Coupeville Middle School pulled off a successful home track meet Tuesday, with a little help from parents, coaches, athletes (MS and HS), fans and local paparazzi.

The camera clicker wandering the fringes, firing away, was John Fisken, and the pics above are courtesy him.

Young guns claim the track!!

   “And never come back!” Jordyn Rogers heaves the shot put to somewhere up around Oak Harbor.

Elizabeth Bitting was a tired, but very happy, coach Tuesday night.

With a lot of help, she and her Coupeville Middle School track and field team pulled off a very successful home meet that played out under sunny skies.

The Wolves hosted Chimacum and Blue Heron and other than a few hiccups in running the hurdles, things went pretty peachy.

“The day went well,” Bitting said. “We had teachers, parents, high school coaches and high school athletes volunteer. ALL were amazing!!!

“I had many comments as to how professional they were and how the high school athletes took command of their events,” she added. “It was great seeing (CHS coach) Randy King step in as our starter!”

For her young athletes to compete on the same track as the high school stars do, and enjoy a still fairly brand-new set-up, is something for which Bitting is very grateful.

“Middle school had some PR’s; all had great attitudes! Lots of smiles!,” she said. “I think they were happy to be able to run on their track and have friends and family watch and cheer them on!”

Rip the track up!!

If you bought early on Jacob Smith stock, it’s about to pay off.

The Coupeville High School senior is getting quicker as the season winds down, and, with his performance Friday at the Olympic League Finals, he’s positioned himself as a legitimate state title contender.

Smith, who shattered a 31-year-old school record in the 100, is the second-fastest male runner in all of 1A in the event.

Add the 200, where he sits as the third-fastest, and the 4 x 100, where he and his teammates are in 7th place, and he’s on target to have a busy time in Cheney at the end of May.

Smith, who has two state meet medals to his credit, has a chance to join elite company if he makes it to state and does well.

Only 21 Wolf track and field stars have won three or more medals during their career and only eight have gone as high as five.

Coupeville junior hurdler Lindsey Roberts, who has also been a top 10 fixture all season, has four medals.

One more and she joins Makana Stone (7), Natasha Bamberger (6) and Yashmeen Knox (5) as the only CHS girls in the Five-Timers Club.

For the moment, though, the Wolves sit a little under two weeks until districts, and three from state. While they train, all they can do is watch the rankings.

While the Olympic League meet is in the books, other conferences haven’t run their events yet. So, expect a little shuffling in the Top 10 lists, even at the top.

But, at this exact moment, 8:31 AM, Sunday, May 6, here’s how Coupeville stacks up against the best of 1A:

 

Girls:

100 Hurdles — Lindsey Roberts (7th) 15.82 *Same position on charts*

 

Boys:

100 — Jacob Smith (2nd) 11.12 *Up three slots*

200 — Smith (3rd) 22.87 *Up one slot*

4 x 100 — Jean Lund-Olsen, Cameron Toomey-Stout, Sean Toomey-Stout, Smith (7th) 45.01 *Down one slot*

High Jump — Ariah Bepler (3rd) 6-02 *Up one slot**

Beat us on our track? Never!!

It ended the only way it could, with the Wolves atop the podium.

Whether individually, in relay groups, or finally, as complete teams, Coupeville High School thoroughly dominated the 1A Olympic League track and field finals.

Competing at home Friday, the Wolves bested Port Townsend, Chimacum and Klahowya, sweeping both the girls and boys team titles.

Toss in two school records, 17 wins and 33 PRs, plus the fact they advanced 24 athletes (at least) to districts and the weather wasn’t the only thing sizzling.

Plus, CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith didn’t end up in the hospital when a wayward discus soared over his head and clanked to the ground mere inches away, so … bonus.

The league tourney, which sends its top three in each event on to districts May 18-19, took place under sunny skies, with a few wispy clouds trailing the runners and throwers as they warmed up.

Longtime CHS track coach Randy King, brandishing twin starters pistols and wearing the look of a man about to storm a high-rise, Die Hard-style, was mildly optimistic at the beginning.

“It’s … going. It’s been … going … since 9 AM… We’re … getting … (deep sigh) … there.”

Five hours later, King was all smiles, as his teams romped and the meet went off almost without incident — though watching two high jumpers play Rock, Paper, Scissors to break a second-place tie was slightly unusual.

The Wolf boys ran away with 11 victories, led by senior Ariah Bepler, who set PRs in all three of his wins.

Jacob Smith and Sean Toomey-Stout popped on top of the podium four times apiece, twice as individuals and twice as relay team members, while Smith delivered the biggest bang of the afternoon.

Already the school record-holder in the 200, he busted the mark in the 100 Friday, toppling a record which had stood since 1987.

Bill Carstensen ran a 10.90 back in the hand-timed days, which translates to 11.14 now. Smith went under that by the length of his nose, hitting the tape at 11.12.

He was joined in busting a school record by sophomore Mallory Kortuem, though the length of time the pole vault mark she toppled had stood was a lot more modest.

The splendid sophomore soared seven feet, six inches, going half a foot better than the previous record … set by Kortuem herself earlier this season.

The Wolf girls nabbed six wins as they edged Klahowya 98-85 for the team title.

Port Townsend (68) and Chimacum (19) rounded out the score sheet.

On the boys side, the battle was close for much of the day until the Wolves pulled away in the latter stages for a 119-75.5 triumph over Klahowya.

PT (50.5) and Chimacum (16) were well back.

Coupeville now goes into a wait-and-watch-and-train mode.

Districts pits the Olympic League against the Nisqually League, with the top two in each event heading to Cheney for the state meet.

If you finished in the top three Friday, you know you’re going to districts. But, if you finished #4, you have to wait a week to find out your fate.

The Nisqually League doesn’t hold its meet until next weekend.

When it does, the top four finishers there advance, while their #5 will be compared to the OL #4, with the better time or distance getting the final slot at districts.

Bring your wallet, track fans!!

Want to see Wolf track stars like Lindsey Roberts or Jacob Smith compete for a league title?

Get ready to fork over some greenbacks.

The 1A Olympic League finals, which are set to go down 2 PM Friday at Coupeville High School’s track complex, will be on a pay-to-watch basis for fans.

CHS Athletic Director Willie Smith confirmed Thursday that the event is being operated under the same guidelines as all other postseason events.

Ticket prices:

Adults and students w/o ASB – $8
Students (with ASB) – $5
Elementary (under 12) – $4
Senior Citizens (62+) – $5

Also, there will be only one entry point open Friday, and that is through the gate off the elementary school.

The back entrance by the baseball field will not be used for the event, so if you choose to park in the baseball/softball parking lot, expect to walk all the way around.

The league finals brings Chimacum, Port Townsend and Klahowya to town to face off with the Wolves.

Top three finishers in each event Friday punch their ticket to the district meet May 18-19 in Renton.

Districts fills out its eight-athlete draws by taking the top four finishers from the Nisqually League, then awarding the final spot to the better time/distance between the OL #4 and NL #5.
