Eight is great.

Four Coupeville High School track and field athletes currently land in the top 10 among all 2B competitors in an event, with 75% of those Wolves sitting in the #8 slot.

Then there’s sophomore Wyatt Fitch-Marron, who smashed his PR in the high jump by four inches Saturday at the Cow Town Classic Invite, shooting him up to #3 in the state.

There are four meets left on the schedule, with the BCS Invitational at Lake Sammamish May 2 being the final regular season rumble before CHS begins the postseason push.

Where things sit statewide through April 27:

 

GIRLS:

Shot Put — Tamsin Ward (8th) 31-07

Pole Vault — Lillian Ketterling (8th) 8-03

 

BOYS:

High Jump — Wyatt Fitch-Marron (3rd) 6-02; Davin Houston (8th-tie) 5-10

Gloomy day, bright results

They endured.

Competing on a ferociously wet afternoon in Mount Vernon Wednesday, Coupeville High School track and field athletes survived the weather while still piling up a fair number of PRs at a 12-team meet.

April arrived with a deluge, leaving Wolf coaches Elizabeth Bitting and Bob Martin to shake their heads in wonder.

“Today was a wet one, we haven’t had many meets like that … soaked to the bones,” said the track gurus.

“Even with Mother Nature trying to steal the spotlight, it was a great team effort, and the athletes showed a lot of grit; they did great.”

While the competitors had long since gone home, complete results from the meet took a while to arrive, not being finished until Thursday afternoon.

Once the stats were final, they showed Coupeville finishing 3rd in the boys’ team standings, while the Wolf girls collected a 4th place finish.

Mount Vernon Christian and La Conner earned team titles in the girls’ and boys’ battles, respectively.

Overall, the Wolves earned 18 PRs in the rain, with two wins from freshman Cyrus Sparacio (1600, 3200) and another from the boys 4 x 400 relay squad.

Coupeville’s track stars will have some time to dry out, with spring break keeping them on the sidelines.

The next meet for CHS arrives April 15, when the Wolves host an 11-team meet at Mickey Clark Field.

Sage Arends flies for the finish line.

The freshmen shall lead the way.

We’re one week, and two meets, into a new track and field season, and currently 12 Coupeville High School athletes are ranked in the top 10 among all 2B competitors.

Or at least the ones whose coaches have recorded their numbers on athletic.net, the go-to place for all your track stat needs.

Leading the way are 9th graders Tamsin Ward and Cyrus Sparacio, who are among the leaders in three different categories.

Hot on their heels, with two appearances apiece, are sophomore Lillian Ketterling and senior Malachi Somes.

While a whole lot can, and will, likely change between now and the state meet in May, here’s where CHS athletes sit among all students from 2B schools through Mar. 23:

 

GIRLS:

3200 — Mikayla Wagner (7th) 14:24.97; Devon Wyman (8th) 14:35.54

4 x 400 Relay — Olivia Hall, Lillian Ketterling, Tamsin Ward, Lexis Drake (7th) 5:12.82

Temps (slightly) rise, track stars soar

They’re in a groove now.

The second high school track and field meet of the season arrived Saturday, and it was a fairly big one as Coupeville hit the road to participate in the 25-team Rainier Icebreaker.

While far from home, the Wolves found strong competition, a smattering of top times and marks, and, lo and behold, even some blue skies.

“Beautiful weather at Rainier today,” said CHS coaches Bob Martin and Elizabeth Bitting.

“Funny how nice 52 (degrees) with a little sun feels after dealing with the rain and 30-40-degree temps most of the season.

“We may have even got a little burnt.”

Shining brightly under the sun, the Wolves earned several top-five performances, with sophomore Wyatt Fitch-Marron claiming top team honors with a 2nd place showing in the high jump.

He was joined by fab frosh Tamsin Ward (3rd in the shot put and 5th in the high jump), Lillian Ketterling (5th in the pole vault), and the mixed 4 x 400 relay unit, which hit the tape in 4th place.

That co-ed crew was comprised of Olivia Hall, Brian Thompson, Ketterling, and Edmund Wilson.

Overall, the Rainier girls and Elma boys collected team titles, with Coupeville finishing 14th and 15th, respectively.

With two meets in the books, the Wolf coaches like what they’ve seen, and are anticipating many more highlights to come.

“We saw several PRs and strong performances (today),” Martin and Bitting said. “And we’re looking forward to continued growth over the next month.”

Next up for Coupeville, or at least part of the roster, is a road trip Saturday, Mar. 28 to the 4th annual Stanwood Frosh/Soph Invitational.

“The future is looking bright!”

Young guns, having some fun.

That’s not just lyrics from an extra-bouncy 1982 song by Wham, but also an apt description of Saturday’s track and field meet.

Coupeville High School sent its young bunch on the road for the Stanwood Freshman/Sophomore Showcase, returning with 26 PRs and a win in the 110 hurdles from Axel Marshall.

Competing against a packed field of bigger schools, the Wolves claimed seventh place in the freshman boys’ team standings and eighth among sophomores, while the CHS girls were ninth best in both competitions.

Lake Stevens (boys) and Stanwood (girls) finished atop the reader board for freshmen, with Arlington coming out on top in both sophomore battles.

Marshall narrowly missed a double dip, finishing 2nd in the 300 hurdles, while Wyatt Fitch-Marron was 2nd in the freshman high jump.

Toss in some third and fourth-place finishes, plus a lot of personal bests, and the young Wolves made their mark in the big time.

“Great showing by our freshman and sophomore athletes today, well done!” said CHS coach Bob Martin. “The future is looking bright!”

With Spring Break upon them, the Wolves, young or old, don’t have another meet for a bit.

Coupeville returns to action as a complete team Thursday, April 10, when it travels to Shoreline to join Archbishop Thomas Murphy, Shorecrest, and Shorewood for an afternoon of competition.
