Three champions in one day.

Kicking off the two-day Cascade Conference Championships in style Monday, Coupeville Middle School crowned three titlists.

Wolf eighth graders Danny Conlisk (1600), Chris Battaglia (discus) and Gabe Eck (long jump) all emerged from the field in Shoreline as the best in the eight-team competition.

Much of the activity on Day 1 involved prelims, as the biggest fields were narrowed down.

The top eight in each prelim advanced on to the finals Wednesday.

Tyler King

Tyler King

Tyler King stayed up late to finish his college track season.

The former Coupeville High School standout, now a junior at the University of Washington, didn’t take to the track for his race at the NCAA West Preliminaries Championship Thursday in Austin, Texas until a hair past 10 PM.

Then, since he was running in the never-ending 10,000 meter race, he stayed up well past his bed time.

By the time he was done King had rolled across the line in 30th (out of 48 runners) in a time of 31 minutes, 39.57 seconds.

The top 12 finishers advanced on to the NCAA D-1 Outdoor Track Championships in Eugene, Oregon June 10-13.

The Huskies are sending seven athletes on, four women and three men.

They include Baylee Mires (800), Gianna Woodruff (400 hurdles), Maddie Meyers (5000), Kristina Owsinski (pole vault), Meron Simon (3000 steeplechase), Curtis Clauson (javelin) and Izaic Yorks (1500).

During his days at CHS, King won state championships in both track and cross country.

Undefeated and it feels so good.

Coupeville Middle School eighth grader Lindsey Roberts has been flawless in individual track events this season, and nothing changed Thursday in Langley.

Winning all three solo events she participated in — 200, 1600 and the 100 hurdles — she capped a 13-0 regular season.

Now she and her CMS teammates will head to the two-day Cascade League Championships at King’s June 1 and 3.

Roberts and a large pack of Wolves will still have the taste of victory on their lips, having captured wins during their season finale.

Emma Smith (shot put, discus), Chris Battaglia (discus, high jump), Danny Conlisk (200, 1600) and Gabe Eck (200, long jump) were all double winners.

Tia Wurzrainer (800), Ja’Tarya Hoskins (high jump), Jean Lund-Olsen (110 hurdles), Gabe Carlson (long jump), Megan Thorn (high jump), Mason Grove (high jump) and Jaylen Nitta (800) also reached the top of the medal stand.

Whidbey representing.

The final day of the spring high school sports season is awash in big-time performances from athletes who call The Rock home.

For Cow Town fans, the biggest news is Coupeville’s 4 x 200 girls’ relay team, which smashed the school record and claimed 3rd at the 1A state track meet in Cheney.

With sophomore Lauren Grove, senior Marisa Etzell and juniors Sylvia Hurlburt and Makana Stone running as one smoothly-oiled machine, the Wolves held off King’s at the end, coming in right on the heels of Meridian and Hoquiam.

Coupeville hit the tape at 1:46.64, while Meridian won in 1:45.95.

“It was so great!!!,” said a jubilant Hurlburt as she and teammates celebrated.

Stone then returned to solo action and finished fourth in the 400.

Her time of 59.01 trailed repeat champ Maya Jackson of Northwest (57.37) Janessa Murphy of Meridian (58.32) and Morgan Schepke of Cascade Christian (58.57).

Stone now has four state meet medals in three years, having finished 2nd in the 400 as a sophomore and 5th in the 4 x 200 as a freshman.

That unit included Hurlburt and then-seniors Madison Tisa McPhee and Jai’Lysa Hoskins.

Around the same time the relay squad went to its starting blocks, CHS netter Aaron Curtin took the court in Yakima for his fourth and final match at the 1A state boys’ tennis tourney.

After playing three intensive matches Friday, he fell 6-1, 6-3 to Mark Hay of St. George’s and claimed 8th place.

It was an impressive feat for a player from the smallest 1A school in the state who spent his spring playing baseball, then bounced back to tennis at the last second to face private school players who train year-round.

A look at the other medalists reveals school names like University Prep, Seattle Academy and Charles Wright Academy.

Then, boom, baby! Cow Town crashes the posh party.

Well played, Mr. Curtin, well played.

And, before we go, let’s take a moment to honor our brethren to the North.

Oak Harbor senior Dejon Devroe, a superb football player for the Wildcats, is also now the 3A state champ in the 800.

After finishing second in the prelims, he kicked it into gear in the main event, winning with a time of 1:52.61.

  The complete Wolf state meet contingent, including relay alternate Allison Wenzel (far left) and shot putter Skyler Lawrence (far right).

Dalton Martin saved his biggest throw for the biggest stage.

The Coupeville High School junior unleashed the discus 147 feet Friday at the 1A state track meet, shattering his PR by almost eight feet and capturing fifth place.

His previous best, which had come at the district meet, was 139-1.

Martin’s one-man, one-event performance has Coupeville in 12th place in the current team standings.

Martin and sophomore shot putter Skyler Lawrence, who finished 16th with a lob of 28-02.50, were the only Wolves to compete in finals on Day 1 in Cheney.

Makana Stone and the Wolf girls’ 4 x 200 relay unit will be back Saturday, after qualifying for the finals with their performances Friday.

Stone, who was 2nd in the 400 last year as a sophomore, cruised in to this year’s finals with a fourth place finish in the prelims.

Her time of 58.95 seconds was a season best and put her second in her heat behind defending state champ Maya Jackson of Northwest.

The Wolf 4 x 2 relay team, with Lauren Grove, Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt and Marisa Etzell, will head into the finals as the third-fastest team, having run a 1:47.29 in the prelims.

The same relay team also ran in the 4 x 100, but were disqualified when a baton was juggled and dropped on an exchange.
