The future is today and tomorrow.
As the reborn Coupeville High School cross country team plows through its second season, the team is dominated by underclassmen.
Ten of the 14 Wolves who ran Thursday at a four-team meet in Granite Falls are freshmen, and CHS coach Luke Samford will lose just one senior, Chris Ruck.
Racing against Cedar Park Christian, Sultan, and the meet hosts, Coupeville’s boys claimed third-place in the team standings.
Leading the way was one of those fab frosh, as Mitchell Hall claimed 5th place on the 5,000 meter course.
On the girls side, there were no team standings as none of the schools had a full five-woman crew in attendance, but the Wolves were the dominant team.
Led by junior Catherine Lhamon, who hit the line in 2nd place, the Wolves claimed four of the top seven slots.
Coming off its strong showing in the regular-season finale, Coupeville next heads to the North Sound Conference Championships Oct. 26 at Lakewood.
