The brief moment when (l to r) Makana Stone, Sylvia Hurlburt and Lathom Kelley are slow enough to be photographed.

Two state championships.

If the season ended now, two months early, that’s what the Coupeville High School girls’ track team would own.

The Wolves currently own the fastest time in both the 400 (Makana Stone) and 4 x 200 relay (Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt, Stone) among all 1A schools who have reported on athletic.net.

Of course, the season doesn’t end until May, so any mythical titles will have to wait, but CHS has come out of the gate strongly.

The Wolves currently sit in the Top 10 for 1A in seven different events:

GIRLS:

200 — Makana Stone (5th) 27.17

400 — Stone (1st) 1:01.09

4 x 100 — Marisa Etzell, Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt (2nd) 53.13

4 x 200 — Pelroy, Grove, Hurlburt, Stone (1st) 1:52.69

4 x 400 — Etzell, Pelroy, Stone, Lauren Bayne (5th) 4:31.31

BOYS:

200 — Lathom Kelley (4th) 23.83

4 x 100 — Jacob Smith, Jared Helmstadter, Dalton Martin, Kelley (8th) 46.87

It wasn’t his longest throw ever, but it had the biggest impact.

Launching the discus a season-best 114 feet, two inches Saturday at the Port Angeles Invitational, Wolf junior Dalton Martin captured the first win of his three-year CHS track career.

His exploits, besting an 11-man field at the 13-team meet, earned him the spotlight along side the girls’ 4 x 200 relay unit (Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Sylvia Hurlburt and Makana Stone), which destroyed all foes in claiming their own title.

Led by the relay win, and several third-place finishes, the Coupeville girls finished sixth in the team standings.

They beat 2A Kingston, outpaced Olympic League rivals Klahowya and Port Townsend and had the best finish of any 1A school.

The Wolf boys, who have a thinner roster, finished ninth.

The meet drew six 2A schools, four 1A schools and three 1B schools for an afternoon of competition.

Fast feet fuel freshman!!

Posted in Track, tagged Arnold Schwarzenegger, CHS Wolves, Jacob Smith, Lathom Kelley, Rocky, Track on March 21, 2015| Leave a Comment »

Smith and Jesse Hester (right) wait for their events.

Jacob Smith has sprinted onto the sports scene.

Literally.

The CHS freshman kicked off his third track season, and first at the high school level, at the Island Jamboree Thursday, finishing as the second-fastest Wolf boy in the 100 and 200.

The only Coupeville runner faster than him in those events was junior Lathom Kelley, a state meet contender, making for a strong showing for Smith.

Now, he only hopes to keep getting better.

“I enjoy how track gives the opportunity to make each person stronger and faster individually, making the team as a whole that much better when put together,” Smith said. “I also enjoy how track makes your skill set able to apply to other sports because it makes you stronger, faster, and more enduring.

“My main goals for the season are to make my times tied with my teams best runners, and then be in competition with them for the schools records.”

Smith plans to add the 4 x 100 relay to his sprinting, with an eye on eventually working on longer events.

“I believe that my strengths are mostly in sprinting,” he said. “If not my sprinting, then I think that my determination is the strongest part of how I compete.

“I would like to work on my longer distance running and ability to do field events effectively.”

He started running track as a seventh grader at Coupeville Middle School, going on to place third in the 400 at the league finals as an eighth grader.

“I started as soon as I got my opportunity and did it because I love having the chance to compete head on with other athletes as individuals,” Smith said.

A fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the “Rocky” films, he enjoys history class and studying comedy writing. He’s also signed up to play football as a sophomore.

Whatever he is doing, Smith finds inspiration from those close to him.

“My family as a whole has contributed majorly to how I am as a person in general and how I am as an athlete,” he said. “My father is the one that I am most like and has molded the way I act more so than anyone else.

“I am very impacted by my fellow players who accomplish major things in their sporting,” Smith added. “They inspire me to do everything I can to compete at the highest level I am capable of.”

Runnin’ between the raindrops!!

Lathom Kelley contemplates the universe, counting each individual rain drop, as he waits for his events.

Connor Thompson prepares to elevate during the high jump.

Mattea Miller sights her target carefully.

The brain trust — Wolf coaches Tom Fournier (left) and Randy King.

Jesse Hester flies so fast his shoelaces can’t keep up with him.

Abby Parker has had enough. “It’s cold and it’s wet and we should all go home and get some hot chocolate!!”

A little liquid from the skies can’t stop a track team, or an enterprising photographer.

The Coupeville High School track and field warriors trekked up to Oak Harbor Thursday to open the season, and John Fisken was there to click away.

Fast first steps!!

Posted in Track, tagged CHS Wolves, Lathom Kelley, Sylvia Hurlburt, Track, Whidbey Island Jamboree on March 20, 2015| Leave a Comment »

CHS track coach Randy King hangs out with the fleet-footed (l to r) Lauren Bayne, Lauren Grove and Abby Parker.

One meet, two big wins.

Well, three if you count the 4 x 100 relay, where the Coupeville High School girls track team cruised to victory.

Though, as Sylvia Hurlburt admitted later with a smile, “We were running by ourselves.”

Competing for the first time this season, the Wolves got wins from Makana Stone (400) and Lathom Kelley (200) at the four-team Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor Thursday.

Kelley set a PR in claiming his win, while Stone was nipped in the 200 — losing to South Whidbey’s Bailey Forsyth by .06 of a second — narrowly preventing her from being a double winner.

Hurlburt teamed up with Marisa Etzell, Lauren Grove and Kirsten Pelroy to “win” the relay, though, as the only school to enter a team in the race, they were competing against only the clock.

The meet drew all three Whidbey Island schools, 1A Coupeville and South Whidbey and 3A Oak Harbor, as well as 2A Lakewood.

Complete Wolf results:

GIRLS:

100 — Sylvia Hurlburt (6th) 14.0; Marisa Etzell (10th) 14.29
