Cole Weinstein

Makana Stone is not the only former Coupeville standout tearing up things at Whitman College these days.

Wolf grad Cole Weinstein is busy rewriting the school’s record books and was tabbed as Co-Swimmer of the Year by the Northwest Conference.

He claimed three first-places finishes at the conference meet in mid-Feb., winning the 400 individual medley and 1,650 free while swimming a leg on a triumphant 400 free relay unit.

Weinstein’s time in the 400 IM (3:58.64) broke the school and league record.

In addition to his three firsts, he racked up a second-place finish in the 500 free and a third in the 800 free relay, helping Whitman cruise to the conference title.

Now a three-time, First-Team All-League pick, Weinstein is off to the NCAA D-III championships in Texas Mar. 15-18.

While there he’s scheduled to compete in the 400 IM, 500 free and 200 breaststroke.

It will be his second appearance at the national championships.

A senior at Whitman, Weinstein is majoring in film and media studies.

Before heading to Whitman, he had a very successful run with the North Whidbey Aquatic Club and competed in the pool for Oak Harbor High School, like older sister Rachel, since Coupeville doesn’t have a facility or team.
