The shoes were tightly tied, the shot puts were flying and the cameras were clicking.

Thursday brought the start of a new high school track and field season, and the presence of all three Whidbey Island schools in one location was enough to draw John Fisken out of hiding.

The camera bug hit the Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor, and the Coupeville-heavy pics seen above are courtesy him.

The smallest school held its own.

Facing off with their Whidbey rivals Thursday at the Island Jamboree, the Coupeville High School track and field team won eight events and set 39 PRs.

South Whidbey, a fellow 1A school, also won eight events, while host Oak Harbor, a 3A institution, captured 12 titles.

Coupeville was led by Jacob Smith, who roared to victories in the 100 and 200.

Joining him at the top of the hill were Skyler Lawrence (shot put), Jacob Martin (long jump), Lindsey Roberts (100 hurdles), Cassidy Moody (high jump), Mitchell Carroll (triple jump) and Allison Wenzel (javelin).

Martin and Wenzel set PRs in their wins, while Moody, a freshman, was participating in her first official high school track meet.

It was a record-setting day all around, as 25 Wolves notched at least one career best, with 14 nailing two PRs during the meet.

The veteran and the (sorta) newbie owned the day.

Coupeville High School senior track and field stars Makana Stone and Jordan Ford took home a pair of first-place finishes Thursday, highlighting the Wolves performance at the season-opening Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor.

Stone, who has been ripping up ovals while carrying Coupeville’s colors for the past three years, won handily in her 800 debut, while also running a leg on a victorious 4 x 100 relay unit.

That squad included fellow senior Sylvia Hurlburt, junior Lauren Grove and freshman Lindsey Roberts, who is replacing the graduated Marisa Etzell.

Ford, who moved to Coupeville for his senior year, made an auspicious debut, winning the high jump and teaming with Gabe Eck, Jacob Martin and Jacob Smith to place first in the 4 x 100.

Full disclosure: both CHS relay units ran in uncontested races, so they were competing against the clock only.

Mitchell Carroll rounded out the Wolf winners, out-dueling teammate Connor Thompson in the triple jump.

The jamboree, which featured Coupeville, South Whidbey, Lakewood and host Oak Harbor, limited athletes to two events.

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

200 — Makana Stone (2nd) 27.17

400 — Stone (1st) 1:01.09

800 — Abby Parker (6th) 2:54.82; Mattea Miller (8th) 3:10.09

1600 — Lauren Bayne (8th) 6:19.96

4 x 100 — Etzell, Kirsten Pelroy, Lauren Grove, Hurlburt (1st) 53.13

Shot Put — Skyler Lawrence (4th) 27-09.50; Alexxis Otto (11th) 19-09
