Awards season neared an end Tuesday night.

Somewhere out there in the near future, there’s still letters and team awards to be handed out to the track and field team, but, as graduation roars up on Coupeville High School, all the big trophies, plaques and handshakes have been delivered.

Among the awards handed out Tuesday were four aimed at senior athletes.

Sponsored by military branches, they’re a semi-sneaky way for the armed services to get their name on campus, while not requiring any administrators or athletes to officially endorse the military.

Madison Tisa McPhee and Nathan Lamb were picked for the U.S. Marine Corps Distinguished Athlete Award, while the U.S. Army Reserve National Scholar/Athlete Award went to Haley Marx and Luke Pelant.

Weird coincidence: all four played soccer.

Tisa McPhee was also a sensational track star, bringing home two medals from the 1A state track meet (3rd in the 100 hurdles, 5th in the 4 x 200).

Lamb was the #1 player on the Wolf boys’ tennis squad and Marx was a co-captain on the girls’ basketball team.
