day as meets from across the state report.

Ultimately, the only placements which truly matter will be those on the big board at the end of the state meet in Cheney in May, but it’s interesting to watch things develop right now.

Coupeville High School has one regular season meet left, this coming Thursday at South Whidbey, then heads to the postseason, with the North Sound Conference championships up first.

As we gaze at the ever-changing lists this morning, the Wolves have one athlete sitting at #1, and it’s senior Danny Conlisk in the 200.

He was also #1 in the 400 Saturday, for about 12 minutes, but now sits 0.02 behind an arch-rival from Elma he has yet to face.

And the battle rages on.

CHS athletes in the Top 10 of 1A (through 11:45 AM Apr. 21):

GIRLS:

400 — Mallory Kortuem (5th) 1:00.65

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (5th) 16.06

4 x 100 Relay — Maya Toomey-Stout, Ja’Tarya Hoskins, Kortuem, Roberts (7th) 52.35

4 x 200 Relay — Roberts, Ja’Kenya Hoskins, Kortuem, M. Toomey-Stout (8th) 1:50.68

BOYS:

100 — Jean Lund-Olsen (3rd) 11.31

200 — Danny Conlisk (1st) 22.55; Lund-Olsen (3rd) 22.96

400 — Conlisk (2nd) 50.16

4 x 100 Relay — Lund-Olsen, Tiger Johnson, Sean Toomey-Stout, Conlisk (10th) 45.30

Triple Jump — S. Toomey-Stout (10th) 39-11

Small town, big results.

Staring down runners from every state classification at the 112-team Nike Eason Invitational in Snohomish Saturday, a duo of Coupeville runners more than held their own.

CHS senior Danny Conlisk, going toe-to-toe with the best from 4A-1B, claimed two medals, finishing second in the 400 and seventh in the 200.

His teammate, junior Jean Lund-Olsen, didn’t make it out of the prelims in the 100 or 200, yet still set a PR in the first race and ran some of the fastest times any 1A runner has netted in 2019.

Conlisk went straight to the finals in the 400, entering as the #3 seed, then beat the pre-race predictions.

His time of 50.16 seconds was a season-best, narrowly missing his PR of 49.70.

The only foe he couldn’t catch was Ethan Willems of 4A Glacier Peak, a junior who has returned after missing a season with a torn ACL to be the fastest runner in the entire state in the 400.

In the 200, Conlisk busted out a PR (22.55) in the prelims, then ran 23.06 in the final.

He’s ranked #1 in the 200 and #2 (by 0.02 of a second) in the 400 among all 1A runners.

Lund-Olsen just missed the cut in the 100, finishing 12th in a personal-best 11.31 seconds, then claimed 19th in the 200 prelims in 23.18.

He was in the top half of both events, which had 41 and 43 runners in the prelims, respectively.

With one more regular meet before the postseason begins, Lund-Olsen is ranked #3 in 1A in both the 100 and 200.

They come for us, but they can’t beat us

All your ribbons are ours. Well, almost all of them.

The Coupeville High School girls track team dominated Thursday, winning 12 of 15 events it competed in during a three-team meet at Sultan.

With Lindsey Roberts claiming three individual titles, while Emma Smith, Mallory Kortuem, and Maya Toomey-Stout each won two events, there was little room on the podium for their rivals.

Alana Mihill also won an event, and Coupeville swept the 4 x 1 and 4 x 2 relays, propelling itself to an easy win in the team standings.

The Wolf girls finished with 81 points, while Cedar Park Christian (64), and Sultan (19) were left in their rear-view mirror.

Over on the boys side, Coupeville, which was missing several key athletes, finished second, trailing CPC 87-47, while the Turks collected 38 points.

The CHS boys did claim five titles, with Sean Toomey-Stout (a two-time winner), Koa Davison, Kyle Burnett, and Jean Lund-Olsen sharing the glory.

Coupeville has one more full team meet, Apr. 25 at South Whidbey, before beginning the postseason journey.

The North Sound Conference championships are May 2, followed by sub-districts, bi-districts, and the state meet, as the Wolves chase medals, memories, and a little bit of glory.

One meet is all it takes.

Competing in the 4 x 400 relay for the first time this season Saturday, the Coupeville High School girls track squad threw down the gauntlet.

A unit comprised of senior Lindsey Roberts and juniors Lucy Sandahl, Mallory Kortuem, and Maya Toomey-Stout roared to a 3rd place finish while running against 4A, 3A, and 2A schools at the Lil’ Norway Invitational.

Even before they had a chance to collect their ribbons, the blazing finish vaulted the Wolves relay team into the top 10 among all 1A schools this season.

So now, with two regular-season meets left to run, the CHS girls sit among the elite in all three relay events, and that’s just the start for Coupeville.

Danny Conlisk (400) and Jean Lund-Olsen (200) remain the #1 seeds in their respective events, while 10 Wolves are in the top 10 at least once.

CHS athletes in the Top 10 of 1A (through 11:17 AM Apr. 14):

400 — Mallory Kortuem (4th) 1:00.65

Big meet, bigger results

Track and field exists in its own special universe.

It’s one of the few sports where success really, truly doesn’t depend on the size of your high school student body.

Sure, when it comes to team scoring, the more athletes that pour off the bus the more likely you are to soar up the big board.

That was proven once again Saturday, as a pair of bigger 2A schools claimed team titles at the Lil’ Norway Invitational in Poulsbo.

Port Angeles topped 13 schools, ranging from 4A to 1A, to win the girls crown, while Lynden topped the boys.

Coupeville, with the smallest student body of any school at the meet, placed 5th in boys, 7th in girls.

But track and field is the rare sport where you can throw the size of your school out the window, then go out alone (or as part of a relay unit) and take down all challengers.

Saturday it was the duo of Jean Lund-Olsen and Danny Conlisk who soared above, proving fast legs come from every classification.

Lund-Olsen pulled off the sweep, roaring to victories in the 100 and 200, while narrowly holding off his own teammate in the latter event.

Conlisk dominated in the 400, and made his competitors rise to the occasion.

While the CHS senior did NOT set a PR, the next seven runners across the line all hit personal bests or season bests.

And yet the closest finisher to Conlisk was still 2.63 seconds behind him, which is a HUGE gap in the event.

While the Wolf boys were throwing down in the sprints, the best performance by a Coupeville girl came from Mallory Kortuem, who smashed her own school record in the pole vault.

The Wolf junior soared up into the skies, clearing the bar at an even eight feet, three inches better than her previous best, set at last year’s district meet.

Complete Saturday results:
