They’ll be trailblazers.

Coupeville grads Pamela Morrell and Ember Light, who anchored the CHS spirit team during their high school days, are helping launch a new cheer program at Whatcom College.

The former Wolves were picked for the school’s first-ever squad, which debuts this fall.

Morrell, who is studying nursing, and Light, who is pursuing an allied health degree with plans to move onto radiology school, were busy bees during their time in Cow Town.

The former was involved in the CHS Theater Troupe and is an accomplished artist, while the latter was a talented tennis player and yearbook photographer.

Morrell and Light graduated with the CHS Class of 2025 and were both in the top 10 that year for career GPA’s.

The duo also nabbed Student of the Quarter honors from the Coupeville Lions Club during their senior year.

They’re not the only former Wolves from their class to be an athlete at Whatcom, either, as fellow Class of ’25 grad Mia Farris played volleyball for the Orcas this past fall.

Say hello to the finish line.

A final burst of Coupeville Middle School track and field pics takes us to the end of spring sports — just as the weather starts to finally get nice.

Such is life on the often-windblown prairie.

No more races, no more throws, but still plenty of photos.

While the Coupeville Middle School track and field team wrapped its season Thursday at the Cascade League Championships, we still have some pics to disperse.

The eight-pack seen above and below, capturing a variety of Wolves in action this spring, come to us from the camera of Wolf Mom Julie Wheat.
