The temperatures are soaring, and so are the mileage stats.
With summer finally hitting the Northwest, Coupeville cross country runners are taking advantage of the nice weather to get out on local trails and put in some miles.
CMS harrier coach Elizabeth Bitting is charting workouts for both high school and middle school runners, and the week just ended turned out to be the best of the season.
There were 14 Wolves checking in with mileage totals, and the group racked up 116.6 miles, the top total of the summer.
Overall, CHS and CMS runners have compiled 488.6 miles on the trails, roads, and byways since summer workouts began.
With a new week ahead of them, the Wolves get a chance to compete in their second virtual race of the summer, and this one will be known as the Rhodie Roadie Run.
High school runners are supposed to complete the two-mile course twice, with middle school harriers doing the loop once.
The Wolves can submit their results anytime by Saturday, July 25, and the results will be posted here on Coupeville Sports next Sunday.
