No competition, no worries for Wolf track stars

Can’t touch ’em.

With spring break sweeping the land this week, Coupeville High School track and field athletes didn’t compete.

Turns out they didn’t need to, as no one bumped the nine Wolves currently in the Top 10 for 1A even a single slot.

Not that there wasn’t movement in the rankings.

Andrea Markezich of Bear Creek (3200), Grace Patterson of Northwest (300 Hurdles), and Samuel Van Peursem of Cedar Park Christian (discus) all jumped to the #1 slot in their event Saturday.

But no one came for the idle Wolves, who continue to top two events (men’s 100 and 400), while appearing in the Top 10 in eight more.

After a quiet week, Coupeville gets a chance to get back at it in the coming days.

The Wolves have a home meet Thursday, with North Sound Conference foes King’s and Cedar Park coming to Whidbey, then hit the road Saturday to attend the Lil’ Norway Invitational.

As they prep for a return to competition, a look at the athletes who currently sit among the state’s best:

 

CHS athletes in the Top 10 of 1A (through 9:50 AM Apr. 7):

 

GIRLS:

400 — Mallory Kortuem (3rd) 1:00.65

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (2nd) 16.06

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

4 x 200 Relay — Roberts, Kortuem, Ja’Kenya Hoskins, M. Toomey-Stout (3rd) 1:50.82

High Jump — Roberts (10th) 4-11

Intensity, thy name is Wolf

In between compiling track stats, Madison Rixe solves errors in Einstein’s theory of relativity. Why? Cause she can.

Chris Battaglia loves his javelin very deeply. He might have given it a name. But some days, you just have to let go, and hope she comes back to you.

“I rake and I rake, and then, just when it’s looking nice, someone comes along and jumps right in the middle. Little punks…”

Helene Lhamon juggles celebrating her birthday with cheering for daughter Catherine.

Elijah Okaruru tries to puncture the skies.

Track super fans (l to r) Sherry Roberts, Lisa Edlin, and Danny Bonacci go all paparazzi during the hurdles competition.

Lucy Sandahl displays the eye of the tiger as she cruises to one of her two wins on the day.

Sun, track and field action galore, and frequent camera clicks.

As the six-team Coupeville Invite played out Saturday at Mickey Clark Field, wanderin’ paparazzi John Fisken captured a wide variety of shots.

The pics seen above are just a small fraction of what came out of his camera(s).

And, if you should purchase any glossies, you’ll be giving back, as a percentage of all sales goes to fund scholarships for CHS senior student/athletes.

Set the pace, every race

As March fades into April, two Wolves are favorites for state track titles.

Coupeville High School senior Danny Conlisk and junior Jean Lund-Olsen currently top all 1A runners in the 400 and 200, respectively.

The duo headline a group of nine Wolves who appear in the Top 10 of at least one event.

Conlisk and fellow senior Lindsey Roberts appear in a team-best four categories, while Lund-Olsen and Mallory Kortuem show up three times apiece.

While everyone’s first inclination is to look at the front-runners, the most impressive showing might be coming from Roberts.

Everyone knew she was a superior hurdler and relay runner, but she picked up a new event this week, taking on the high jump.

Presto, a week in and two meets down, and Lou is #10 in 1A.

Plus, having already hit four feet, 11 inches, Roberts is just three inches off the school record of 5-02, set 20 years ago by Yashmeen Knox.

 

CHS athletes in the Top 10 of 1A (through 10:40 PM Mar. 31):

 

GIRLS:

400 — Mallory Kortuem (3rd) 1:00.65

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (2nd) 16.06

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

4 x 200 Relay — Roberts, Kortuem, Ja’Kenya Hoskins, M. Toomey-Stout (3rd) 1:50.82

High Jump — Roberts (10th) 4-11

 

BOYS:

100 — Jean Lund-Olsen (2nd) 11.36; Danny Conlisk (4th) 11.49

200 — Lund-Olsen (1st) 22.96; Conlisk (3rd) 23.26

400 — Conlisk (1st) 50.63

4 x 100 Relay — Lund-Olsen, Tiger Johnson, Sean Toomey-Stout, Conlisk (6th) 45.30

Long Jump — S. Toomey-Stout (5th) 20-3.75

Come to our oval, expect to lose

Ja’Kenya Hoskins, training with Sean Toomey-Stout, set a PR in the 200 while also running a leg on two winning relay teams.

Invade Whidbey, get wrecked.

Defending their home turf with authority, the Coupeville High School girls track and field team roared to a team win Saturday at the six-team Coupeville Invite.

Piling up nine victories, including two individual wins each for Lucy Sandahl, Mallory Kortuem, and Lindsey Roberts, the Wolves held off Cedar Park Christian 137-101.

Mount Vernon Christian (100), Clallam Bay (67), and Crescent (7) rounded out the race.

Sandahl blazed to wins in the 800 and 1600, Roberts notched triumphs in the 100 hurdles and high jump, and Kortuem doubled her pleasure by claiming titles in the 400 and pole vault.

Catherine Lhamon also claimed first in the 3200 on mom Helene’s birthday, while the CHS 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 relay squads couldn’t be caught.

Those units were comprised of Roberts, Kortuem, and the quicksilver Hoskins sisters, Ja’Kenya and Ja’Tarya.

On the boy side, Coupeville nabbed wins in the 100 (Jean Lund-Olsen) and 400 (Danny Conlisk), while claiming third in the team race.

Mount Vernon Christian topped that battle with 166 points, staying well ahead of Cedar Park (128), Coupeville (92), Clallam Bay (50), and Crescent.

Lummi had a handful of athletes competing, but didn’t score in either team race.

After two meets in three days, Coupeville is now off until April 11.

The Wolves won’t have to go far for that meet, as they will once again be home, with King’s and Cedar Park scheduled to come to Whidbey.
