Coupeville dominates Olympic League meet / Track

The Coupeville High School track team enjoys playing in its own backyard.

The Wolves hosted the Olympic League 1A championship meet Friday, May 4, and came out on top in both the boys and girls standings.

The team’s efforts capped an outstanding spring for Coupeville High School athletics. The track squad now joins the baseball, softball and tennis teams as Olympic League champions.

Coupeville won the boys meet with 119 points, finishing ahead of Klahowya (75.5), Port Townsend (50.5) and Chimacum (16).

The Coupeville girls scored 98 points, followed by Klahowya (85), Port Townsend (68) and Chimacum (19).

In an afternoon full of highlights for the Wolves, Coupeville senior Jacob Smith played the starring role. Smith broke the 31-year-old school record in the 100 meters with 11.12, topping Bill Carstensen’s 11.14 set in 1987.

Smith also owns the school 200 meter mark, which he set at last year’s state meet.

In Friday’s contest, he won the 200 (22.87) and ran on two winning relay teams.

Smith joined Cameron Toomey-Stout, Sean Toomey-Stout and Jean Lund Olsen to take the 4×100 (45.29), and teamed with Henry Wynn, Sean Toomey-Stout and Danny Conlisk on the first-place 4×400 squad (3:39.69).

Sean Toomey-Stout was also a four-time winner, capturing the javelin (131-06) and long jump (18-11.5) as well as the two relays.

Ariah Bepler won three individual events (discus, 110-01; high jump, 6-02; triple jump, 38-07).

Conlisk was first in the 400 (52.46), and Jakobi Baumann won the 110 hurdles (19.69).

The Coupeville girls also had a school-record performance.

Mallory Kortuem broke her own record in the pole vault by six inches, clearing 7-06 to finish second.

She added a win in the 400 (1:01.73) and in two relays with Ashlie Shank, Maya Toomey-Stout and Lindsey Roberts (4×100, 52.44; 4×200, 1:50.18).

Roberts (200, 27.51), Allison Wenzel (discus, 96-08) and Cassidy Moody (long jump, 13-11.5) were other Coupeville winners.

The Wolves qualified 24 athletes (and maybe more) for the district meet May 18 and 19 at Renton Memorial Stadium.

The top three finishers in each event Friday earned berths in the district meet. The marks of the fourth-place finishers will be compared to the fifth-place finishers in the Nisqually League meet, which will be held next weekend, and the best of the two move on to district.
